From the spectacular view point yes
terdays exercises at the B. B. Park
eclipsed anything that has been pulled
off there by two sets of athletes this
season.
The debate was too warm for the
sedate Mr.. Kelly. and he bolted in the
second. Incidental to the demonstra-
tons made on all sides, Savannah won
both contests. First score to 2, sec
ond score to 3.
Besides losing the games, our distin-
guished competitors from the Florida
metropolis suffered the complete ampu-
tation of Mr.. !. Curran. In the sixth
round the skipper of the Jays poured
some polluted language on Mr.. Mace,
and the arbitrator muzzled the athlete
and sent him into a cool. dry place to
forget it. No doubt the provocation to
swear was very large, as it looked as
though the locals were about to tie the
two one score. and he lost his temper
and his number at the same time.
Jays Scored in First.
Ralphy Orlando, alias Rip Van Win
kle, found great difficulty in keeping
the swerving sphere in the right alti-
tude in the first round and was pound
ed with results by the visitors. Cur
ran, first gent up, opened the ceremo-
MES with a clean single to right, going
to second on Newham's sacrifice. Burt
pulled in Ding a Ling's tall fly. Vio-
Ia did better moment later, sin
Cling by third. Curran scoring. Viola
was forced at second on Pratt's hit to
short.
After two of our men had whitfield
in the first Burt emitted a few sparks
and singled across second. Mullaney
walked and hope began to rise at home,
but quickly subsidized when Oyler skied
to Viola.
BY d.rt of much exertion our blue
athletes dragged a man across the pan
in the third. King sked to right and
TRULY walked and stole second, scoring
a moment later on Burts double to
left: Null fouled to first and Oyler
skied to centec.
Currnn Hit Ball Hard.
The visitors forged ahead again in
the fifth Rutland was thrown out
from second and Robinson walked
Suggs hit high to Oyler, who muffed
after a hard run to left. Curran hit
hard to center for two bags scoring
Robinson. Suggs was caught mapping
at first and NEWMAN was thrown out
from short.
Tt,o 5ie+rassino a ffoir IN which Nv
Curran figured cast chill upon the
entire multitude. Mullaney, first up in
the sixth, rolled slow one to Dingle
To everyone it appeared that Null was
safe by a good margin, but Curran,
who was in center. did not think so.
He raced into the diamond and ex-
postulated, engaging in much chit
chat with Mr.. Mace. What the ath-
lete said was not audible to the beau
ty and chivalry. which is just as WELL
perhaps Anyhow, the ears of Mr.
Mace turned the color of freshly boil
ed Holsters and he wig-wagged Curran
into the coop. Mr.. Chapel came forth
and played center field without lam
guage of any kind.
As said before this distressing affair
had a depressing effect on the other
pale athletes. Oyler dumped one at
Mr.. Suggs and that gent came very
near spikng himself in an endeavor to
hustle the sphere to first. He kicked
the ball towards Robby and both ath-
letes on the bases laughed.
saVidge Did the work.
The Social Favorite, completely re-
covered from his recent ennui. and
prohting much by the severe practice
at ping pong at porch parties, singled
over into Gus Ruhland's preserves,
Gus flung so hard and fast that Null
was stopped at third and Wee Willie
was crowded back to second. Miller
skied to Dingle Roth hit to short
and Null was !orced at the plate
There was much crowdiug in the
bleachers when Rip advanced with
lamrod in hand. Rips surely a pinch
hitter, and he ripped off one of those
timely singles that brought the two
tallies across the pan There was no
more scoring after that.
in the second contest General Grant
played a return engagement. opposing
Mr.. Dewey Of Allentown, Richmond
county. Maryland. Just what the re-
suits Of this contest would have been
