The Nashville Collegians defeated
the Standard Furniture Line Monday,
Is to 5. The boys from East Nash
vile were outclassed and badly beaten.
For the first four innings hey played
faultless ball, but after that they went
up in the air and when they came
down the ~Collegians had romped
across the pan with 8 runs and sewed
up the game. The feature of the game
was the pitching of Watkins. This
young man had the boys from across
the Cumberland feeding from his hand
and up to the seventh inning had
pitched a splendid game, having good
control, a plenty of speed and a nice
curve to the ball, which made it very
hard to find. Seeing that the game
was won, he slowed down a bit and
gave up some hits and a few runs.
The Birmingham Giants defeated the
Nashville Collegians Tuesday to the
tune of s to 2. The game was filled
with long hits and daring base run
ing, in which the Birmingham boys
starred. The Collegians played good
ball with the exception of one inning.
when an error on first coupled with
two bunts and a long drive to left

game. =

land is an old Nashvillian and it is

with him the best set of ball tossers
in the game. With the team come
the renowned RUDE Foster, Gatewood
and Booker. '"These men," says Nc
GTaw, could make good with any big
league team in the world" The Chi
cago Leland Giants play here Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday at Athletic
Park. Manager John White, of the
Standard Giants said his boys would
be in first-class condition and would
give the champions a close game.
This is the first time the Leland
Giants have ever visited Nashville and
a good crowd should turn out to see
them. =
Jack Johnson could not have won
anything by putting Jack O'Brien out,
SO what was the use? There were
many experts at the game, no
doubt, he did not wish to give out
anything, and yet O'Brien was forced
to his knees a number of times to
save himself. Johnson did not seem
to take things serious and said after
the fight he thought he had the bet
ter of the mill.
