BASE ball a sure thing.
Tlie Franchise for Savannah Bought
by a Savannah Man.
D. Miller Contracts the League
Eights and Privileges Here—A Stock
Company to Be Formed and a Team
to Be Secured at Once—An Effort to
Secure McCloskey as Manager.
Xhe announcement in the Morning
j,- e ws a few days ago that the base ball
franchise here had been purchased,
created a good deal of talk among the
••fans.”
The franchise is now held By Mr. Jeff
p. Miller who has received the formal
transfer from Jimmie Manning. The
terms of the sale are private but this
vili be of little interest to the ball loving
people in Savannah compared with the
fact that base ball is assured for the sum
mer months.
A stock company will be formed and
Immediate steps taken to organize a good
club. Mr. Miller is now in communication
W ith John J. McCloskey whom, he wants
to secure as a player-manager. McClos
hev was with Montgomery last season,
anil is considered a tip-top player, and can
get together a rattling team.
The salary list all over the country will
be lower than ever and players are not so
autocratic as formerly, and do not de
mand large slices of advance money.
The club will probably have a paid up
capital of $2,500, which is considered am
nio to get along smoothly. It is a well
known fact that Manning made a good
ibing out of base ball here last season,
and there will be no difficulty in disposing
of the stock of the new club.
There are two good ball grounds near
the electric roads—the Bolton Street
park and the old Pompeiian grounds,
neither of which has been
definitely decided upon yet. Mr.
Miller will attend the meeting
at the Southern league to he held at an
early date and further details of the com
ing season will then be announced. Sa
vannah is on the schedule committee, and
efforts will be mude to have the games
in this city when the patronage is the
largest. Savannah can easily support a
good club, and now that there are to be
ball games this year there te no doubt the
large attendance of last summer will be
repeated.
It is said that Macon and Columbus are
trying to secure the Augusta franchise.
Should Macon get it, Charleston, Savan
nah, Macon ana Atlanta will form the
eastern circuit while the western circuit
will be made up of Nashville, Memphis,
New Orleans and Mobile.
Frank Connaughton, who caught last
year in Savannah, has signed With Bos
ton.
Ollie Beard will manage the Charleston
team.
Ted Sullivan has been engaged to man
age the Atlanta team, and is now busy
signing his players. Atlanta will give
him all the desired financial support and
the club has instructed him *o have
nothing but “fancy brights” on the team.
Jim Manning has signed some of the
Savannah players for his Kansas City
team. A number of the Southern League
players are now in the Western League.
Manager' Stallings, of Nashville, has
booked five good men, but will not give
the names to the public.
Montgomery will probably enter the
league before the season closes.
Mobile has all her club signed except a
shortstop and a fielder.
Ted Sullivan has a great reputation for
his coaching abilities and It is worth the
price of admission to hear him rattle the
best of teams. ,
A correspondent of the Sporting News
tells the following good story on Sul
livan:
“In one game at Birmingham last sea
son Ted needed two runs to tie and three
to win, when he went to bat in the ninth
inning. He and Miller occupied their
usual position and both in uniform. As
the first man came up end the opposing
pitcher was preparing to deliver the ball
•Ted addressed Miller as follows: ‘Well,
Charlie, you know we never take supper
without a victory.’ ‘Of course not,’re
sponded Miller.
“Well, yer gwine to go hungry to-night,
Mr. Sullivan,” chimed in an old colored
man, but he didn't; they won the game
before their opponents got their bearings.
“I'll take the Moon,” said Ted; “I’ll
take the Stars,” responded Miller.
' High sky,” said Ted, aDd the batsman
cracked out a hit.
“Tuscaloosa,” yelled Miller.
"Alabama,” came from Ted, and hang
went another hit. Each and every man
that came up either got a hit or a base on
balls, and won the game before any one
knew how it was done.
The opposing fielders were mystified
from start to finish, and a more disap
pointed lot of spectators and ball players
was never seen before, and yet everybody
was in good humor with Ted.
The caseof the Macon Base Ball Club vs.
the Southern League has been postponed.
Judge Bartlett who was to try the case is
sick and the matter will probably not
come up until next month.
LAUREL GROVE FILLING UP.
Pretty Nearly All the Burial Lots
Taken,
Mr. George W. Alley has filed his first
annual report as keeper of Laurel Grove
cemetery.
The number of interments during 1893
was 1,819, of which 394 were white and
044 colored.
The total number of interments in the
cemetery since 1852, when it was first
opened, is 43,659, of which 15,808 were
white and 27,851 colored. Of the 374
whites buried during last year, 286 died
in the city, 63 out of the city ahd 25 were
stillborn and premature infants.
. Of the 944 colored interments, 761 died
m the city, 66 outside and 117 were still
horn and premature infants.
Luring the year the superintendent
sold thirty-six lots in the white cemetery
anil thirteen in the colored, receiving SBIO
tor the first and $132 from the second.
Hie receipts from burial fees were $1,319,
making the total receipts of the cemetery
for the year $2,261.
_ fhe expenses for the year were $7,412.60.
Ihe largest item of expense was the
' va Kes of the employes, which amounted
to $6,567.49. The salary of keeper was
96 and $420 wad paid for a detective.
There were 244 interments at the city’s
expense during the year, of which fifty
three were white and 191 were colored.
Ihe report says the cemetery is in good
‘■oadition with the exception of the fences,
which will require considerable repairing
this year, the hedge which had been
planted to take the place of the fence
I toying of very slow growth.
Mr. Alley says. In his report, that
there is considerable ground within the
cemetery which if properly drained and
graaed can be made use of for burial pur
poses. He says if the city will furnish
him a mule and cart and the necessary
amount of drain pipe he will be able to
Put this ground in good condition with
very little extra expense to the city. The
number of available lots unsold in the
cemetery is very small.

“Young Men Who Succeed.”
Editor Morning News: Your article
on "Young Men Who Succeed” is a gem.
It is full of practical common sense and
business all through. Every young man
should have a copy of it, and as hoys
leave school or college it should be handed
to them. Your writer in the past had a
good deal to do with boys and young men.
Some turned out well, others were no ac
count. Some were mere machines, others
were active, wideawake and thinkers. I
write this article to give point to your
sensible remarks.
Some thirty or more years ago, a boy
about 15 or 16 went into the office of a
merchant and asked for employment.
The merchant did not need any one, but
asked the boy what he could do. "Do
anything you tell me to do,” came the an
swer. His frank, candid, open manner
struck the merchant, and he said to him:
“Well, I will try you. I want you to sweep
out this room and put things in order.
Begin to-morrow morning.” The next
morning the room was swept and put in
order. The merchant came down
and was pleased with appear
ances. “Anything more to do?” asked
the boy. He was given something else
to do. The merchant thought he would
test his honesty, as he liked the way he
worked. He wanted to see if the boy was
trustworthy, a very important point with
business men.
State
or
Weather.
The merchant let drop on the floor be
fore he left his office, five cents, knowing
the boy would find it in the morning when
he swept the floor. Next morning the
boy handed him the money and said he
found it on the floor. The merchant tried
him then with a dollar, and perhaps
more. The boy found it and returned it.
The merchant saw that he was a boy of
principle and could be trusted. In time
he rose from one position to another. By
the time he was 35 years of age, he was
head clerk.
On one occasion, tho merchant said to
him: “I want that cotton weighed,
marked and shipped to-morrow morn
ing.” “Yes, sir.” The next morning when
the merchant came down to his office,
about 8 or 9 o’clock, he saw the clerk sit
ting in the office reading a paper. Said
the merchant: “I thought I told you I
wanted that cotton shipped.” “It is
shipped.” said the clerk. “When?” asked
the merchant. “On the first outgoing
freight train,” replied the clerk.
“When did you begin?” asked the
merchant. “At daylight this morning,”
answered the clerk. Nothing more was
said. The merchant, on one occasion,
talking with other merchants, said: “I
have the best clerk in the city, the best
business man 1 ever had; he is a whole
team in himself.” One of the merchants
present did not forget that expression,
and seeing .the young man about a week
afterwards asked him what he was get
ting as a salary. “One hundred dollars a
month,” answered the clerk. “I tell
you what I will do,” said the merchant.
“Iwill give you $1,500 a year.” “I will
think about it,” said the clerk. He went to
his employer and said to him, “I am of
fered $1,500 by Mr. Brown, and I must
look out for my own interests.” “You
can't leave me,” said the merchant, “1
will give you $1,500. In time again, he
was offered $3,000. The merchant saw
that other merchants knew his worth,
and to hold so good a man he said, “I
see that you are wanted by others, and to
cut this matter short, I will take you in
to copartnership.”
The moral is plain. That boy begin
ning as be did made himself useful. He
became a necessity. He was reliable,
faithful, useful and helpful. He had the
right ambition in the right way. It paid
him well in life. R. M. O.
A widower, aged 84, married a girl of 19.
The local paper reported the wedding as fol
lows: When Mr. X. lost his wife a year
ago, it was feared that he would become de
mented. This fear has been fully realized.”—
