LAWSON AT ST. JOSEPH'S.
Expects, Though, to BE I'm Races at
the Coliseum Sunday Week.


the Coliseum Sunday Week.
Gussie Lawson, 1.-THE Terrible
Swedef' who was so badly injured
while training at the Coliseum Tues
day, is still at St. Joseph's Hospital,
but is steadily improving. 1.-THE
Swede'' has had no fever since his hard
fall and injury. He expects to get out
of the hospital before Monday and will
probably be an entry in the free-for-
all card that Prince will offer his pat
irons Sunday week. The game rider
declares that he remembers nothing
from the time he left the track with
his wheel, until he regained conscious
ness in the florists wagon that was
bringing him rapidly to the city. Law
son, however, has had worse falls, and
Tuesdays accident did not cause him
to lose any of his grit
Prince expects to make Sunday rae
ing popular in Savannah, and the first
meet win be given at the urgent re-
quest of many of the patrons of the
game. 1t is rather chilly for night
racing at this season of the year, and
II is the purpose of Prince to have the
races on Sunday afternoons They will
take the place of the attractions that
were put on at the Casino during the
summer. The new schedule will give
the folks who have to work during the
week and who are weary when night
falls an opportunity. of witnessing the
game. Sunday afternoon racing may
be continued for several weeks to
take the place of the outdoor attrac-
tons offered at the Casino during the
summer months.

DAMAGES FOR SONS DEATH.
Mother of Boy Killed by Trolley
Car Sues the Company.

NhE tue
Suit against the Savannah Electric
Company for damages for the death
of Henry Williams, a colored boy killed
by one of the companys cars last July
was filed in the City Court yesterday
The plaintiff is the boys mother, who
wants $2225.96 for the loss to her caus-
ed by his death.
The boy was run over by a car on
West Broad street and instantly killed
His mother complains that he was
killed because of the wanton negli-
gence of the motorman, who was op-
Grating the car at a rate of speed for
hidden equally by the city ordinances
and the dictates of prudence. She
charges that the company was itself
negligent In permitting the operation
of the car which is said to have been
old, worn, out of repair and difficult
to stop. The plaintiff says her son
exercised every reasonable precaution
for his own safety, and did not con-
tribute to his death by his own negli-
gence.
The amount for which she sues, she
claims, represents the value of her
sons life to her. He was the princi-
pal support of herself and her blind
husband The plaintiff is represented
by d. II. Clark ESQ a.

IF SAVANNAH GETS IN
CHARLESTON ALSO MUST PLAY
BALL IN SOUTHERN LEAGUE.
CITIES ENTER TOGETHER.
IF ONE KEEPS OUT, SOUTHERN
LEAGUE WILL PASS UP BOTH.

to an Eight-CIub Circuit by the
Addition of Either savannah aud

nOoga-Promoters of Deal Want
This City and Charleston in the
New League-NO Agreement with
Savannah Electric Company About
Repair to GrOunds-New Athletic
Field May Be Established.
Another contingency has made its
appearance, which must be met before
there can be professional baseball i'll
Savannah next year. Charleston must
be willing to join the Southern League.
as well as Savannah. or the plan will
be all off.
AS organized at Montgomery on last
Sunday, the league consists of Mem
phis. Nashville, New Orleans. Atlanta,
Birmingham and Montgomery. This is
TO be enlarged into an eight-elub
league, by the addition of either Savan-
nah and Charleston or of Mobile and
Chattanooga. One or the other pair
will be taken.
The Savannah men behind the move
ment received a letter yesterday from
Caruthers Ewing, attorney for the
Memphis club and one of the promi
nent men of the new league. 1t was
Mr.. Ewing who was here some time
ago in the clubs interest. He said in
his letter that he and the Memphis
baseball men much preferred to have
Savannah and Charleston in the league
to the other pair of cities that had been
suggested.
The other contingency-the willing
ness of the street railway company to
put the grounds in good shape, is an
uncertainty. General Manager Maggie
is still North. and his return is being
awaited before the matter is taken up.
The railways objection to spending too
much money on the present grounds is
that they are so near some of the res
idence sections of the city that many
of the patrons of the national game
would walk out to the park rather than
use the cars. This may result in the
establishment of new athletic grounds
further from the city limits.
To have to face a second condition
of success has beeen a bit discourage
ing to the Savannah fans who are try
ing to place a team in the field, but
they have not given up by any means,
and are still determined to win out If
It can be done. The state of feeling in
Charleston, upon which SaVannah's
success now seemingly is made to de-
pend, is not known here.

AT THE THEATER

Miss Bertha Creighton, who is star
ring this season in Miss Grace Livings-
ton Furniss' romantic comedy drama,
"A Colonial Girl" which will be seen
at the Theater to-day, matinee and
night, is said to carry the most COM
plete production that leaves New York
this season. Costumes, scenery, brio
a-brac, furniture, properties, etc.-in
fact all that is required is the empty
stage. The story concerns Colonial
days when Godfrey Remsen. the scape-
grace of his family, returns from Eu-
rope to find himself the heir OF his
wealthy uncle and Tilted by his sweet
heart, Judith, who has married old Sir
Henry Danvers. In pique. he vows
that he will marry the first sweet, in
nocent girl he meets. She appears in
the person of MoIlie Heddin, the or
phaned daughter of Capt. Heddin. She
mistakes the RemSen mansion for
Faunce's tavern. and is courted and
married offhand. In the second act
Lady Danvers is a widow and renews
her siege to Remsen's heart; but he is
proof against temptation. Then she
tells poor Moilie that Remsen has mar
ried her for revenge. This poison works
mischief between the. newly married
pair. Not satisfied with, that, Lady
Danvers picks up a letter from Wash
ington to Remsen and induces Mollie
to give 1t to Col. Carteret, the COM
mander of the British forces. Con-
sequently Remsen is hunted down as
a spy. In a clever scene he imperson-
ates British fop;.. fights a duel with
Capt. Lovelace, British officer, in
defense of his wife's honor, and the
Liberty Boys rush in and end the pref
ty play happily.
Prices for the matinee will be so and
rs cents; regular prices at night.

WANTS ANOTHER MATCH.
Sheahan Says He Didn't Quit ma
Will Knock Out Durane,

Jack Sheahan. the local lightweight
who lost to Jack Durane in the sixth
round of the battle Wednesday night,
claims that it was not case of quit
on his part; that he was really knock
ed out but that this only happened
through the fact that in. one of the
falls, brought about in one of the
wrestling clinches, his shoulder was
so hurt that he was unable to use his
arm effectively. He further says that
ms claim of foul in the fifth round was
justified because. Durane gave him
the knee
Sheahan is very anxious for another
go at Durane and hopes to get it ON.

and enough of his friends also think

promises that the next time he goes
against the sailor therell be a differ
ent ending to the bout.

the Mayor yesterday upon a charge
