Newspaper Page Text8 BOSTON TAKES A TURN. NEW YORK BEATEN BY HEAVY BATTING AND INFIELDING. Eoth Tssrns Piaj- a Pretty Game and ti>L Giants an Errorless One-Kelly and Ewing Delighted With the Way Their Men Show Dp—Sharp Work Ahead for the Team That Gate Away W.tfc Either the Now Yorks or Bos tons— Gossip of the Players. The Bostons won the second game of the series with the New Yorks yesterday by a gcr.ro of fi to 2, and they did it by clean base hits a -i by the best of work in tbe mfield. A sound familiar to ali the cities of the eouu 6rv where the Boston team played last year was heard oa the Savannah grounds. It was the cheering “hi! hip of Gea. Dir well, and the red-legs were enthused when they heard the clarion cheering of tbe Boston base ball enthusiast. New York learned that Bostons are not to he fouled with. On the first day ths prac tice work of the Bostons showed that they were a dang rous team to fool with. Tbey excelled in their field work on Wednesday, and yesterday they proved to be kings of the willow, and Kdroy, Kelly and Johnson have not yet showed their hands. Gapt. Kelly wa3 well pleased with the work of the men. Swett showed up well, and Brown proved to be a safe catter. Gumbert more than pleased. In fact, Kelly says his team is tbe strongest that ever represented Boston in base ball. "BUCK” EWING HAPPY TOO. But the happy feeling was not confined to Kelly. “Buck” Kwing was well satisfied with the work of the “black-iegs.” They were beaten yesterday, but every score was well contested, and the New Yorkers played an errorless game in the field. Vaughn has proved a phenomenal catcher, and In sev enteen innings has not bad a passed bail. The attendance at yesterday’s game was large, the grand stand being comfortably filled and the bleaching boards crowded, and there was an array of carriages which took up all the available space assigned them. The New Yorks went first to bat. Gore hit to Daly and was thrown out at first. Richardson hit to Quiun and w as retired in the same way. Daly gave O’Rourke his base oa tails, but Stovey retired the side by capturing Connor’s long Hy to right field. Th 6 Bostons made no runs in the first. Richardsoa bit a pop fly, which Whitney caught. Stovey struck to Hat field and was thrown out at first, and Nash struck to Whitney, who fumbled the ball, but recovered it in time to throw Nash out at first. DALY GETS I.Y HIS WORK. In the second inning Daly was deceptive in his twirls and struck out the great Slat tery and Hatfield, but immediately after ward gave Whitney and Vaughn their bases on balls. Whitney was caught napping on third, however, and retired the side. The Bostons got nothing but goose eggs in this inning. Brouthers and Quinn sent long flies to right, which Gore took care of, and Irwin hit to Hatfield and was thrown out at first. In third inning John Ewing went to the bat and waited for ball i until Daly gave him his base. Gore hit to Irwin, catching Ewing before he could cover the second bag. Richardson made a clean base hit, the first or the game, but O’Rourke, who came next to bat, hit to Nash, who put the ball to first before the great slugger could reach tbe bag, and Conner hit to Quinn and was thrown out to first. Thus far not a run had been made. The Bostons went to the bat with blood in their eyes. Brown rapped a ball to right field for'three bags, and was wildly cheered, the “hi hi” of Gen. Dixwell being heard above the cheers of the grand staud and the bleaching boards. Swett struck out, Daly took first on an error in the in field and Richardson rapped a two bagger acd brought Brown in, and Daly came ic on a pretty sacrifice nit of Stovey’s. Nash ended the ru i ge.ting by flying out to Slattery. Score—Boston two, New York nothing. THS GIANTS’ ONE, TWO, THREE, OCT. The New Yorks went out in one, two, three order in tbe fourth inning. Slattery -true- to Na>h and was thrown out at first. Hatfield stru k out for the second time and M hitney hit to Irwin and was thrown out at first. Doyle, who pitched for tbo Auburas last year and won the state pm nant, was put in by the New Yorks in this inning, but he seemed to be unable to get the bails over the plate, as he gave Brouth ers and Quinn their bases on balls and irwiu advanced them on a sacrifice hit to Whitney, who threw Irwin out at first. Brown, the California wonder, who had made a throe bagger m the previous inning, hit for two bases, and Brout ers and Quinn scored, and Brown scored < n a clean nit of his partner Swett. Daiy flied out to Con nor, and Swett was left on the base by Richardson’s hit to Richardson, who threw his namesake out at first. new York’s only runs. In the fifth inning the New Yorks made two runs, their only scores of tee game. Vaughn fouled out to Swett, Doyle was hit by a hall ami was advanced by Gore’s clean hit, and again by Richardson’s hit to Hat field. The bail beat Gore to second, but O’Rourke’s clean hit brought Doyle and Richardson in. Connor’s corker to Irwin ■was handsomely stopped and Conuor died at first. The first two men at the bat for Boston were given their base on balls, Stovey and Nash, but Stovey was caught napping at second. Brouthers flied out to Connor, Quinn hit for two bases and ad vanced Nash to third, where he was left by Irwin striking to Doyle, who threw him out at first. In the sixth inning the Bostons presented anew battery in Gumbert, pitcher, and Mur phy, catcher. Murphy proved to be a tricky man behind the bat. and the giants couldn’t get a run in the last four innings. Slattery went cut on a loui fit' to Richardson, Hat field made a clean base hit, and on Nash’s low throw to first got to third before the red-legs could find the ball uuder the grand stand, but Hatfield was caught napping at third by a quick throw of Murphy to Nash in a double play on a strike-out of Whit ney. The brilliant work was wildly cheered. EWING A PUZZLER. The Bostons could not hit Ewing effect ively in this i uing. Brown’s pop fly was caught by Richardson, but Murphy and Gumbert wore given their bases on balls. Richardson's foul fly was captured by Con nor, and Stovey batted wiud three times aid retired tho side. In the seventh inning only threo New Yorkers gjt to bat. Vaughn struck to Gumbort, and was thrown out at first; Ewing went out on a fly to Nash, and Gore’s liner was taken on a deal run by Btovev in right field. O’Day then went in t f pitc.i for the New Yorks, aud the bean-eaters could do little with his delivery, except in tne first bail delivered, which Nasi: liit 1 1 right, and wtdeh Slat tery, who had exchanged posit ins with Gore, caught on a long run. Brouthers took tis base on balls, and Quinn was hit by a ball and took first. Brouthers was caiigtit ut third as Irwin hit to Gumbert, who threw quickly to Nosh. W-hitnoy, iu u long running foul fly from Brown’s bat, retired the side. U'JSTON’S LAST ItUSf. In the eighth inning Richardson took tlr*t on a clean hit, hut w,j O’Rourke went to the bat aid lilt, to N ish u nretty v 'd Nash to Quinn aud Quiun to Brouthere put b th of the New Yorker#oui.

Nash, third baseman of the Bostons, had his foot badly spiked yesterday. The Boston press appears to have the most enterprising papers, in a base ball wav, of any northern city. Morse and Murnane of the Boston pre&s have orders from their papers to follow the Bos tons in all tnoir travels during the year, and, with Gen. “Hi Hi” Dixwell, they compose a trio that will back the “red logs” to the last. The cheeriest sounds of the day yesterday were tho 39 of Dixwell’s“hi! hi!” to the superb work of the Bostons, and Morse’s cheers from the top of an omnibus behind the backstop. Manager Alderman Reid is a great brotherhood man, and he says that no called meetings of council will attract him while the New Yorks and Bostons play. “Jim” Mcßride went out yesterday to see the New Yorks win, and was badly disap pointed. His game rooster, which was the mascot for the Giants, is in New York, and the Bostons say that “Mac’s”roosters,which were mascots for New York and Philadel phia, will have to move oyer to Boston, where the crowing will be done at the end of the season. “Buck” Ewing will catch for New York to-morrow, aud Kelly for Boston Both are the stars of the Amerloau bail field,captains of their teams, and it will be a treat to hear them guy each other to-morrow, as is their custom. PREPARING FOR MAY WEEK. The Executive Committee Getting Everything in Shape. The executive committee for Merchants’ week met last night to arrange the final details of the programme for the cslebra tion. Reports were received from most of the subcommittees. The finance committee lacks several thousand dollars yet of the amount required for the celebration, and a final effort will bo made in the next few days to complete the canvass by raising the small amount needed, which it is believed can be done. Over 4,000 invitations have been sent out to the country merchants to be tbe guests of the Savannah merchants during Mer chants week. As less than 1,000 invitations remain yet to be distributed the committee deemed it wise to limit the further distribu tion for the present. Five hundred invita tions will be turned over to the Savannah branch of the Southern Travelers’ Associa sion to be sent out under the direction of its president. The committees on invitation, open house parades, entertainments, music, races, Tybee, etc., submitted reports showing the progress of the preparations. Four bands have been engaged for the entire week and the visitors will hear pieaty of music. Be sides tho two Savannah bands, Cobb’s mili tary and the Regimental band, the Bruns wick and Tennille bands have beau engaged. The schedules and purses for the pilot boat aid the rowing races have been made up, aud the entries will be made in a very short time. The arrangements for Tybee day are well under way. Everything points to the celebration be ing a great success. It is being wail adver tised throughout the state, aud in Florida, Soutn Carolina aud Alabama, aud the country merchants arc expected by thou sands. DIDN’T LIKE THE D3CISION& The Athletic Club Stirred Up Over the Sparring Contest. The decision of the judges the other night at the sparring contest ia the theater has given rise to a good deai of dissatisfaction among members of the Athletic club. The decision about whioh tbe most dissatisfaction exists is that where Williams was awarded the championship medal over Black. The consensus of opinion is that the contest was a draw. It was so decided by one of the judges, but the other held that Williams was the winner. Williams is wearing the medal now, however, aud the the complaints are useless. President Minis said that the association will give a sparring contest between professionals some time during Merchants’ week. The best sparrers will be here, and the set-tos will be the best ever seen here. The association will hold a meeting Tuesday night to per fect plans for the contest during the week of festivities. Death of Dr. Becker. Dr. Cornelius Becker died at his residence on Berrien street about 12 o’clock yesterday, of pneumonia, after au illness of two weeks. Dr. Becker was a uative of Michigan, but came to this city four years ago, and had made a number of friends by his kindness and attention to the sick and distressed. He left the city some time ago ad returned to Michigan, but finding the climate too se vere for him after his residence here, returned about two months, sines and re sumed his practice, About two weeks ago he contracted a cold, which developed into pneumonia and terminated fatally. Dr. BecKer was 58 years old, and leaves a wife and one daughter. He was a member of Zerubbabel Lodge. F. aud A.

THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, .MARCH 21, 1880. A REDUCTION NOT EXPECTED. Tbo Tax Rato Will Not bo Loss Than IJ-jper Cent. Anyway. There does not stem to be any probability i of the tax rate being fixed at less than { per cent, in the city tax ordinance for IS9O, although there was a general feeling that the failure to pass tbe ordinance night be- I fore last meant that an effort would be * made to r -duco the rate. The improve ments called for by the water works de | partment, however, preclude the hope of j any roduotion in the rate. Alderman Myers, cn airman of toe finance committee of council, said to a Morning News reporter yesterday that no lower rate may tie expected than ljj per cent., and that the delay m uusbiug the ordinance to a passage at tbe last meeting of council was for the purpose of awaiting the return of City Attorney Adams, who had not yet returned from Atlanta The decision of the supreme court iu the Weed case is cons dzred a great victory by Mr. Bourquin, who seems to have been as badly ha-dicapped fifteen years ago on equal tax a ion as he has been, thus far, in his efforts to have the streets of the city worked by the citizens. Mr. Bourquin says that fifteen years ago he ana about 100 taxpayers fi.ed a bill against tue city iu the superior court to compel the city to tax all species of prop erly equally. The late Louis H. De Mo.it moiteu was their counsel. Judge Tonipxins decided that the city had the right to dis criminate, and tho case was taken up to the supreme court, which decided that it “would not disturb the decision of the grand chancell t below.” In referring to the decision of the supreme court of last week, Mr. Bourquin said: “After long years we have won. We have a supreme court that has some sense, and readers an opinion. The supreme court fifteen years ago, without s-iowing aiy i eiisqjn for its action, merely said it wouldn’t disiuru the decision o£ tho grand chancel lor.” PILOTS TRIMMING THEIR SAILS.^ Tbe Merchants’ Week Regatta Attract ing Wide Attention. The Merchants’ week pilot boat race is attracting considerable attention in yacht ing circles. Capt. W. J. Thompson entered the Neca and Mary Odell yesterday. Capt. W. T. Daniels will sail the Odell, and Capt. Thompson will be at the Neca's wheel, and ho believes she will win “wita hands down.” It is to be no child’s piay, however, as some of the greyhouuds of the South At lantic coast will trim their sails to carry off the S4OO purse, and among the goers are the Frances Elizabeth of Caarieston, which carries tne prize colors of the Tybee pilot boat rogotta. Tne Bride aud tne Igo of Charleston are also down for the race, and the Gracia, Telegram aud Glyun of Bruns wick, and Brunswick thinks the Grade is the fatest boat afloat. The Sprite, Capt. Marmelstein, of this city is also expected to contest for the prize, and the race will not be won easily. None of the boats can afford to waste any sail power. Oa a long reach, with a fair wind, the Odell is a prime favorite, and she only lost the Tybee colors last year by an accident to her sails. Her long tack to Daufuski in the race in 18aS gave Capt. Swann a fright and the Frances iiiizabetn carried off the bunting by a close cail. In addition to the pilot boat regatta during Merchants’ week, it is said that were wilt be another pilot boat race in Juiy.wiiea the Frances Elizabeth, to keep the colors she carried off two years ago, must again prove her right to float them by entering and running the race. There is big money in Savannah that is ready to back tl opinion tnat she can never take the colors back to Charleston. A LETTER FROM MRS. DAVIS. She Thanks tbe Georgia Hussars For The Memorial of Her Late Husband. Shortly after the death of Jefferson Davis the Georgia Hussars, which was Company F of the “Jeff. Davis legion,” sent Mrs. Davis a memorial volume, con taining tho engrossed resolutions adopted by the company upon tho death of Mr. Davis, and the newspaper clippings refer ring to his last visit to Savannah, together with the accounts of the military display at tbe time of the obsequies iu New Orleans. Yesterday the company received an acknowledgment of the volume in the fol lowing beautiful letter: Beauvoir House. Henry B. Foye, Secretary (ieonjia titulars: Dear Sir— indisposition has delayeJ uty ac knowledgment oi the kind and grateful fetter with which you preset :-*d the handsome com pilation of notices of my husband, the good wishes and the sympathy of the Georgia Hus sars. Personal experience had taught me to expect all that was considerate ami generous at the hands of the people of Savannah, for among them I found refuge when iu sore need of their ministration. I went there a stranger, and left the city with a sense of having been again reft of those tender l ies which make home dear, and though twenty five years have elapsed since I bade Savannah and her people farewell these memoirier are still treshand precious to me. In later years, when my husband and daughter visited you, the military organizations aud the citizens gave them so hearty and spontaneous a welcome that you agaiu laid us uuder bonds of i ratitude never to be loosed. Now that he has laid liis burthens down and entered into his rest, let ms thank you for the cheer and com fort that your generous affection afforded him. With great regard, yours sincerly, V. Jki’Feuson Davis. March 17 • A BCRIVEN FARMER ROBBED. J. B. Burke Relieved of His Eat, Watch and Chain. J. B. Burke, a Scriven county farmer, was robbed of his hat, watch and chaiu night before last. Seymour Hill (colored) was locked up by Policeman Crimmins on the charge of the robbery, but he “squealed” and put the crime on a negro by the name of Grant, an old offender who has done time for robbery, aud who stabbed Deputy Sheriff James Sullivan some time ago and was shot at by the officer. Yesterday Hill’s father pointed out Grant to Frank Duuno, Justice Eisiuger’s court officer, and Dunno arrested Grant, but on the way to the justice’s office, and oa St. Julian street, Grant broke away, and Duuno discharged ms revolver at the fugitive. Officer Uailli ird (colored), of Justice Eudres’ court, saw Grant's flight and intercepted him and turned him over to Dunno. The justice committed him. Duuno was after tv aid put on the iufo.-matioa docket for reckless shooting on the street to the peril of passers by. TWO NEW STOREa. The Deßenne Estate Erecting Them on Bay Street.

IX AND ABOUT THE CITY LIFE AMONG TUB SAILOR3. Rev. Dr. Stitt’s Address on tbe Tollers of the Sea. Rev. W. C. Stitt, secretary of the Ameri can Seamen’* Friend tFiciety, addressed a large audience last night at the Baptist church. He took for his subject “Tue Sea.” His description of it wash ghiy interesting. It is tbe sea, he said, that nourished na ture, heals the sick, and gives life and vigor to all things. Wonderful is the .ocoau. It is a store cf life, and there are 25,000 spe dcs of marine life. The ocean fascinates the mind of man. In spite of wate: sp uts men have gone to sea on vessel*. “We find to-day,” the speaker said, “4,000,000 tons of carrying capacity. Tiieshipino - afloat ’are3,Qsj,(Do men In charge of them.” At the the beginning of the cent :ry seamen were regarded as a wortlifc-s, low set of men. Religion at sea was ridiculed.-* The spark was kindled, though, after a while, and sailors began t> be saved. Societies began to be organized, and in 1812, 1814 aud 1817 many were es tablished. Men who thought that the idea of preach ing to sailors amount'd to no more than talking to the masthead c-auged their opinion. The law takes especial care of sailors, the speaker said. Why? he asked. Because they are separated from ail men except their captains, and we have stories that these captains are iu same instances cruel to them. The sailor needs protection, and the makers of the laws have seen it Ships go in And out, and Christians say “there go the ships” without thinking for one time of the spiritual condition of the sailors. “Sometimes I think,” the speaker said, “that Our societies are at fault in this. As far as our society is concerned, we have fourteen laborers at home aud fifteen abroad. More than 112,000 bailors have found shelter in tbo New York home since it w*s established, ia 1842. There are 8,000,000 of these sailors to be saved. They ara only oti the land eight weeks out of fifty two. If they become Christians they carry the gospel to all lands. They dis-iminate Christianity. It is said of Boston, ‘lf a man dies without leaving a legacy to Harvard, he is almost disgraced.’ Why can it not he said in Savannah that no decent nian dies without leaving a .sum to the Port Society ! “Let us make all ships floating edifices of Christ,” tho speaker said. He complimented Savannah uoon its Port Society. He said that the managers are men who are interested in the Bethel work. He wondered why it could not be better, since he has soon the handsome places of worship in which the pe pie of Savannah worship. Savannah seems to be a very wealthy city, and he could not see why there is not a warmer feeling toward the sailors. When lie comes here again ho hoDes to find a sailors’ home.’ In the pulpit wire Chaplain Gilmore, Rev. J. E. L. Homes, Rev. Ric mrd Webb aud Rev. Dr. Dripps. The singing was especially good. The combined choirs in the city furnished tho music. Rev. Mr. Stitt will leave to-day for Rome, accompanied by hii son, who lives in that city. He will spend a few days there and will then visit other cities in tho south. Yesterday, accompanied by Chaplain Gilmore and some of the trustees of tbe Port Society, Mr. Stitt visited the wharves, the Bethel and other points in Savannah. He expressed himself very much pleased. The idea among ttie members of the Port Society is to make a home for the sailors as soon as they are able. It is believed (fiat sleeping quarters for a few will bo arranged this year, and later on a splendid home will be prepared. CiTY BREVITIES. Landrum Lodge No. 48, F. and A. M., meets this evening. Myrtle Lodge No. 6, K. P., holds a reg ular meeting this evening. Sam Brown (colored), employed on the ocean steamship wharves, was cut in the left arm by auotber colored man yesterday, and four stitches were taken in the ugly wound by Dr. Keller, at the city dispen sary. Brown says he does not know the name of his assailant. The movers in the jockey club reorgani zation will meet in tbe Pulaski house par lors at 5 o’clock this afternoon, when the club will be reorganized and the date of the first meetiug will probably be settled upon, the members of the club when it was in its g’,i are taking an active interest in its reorganization. • A car loaded with the portable frame house manufactured by Stillwell, Miller & Cos., was sw itched off yesterday evening at the Exchange dock, where the'house ili be erected oa the western end of Paulsen’s wharf for exhibition to the general public previous to its being shipped aboard the schooner Amanda for Kingston, Jamaica. The electric light on Abercoru and South Broad streets, iu front of tbe firemen’s headquarters, has not been in working order for the last three nights. That sec tion of the city is in darkness. Fortunately during this time no fires have occurred, else the firemen in running out might have collided with some of the trees or posts at the intersection of the two streets. The Moltxing News has received from George Wagner a sample of cucumbers raised on his place on the Thunder, olt road in the face of the cold weather. The vege tables show -,vhnt can b) done around Savannah. Mr. Wagner expects to begin shipping in a very short time. The modus operand) of raising the cucumbers can be explained better by a visit to his place. There is no sign of a cold wave soon, although the wind blew and whistled around the corners last night. The conditions are favorable for warmer weather and rains. In tbe Mississippi valley a warm wave has started and it is passing northeasterly over the country, causing w armer weather and rains. Yesterday it was snowing in New York aud tho New England states, but the low temperature will not live longer than two days. The warm wave is moving very rapidly now, and to-day will be warmer here, with ram. A NEW LOAN AHSOCIATION. i ' ..op t The Savaxmab Aasooiatlon Organized with John G. Rowland President.
