THE LINEUP.

The horseshoe victory won from the
Yannigans by the Regulars yesterday
afternoon in the final trial before to-
days game, in which the Phillies will
divide against each other and stake
their all, did not have any bearing on
the betting offered freely around the
Pulaski last night, when the boys had
been rubbed down and were cooling
out preparatory for to-day's struggle.
The Phillies were easily beaten UP to
the last inning, when an error by Ora
ham at third and a slow throw home,
a scratch slow one down to third let
them have two runs that gave them
the winning score, which finally stood
at to 4.
Nearly 1000 people sat through the
entire nine innings and watched the
snappiest game of ball played on a
local diamond since the days when
Jimmy Manning had his $4,000 colts
here. There were d number of fair
fans in the grand stand and at crit
ical moments they were among those
who cheered the Colts along.
ne CIOWu was ulldOuDl6Q1Y With tH-
Yannigans, and when the score stood
to 2. in their favor, the applause was
as tumultuous as if it were an all
Savannah team taking the scalps of a
Charleston team. Chick Fraser, who
was playing one of the outer gardens
for the Yannigans, thumped the ball
about like a Lahoie, and Rafferty, also
got two nice singles that set the bleach
ers shouting with glee. Graham used
the same variety of lobs and kept the
Regulars in the outskirts continually
on the go.
The Score Was Tied.
But hard as the Yannigans could hit
they could make but little Roadway I'M
til the fourth inning. when a single,
a double and a passed ball gave them
their first score, and soon another
youngster was sent hurtling around
the bases, making nose finish with
the ball at the pan. This tied the
score, and two more tallies in the
seventh set the spectators wild. 1t was
in the last half of the ninth that the
Phillies shook themselves up.
Titus sent short fly to Doom and
died easily. Gleason fouled out. Huls-
witt walked, and went to second on
Thomas single With two men out,
and two on bases, the men were all
on their toes like repertoire players
during a climax. Marshall hit a slow
one to Graham, who fumbled and made
a bad throw home, Hulswitt scoring.
With two men on bases, and every
body on tiptoes, Wolverton reached for
a deep out, caught it on the polar
region and sent it spinning between
short and third, scoring Thomas and
Marshall. Score, 5 to 4, favor Regu-
lars.
Pitchers Were Resting.
Breckenridge, one of Duffy's most
promising youngsters, did the twirling
for the Yannigans, and beyond a lit
tie stage fright was remarkably steady.
Tom Barry was in for the regulars,
and it was largely due to his clever
work that the Colts We're not the vic
tors.
The game this afternoon will be the
farewell contest of the Phillies before
they meet the Athletics at Athletic
Park, Philadelphia, on April 2, and
as the time has now come for the
wedding out, the men will all be on tip
toe, for Manager Duffy has already
cast his eye over the bunch to see if
there are not changes which he can
make to strengthen the team.
The game will be called promptly
at o'clock, and Mr.. Bert Crowhurst
will umpire. Tickets will be found on
sale at Livingston's Pharmacy, and
those who desire to avoid the rush
should secure them before going to the
grounds.
