ATHENS, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, MAY 25, 1895. THE GAM$ SATURDAY. GEORGIA, 12; SKWAXKK, 2. It required a lot of base lrnll enthusi asm to pull one's self from beneath a warm quilt, and Grave the cold shower hath which only waited for Col. f'har- honnier's fair weather Hat; to turn the weather stop cock a^yf let the water fall— to brave all that just to leave on the ear ly train. A goodly number found that enthusiasm wanting. At li o’clock the clouds adjourned to the pacific slop. About a hundred students pulled out on the late(9 a. m.) train. Kemp.

No wounds. Refusing to lie draped in colors, and led “like a dog.” A now mascot was secured. This one cheerfully submit ted to de draped, to have stripes of red paint wound around his ebon calves. they were half-confident of victory, even playing a game with a college ranking higher athletically than any they had pre viously met on the diamond. The con fusing reports of the Sewanee team did not make Georgia plungers shy, and stakes were floating around everywhere and generally hooked. Tlie team left their room at 4 p. m., and the car which brought them to the grounds was packed on the seats and fringed with half a hundred rooters. The victory of Saturday was the most iv ichcs :ird on a passed hull and scores important ever won by Georgia nine or eleven. Except Davis, Hall and Spain, the team and most of the constituents from Athens returned here on the vestibule Saturday evening. Prof. Morris, Dr. llorty and Dr. Camp- hell represented the faculty at, the game. TIIK GAME IN DETAIL. The Sewanees trotted into the field first.

As Lovejoy got no chances in tlie game, the disadvantage of the sun did not cut any ice. The throw ing of our infielders particularly caught the applause of the crowd. Sewanee s practice immediately pro ceeded the game, and was very fair, es pecially, the Left fielder’s clean running winging of flics. Seldon twirled a curve over the stone slab exactly at 4:;ii», Athens time. At this time the crowd *was pour- ling all along the long plank walk from the gate to the bleachers, everybody brilliant with red and Mack.
