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

The big two ring show opened up at
the coal shute junction yesterday aft
ernoon with select young athletes rep
resenting Savannah and Charleston de-
ing the stunts in one ring and the cele-
brated Ash and Back in the other. Sa-
Vannah won by a score of to 3.
Ash and Back, tired after perform
ing between the first three acts, oc-
cupied a seat, along the ring side to
witness the final outcome of. the real
show.
On the level. the three monotony
breakers loaded into Eds wagon in
the eighth were birthday presentations,
Tom Ray and Mike Hempleman shar-
ing equally in the extension of the fav-
ors. We already had seven circles
around the quadrangle without inter-
ference when the presentation took
place. But more of this when Dads
time comes.
1t is of one Con Welch and Plymouth
rock Mullaney that the faithfuls like to
hear the cant. They directed the sew
eral acts and modelled the score that
we finally had handed to use from the
box:
OF credit to the Gulls ...............3
All we needed .......................
Locals in Bad shape.
There were many things to be count
ed to the credit of Mull's outfit Eight
hours on a boogy excursion, lasting
from the hour of midnight, the night
made hideous by the rotous effects OF
several TASKS of the celebrated blind
tiger beach fiat brand, contributes lit
tie to the nerve and strength of a ball
player after strenuous trip on the
road lasting six days. This is what
the Pathhnders were up against, and
it is a little remarkable that more of
them did not go to sleep at the switch
AS 1t was, the snappy article of ball
was especially cornmendable.
Welch was forwarded on an early
train out of the city of game chickens
and fighting statesmen, and was in
great form Say what they will about
luck and all that kind of thing being
behind this youngster, he has always
pitched a game that was winner, and
with iam-up support would have had
several more shut-outs to his credit
Yesterday he was the same steady
youngster when it came to the pinch,
and with gilt-edged support, would
have left the Gulls with only a cluster
of their own eggs.
Fans Were Afraid of ChiIds.
When it was announced that Childs
was to do the twirling for the visitors
all kinds of money was offered on the
Gulls. He has been Savannah's hoo
doc. Null called all the youngsters
to the bench and gave them a little
advice He is no tiger, boys. He
won't chaw you up. Wallop him just
like you would me if l was there with
the nerve to pitch agin you All pull
at the same time and we will have
a good nights sleep before we tackle
them again" This is how they all
got together:
No one lost heart in the first. Nit
chell twisted one to WEIGH, who smiled
like a busted bologna and tossed it
over to Null. McKernan wanted TO
make record and send one out of the
lot He tried again and again, plac-
ing put out to the credit of Holmes.
Smith swung hard at two and then
flew out to Tom Ray.
r. Kennedy has surely lost his eye
for the time. He could not locate and
famed. Oyler hit hard to second, but
McKernan knocked it down in good
fashion, and shot to first. Burt lost
his stride and famed.
Doubtful Welcome to LaROcque.
Dad was given a rather doubtful re-
ception in the second when he stepped
up for his. He got il, a clean single in
TO right field territory. Wilson hunted
to third, and Monumental Kennedy
poised and threw the ball away. Hayes
hit to Fatty Hempleman, who tossed it
to Null Wilson was caught mapping
and Null kept him guessing about
throwing the ball and finally landed
him, making a pretty double. Ashen-
back famed.
In our half we started out with the
big chief first up. He walloped the
first one over for neat single. Ray
hit to third, Null moving to second on
Smiths error, and Ray was safe on
the first sack. After Holmes had
famed ]. Kennedy walked. With the
bases full Childs lost his nerve and
served Hempleman with four wide
ones, forcing Mullaney in for the first
one. WEIGH flew out to short. r.
Kennedy hit to Childs, who threw wild
to first, and Ray scored. Oyler fouled
out to catcher, retiring the side.
The visitors did nothing in their half
of the third. With three men on bases
and one out it looked good for tally.
Childs had singled. going to second on
an error at first on Mitchell's rap. Nc
Herman moved all up with a single to
left field The infield moved in close,
and Smith hit red hot one to Hem
pleman, who knocked it down like a
streak, handed it over to Null. and Nc
Herman was caught off the second
sack.
Two More in the Third.
In our part of the third we added
two more. Burt walked, and was neat
ly sacrificed to second by Mullaney.
Ray hit hard to left field, scoring
Burt. and himself going TO third on
the throw in. He scored later, after
Hayes had caught Holmes long drive
TO center. j. Kennedy retired the side
by tanning.
There was, nothing more doing until
the sixth. After Hempleman had
scraped one up in the air right into
Lehmapfs mitt. Con Welsh sent a
stinger into center for clean single.
r. Kennedy walked. oyler few out
to third
Big Dan had two strikes called on
him before he got his eye on one OF
the fast ones. and sent IL. wham
against the left field fence for three
bags, scoring WEIGH and Kennedy
