played game by a
~ ~ - score of IL to 9.
II " - There was a big
u.s. crowd in attendance.
The grand stand and
bleachers were packed. 1t was a noisy
crowd. Charleston was represented by
a couple of hundred rooters, and their
demonstrations. when their team did any
thing, We're, to paraphrase a recent say
ing Of a local statesman. a "monstrous
incongruity OF awfulness," in the shape
of noise.
Manager O'Neul Of the Charleston club
was prominent on the coachers' lines, and
he made his boys get in the game. Mr..
O'Neilrs little son was the mascot of
the team. He was dressed in the team
colors, and followed his father all over
the field. He is a cute little fellow. and
his antics amused the crowd. The Sa-
vannah rooters were quieter than when
Augusta was beaten. but they made their
presence known. The colors of both teams
were very much in evidence.
Charleston won the game by heavy bat
ting, and punching of hits. Harper was
an easy mark for the Carolina boys, and
they touched him up for fifteen hits, with
total of twenty. OF course, all pitchers
have off days Yesterday was the 18th
of the month, and Harper never could
pitch on unlucky days. The Savannah
management will see that no games in
future are arranged for that date.
Neville of the curly locks pitched an
excellent game for Charleston. Savannah
got eleven hits off him, but they were
scattered. Not a man reached first on
called balls.

than the visitors, and Harper was given
excellent support. Charleston is badly in
need a new third baseman If the play

fumbled nearly every ball that went 10

trieved himself by getting three hits.

retired without scoring. Jarvis was first
man up for Charleston and got hit TO
short stop, and stole second and third.

second and Neville struck out Simmons
hit to OConnor and reached first on an
error. Donahue hit safe over short, but

to second. LeClaire retired the side.
Charleston didn't score in the sixth or the
seventh, but Savannah scored two more
runs in the seventh, which put them one
run ahead OF the visitors. The rooters be-

base on balls and stole second. Irwin sac
