BRUNSWICK WON BOTH GAMES.
Defeated the Post Teams at Baseball
10 to L and s to 1.

~ TO L ana - TO L.
The Brunswick and the Post baseball
teams played two games yesterday after.
noon at the Bolton Street Park. both OF
which were won by Brunswick by the
scores of 1o-1 in the first game. and 81
in the second.
Owing to the rain. which began to fall
about the time the first game wa= 10 be
called, play was postponed until so late
that it was impossible to play two games
of nine innings each. The first was, there
fore, limited to five innings. King and
Charlton composed the battery and did
and the condition Of the grounds. There
were no sensational features to this game;
it was a case of hit and run and the
Brunswick team, as can be seen from the
score, did the most of both.
In the second game things began TO look
brighter for the Post team. A new pitcher
Ed Garrett-whom they borrowed from
Brunswick, was put in the box and start
ed out very well, indeed. but after an
inning or two the Brunswickers got onto
his curves and batted them around in
pretty lively fashion. This, in connection
with numerous passed balls and the. TO
say the least, not over brilliant fielding,
accounts for the numerous runs. Quite
the best play of the two games was
made by Kelly, left field of the POSE
team, who In the first inning. after a
long run, caught a long fly from Halo
wells bat that was damned up to the left
field fence, and which looked to be good
for at least three bases. If not a home
run. Another excellent play was
made in the third inning by
Client, right fielder of the Post team, who
caught a most difficult foul in right field.
after quite a long run. This same player
had previously distinguished himself by
catching, after quite sprint, a fly from
Harper's bat and by throwing quickly to
first base, scoring a double play.
Charlton played as he always does a
clean and conscientious game, but his
team was up against the real thing, and
not even his catching or coaching, both
of which were really good, could help
matters much.
Virgins, the Fernandina pitcher, who
was expected to pitch for the Posi- team,
could not get TO the city. as his team
was scheduled to play in Jacksonville
yesterday.
The Brunswick men all played good ball
and a no time was either game in doubt.
In Kapdam and Weiss, and Hallowell
teries that, to the natural qualifications
for their positions, add excellent abilities
as batters and fielders and play the game
for all that her is in 1t.
This morning the Brunswick team will
leave for Charleston, where three games
will be played after which the same num-
Der will be played in Augusta There is
also a possibility, said Manager Hirsch,
THAI the team will go to Rome for Sc
ries of games there.
While the three games that have been
played here have not been of quality
to bring out much enthusiasm on the part
of the spectators. il is quite likely that
better sport may be provided later in the
season. Manager Hirsch of the Bruins
wick team is very anxious to get series
with ehe Jacksonville aggregation, and
with that end in view. will offer to play
them for the best three out of five fol-
either $500 or 81 COO for the series. He stip-
ulates in his offer that the games shall
be played in Savannah, S he considers
this diamond to be a better one than car
be had in either Jacksonville or Bruins
wick. He feels sure, also, that Savan-
nahians will turn out in force to see G
series of good games such as will be as
sured. should his Offer be accepted by
Jacksonville. The challenge is open fol-
acceptance any time after this week.
