Will Practice in Savannah--BaIti-
mOres to Play Y. VI. C. AS.
Manager Thomas Burns of the Chicago
base ball team arrived in Savannah yes
terday to arrange for bringing his team
here to finish its preliminary work Burns
is much dissatisfied with the grounds and
hotel accommodations in Waycross. The
ground, he says, is entirely unsuited to
heavy, work such as the team sub
jected 1t to. After the first few days
practice the diamond became soft and
several players turned their ankles as a
result
Manager Burns went out to the park
with Director Stewart of the Savannah
club and concluded arrangements to bring
the Colts TO Savannah Wednesday, The
team will remain here until April g. Games
will be played March 81 and April l and >
Baltimore is scheduled to play with Sa>
vannah March 26, 2S and 20, but this will
not interfere materially with the practice
of the Chicago team
Manager Burns received telegram from
President Hart of the Chicago club last
night, telling him not to arrange to come
to Savannah until letter which Hart has
written reaches him. He expects this let
ter to-day. Burns does not think his plans
will be changed, however, and he expects
to return TO Waycross to-day and come
| to Savannah Wednesday.
Manager Burns is pleased with the Sa-
vannah grounds, and says the change of
the place of practice will benefit his team
greatly.
First Baseman Weikert and Pitcher Her
| bert of the Savannah team arrived yes.
| terday. There are now nine of the play
ers in Savannah.
| The negotiations which have been going
| on for several days between the Y M. C.
| A. and the Baltimore teams were closed
yesterday and Baltimore will be here for
two games of indoor ball next Saturday
and Monday nights, at the Y M. C. A.
hall. This will be an opportunity to see
the champions that will probably be taken
| advantage of by many who will be I'M
| able to attend the outdoor games with
| the Savannah team. Stencil the great
hitter and base runner, will be in the
| game, with Pond, who will do the pitching
against Thompson. McGraw will play
third base and captain the team The
other men who will play are McGann
Demontreville o. Brien, Quinn, Hoffer and
! Clarke. McGraw writes that most of the
| men are familiar with the game, several
que. The game is sure to be an inter
estlng exhibition.
The game of indoor ball last night be-
tween the Cadets Juniors and Y. M. H.
| A. Juniors, resulted in a. victory for the
1 latter by a score of 10 to 9. While the
score was large the game was interesting
from start TO finish. The Hebrew boys
got in their work early in the game and
hit the bail hard. While the Cadet boys
did not handle the stick so well they
fielded a beautiful game The Elton boys
at chort carried off the honors for the Ca
| diets. while the catch of Shefftall in the
seventh inning with the bases full, and
the heavy hitting of Cohen, Stern,
Schwartzbaum aud Brown of the Y. NJ. H.
A.. Juniors, and Elton, Bailey and Har-
! mon for the Cadets were all right Ep-
stein pitched good game for the Y. M.

play any team in the city under 16 yea rs
