Dry College freshman, and, although but
II years old he is easily the best pitcher
who has played in Savannah in many
years. His speed is terrific, and judging
from the way the Library boys sawed the
air, MCAfee's curves must be Chinese

The Eufaula felders did not have much
chance to cover themselves with glory,
the battery did all the work. Manager
Fields has one Of the best teams that has
ever played here. They are a gentlemanly
set OF players and won for themselves
much praise by the hard, clean game they
put up.
