Y. NJ. c. A. Now Leads League, With
c. L. AS Second and Chathams
Third.
In the cleverest game of baseball that
has been played in Savannah this sea-
son, the Y. NJ. c. A. team yesterday
defeated the Chatham Artillery team 3
to o. Try as they would the Chathams
couldn't get a man nearer home than
third and only two got that far.
Both the pitching and the fielding
was all that could be expected or de-
sired. But three hits were made OF
Elton and four hits and two-bagger
off Barrett. Each of the pitchers al
lowed but one base on balls. How clean
the helding was is shown by the fact
that there were only four errors on
each side Though the pitching was
exceptionally good on both sides Elton
carried off the honors, striking out tif-
teen men, allowing but one base On
balls, and playing an errorless game.
EIton,s Clever Work.
Elton started his clever work in the
first inning by striking out the first
three men up. For the Y. NJ. c. A.
Blake, the first batter put the ball safe
out of the reach of second: Peek got
to first on balls, but Mcconnell went
out on a fly to Schreck, Logan struck
out and w. Elton went out on fly to
center field. In the second inning but
four men on each side faced the
pitcher, and so, with little variation,
the game continued inning after in
ming till the sixth, when the Y NJ. G.
A. managed to score all of its runs,
and all of the runs scored in the game.
In the beginning of this inning it
looked as though the Chathams would
certainly land a run Barrett the first
man up went out on a fly that Blake
caught after a hard run; Sullivan hit
safe past second, and on a bad throw
TO first, stole second, and stretched it
10 third. Wilkinson struck out and
Sullivan, in an effort to make the plate,
was caught between third and home.
For the Y NJ. c. A. Blake got to
first because hit by a pitched ball.
stole second and went to third on a
wild pitch; Peek hit past
Schreck and Blake scpEed: Nc
Peek scored. Logan struck out; w.
Elton put a fly to left which Kelly
muffed; Stark hit to short and Elton
was out at second base, Mcconnell
scoring on the play. The side was re-
tired by Brewers fly out to left. The
players pulled themselves together af-
ter this inning and played so clever
a game that neither side could get an
other run.
Plenty of Good PIayihg.
The game abounded with clever
plays. Kelly in left and w. Sullivan
at second did the best work for the
Chathams, while for the Y. NJ C. A.
the best work was done, so far as
fielding goes, by Blake and Brewer
The last named man making an ex-
ceptionally difficult catch of a foul fly
from Wilkinson's bat in the ninth in
ming. w. Elton was the only man on
either team that got a two-bagger, and

equality of the ground
He hit fly to left field near the foul
line and Kelly started for it, but see
ing that he could barely get to it, de-
cided to take it on the bounce and
catch the runner at second in case he
should try to make that base. The ball
struck some obstacle, however, and
bounced out of a direct line getting
away from the fielder so that Elton
managed to get second base.
The good work of the batteries was
not confined to the pitchers for both
Stark and Wilkinson caught a good
game, and threw we'll to second, where
more than one runner was caught in
trying to steal that base. Taking it all
in all, it was an exceedingly pretty eX-
hibition of ball playing and one that
will be hard to equal. DR.. Craig Bar
row was umpire. The attendance was
very good, decided improvement on
that of former games.

Y. NJ. c. A, games won, ?; games lost,
