Boston won the rubber from Savannah
yesterday afternoon on score Of 7 to G.
The colts put up hard fight to win the
deciding game and really played the bet
ter game. but luck was against them, and
it was ordained they should lose.
The game was very well played. but
dragged at times. The batting Of boIh
teams was heavier than it has been in
any of the previous games. 1t takes the
men some time to get their batting eyes
in shape, and they are showing the prog
ress Of their work.
Stahl played brilliantly all around and
strengthened the belief Of Manager Selee
that he is a very fast man. Stahl made
half of the runs scored by his team, and
hit like a fiend. He welded the willow
with a vengeance and got three singles
and double. He is certainly a find, and
it looks as if Selee has struck a klngpin.
Sullivan has been bothered by a slight
cold for several days, but he pitched the
last three innings for Boston, and his arm
was in good shape. Hopkins pitched for
Boston yesterday, and went up against his
own men.
Reaves got a terrible belt on the side
of the head from pitched ball from
Hopkins in the senventh inning, and had
TO retire from the game. 1t was terri
BILE lick and raised big lump.
The colts played a good fielding game,
Harper making the only error charged up
against the team. Tucker, Bergen and
Hamilton had their weather optics on the
ball and hit pretty freely.
Savannah started out well and scored in
the first inning. Stahl hit safe to left
field and Yeager got his base on balls.
Stivetts followed with hit, bringing Stahl
In.
Savannah added three more runs to its
score in the fifth, before the big team had
run. Brady was hit by pitcher and
Murray got his base on balls; Stahl hit
safe, Yeager struck out and Stivetts flied
out to center field. Camel got his base
on an error, and Klobedanz did the same
thing, but they both died on base. Brady,
Murray and Stahl scored in this inning.
Boston scored one in the fifth. Tucker
hit for two bases and came home on Ber-
gems single
Boston tied the score in the sixth. MAX
Ing three runs. Collins got his base on
balls, Lowe singled. and Tucker went out,
but Bergen. Hopkins and Hamilton fol-
lowed with singles, and Collins, Lowe and
Bergen scored.
Savannah again took the lead in the
seventh. Stahl opened up with a two-bag-
ger and Yeager got his base on balls.
SWEETS got to first on the fielder's at
tempt to put Stahl out at home. Camel
followed with hit, and Yeager scored.

ming run in the eighth inning. Lowe flied
out, Tucker and Bergen got hits and Sui
ivan flied out. Hamilton followed with a
two-base hit and Tucker and Bergen came
IN. Tenney singled. scoring Hamilton.
ana Long flied out
very interesting feature of the rama
was the exhibition Of jumping by Jim Con-
molly. He made several trials at the hlgh
Jump and the triple leap, or what Is bet
Ter known as the hop step and jump AR
Connolly's performance was good and
very much appreciated, but his effo-t
was not as successful as he is sbIe n
make. He has not done any tumning
since last September, when he spraine5
