The Savannah Y. NJ. c. A. ball team
was defeated by the Augusta team
4 Yesterday by a score of 9 to 2. The
visitors won through their excellent
team work, which is by far the best
that has been seen here this season.
They have also a splendid battery.
Wilcox, the pitcher, has speed, good
curves and fine control; the latter
oualitv is shown by the fact that he
gave but one man a base on balls,
struck out thirteen, and played an err
rorless game.
Hudgins, the catcher likewise played
q first -class game, especially noticea-
bic being his throwing to second base.
In fact, this throwing to second was
only equalled by the exceptionally
clever way that bag was covered by
Cogburn. How well the other men
played their positions is shown by the
fact that but two errors are charged
against the team.
The Augusta men are all college
plavers who have had a plenty of
practice since the season opened, and
who. both as individuals and as
team play first-class ball all the time.
The Savannah men knew they were
I'D against a strong team even before
the visitors arrived, but they We're too
plucky to refuse to play, and even
though beaten, made a showing that,
all circumstances considered, is by 70
means dscreditable. The locals scored
two runs in the first inning and kept
their oppents without a run for four
innings
