The C. L. AS rubbed it into the men
from FIT. Screven good and strong yes
terday, defeating them by a score of
IS to 4. 1t wasn't bad game for the
first five innings; the play was fair
considering the wet ground, and the
score was close enough to make it in
teresting, to l in favor of the sol
diers. But in the sixth inning, the c.
L. A. men lit onto Dobson and pound
ed him good and hard, and, aided by
the series of wild throws that the SOL
diers made at critical times, scored s
runs before the soldiers could make it
three out.
The feature of the game was the
playing of Schley and of McIntire of
the c. L. AS; though there was some
excellent work done for the other team
by Client, who played a crack jack
center field, and took everything that
came his way except a long fly from
Schley's bat in the sixth inning, that he
misjudged, and on which Schley made
two bases, sending in a run ahead of
him.
Cah ~ AxzIxr 41I,
giving but three bases on balls and
allowing but eight hits, though this is
the first game that he has pitched in
Savannah, but he carried off the bat
ting honors of the day, making four
hits out of six times at the bat, three
of them two-baggers, and scoring three
runs. Good as his record is his friends
think that with a dry diamond he
would have done even better, as he
would have had better control of the
ball. With Schley, ]. Mcintyre shared
the batting honors; out of six times at
the bat he made three hits, one a
home run over left field fence, and
scored three runs. ]. Downey also
batted remarkably well, getting four
hits out of six times at the bat.
McDonough did the best work with
the stick for the soldiers, making three
hits out of four times at the bat None
OF the others got more than one apiece.
There was no particularly clever
playing during the first half of the
game. The G. L. AS were the first to
the bat and ought to have scored, but
didn't. j. Downey, the first man up,
hit safe infield, Virgins followed with
a
Mcintyre fled out to third, w. Down
ey's fly to Dobson was muffed and the
bases were filled, with only one out
Charlton struck out, forcing Downey
out at the plate, and Virgins also was
caught at the plate.
The soldiers did better. Burk got his
base on balls, Client struck out, Wes-
nesky hit safe to right and though
Watson struck out, Dobson pasted one
nicely past second and Burk and Wes-
nesky romped home. The side was re-
tired by Dobson's being run down be-
tween second and third.
In the next inning the G. L. A. s
Jared even worse than at first, as
Schley, f. Mcintyre and Smith went
out in one, two, three order. The SOL
diers had more of a run for their
money, yet failed to score. Butler got
to first on three strikes, McDonough
| trying to score, Smith struck out and
so did Digler.
The c. l.. AS scored for the first
time in the fourth inning. Downey,
who got to first on a muffed ball, scor-
ing on Schleys hit between center and
left field. In this inning the soldiers,
too, scored another run, the last but
| one that they made during the game
After the disastrous sixth inning
they changed catchers, putting in
Smith, but the day was lost anyway,
and no changes that could be made
would have saved it.
The official score and summary is as
