c. L. AIS BACK FROM AUGUSTA.
Sore over the Causes That Led to
Their Defeat.

DeIeBN.
The Catholic Library Association ball
team returned from Augusta yesterday
morning, tired and weary The WEAKNESS.
however. was not caused so much by the
result of the game as from the effect of
the trip.
The train did not arrive In Augusta untn
two hours after the scheduled time, and
the return trip, judging from the accounts
of the excursionists, was something horrl-
Bile. The accommodations were inadequate
and there were not even enough seats for
the excursionists.
Both the players and the Savannah
crowd that saw the game are unanimous
in saying that the account OF the game
sent out from Augusta, in which SaVan-
nah is accused of unnecessary and tire
some kicking, is a wrong criticism. Sa-
vannah had a good kick coming to them
and they kicked only when occasion called
for 1t.
The main kick was over a decision of
Umpire Bennett, which was not in accord
ance with the rules. II was not an error
OF judgment, but ignorance of the rules
of the game, and when Mr.. Bennett was
shown where In he was wrong, he reversed
his decision.
The Augusta crowd was decidedly par
tisan. OF course II Is natural for a crowd
to whoop for its own club, but the Au-
gusta crowd treated Savannah pretty
shabbily. Augusta Is the home of the
kicker. They want everything. 1t is the
hardest thing In the world for a visiting
team to win in that city. A visiting team
has not only the team to play, but the
crowd, and sometimes, the umpire. This
has no reference to Umpire Bennett. as his
decisions were said to be impartial.
The boys attribute the loss OF the game
to several causes. First, 1t was a mistake
10 have put Krenson In to pitch. He pitch
ed a hard game Saturday, and his arm
was sore and not rested. O'Byrne caught
a good game, and the defeat cannot be
placed on him. The strain on him in the
first inning was terrible. and the amount
of work he had to do was enough to knock
out an ordinary man. The whole fact of
the matter is, the team became democrat
lied in the first inning, and the game was
lost there.
The team recovered itself nobly. how
ever. and made one Of the grandest uphill
fights ever seen on diamond.
When Hopkins went in In the second in
ming he knew the game was already lost,
but he pitched "a strong, steady game, and
showed that he Is made OF good stuff
The throw down that Jarvis gave the
Savannah team VIII put him on the black
list. Jarvis had contracted with the Savan-
nah club to play with It for the season. He
appeared to be thoroughly satisfied. and
said he had decided TO make Savannah
his home. He left the city Sunday for
brownsville without saying a word TO
anyone, and the Library team was left In
the lureh for a catcher. II Is understood
that Jarvis was persuaded into going to
Thomasville by Harper of the Valdosta
team, with whom he left the city.

Recorder Hnrtridge Provides New
Punishment for COnvictx.


Punishment for COnvicts.
William Graham, the colored bicyclst,
who ran into and severely hurt Mr.. E. L.
Rotureau at Congress and Jefferson streets
Monday, was sentenced to thirty days i'm
prisonment by Recorder Hartridge yester-
day morning.
s. Bryan and ]. Small, both colored.
were also sentenced to thirty days i'm
prisonment for gambling in the street. and
Washington Flowers. colored, was SEN
fenced TO twenty days Imprisonment for
being drunk and exposing his person.
The recorder entered a note opposite
each Of these sentences that the prison
ers were to be placed at labor around the
barracks or at the city exchange. There
is hardly enough work to keep four men
busy around the barracks, doing sleh
work as can be entrusted to prisoners, and
unless some other employment is found for
these men they are likely to have a snap
while serving their terms, though the
intention of the sentence is otherwise.
AS matters stand at present the city
prisoners who cannot be employed around
the barracks spend their time in idleness

den for the jailer and his assistants, and
run up considerable bill of costs for the
county in the way of food, medicines and
furniture and equipments which they de-
stroy. An amendment to the present law
giving the city the right to turn these pris-
oners over to the county commissioners
TO be placed on the county work is need

NAVAL MILITIA's CAMP.
savannah Divisions VIII Go with
Full Ranks.

Full tanks.
The two Savannah divisions Of the naval
militia expect to go down to St, simon's
Island for the encampment July 1921 with
full ranks.
The lieutenants commanding the divis-
ions have received the orders from the
state military department regarding
camp and are busy making preliminary
preparations for the trip.
A meeting will be held tonight at the
armory to ascertain how many will be
able to go into camp. Lieut.. II. S. Cold
ing of the second division was at work
all of yesterday He visited
the offices of the Central
railroad, where seven of the men
are employed, and was assured by Vice
President Egan of his willingness and de-
sire 10 have the men enter camp. Mr.
Egan told Lieut. Colding that he would
be pleased to have the men given vaca-
tons for their tour of duty. Thirteen Re-
serves are employed with the Plant sys-
TEN. Supt, Durham Is out of the city, but
Lieut.. Colding was promised that IL pos
sible, all the men would be allowed to go
and at all events as many as can be SPAR
ed will be given the privilege.
The militia men are enthusiastic over
the encampment. They realize the fact
that It is for work and instruction that
they are to go. but that is a con-
sideration that leaves them no less anx-
ious to go into camp.
Lieut.. Colding's order for the depart
ure for Brunswick will probably be issued
next Monday. He and two or three other
officers will have then returned
from trip to St. Simon's
and will be better able to
judge Of all the requirements. They Will
go down Sunday to visit the camp ground
and consult with Lieut.. Aiken Of Bruns-
wick, upon the details OF camp.
1t is now Lieut.. Colding's plan, though
II may be changed 10 leave here at 5
o'clock Thursday morning. July Is. BY
taking the train leaving at that hour the
militia will reach St. Simon's at 10 o'clock,
which will be in sufficient time to get the
camp fully established that day.
