WON THE INDOOR REMNANT.
CATHOLIC LIBRARY TEAM VICTOR
IN THE TRI-CLUB LEAGUE.

The Final Game Theirs and the He
brew Association Team Defeated
13 to 1.-THE Game the Most Exeit-
ing Yet PIayed-The Gymnasium
Hall Packed with Admirers of the
Game and the COntesting Teams.
The Winners to Celebrate Their
Victory at the RegimentaI Fair.
The Catholic Library Association indoor
base ball team is the winner of the PEN
nant in the tri-club league. 1t defeated
the Young Mems Hebrew Association team
in the final and deciding game at the
Y. M. c. A. gymnasium last night by a
score of 10 to z.
The game was undoubtedly the most ex-
citing and the hardest fought that has yet
been played. 1t meant the pennant to the
team that won, and both teams were in
the game for keeps.
An hour and a half before the time for
the game to begin people began to ar
rive, and long before o'clock it was i'm
possible to obtain even standing room.
Not only were the galleries and windows
crowded, but many crawled on the roof
and watched the game through the large
skylight.
Enthusiasm is not strong enough word
to express the excitement that seemed to
permeate the spectators. The crowd was
simply drunk with it, and the majority
of the players were affected in the same
manner. A large portion of the front row
seats were occupied by noisy small bows
and they made the air hideous with their
yells. There is nothing on earth to COM
pare with the noise made by the combined
voices OF lot of youngsters unless it be
the DIN of Greaco-Turkish battle.
The game was well played throughout
and Notwithstanding the score was a lit
tie one-sided there was no certainty as to
the outcome until the end of the last in
ming.
The c. LA. boys played beautiful game
and their playing seemed to be Infused
with a confidence which was lacking in
that OF their opponents. Horrigan pitched
admirably only giving two bases on balls.
striking out five men, and allowing but
five hits. The catching of Sullivan was
superb. He got sixteen put-outs, twelve
of which were foul tips. Ed Brady was
not strong al the bat, but he ran bases
ike deer and scored four runs.
Smith struck out nine of the c, L. A
batsmen, but was wild at times and al
lowed eight bases on balls. Kayton was
accidentally struck in the nose in the early
part of the game, but his back-stop work
was gilt edge. The team work of the Y.
M. H. A. boys was good. Meinhard. Frank
and Epstein made the runs for that side.
George Nell and j. 7. Clarke umpired
and while there was a little kicking the
umpiring on a whole was satisfactory.
The score follows:

The grand exalted ruler is here on his
first official visit to Savannah lodge. 1t
was he who healed the breach between
the Elks some years ago when two con-
ventions were held, and he has succeeded
in building up and Strengthening the lodges
all over the country, having given up his
entire time to the work for the last five
months, simply through his high regard
for the order, and his earnestness in be-
half of it's continued success. He in

to remain in Savannah to-day, and several

TALKED OF FOR HEALTH OFFICER
Possible Candidates to Succeed DIR.
Drummer.

Drummer.
The question of a successor to DR.. W.
f. Drummer as health officer is one that
interests more people in Savannah just
now than almost any other question. The
action of council last night in deciding
TO advertise the election for the meeting
two weeks hence will doubtless result in
bringing several candidates into the field.
In this connection the appointment by
Mayor Meldrim to temporarily I'LL the va
cancy is of interest. The appointment
must be made on Saturday or before, as
DR.. Burners resignation takes effect on
that date. Mayor M eldrim gave no lndi-
cation last night as to whom he would ap-
point. 1t is probable that he has not yet
decided as this action was only rendered
necessary by the action of council last
night One of the aldermen suggested,
when the matter was before council, that
DIR. owens, as chairman of the public
health committee, was the proper person
to take charge of the office during the
interim, but another member remarked
that this would be crowding too many Of
fees on DR.. Owen, he being already a
member of the board Of aldermen and the
sanitary DOdfu, WAbcn might dueCt the
legality of the appointment
Among the possible appointees are DR..
LeHardy, DIR. Crowt.her and DR.. Graham.
The latter has been mentioned as a posi-
ble candidate for health officer, having the
advantage of four years experience as
quarantine officer and being recognized as
an authority, locally, on bacteriology and
germ diseases, and the various methods of
disinfection. DIR. Graham is said, however
to have declined to consider the matter,
preferring to develop his practice here to
accepting a position at a stated salary.
The friends of DIR. LeIaTdy regard his
election as certain. At the same time
there are members of the board who in
cline to the strict quarantine views held
by DIR. Drummer, though favoring the re-
moval of all restrictions pos
sible with safety on the
commerce of the port, and who
are rather dubious of DR.. LeHardy's views
on quarantine Though the indications
are in favor of DR.. LeHardy, the action or
council cannot be predicted with any de-
gree of certainty. There is no telling
what may occur to affect the action of
council In the interval preceding the cleo
ton.
Dr. LeHardy left last night for Macon,
where he will read a paper to-day before
the state medical association, advocating
the creation of the office of state commits
sioner of health and drainage. one of
whose principal duties shall be the drain
age of the lowlands of the state with the
aid of state convict labor.

81 FOR obsTRUCTING A STREET.
Savannah Traction Company Let on
with a Nominal Fine.

Manager j. s. Collins of the Traction
Company has been fined 81 by the recorder
for permitting piles of crossties to block
ade Duffy street, and. at the same time
not displaying a warning light at night.
The case had been continued from time
to time, to allow Mr.. Collins to find out
who was responsible for the lights not be-
ing displayed and to see if there were not
some good excuse for the neglect. He
submitted to the recorder that the piles
of ties were not placed too far out in the
street, but upon this fact the witnesses
were positive, and the fine was imposed.
The crossties have been moved back and
the street opened up. The ties remained
for several days after the case was re-
ported to the police. a dangerous blockade
to travel.
Theodore Eulenbergs the Austrian push
er of fruit cart, who was held at the
barracks on the charge Of shooting and
attempting TO kill G.. Knowles, a negro
was released yesterday. on the order of
the recorder, on his own recognizanee. 1t
is not believed the negro is seriously hurt,
and the evidence goesto show that Eulen-
berg was wholly justified in shooting.
