Il nas a mighty fall, and Augusta did
49, Ealing Nine to six was the score,
and savannah had the winning number of
nns
Tho grand stand, the bleachers, the
..r,ss the trees and the house tops
.-,und the base ball park were crowded
uith cranks who had only one sentiment
IN their hearts-and that was to help Sa-
rsnnab win the game. They helped, and
MANY a crank is hoarse for the amount of
Yelling done. Every pair of lungs was in
strong, healthy condition, and at every
critical point in the game the voices of
the fans encouraged the boys in maroon
and grey. 1t was a fine day for the game.
A friendly bank Of clouds in the west
kept the sun under cover half the time,
and breeze made the base ball park the
most pleasant spot in the city.
Fifteen hundred people witnessed the
game which was one of the best played
Of the season. The grand stand was
packeo to its utmost capacity. The larg-
est number of ladies in attendance upon
any Of the games has been 500. Yesterday
over 700 ladies were out, and the grand

The Augusta boys played a good game.
Connife, the left hand pitcher, is by long
odds the best twirler that the Library
boys have faced yet. Had he received the
field support that Krenson got Augusta
would have been an easy winner.
Savannah took the bat first. Bob Brady
flied out to second; Harper struck out.
and Ballantyne initiated him.
For Augusta Mulherin hit to Harper and
died at FIRST Norven hit safe for one
sack: Biers hit to Ballantyne, and right
there a double play was easy and would
have retired the side. Ballantyne fired
the ball high above second base; Norvell
raced to third and Biers to second; San
ford hit to Ed Brady, who seemed to think
it the proper thing to follow Balantyne's
example, and he threw the ball far over
first basemans head Norvell. Biers and
Sanford scored and quietness was the or
der Of the day among the bleacherites.
For four innings Savannah did not get
q man over the plate, but the boys pulled
together, after that. In the fifth inning
Hipkns hit to pitcher and stopped at first;
Brown hit a fly to left field which was
muffed; OCOnnor hit to Blers, who FUN
bled, Brown going to second and OCon-
nor landing safe at first. Two men were
out and two on bases and there was not
d sound as Krenson faced the pitcher. He
sWug wildly thrice, but Sanford dropped
the ban, and when he recovered it fired
it over first base out to right field, on the
return. J. Smith, the first baseman threw
wild and the ball bounded over towards
the bleachers with the whole Augusta
team after it. Brown, O'Connor and
krenson crossed the plate and the score
was tied. For five minutes pandemonium
reigped The men stood up and yelled un-
I'll they were hoarse, the ladies' waved
their kerchiefs and clapped their hands
uhti they could wave and clap no long
er' Not yell went up from the left hand
quarter OF the grand stand. The Angus
tans were together there.
IN me sixth inning Savannah piled up
ioH more runs and in the seventh the
ilst two were added to their column.
rom the first to the eighth inning not a
eahahiller was allowed to visit home. In
augustus half Of the eighth by punching
nus ana aided by Brady's error, Augusta
sot three more runs, but In the ninth they
went out IN one, two, three order, and the
game was Savannahs.
howard Hopkins carried the batting
Itls oil the day, scoring three hits.
n .,.i pitched a good game, yielding
Slly seven hits and not giving a single
udse on balls. Ed. Brady was not in his
usual form at second, but at the bat he
redeemed himself for misplays in the field,
Sung a single and double off Conniffe.
Sonnor played in left field for the first
o O,le ms season. 1t is his luck to get a
uaIl-e d. brilliant play at least once in
very game, and he never fails to accent
,uch chances. He pulled down a line hit
70 ieft field fence, and assisted in one of
we prettiest double plays ever made at
