years and some fashy fielding, such az
made the teams Of Chance and Donovan
notable for defence. were displayed this
afternoon at the Macon ball park when
Wild Bill inaugurated his series of eH-
hibition battles between regulars and
yannigans.
Only last night the Yankee chieftain
declared that there would be no games
played until next week. but a warm sun
to-day caused him 20 change the pro
cramme and he ordered seven-inning
engagement. 50 closely did the battle
wage that tho allotted period showed
scoreless deadlock. and Bill let the two
squads fight to the bitter end. Inc
closing numerals we're 20 IN favor
OF the regulars. the game being settled
10 an eighth-inning rally.
Eight recruit pitchers, who arc ou' 20
win places on Donovan's stan. paTaded
before Wild Bill during the afternoon.
For the regulars Russell. Msrkic, t Inn
and Brady worked IN the order named,
snd for The yaunigars the order Was
Vance. Love. Blodgett and Mogrldge.
Two innings was the extent OF N.
pitching labor. except IN the case OF
Brady, who finished the game By Twill
ing three chapters.

voungster. hit one at a mie-a minute
snsed in the direction of second base
and centre field.
The ball bounded off Brady's big
form, carromed to Peckinpaugh and re-
suited in the third out Of the inning.
while Mogridge and Brown hurried
toward the plate. Brady, as an OBJ
stacle, prevented ne score and pos
sible victory for the yannigans.
The regulars managed 70 gather nine
hits during the afternoon, the coiiec-
ton including long drives for two bases
until the eighth inning were, they able
10 score. Then bad peg by George
Nogridge. incidentally the only poor
throw of the afternoon, helped Captain
Peckinpsugh's boys 20 victory.
Maisel and Gilhooley opened tins
inning with singles of Mogridge and
Lee Magee hunted safely. Mogrldge
ielded the ball well, but followed with
a low throw 10 McGovern, and the
sphere rolled along the right field foul
line, while Maisel and Gilhooley regis
tered. In the other innings the hits
were so scattered that the regulars
did not seriously threaten to score.
Russell, Markle and Finn got away
with two innings apiece without al
lowing the yannigans a hit. In me
eighth Roy Hstzell spoiled the visions
of a no-hit affair BY denting Brady's
delivery for a solid slam 20 left field.
Nogridge got the other ysnniSan MT
IN the ninth.
Vance, Love and Blodeett allowed five
scattered safeties in their six innings
Some fancy fielding by the yannigsns
helped considerably IN keeping down
the score Twice the inheld OF Cap
tain Hartzells team reeled of fast
double plays and on another occasion
a great throw 20 first By Miller paved
the way for double killing.
Aragcn, al third base for the resu,
lars, showed the effects of playing ball
all winter in Cuba by his fast fielding,
and Gilhooley turned In the circus
catch of the day when he picked drive
OF the right-feld fence with his gloved
hand Tim Hendrix was tbs victim OF
Gil's great stab.
THO exhibition game provided work
for all five catchers and every infielde-
and outfielder in camp. The fielding
was unusually sharp for this tine o.
wear. Peck and Boone made eycusable
fumbles and MOgridge broke into the
error column with his vide peg
