UMPIRE CURTIS DECISION.
He Says the Cotton Men Beat the
Board of Trade Squarely.

He Says the Cotton wen Beat the
Board of Trade Squarely.
The talk among Bay street men yester-
day was all base ball. The game between
the Cotton Exchange and Board of Trade
clubs was debated in front of every Office
The cotton exchange men were bullish and
jubilant over their victory, while the deal
ers in tar, pitch and turpenune,' were
rather quiet and disgruntled. The out
siders laughed and commented upon the
players in the game and did not appear to
care much about the result.
The Board of Trade club is not satisfied
with the decision of Uumpire Curtis in Civ
ing the game TO the cotton exchange
They have entered a protest, but the UNI
pire says that, under the rules OF the
game the cotton exchange men were the
victors and there is no going behind his
decision.
The Stockholders, who had considerable
money up, did not pay over the amounts
to the winners. as they awaited the final
decision as to the legality of the UNI
pire's decision.
A letter from Mr., Curtis late in the af-
ternoon stated that the game was fairly
won by the cotton exchange, and his de-
cision was final.
Captain Whitehead of the Board of
Trade team sent letter to Captain Stew
art of the cotton exchange. in which he
stated that there was considerable doubt
as to the game. and that his men did not
consider that they were beaten. He ten
dered a challenge for another game next
Saturday to settle the championship.
Captain Stewart replied: Under the
wording of your challenge, we cannot con-
slider II. The game was finally decided In
our favor and the decision was acquiesced
in by your president We will be glad to
play your club again, but cannot do so
unless the language of your challenge is
changed. We are playing merely for
amusement. and do not care to cause any
feeling between the organizations we
represent"
Later in the day Captain Whitehead
not accorded the simple privilege. when
asked for, to allow our pitcher to retire
q few minutes to arrange his toilet. and
being compelled out of decency to the
audience to withdraw him until he could
make himself presentable; and owing to
the fact that after he was able to return
to his position you would not allow him
to do So and last, but not least, after we
had given you the first half of the ninth
inning, when we were playing, and had a
good opportunity to win the game; without
consulting our captain, the captain Of
your team, by constant kicking. succeed
ed in getting the umpire to call the game.
This taking away our chances to win.
under these circumstances, we hereby pro-
test the game.
Having received the Official notice
from Umpire Curtis, Captain Stewart de-
cided not to reply to the last letter and
protest from the Board of Trade club, and
as he felt confident that his team had fair
ly won the game, he concluded that fur
Their correspondence would be unneces-
sary.

A Paving Material Which May BE
just what Savannah Needs.

The attention of the mayor was yester-

an excellent material for street paving.
This ore is a hematte containing Al per
cent. of iron. and little sulphur. The
iron pebbles vary In size from marble to
a couple of inches in diameter. The mate
