LAROCQUE BUYS
THREE NEW MEN
NEW LIFE FOR PATHFINDERS
PITCHER, CATCHER AND OUT.
FIELDER LANDED YESTERDAY.

New Men VIII Report To-day or To-
mOrrOVv-AII Three Come Highly
Recommended by Manager Ather-
ton, of the Montreal Club, Which
is Now Practicing ut Richmond.
Good Price Paid for Pitcher Sech-
rIst, Who Has IN Excellent Repu-
tation in Fast Company.
Owner Boyer of the Savannah club
landed three new players yesterday,
accepting the terms of Manager Ath-
erton of the Montreal club for their
release.
The Montreal club is practicing at
Richmond with twenty-five men on it's
list, and as soon as he heard of the
excellent showing that was being made
by these men, whom he had heard OF
before, Manager LaRocque got in com
municatioa with Manager Anterior
and negotiated terms for their release
to the Savannah club, with the result
that they were finally landed yester-
day.
The men who were signed are
Pitcher Sechrist, Outfielder Coughlin
and Catcher Kinsky. All three have
been playing professional ball for the
last three years, and Sechrist has
made quite a reputation in fast COM
pany. A good price was paid for him
by Owner Boyer, and he is a man of
long experience. 1t is expected that
he will add much strength to the
Pathfnders.
, Coughlin has been playing with
clubs of the Eastern League for the
last two years. He hit above 800 last
year, and is credited with being one
of the fastest of the younger field
ers. His batting will add much
strength to the smuggling end of the
club. ID.
Catcher Kinsky played independent
ball up to last year, when he went
into fast company and made good
He was sick the later part of last
season and did very little work. He
is also great hitter.
Although these men are expected to
add great strength to the Pathfinders
for the opening of the season., Man
ager LaRocque said last night it did
not mean that they would be carried
the season, unless they made good.
Neither does it mean that any of the
men already on hand are to be dis
placed for them, unless they fail to
make as good showing as the new ar
rivals.
The new finds are expected to reach
Savannah to-day, though they may de-
fer their departure from Richmond
several days. Transportation W. wir-
ed them yesterday at noon, and re-
turn message to Mr. Boyer last night
bore the information that the tickets
had been taken up at Richmond.
Manager Atherton recommended all
three men very highly and said that
it was only the large number of men
that he was carrying that pursuaded
him to give these three up at this time
With their arrival there will be eigh-
teen men on hand, and two exhibition
games will be played next week be-
tween the Regulars and the Yannigans
one on Tuesday and one on Thursday
The game on next Saturday will be
reserved for the Y. NJ. C. AS.

VISITORS TOOK
CHAMPIONSHIP
FROM THE LOCAL Y. M. C. A..
BY WINNING HOTLY CONTESTED
GAME OF BASKETBALL,

Score Was, Charleston 80; Savannah
25-Game Was Pretty Lively at
Times and Referee Was Forced to
Call Many FOuIs-CharIestOn Won
Through the Superior Throwing
of Its Men-Teams Cheered Each
other at Close of Commentators
Left for Home Early This Morn
ing.
In fast and "scrappy" game of
basketball played at the Y. M. c. A.
last night the team of the Charleston
Y. M. c. A. defeated the Savannah
team by the score of SO to 25, winning
the championship of Georgia and
South Carolina for the present season.
1t is pretty hard to say just how
the result was accomplished, for the
Savannahians played with all the snap
and vigor that always characterize
their games, though the local boys
failed to throw as accurately as the
visitors.
There was an unusual amount of
fouling on both sides, but the proper
ton of goals thrown from the foul
line was not nearly so great as it was
in the former game between these
teams in this city.
The calling of fouls was excusable,
too, for at times the game was pretty
rough, and at one time, after a par
ticularly lively scrimmage, time was
called while the captains of the teams
held lengthy argument with the ref
cree.
The lineup of the teams was:
Charleston. Savannah.
Thomas NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. Savarese
Metz OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. Murphy
Marshall Observation-Disclosures. Doty
smith ...................... Artley
The Savannah players were disap-
pointed in not seeing among the Wis
itors one OF the former members of
the team, Murdoch Henery, who is
one of the best players of the team.
They learned that it had been impos-
sible for him to make the trip be-
cause of a very peculiar accident
While in a dentists's chair he acct
dentally swallowed a small hammer,
with which work was being done, and
since that time his condition has given
his friends much cause for uneasi-
ness. +,
A fairly large crowd saw the game,
but many of those present would have
enjoyed it more had they understood
it better. Many of them did not know
that a goal from the field counts two
points, while one from the foul line
counts but one, and they were thus
unable to keep record of the game.
Again some were disposed to criticize
the referee for the too frequent use
of the whistle calling fouls, whereas
it was absolutely necessary under the
rules of the game and the circum-
stances of the play.
At the close of the game the teams
each gave three cheers for the other.
The visitors returned home early this
morning.

Decided to Establish a Bureau of
Inspection.

Triton, Ga, April 15.-At it's VAL
dosta meeting, the Georgia Interstate
Sawmill Association decided to create
bureau of inspection and to carry
out the plan appointed committee
of eight, with Secretary Harrell at the
head.
1t is probable that a chief inspector
will be located at the principal sea-
ports, Savannah, Brunswick Jackson
willie and Fernandina. with a corps
of competent assistants, and that these
will have charge of the inspection of
all lumber shipments for coastwise
trade. This will necessitate the en-
ployment of twenty-five or thirty men,
and this inspection will be final, set
Ting all differences between buyer and
seller.
Mr.. ]. w. Oglesby of Quitman in
vited the association to hold it's next
meeting in that city, where he will
entertain the members. At that meet
ing officers for the ensuing year will
be elected, it being the fourth an

PATHFINDERS PLAY STRENGTHENED
YIN. c. A. TEAM THIS AFTERNOON
GAME WILL BE THE HARDEST THE
COLTS HAVE HAD YET.
WEIGH AND WELSH
WILL OPPOSE HARMON.
WITH BUTLER AND BALLANTYNE
YELLOW LEGS LOOK STRONG.

Team VIII BE Greatly strengthened,
Both in the Field and Mt the Bat.
Many Local Fans Believe That Dad
VIII Not Be Able to Defeat the LO-
cnIs-Dnd Says He viii Make a
Hun Away Game of IL Unless the
Y. NJ. c. A. Boys Play in the Re
marknbIe Luck They Did Last SAT-
urday Afternoon.
Probably the strongest line up that
the Pathhnders have yet faced will
be that of the Y. NJ. c. A. team which
they will play at the Bolton Street
Park this afternoon at 4 O'Clock. and
there are many fans who believe that
LaRocque will have the fight of his
life II he wins.
With Harmon pitching in much bet
ter shape than he was last Saturday,
Jim Ballantyne to steady him down be-
hind the bat, Jimmy McIntire on first,
Gallagher on second, Savarese at short,
Butler at third and a strong outfield
the game should be a corker.
The line up of the Pathfinders will
be Welsh and WEIGH pitchers; Hopkins,
catch; LaRocque, first base; Bratton,
second base; Eggert, short stop; Oyler,
third base; Burt, left field; Ray, center
field and Jutzi. right field.
Neither Savidge nor Ittig are in
shape TO do any of the box work to-
day. Savidge has been selected to UNI
pire the game, and Ittig will look on
from the bench.
Y. NJ. g. A. Strong at the bat.
With the addition of Butler BALKAN
tyne, Gallagher and Wagnon in their
batting order, the Y. NJ. C. A. boys
should show up strong at the bat. All
of the other members of the original
team are hitting we'll this year, and
it is safe to say that the Pathfinders'
twilers will have to work hard to win
their game.
The batting order of the Pathfinders
will be the same that ii was last
Saturday. Dad simply smiles when
any one suggests that he will be de-
feated to-day, and murmurs some
thing about the luck the locals have
been playing in.
Thursdays game with the All-Savan-
nah team convinced the fans that the
FatnnnderS are rapidly getting their
eye on the ball. With the wind full
in their faces they sent a number OF
hard ones into the outer gardens that
would have gone much farther.
The game will be called at 4 o'clock
The new boxes that have been under
construction down the right field line
will be finished in time for the game
and will be reserved for those who de-
sire them.
So far no exhibition games have beer
ARRANGED for next week, though Man
ager LaRocque is corresponding with
the Brunswick team for a series. The
Pilots are unusually strong this year
and have their same battery, COM
posed of Walker and Bowen.
