Murdoch's bunch ot Peaches drop
ped two juicy games into Augusta’s
lap Friday afternoon. Both went to
the Tourists by the close scare of 1
to 0.
The whole show of the first affair
was that Merry Widow Beckle,, the
man who has twirled in his turn al
most the entire season and up to yes
terday had failed to put a single game
to the credit of the Tourists. He was
there from the start and deserved to
win. Only one time did the swatting
Elbertas manage to lind him for a
safety. His control was good, and
the plate was never endangered
through his fault, although errors be
hind him, gave the Peaches a bunch
of nice chances to tie up the score.
Sam Weens was on the slab dur
ing both games for Macon. His work
was in bang up style, but just a shade
behind that of Beckle. The second
gani e was called by agreement of the
managers at the end of the seventh
inning.
The feature of the double affair was
the pla' ing of Coles. The second con
test he won by a long three-bagger
£.n which he 'scored the only run of
the game. In the first he prevented
a score by roping in Lewis' long line
drive, which would have been good
for three sacks on any field.
Hclnie Busch played the game in
both affairs. Th P little manager was
anywhere the pellet happened to be.
Always alert and on the Jump he ac
cepted a number of difficult chances.
Jack Mullin covered the central gar
den in his usual At style.
Jack Robinson did the receiving of
both contests for Macon. In the first
he didn't allow a singl ■ steal, al
though several of the swiftest gave
him a chance to try his arm.
The Tourists counted the only run
of both games in the second roun.
Here’s how it happened in the first.
Coles, first up, singled to left, liar
nish dropped a neat sacrifice down
the first base line and Cad was up a
peg. Heinie hit a hard one to Weems,
was nailed at first, but advanced
Coles to third.
Ilornhorst drew a pass./ Then .lack
Mullin hit to Wohlenben. The big
first sucker fielded the hall, but could
not get it to first in time to catch
Jack. Coles came in. That was all
needed for that game. In the ninth.
Hie game was almost dropped through
Bierman's error. The short hobbled
on Murdoch's grounded. Lewis essay
ed to sacrifice, but dropped a pop to
Beckle. Murdoch, seeing that lu,
couldn't make second on a sacrifice,
swiped it. As Shea fanned, things be
gan to look blue for Murdoch, so he
swiped the third cushion. Wohlen
ben looked dangerous, so Beckle pass
ed him up. Rhoton, Macon's leading
slugger, cracked to Bierman, and the
Dutchman handled the grounder in
pretty jttyle. Beckle dropped the
ground and thanked the Presiding
Genius of Baseball for letting him win
one game for the Tourists
The second was won in the follow
ing manner. Weems looked easy to
Coles He opened the second by bif
fing a blngle to deep left center, nil
which he circled three cushions with
ease. Leving was looking for the
Squeeze. He ran up to catch th< bunt,
and as he did Thomas Carson drop
ped a little bingle through short and
third. Coles again trotted home, and
Heinie practically had two games to
the credit of his bunch.
Reagan got In several ticklish
places, but always managed to pull
llmself out before serious damage
wms done.

Charleston /
CHARLESTON, S. C.—Both clubs
made a run in the first inning Tues
day and the score was then tied un
til the ninth, despite the fact that
Slace clearly outpitched McCarthy. In
the ninth a base on balls, an error
and an infield out, followed by a
single, gave Columbia the winning
run. The game was listlessly played
by both clubs. Ball’s throw from

SPORTI TO RIALS
At the present, the Tourists have the best balanced and the host
team, they have had during the season. The statement sounds Incon
sistent with the standing of the club at the present and the fact that
at the first of the season the hunch played around the top, but it's true
just the same.
The change of management and the change of a few pi avers has
done wonders. Busch has infused more ginger and snap in the tribe
than was ever shown under Dexter regime. The only thing missed is
the slugging of former manager Dexter, but in the fielding line he was
never better than the recent addition, bought from the Carolina
bushes.
The club taken as a whole bar improve twenty per cent over the
work a month ago. The ValdoH-M cMahon deal helped. The pitching
staff is better than it ua* ever been. Kahrs bids fair to be a star. Reag
an's head work will prevent any club from piling tip a big -.core and
if the bunch can hit behind him. he will always win the majority of his
games. There is a woiflerfui improvement in the work of Co aa and
McLauren. Multtn, while off in the stick line, gets any thing that Is
blown toward the central garden. When he gets on base, it is hard to
find a better sack pilferer.
According to the New Orleans papers, Charley Frank has decided
to give Dexter u trial as a pitch or. The mogul has watched him warm
ing up and believes that h, can deliver the goods. The former Augusta
mogul is doing tairly well on the first sack, but Mose Baxter is about to
s“nd him back again. The Mose has picke'd eonsterably In every line,
during the past month and is well liked by the New Orleans fans, if
he does get the regular job over Charley its the consensus of opinion
of the Sally' fans, that Frank must have a star holding down his Initial
sack.
The Tourists are in Ihc fast place by one point only. The Poaches
are making a desperate bid for the honorable place, and they will cer
tainly have it if Rick Kahrs can turn the trick this afternoon. The Au
gusta boy Is in good shape ami will give them a run for the money.
Kahrs is the big drawing canl of the club at present, and the chances
are that there will be a record breaking crowd out to see him work
The crowd wouldn't havo to be so very large to break the season's
record, anyway.
With the manager in the hospital and a fielder in irons, or rath
er out on bond but not in the game, the (thicks seem to be doing ex
ceptionally good work. Two close games from the (lulls, who have been
climbing at pretty steady rate, during the past few weeks.
George Winters, Atlanta’s veteran out-fielder, dislocated his shoo'd
cr in yesterday's game in Atlanta and will to out of the game for some
time it is feared. Winters has played witli Atlanta since the Southern
was re-orginized, and is really a land mark. He never gets to old too
swat the pill and is at present the leading batsman of the club. His
loose will seriously Inconvenience the Champs.
Everybody was glad to see Beckle win his game. It is the first
game he has won for the Tourists since joining the club, over two
months ago and he has been pitched regularly. He Just couldn't win
He has lost five games by close, scores when the club didn't make a
run behind. He has pitched well In all except one or two, and deserv
ed to get the majority. He seemed to work under a veritable hoodoo.
Now that it is broken th.ero Is a chance that he will pick up and win a
game occasionally. One blngle was Ihe best Macon could do with hia
delivery. He walked several men, hut steadied down at the crucial mo
ment.

SWIFT ITCHES Ii
TENNISJOURNEf
Orr, of Atlanta, Defeated
Gai'y in Hard Fought
Contest. Dawson Defeat
ed By Bridges, of Car
olina. Inci'eased Attend
ance Marks Second Day.
One more round of Ihe tennis tour
nament has been pulled off. and the
contest t>as narrowed down to a lit
tle less fhan hull' the number of en
tries who played yesterday. 11 is now
a survival of the fittest. The pace
grows fasU'r each day. quite natural
ly, as the weaker mon give way to
the strong, and in every match on
Tuesday afternoon there was a
marked Improvement, of form and a
more startling display of skill.
The results were as follows:
James Dawson vs. M. Kennedy;
Dawson won, 6-2 and 0-3.
Gary vs Wallace; Gary won, by de
fault.
Eugene Vordery vs. Austin Branch;
Verdery won, by default.
Cohen vs. Delmonlco; Delinonlco
won, 6-3 and 6-3.
James Dawson vs. Ramspeck; Daw
son won, 0-3 and 6-3.
Gary vs. Orr; Orr won, 6-7, 03 and
v-5.
Jackson vs. Wall; Wall won, 6-9 and
•6-2.
Agee vs. Verdery; Agee won, 6 0
and 6-0.
Lee vs. Wall; Lee won, 4-6, 6-3
and 0-4.
Bridges vs. Vai Dawson; Bridges
won, 6 1 and 6-0.
Delmoulco vs. Harper; Delmonlco
won, 6-2 and 0-1.
Delmonlco vs. John Harper; Del
monico won, 7-5 and 6-1.
Martin vs. James Dawson; Dawson
won, 6-1 and 6-2.
Perhaps the most hrllllant tnnleh
of the afternoon was that played by
Bridges and Dawson. Allhough Hie
score was not so elose as the Gary
Orr seore, more startling plays were
made by both men. Early in ilie first
set Bridges perceived Dawsons
weakness, i. e.. Inability to return
long “lnbs." But Dawson failed to place
three or four in quick succession, the
North Carolinian saw his chance and
never let upon him. At every upper tun
nlty the veteran lobbed, and Dawson
was kepi always on the alert. He, too,
however, saw his opponent's most ap
parent weakness, which was seeming
ly a hobble every time he got a low
ball, and Dawson used It to good ad
vantage. Bridges' fine work was quite
a surprise. Of course everybody who
had seen his work before was well
aware that any contestant In Hie lour
immcnt would find In the visitor a
foeman truly "worthy of his steel,”
but few would have predicted such
an easy victor over Dawson, who is
regarded ns one of Ihe fastest young
racquets in Augusta.
J. K. Orr won Ihe hardest
victory of (lie day. Gary took the
first five to seven and Orr forged
ahead in Ihe second, scoring six In
three. Gary started off with a rush
in Ihe third and for a while showed
the better form. With the games
standing four to three, it seemed al
most certain Hist lie would win out,
but at Hie psychological moment Hie
Atlanta player rallied with great form,
by a desperate effort, and Gary never
overcame his lead. Orr was consid
erably done up by the match. Gary
played him to a standstill, and I'
was a fine exhibition. In Hip last set
| neither man took an unnecessary
1 chance, both playing a hamnier-and
tongs game without any frills in
t ached.
The Lee-Wall match waa also a|
splendid exhibition. Both men are]
fine athletes, and every point was j
stubbornly contested, as Hie score j
shows. Three sets were necessary to
decide the winner.
ian showing made by Delmonlco
and Jim Dawson excited quite a little
comment among the spectators. Each 1
man played three matches and won
three. Dawson d< seated M. Kennedy,
Ramapeck and Martin; Delmonlco
.triumphed over the Harper brother
and Rodney Gohen. Dawson Is showing
great form In the tournament, and
many thins he will qualify for the
finals in singles. He played an easy
J game yesterday, winning all bis
matches In two sets. Ko did Delinon- j
leo. It Is a safe bet that he will give |
the fast men a run for their money, t
He is me heaviest man in the totirn i |
; ment, and a casual observer would
I think that bis extra avoirdupois work \
i ed him a hardship. But not so; there:,;
| not a more active racket entered, ills)
terrific first proved the undoing of,
j John Harper In the lasi match lie
played, coupled with a clever placed ;
return that scored, time after Dine,
on every opponent.
The Atlanta representation broke
[even. Orr won the close match from I
| Gary Hist was mentioned In a pre |
j ceding paragraph, and Ramspeck lost I
|to Dawson In a pretty game.
Even the most sanguine hardly
dared lo hope the tournament would
I prove such a success.
The courts are in flnfie shape
and the weather fine. Yesterday's st
