HEBREWS DEFEAT GUARDS.
Indoor Base Ball Game Victory for
Them by "a Score of 10 to IL.

Indoor Base Ball Game a Victory for
Them by a Score of 10 to IL.
The, indoor base ball team of the Young
Mems Hebrew Association defeated that of
the Savannah Volunteer Guards at the
Guards Hall last night. The score was
10 to u.
The game was loosely played through
out. both teams going to pieces at criti-
cal points. The poor playing was especi-
ally noticeable and frequent on the part
Of the Guards The Hebrew boys did some,
but not much, better. The features of the
game was Fleming's catch of a difficult
fiy in left field and the all-round playing
Of Kayton and King. There was fair
attendance and considering the cold and
windy weather a good one.
This season the Guards and Hebrews
have played two games, of which one has
been won by each team. 1t Is altogether
probable that, another game will be ar
ranged to settle the tie now existing. Pos
sibIy there is also a desire among the
members of both teams to show that they
are capable of better ball than was dis
played last night. Such a desire is alto
gether commendable and proper.
