Double barrel contests were never in
tended to be played through without
some enlivening feature such as that
witnessed at the Baseball Park during
the bargain counter engagement yes
terday. incidentally both baseball
games were won by Savannah, but the
oratorical contest has not yet been
decided. The first score was to 2 and
the second 4 to l.
As forecasted. in the event Savan-
nah won, the world is put on notice
through a protest, that Macon does not
believe the first game was won fairly.
Master Perry Lipe, acting field skip
per. by an indenture, made that same
sunny afternoon, calls to the notice of
the officials of the league, that by vir-
tue of the fact that the decision which
gave Savannah the winning run, was
made by a left-handed umpire, he We
hemently as much so as possible in
parliamentary verbage, protests the
contest.
The winning run was made by Mr.
Pee Wee King, who made a strenuous
passage around the quadrangle with
intermittent stops to allow the oppos-
ing athletes an opportunity to pound
on his small frame. This all occurred
in that exciting ninth round, when the
score was tied in Gordian knot. With
two men out Pee Wee was passed to
first.
When he went the overland route to
second Harnsh threw a high ball and
then a fit. Sentell went after the high
ball; there was a slip betwixt and he
did the can can on Pee Wees initial
plate while Chandler steered up to
the elusive sphere and dared the dar-
ing young athlete to navigate further.
Held Little King Fast.
It was the most palpable case of
hold up, or hold down. seen here this
season, and long before Pee Wee had
annexed the hit and run sign from
TRULY, who was at the bat. the crowd
was simmering with anger, which fam
ed up shortly afterwards. The hit
and run sign failed, TRULY missing the
ball. Harnish made d perfect throw
to third, which Lipe stabbed at Wild
~, but missed.
In the excitement of recovering the
ball he grasped the first moving thing
his eye clapped on, which was King
Then there was a pretty exhibition of
the catch-as-catch-can with the larger
Lipe having much the better of the
argument. He struggled with King
he linz ID
nan Sentell grasped the lost weapon
of death and tagged Pee Wee full in
the back.
The Wild West performances were
tame affairs to the wild dash of the
bleacherites across the diamond So
lar this season not a single demon
stration has been made on the part
of the crowd. but the work of both
Llpe and Sentell was so palpable that
fair minded men forgot themselves and
swarmed around Macon players, who
were inclined to protest a decision Civ
ing King his base. But there was no
chance for argument on the decision,
and the run scored and Savannah was
the winner.
A Thrilling Contest.
In the first event there were large
and numerous eXcitements. Aside from
the sensational climax in the ninth
round all Of the young gentlemen in
blue. as well as those in gray trifed,
much with the sphere.
The Highlanders put up an exhibit
non mat leaves no doubt as to the ap-
propriateness Of their soubriquette.
They were up in the clouds so high
that they only dipped to the mountain
stops on rare occasions, and at the
wind up six glaring misplays. with
nearly as many exhibitions of poor
base running and dumb acts were
against them.
Two Hits, Errors and no Runs.
In the first inning two hits and an
error did not afford a run TO the Wis
itors. There was a slight misunder-
standing OF the direction to take on
the part OF some of the moist athletes
attempting TO score and they failed in
their endeavors.
Lipe made an unsuccessful attempt

gle by Oyler. but was thrown out at
one. Chandler shot through Trubv's
shoes and stocks and landed at second
