OTHER AMATEUR COMMENT
BY c. w. SWAN.

Savannah Club of the South Atlantic
League, is slated for another trial IN
the big show This was made known by
dispatch from the Southern City last
night.
Since Joining the Savannah Club, Al
has been hitting the ball hard and
timely, and his fielding has been the
sensation of the circuit
Last fall Al had a short trial with
the Yankees. but failed to hit up to
big league standard. with the result
that he was released. Harry Dodd, the
secretary of the Savannah Club, signed
Al early this spring, and the local boy
has been going like a house afire ever
since.
Just what club will secure Handiboe
is not known, but 1t Is understood that
National and American League team
have bid for him for delivery after the
close of the Sally circuit season.
The washington Herald club will
tackle the Park team to-day in the
Northern Association, and battle
| ROYAL Is promised. Eddie Thompson,
the star hurler of the circuit, will work
for the Newsies, while either Bernie
Gallagher or Dick Gordon Will shoot
them over for Manager Millers boys.
should the Parkites meet defeat, the
race will be even more close, as the
first four clubs are punched around the
top Of the ladder.
Row Evans was signed by Manager
Bell of the Herald club yesterday, and
will face the Park club to-day.
In the Sunday School League to-day,
the Nativity club will hook up with the
Ingram aggregation, in what Is ex-
pected to be the deciding game for the
pennant. Eberwein will oppose Fin
ny" Kelly on the mound, and a pitch
ers' battle should result.
Kelly and the Maps are confident of
victory. as they have lost but one game
TO the Ingramites this season, and with
a little hitting, figure that the game Will
be easy picking, while on the other
hand the Ingram team is full OF pep"
and predict a win. This game will be
hard fought from the start. as the
keenest rivalry exists between the
clubs.
Amateur Day. will be celebrated Sat
urday, and 1t is expected that this page
ant will be a monster one. No less than
thirty-five teams are assured, while II
has been announced that forty clubs Will
be in the parade.
Manager Griffith still has the 500 in
prize money ready, and the pageant Will
come OF as prescribed. unless 1t rains
and Chairman King is sitting up nights
watching the weather reports.
Charley King deserves the greatest OF
praise fer his interest in the Amateur
Day movement. 1t was him who start
ed the entire matter. and 1t was him
who. did the most work. When the pa
rade is over, and the prizes awarded,
the commission should vote Charley
King a medal of honor, for he has
worked night ard day to make ANA
teur Day" a success.
Monk Walter has gone but one game
without getting a hit with the Norfolk
club, of the Virginia League, since join
ing the team. In the first game. Monk
failed to connect, but since then he has
slammed out at least one bingle bat
tie, and is also doing little speeding
on the bases. The Norfolk papers speak
he has made good.
