WHERE THEY PLAY TO-DAY.
Augusta at Savannah.
Charleston at Macon.
Jacksonville at Columbia

Twelve travel strained, but wide
awake Pathtinders, headed by Shor-
~ Mullaney, celebrated their first
triumphant return yesterday
If was fated that the heart breaker
should come on the last day of the trip
abroad. but the effects of that memoir
a ole disaster up near the Central Rail-
way water tank was Offset in the think
tanks OF the Mullets by the happy
recollections of glories on other fields.
As soon as the boys had breakfasted,
they were besieged by a host of fans,
anxious to hear how it all happened on
the very last day when the top rung
seemed to be right in reach. Null adj
mitted that he chinned the bar twice
and then his strength failed.
Sunny Jim wore crepe on his hat,
and when asked How about it," he
melancholy pointed to the scrap repre-
senting his pennant aspirations. Jim
lust could not put the ball over the
pan and when he tossed a straight one
over the elated Highlanders would lose
No Man to Substitute.

making a change in the third was that
there was not a man available. Saw

had mora than his share of work.
Everytime a pitcher would get a lit
tie weak Con would be showed in to
stop the run getting, and Mullaney SAID

ster stale before the season was fairly
started. Ittig has been particularly un-
fortunate. He has only pitched one
game to a finish since the season OPEN
ed, and Null said he thought it best
after it was evident the game was
lost, to let him go on through.
Team Is Working Nicely.
The tour just completed will per-
haps be a record-breaker during the
season. Savannah left home in fourth
place, and returned in second. This
would be well enough if all the games
had been played on home grounds.
Mullaney says the team is just now
settling to steady work. Everybody is
hitting the ball hard, and pitchers av-
erages will suffer whenever they go up
against the Pathfinders.
We have seen Ashenback, Grim, KEEL
ly and Smith. To-day the fans will
nave an opportunity OL seeing inc
shrewdest baseball man in the BUSH
ness and one who will yet make it
troublesome for the rest of the clubs,
DR.. Conway Strouthers. Con has a
suit for every hour in the day and
manners to match. He can adapt him
self to all stations and conditions. and
when he is so inclined he can discount
any of the champion wind TANNERS in
the profession. He is business from
the tap of the gong, and will yet make
Augusta one of the best paying cities
in the league. -.
Augusta Team Now.
The Augusta team is made up of
some of the best men now playing ball
in the South, but there are several ia
tally weak places. Busy, TRULY,
Spratt, Roth and Clarke have all
served their time in the Southern
League with credit. Thornton, at short,
is a coming star, and Silver Durham,
who will probably pitch the opening
game here, is a pitcher of much merit
as well as reputation
The game will be called this after
noon al o'clock instead of 4:30. This
will be the hour for the commencement
Of hostilities throughout the rest of
the season. a. "a
The line up to-day will be as follows
