with the Atlanta Southern League

with the Atlanta Southern League
team.
Jack Grim will line up his Blind
Tigers against the Brooklyn team next
week, and Billy Smith will send the
Highlanders against the Atlanta team,
on its return trip from Jacksonville.
Manager Boyer hopes to have the
diamond out at Bolton Street Park
perfectly smooth by the end of the
week, and will then commence the
work of putting up the bleachers. The
work on the grand stand is progressing
rapidly. The old house in right field
will not be torn down, as was at first
contemplated, but will be used as a
dressing room for the players. 1t will
be remodeled and put in presentable
shape
A fence with wire netting over it
will be run from each side of the grand
stand out to each field. so that the
players will not be crowded by specta-
tors, as has been the case in former
years.
President Boyer will leave Savannah
tomorrow night forr Jacksonville,
where he goes to be present during two
of the games between the Jays and
PowelPs Crackers. Mr.. Boyer will
probably make a trip around the cir
cult before he comes back to Savannah.
In the meantime the work on the Sa-
vannah grounds, and the trying out of
the players will go on under the super
vision of Dad LaRocque, who will ar
rive tomorrow. and Mr.. McCammon.

FINE AND IMPRISONMENT
IMPOSED ON W. E. MOORE.
Must serve Five Years in Federal
Prison at Atlanta.

Must serve Five Years in Federal
Prison at Atlanta.
For making false jurats in pension
claims w. & Moore, the Guyton colored
attorney, was yesterday sentenced by
Judge Speer to five years at hard labor
in the federal prison at Atlanta, and to
pay a fine of $500. Moore was the sec
rotary OF the Republican Congressional
Committee for the First district, and a
number of the local colored politicians
were in attendance on the court yester-
day, as well as several of the white
leaders.
When the court called for Moore to
be brought IN the cOlored attorney
walked briskly before the BAR and with
folded hands, waited until sentence had
been pronounced. Before passing SEN
tence Judge Speer asked if anything
was to be said in his behalf. Mr.. II. T..
Wilson, his attorney, stated that Moore
was a man with a wife and five chill
dren dependent upon him for support,
and that IL had not been shown that
he had perpetrated the frauds for his
own benefit.
In sentencing him Judge Speer said
he would not add to his suffering by
any Characterization of the crime of
which he had been convicted. 1t was
the opinion of the court, said Judge
Speer, that there was no doubt of his
guilt and that if such occurrences
were allowed 10 go unpublished there
would be no telling how direfu the re-
suits would be. In case of good be-
hayior Moore's term can be consider
ably shortened

THE TROOPERS OUTBOWLED
BY TEAM FROM FLORIDA
Visitors Took Three Games Out of a Series
Of Four
of Four.

The Jacksonville bowlers defeated a
team of the Georgia Hussars in a
ma ten of four games played on the al
leys of the troopers last night.
The Hussars took the first game
easily, but the visitors took the re-
manning three and the match.
At the close of the last game the Sa-
vannahians gave three cheers for the
victors, who responded in kind, and
then a committee of the Hussars es-
corted the visitors to the De Soto,
where the Floridians became the
guests of the committee at dinner. The
victors left for their home early this
morning.
The match was watched by fair
crowd, most of its members themselves
devotees of the game. Each good play
was applauded, for despite the average
small scores, there We're several eXhi-
billions of fine bowling. The local men
didn't lack rooters, but in spite of their
help they couldn't win; IL was their
off night. for the scores made were
away below their average, either In
practice games, or In the matches
that they have been taking part in all
through the season.
This is not intended TO detract. how
ever, from the clever bowling Of the
visitors who played hard and consist
entity and Increased the total OF each
successive game over that o. its pred
ecessor. The best OF good feeling pre-
vailed among the opponents, who con-
graduated each other on good plays
as often as they were made. The score
follows.

Three members of the Savannah ball
club will arrive to-day on the Mer-
chants and Miners Line from Phila-
delphia, Bill Oyler, savidge, a pitcher,
and John Welsh, outfielder.
Oyler is a brother of the Baltimore
short stop, and is said to be the fastest
in the small league business. He has
had all of the benefit of professional in
dependent teams, and comes to Sa-
vannah thoroughly seasoned.
Savidge is from Miffinville, Pa, and
was recommended to Mr.. Boyer by
Pittinger of the Boston club. Pittinger
said he considered Savidge one of the
most promising young pitchers he had
ever seen work. He is six feet tall,
weighs about 1870, and has the speed
of a cannon ball.
Welsh has played on some of the
best independent leagues in Pennsyl-
vania, and hit considerably over the
300 mark last season. AS soon as
these men arrive they will be put to
work, and as each man comes in he
viii be added to the team. 1t is Mr..
Boyer's intention to bring about eigh-
teen men, all told, to Savannah, and
from these teams will be chosen to
play against each other
The uniforms have not yet been un-
packed, but will probably be put on
exhibition in Lovelrs window to-day
Mr.. Boyer was too busy yesterday ar
ranging matters out at the park to
look after getting the suits out. The
ten dozen balls which We're donated to
each club have been sent to all of the
clubs. Savannah's lot arrived yester-
day. These balls We're given to the
teams in order to have the league
adopt the Spalding ball.
Members of the Y. NJ. G. AS team,
which will play Dad LaRocque and his
Pathfinders on April 8. are now going
out for practice daily, and expect to
give the youngsters a hard game.
In speaking of Savannah's chances
in the league race, Mr.. Charles Nc
Cannon, who is half owner with Mr..
Boyer, said yesterday, that he did not
fear all the talk that Con. Strouthers
was putting up about his Augusta
team, but that the teams he most fear
ed were Ed. Ashenbaok's Dreamers,
and Kelly's Jays. Ashenback and
| Kelly have been keeping quiet and
saving wood, and their teams are all
ready getting together. Jacksonville
will play her first game tomorrow

~ put his man ont in the eighth round
with a short arm punch 70 the neck.
and a swinging left on the body.
Though il was Bl0ods battle from
the first tap OF the gong. i was not
without exciting features from the very
fact that The wonderful power OF the
local champion in his punches sent
Ferguson TO the canvas for the count
time and again. and il was not until
the merciful seconds Of Ferguson threw
& towel into the ring, which is the
professional wig-wag to announce that
the man from that corner has enough,
that the punishment was stopped.
Blood left the ring without scratch
and each round came up as fast and
lively as at the first tap of the gong.
Those who have watched him closely
since he has been appearing in the
ring Of the Savannah Athletic Club
believe that Blood has in him the
making of a champion, with proper
handling.
Taken by rounds, the fight was one
series of knockdowns for Blood. In
the first he was little wary, but soon
landed one of his left uppercuts,, that
put Ferguson to the bad. The latter
then led out for a series of low swipes
that fell short, and in one of his
swings he threw himself to the floor.
Ferguson was evidently out of condi-
ton, and had no steam behind his
punches. He was holding all the way
through after the second round.
The agreement was that the go
should be according to the modified
rules, contestants breaking at the call
of the referee, with no hghtlng after
the word had been given. Ferguson
dis0beyed these rules, and would have
had a decision against him in the sec
ond round had it not been for the
fact that the crowd yelled to let them
fight, that they did not want the go
stopped on foul.
The preliminary was won in the
fifth round by Yamacraw Jim from
Young Albert. These men were both
anxious to lay down after they had
been fighting three rounds. The
rounds were extended to four minutes
each, and both We're looking longingly
towards the timekeeper before the gong
sounded.
Blood will rest two weeks, when he
will again defend the welterweight
championship of the South against
Cape Town Joe, who is at present at
St. Augustine, where he has engaged
in a number of bouts recently. This
will perhaps be the best show seen in
Savannah yet. Cape Town is already
known here, where he has fought on
number of occasions, winning from
Blood in their last bout several months
ago Blood says he is willing to fight
Joe, winner take all, and 1t is possible
that an agreement of this kind will be
made before the bout is pulled off.

HEARD CASES REGARDING

One Case Settled and Other Will BE
Concluded To-day.

One Case Settled and Other VIII Be
Concluded To-day.
In the United States court yesterday
the case of Ida ]. Graves and Minnie
G. Graves against James Holmes and
Bolin G. Hall, arising from a dispute
regarding titles to land in Colquitt
county were heard and decision rem
dered by Judge Speer. The case re-
lated to three lots, on which the de-
PENDANTS We're alleged to have boxed
the timber, extracted turpentine, and
committed trespasses.
The several deeds which had been
adduced as clouding the titles to the
land were cancelled and the defend
ant enjoined from further boxing the
timber tapping the trees for turpen-
tine, or trespassing upon the lands.
The costs were placed upon the de-
PENDANTS.
By an agreement, reached after the
trial between the parties to the suit,
no appeal is to be taken and in con-
sideration of this Holmes will be al
lowed to keep the turpentine that he
has taken and the timber that has al
ready been removed. The complain
ants further agree to allow the $40 de-
posit made by them to go upon the
costs in the case.
Immediately upon the conclusion of
this case that of Jennie l.. Graves and
others against II. T. Crawford, and
others, was taken up. This case also
involves land in Colquitt county. Mr..
Galloway, in speaking for the plain
tiffs, charged that a state of practical
anarchy existed in Colquitt county,
and further claimed that the grossest
frauds were being perpetrated in that
county. Mr.. Galloway spoke for al
most an hour and then court adjourn
ed. He will speak an hour longer this
morning, after which three hours will
he allowed the other side. This case
will consume practically the entire
time of the court to-day
