Savannah had lots Of chances to win,
and the game should have been savan-
nah victory Dad" Nolan's work in tho
box was fine He let the visitors down
with four scattering his, and had the ban
in excellent control. This was the first
game Nolan has pitched in the league Sc
ries as he has not been in the best OF
shape, and Huston was afraid to work
him until he rounded into proper shape.
Nolan has peculiar delivery. He does
not use much speed, but had a slow, puz-
zling bail, which the Sea Gulls could not
touch. He also uses his head and fields
his position finely besides being a hard
worker in backing up the first baseman.

lantyne's catching. and the Savannah
player caught a good game. though he
failed to connect with the ball. He did not
have a chance to throw TO the bases

two bad errors. One grounder went right
through his legs and the other was a
tumble. He was slow in getting the bah 20

good chance TO score IN the second, but
the lack Of proper coaching and bad base
running prevented tally. Weikart opened
with a hit between left and center. With
no one out he should have waited his OPP
portunity. but instead he tried to go down
to second and was caught about ten feet
from the base. Dowie followed with
sharp grounder past second, but was
doubled when Ballantyne hit to Pender
Charleston got two men on bases In the
second inning, but they died there.
