POOR PLAYING, COPPED GAME
In One of the Poorest Exhibitions of Baseball Witnessed on
the Columbus Diamond This Season, the Combacks Cap
tured Second Game of Series By ocore of 9 to 2—Contest
Resembled Amateur Affair in a Back Yard.
Columbus.—ln one of the poorest ex
hibitions of baseball ever witnessed on
the local diamond, Augusta captured
the second game of the series from
Columbus yesterday afternoon by the
score of 9 to 2. Hawkins was rapped
for thirteen hits and his teammates
made frequent and costly errors be
hind him. Some of the Columbus
players allowed batted balls to roll
untouched between their legs.
Brouthers’ outfit took advantage of
every error and ran the bases without
any trouble whatever. The article of
ball put up by the locals resembled an
amateur contest in a back yard.
Smith, he Augusta centerfield?r,
who was batting around the 1.000 ma-k
when h left the playgrounds of the
Combacks, is at the present time bit
ting the “air.” For the past week h?
has been unable to obtain anything
but a single. Wallace, who was put
ting up this kind of a show while in
Augusta, has now developed a “hitting
mania,” out of five times at bat he
connected four times. Shaw pulled
off the same comedy also yesterday.
Breaks Even.
So far Brouthers has managed to
break even on the road: dropping two
and winning one to the Albany Ba
bies; dropping one and winning two
from the Macon Tigers .and now, last
but not least, losing the first and win
ning the second from the Columbus
Foxes. The game of this afternoon will
be the deciding one as to whether
“Babe” will return home with more
than an even break to his credit or
with lacking one game of having split
the games while on the road.
Directly after the game of this af
ternoon the Combacks will board the

BUSY SPOILSMEN
(Huston Transcript.)
Spoilsmen never cease from trying
to spoil. Their latest attempt at a
flank inarch on the classified service
1h embodied in the Moon bill, which
require* arsistant postmasters to take
competitive examinations for the re
tention of the protection they now
enjoy. Civil service reformers are
wide awake to the menace to the
merit system , involved In this meas
ure, which Is now beforif the house.
They ought to receive the support of
the business community, for what is
a postofllce without an irremovable
assistant postmaster. Ho long as post
rnuHtershlp* are political plums there
will be need of constant vigilance to
keep the assistants free from the ef
ficiency-destroying touch of spoilsmen.
An efficient assistant postmaster Is
tin- life and soul of every big post
office.
