THE Chatham Artillery ball team de-
coated the Oglethorpes by the score OF
N +oA in the game played at the Boil
.or Street Park yesterday afternoon.
II was quite a fast game. and was
oberacterized by some fine batting,
come fine fielding, but, and this ac-
cunts for the one-sided score, much
Of both that wasn't fine.
The teams, while nominally those of
the organizations whose names they
nlaved under, were really composite
teams. made up of players from all
tho teams in the city. The Oglethorpes
had members, not only of their own
team, but of the c. l.. A. and the
Y M. C. A. as well, and the Chat
hams had some of the best of the c.
L. A. material filling the important
places on their side.
The game started out most auspi-
ciously for the Oglethorpes. The Chat
hams, first at the bat, failed to score
and the Oglethorpes got in two runs.
Neither side scored in the next two
innings, and then the Chathams took
a start that was never caught by the
other side, and forged ahead adding
run to run, until the final score had
been piled up.
In the fourth inning Jimmie McIn-
tyre made a fine bunt and beat the
throw to first: Virgins hit safe over
short, and Krenson put a grounder to
Cummings who let it go by. Mcintyre
scored. Charlton went out on a fly
to Elton; and Germany was out on a
hit to third, on which Virgins scored
on the throw to first. The side was
retired when J. /Downey struck out.
The Oglethorpes failed to score in their
half of the inning.
Again in the fifth the Chathams
started to get more runs. Kelly got to
first on balls; Kayton struck out; but
Schley, the next man up, picked out a
waist ball and put it over the left field
fence for a home run, Kelly coming in
ahead of him. Mcintyre was out at
Virgins managed to get one safe past
third, the side was retired by Kren-
sons grounder to second. Again the
other side failed to get a man across
the plate.
In the following inning the Chathams
hammered the ball all over the lot and
managed to get three men across the
plate before the side was retired. Charl-
ton hit safe past Cumming; Germany
IL II
for three bases, sending Charlton
across the plate, and Kelley raped
grounder that passed within easy field
ing distance of both pitcher and sec
ond, both of whom let it get away, KEEL
ly making first and Downey scoring.
Kayton put 1t, to third, but was safe
at first on wild throw to that bag by
Cumming, on which Kelly scored
Schley hit to short and beat the ball
to first, but the side went out when
Mcintyre hit to Elton, who, with
Schreck and Frank Mcintyre. made a
double play, catching Schley at second
and Mcintyre at first.
In this inning the Oglethorpes man
aged to get one run. Stark hit safe
to right, and got to second on it: Ell
ton was out on a fly to left; Sullivan
hit safe to short, and McAvoy got it
by third. Stark scored but the side
went out on McBrides fly out to CEN
ter, and a double play to second.
The Galatians increased their bat
ung streak in the next inning and
the first four men up, Virgins, Kren-
son. Charlton and Germany each got
hlts. the first two scoring on Charl-
TONS rap to center. Then Deitz Clarke
decided to replace O'Connor in the box
with Elton, and change McAvoy and
Stark. When notified of the change

out, and Kelly raped a hot liner to
Mcbride, who had replaced Elton at
snort and who unassisted, made a
double play, catching Germany off
third.
