nso handicapped by the Loss of
Her Regular Catcher.
Auqusta. Ca, July 5.-Augusta batted
o,t n victory in the first inning to-day,
and costly errors by Savannah helped the
.hinq along. Krenson was knocked out
of the box in one inning, but Augusta had
scored nine runs before the inning was
over savannah never got as many runs as
ahis during the game, and fought 1t out
In the face of inevitable defeat.
HiDkins was put in the box in the Sec
ond inning. and held down the hits pretty
well for the rest of the game, but Augusta
tailed three more runs and ended the
score Y to Z
Savannah was badly handicapped by the
absence of Jarvis, their regular catcher.
Jarvis left Savannah Sunday, and OByrne
had 20 go behind the bat.
1t was slow and tiresome game, lasting
three hours, and being greatly drawn out
hy continued and unnecessary kicking by
the Savannah players. 1t was the general
verdict that Umpire Bennett favored Sa-
vannah in all close decisions, but in spite
of this there was wrangling and delay in
nearly every inning. There was much ad-
verse comment upon these tactics of the
Savannah players. If the game had open
ed with Hipkins in the box the score would
have been different, even though Savan-
nah might not have won. There was the
largest crowd of the season present, about
800. The score, in full, follows:
