Wiseman's lleautiful Rnnnlng
Catch the Star Play of the Game.
The Pelicans were an easy mark for
Huston’s Pets yesterday afternoon and the
cranks saw the first victory of the team
in the league series on the home grounds.
The Savanna'll boys were out to win and
no mistake. They opened up with a rush
and had the game cinched in the second
inning. The Pelicans put up a very poor
> tide of ball and the whole team was in
the air.
No less than three pitchers occupied the
box for New Orleans In the first three in
nings and the Savannah batsmen succeed
ed in knocking two of them out. Burris
siarted in to pitch for New Orleans. He
K ave two bases on balls, hit a man and
was touched up for three hits In one In
ning. Sutley replaced him in the second
inning, but it was a case of from the fry
ing pan into the tire.
Stultz pitched a steady game for Sa
vanah and had good control, but he was
anything but a puzzle to the Pelicans, and
they hit him heavily.
The game was full of errors on both
sides and the fielding of neither team was
especially brilliant. The star play of the
game was the beautiful running catch of
Wiseman, New Orlean’s center fielder.
Stultz sent a long fly to center, which
looked like It was surely good for two
bases but Wiseman, after making a des
perate run, reached up and brought it
down. When-the little fielder came in he
was cheered and cheered until he was
obliged to doff his cap.
The batting order of the team was
changed and Meaney opened up. He was
given his base on balls and reached third
when Huston hit safely to right. Weikart
was hit by the pitcher and Huston went
to second. Dowie got a nice hit to the
t ight of second base and Meaney and Hus
ton scored. Deveney got a hit over sec
ond and Dowie was thrown out at second.
Deveney stole second without a throw.
Ballantyne fanned out. Herbert reached
first on a gift, which filled the bases, but
Hallowed was thrown out by Morrison.
Nine men went to bat for Savannah In
the second, and the boys piled up five
runs. Stultz hit past second and reached
that base when Meaney got to first cn
Burris’ error. Stultz was thrown out to
third by Byers, apd Huston was hit by
pitcher, sending Meaney to second, the
latter scoring on Weikart’s. hit to right,
and Huston going to third. Dowie follow
ed with a hit between second and -hird,
and Huston scored, Weikart going to third.
Dowie stole second. A wild pitch sent
Weikart home and Dowie to third. De
veney got his base on balls and stole sec
ond. Ballantyne followed with a drive to
right, scoring Dowie and Deveney. Savan
nah had two men on bases when the third
out was made.
New Orleans got a tally in the second
inn.ng. Langsford was given his base on
balls and reached third when Morrison
drove a hit over short. Byers flied out to
center and Wiseman did the same to left.
Langsford got in the tally. Graney hit
over second, but died there. Ballantyne
threw to second to keep Graney on first,
and Morrison started home from third.
Deveney got the ball back to Ballantyne
in a beautiful way and Ballantyne caught
Morrison at the plate.
After Deveney had flied out to short In
the sixth, Ballantyne reached first on
Langsford’s error, stole second, and went
to third on Byers' error, which placed
Herbert on first. Hallowell was thrown
out by Langsford. Stultz hit over second,
scoring Ballantyne and sending Herbert
to third. Meaney drove for ..*ree bases,
scoring Herbert and Stultz, but 'Meaney
was left on third when Weikart flied out
to first.
New Orleans got two runs in the fifth.
Savannah got two and New Orleans three
in the ninth.

INDOOR LEAGUE ENDS BADLY.
Y. M. C. A.’* Given the Game When
the C. L. A.’* Quit.
In some part of holy writ it Is said that
the first shall be last and the last shall
be first, ftnd the wind-up of the association
Indoor ball league this season verifies the
Baying. The Y. M. C. A.’s, the tail-end
ers of last season, are awarded the cham
pionship for the coming year, while last
year’s champion®, the C. L. A. team, bring
up the rear.
After eleven Innings hard playing, the
prettiest Indoor ball game played this sea
son ended in what the cranks term a
‘■fluke,’’ and the Ghrlstian association
boys took the game by forfeit, the score,
as it must be officially recorded, being 9
to 0.
In the eleventh Inning with the score a
tie and John Elton on second base, George
Elton hit to the infield. Some kick was
made about a play of J. Elton, the nature
of which could not be learned, and both
teams congregated around third hag dis
cussing the-point with Umpire Kay ton.
Umpire Smith walked up as far as home
base and stood on the rubber during this
Interval.
The point in question being settled, Um
pire Kayton and Capt. Horrigan of the
Library team started for the box, and
while Horrlgan's back w,as turned Elton
broke and ran home. The Library team
contended that the game was for the time
suspended, the Christian association boys
claiming that time had not been called and
that the run would count. Feeling that
they were right in the matter, Manager
Hogan and Capt. Horrigan called the Ll
biary club from the field, ending the great
est exhibition of indoor ball this season.
The crowd was the largest of the season
and all regretted very much that the
league should have such an ending. There
was a wide difference of opinion as to who
was right, it is certain, however, that
the spectators considered the game sus
pended during the first argument, and It
is also a fact that the Y. M. C. A. team
was around third base and it was neces
sary for Elton to break through the crowd
to score.
This ends indoor base ball for the season
of '96. The last man has been put out,
the last hit made, the last kick against ai>
umpire’s decision has been made, and with
that kick, one team quit the game.
The score by innings is as follows:
Y M. C. A...0 1 00 0 0 10 2 0 2-6
C. L. A. 1 1 0.0 0 0 0 1 1 0 X—4

CRISIS FOR THE VOLUNTEERS.
(Continued from. Eighth Page.)
operatives so that the departure of some
may relieve the company of laying oft a
number of others.
Mr. W. J. Haylow, superintendent ot
transportation of the Plant System, was
seen in regard to the number of enlisted
men in the employ of the road. Nothing
more than a rough estimate could, ot
course, be given, but Mr. Haylow thought
there were possibly 150 enlisted men, in
cluding all departments. Some of these
are officers, while the others are well
drilled men, who have devoted much time
and attention to military tactics.
While Mr. Haylow did not think the rail
road would bind itself to reserve positions,
still he believed the men would receive lib
eral treatment in this regard and would
probably be given to understand that their
positions would he reserved for them. This
will doubtless be a matter for the differ
ent heads of the departments to decide, as
they do the employing. It is certain the
Plant System officials will treat all Its
men Just who answer the bugle call and
go in the country’s defense.
The position of the colored troops
has become one of some interest.
Lieut. Col. John H. Deveaux was asked
yesterday what stand the men of his bat
talion would take in the event of a call
tor volunteers.
’’That I cannot say definitely,” he re
plied. “We are a part of the state militia
and are ready to do whatever we are
called on to do. If the call is for volun
teers I think from what I have heard front
the men the great majority of them would
respond individually lo the call. The offi
cers, however, have never discussed tha
matter officially or otherwise, and, of
course I could not say what they might or
might not do. But they ore subject to
the orders of the Governor and they ara
ready to do their part. I don't think
there Is any doubt but that many of our
men will readily volunteer. I have just
finished changing the old 50-caliber rifles
we have been using for the 45-caliber.
We are somewhat short on equlpmenl, but
I have no doubt we would be provided for
promptly in the event we go into the ser
vice.”
The Savannah military- companies have
had several offers from former members
and others who want to join the ranks
In case they go as commands as at pres
ent constituted. Capt. Belrne Gordon ot
the Georgia Hussars has received letters
from W. F. Moss of Marietta and J.
Browning Yates of Washington, D. C.,
former Hussars, and a telegram from Dr.
William Eckstein of Mount Sinai Hospital,
New York, also a former Hussar, say
ing that if the Hussars go as a troop
they want to volunteer and go with them.
It is believed all of the Savannah com
panies can come pretty near recruiting
their ranks up to seventy-five men, as re
quired, on pretty short’notice. The trou.
ble is that under the call for volunteers
this many will not be needed flom Sa
vannah, though the chances are the gov
ernment will accept all the volunteers they
can get.
CHATHAM9 AT THE BAZAR.
They Made Tiling* Merry for tlie
Trooper*.
The crowd at the Hussars’ bazar last
night was smaller than was expected, but
those who were there, and there was a
good crowd, even if it was not so large as
those that had preceded it, enjoyed their
evening to the utmost. There were many
ladies present, and the gentlemen found
great delight In the agreeable moments
spent in their company.
The night was that of the Chatham Ar
tillery, which was out strong to dt> justice
to the excellent supper that had been pre
pared for them by the ladies of the culi
nary department, which Is under the able
direction of Mrs. Beirne Gordon. All the
officers of the Chatham® were out, and
they and their men had a great time. The
officers and men of the Hussars and their
lady friends are leaving nothing undone to
insure pleasant evenings for those who
visit them at their club rooms.
The feature of the bazar was the excel
lent vaudeville attraction. The choir
boyA of St. John’s Church, under the di
rection of the organist, Mr. Spencer M.
White, sang four choruses, three from
“Ermlnie” and one from “Tar and Tar
tar.” They were well received, great ap
plause being given the boys for their ex
cellent songs. They were in costume for
the choruses, and took very well indeed.
Mr. William Quinan did some of his
specialty work, his unique personification
of “Mr. Crowley of Central Park.” being
one of his best. Messrs. Dietz and Gyp
Clark, as darkey impersonators, were
very fine, the former appearing alone and
then with his brother in a comic duet and
minstrelsy. Mr. Dietz Clark sang "I’m a
Natural Bom Reaeher” in the true style,
and the audfenoe of the vaudeville was
right with him. Messrs. Teasdale and Al
len rendered a duet on the mandolin and
guitar that was a pretty melody, and the
exhibition, taken all in all, was voted one
of the beat that has yet been given. Mrs.
Law Gugle recited at tlfe performance,
and was roundly applauded. She has rare
talents, and it is regretted that her ap
pearances are not more frequent. To
night Miss Marguerlta Stultz will repeat
the dance that was so well received a few
nights ago, this little lady having been
urged to again appear in sue of her grace
ful dances.
The ladies are still talking of the splen
did baby show that was given day before
yesterday. They were far more success
ful, from a business point of view, than
they had anticipated, and, as a social fea
ture, the affair was also a pronounced suc
cess. The little ones, of whom twelve
were entered In the contest, the entrance
fee being 25 cents each, were pictures of
that sort of lovliness that is dear to the
feminine heart, and many fond and fervid
exclamations about the “cjiteness” and
prettiness of the children were heard on
all sides. A number of gentlemen were
present, and they seemed to enjoy the
show fully as much as the ladies.
The babies were ranged upon the stage,
Where a fair view was afforded for all.
The audience voted for those to whom the
golden apples should fall, and three of the
little dimpled darlings received pretty
prizes for the many votes
that were cast. The ladles
made 887.40 clear on the show, and
they are very proud of their success. It
was due to the Indefatigable efforts of
Mrs. G. A. Whitehead and Mrs. John
Heard Hunter, who were busied for many
days in getting up the spirted contest that
resulted from their labors. They had
been assured that more babies would be
entered in the show, but, when the time
came, a round dozen was on hand for the
audience to pick the winners.
The contest was for children of 3, 2 and
1 year, the first, second and third classes
being formed of those of the ages as
named. In the first class, that for the
3-year-old babies, the prize, a silver spoon,
was presented to little Leon Ferst. A
pretty doll was awarded Little Gladys, the
hospital protege of Dr. Duncan, a* the
winner of the prize In the second class,
and the prize in the third class, a pretty
pin, went to little Jack Kinzie, Jr.
The Hussars have received another sub
scription from This time the
Georgia and Alabama followed the action
of the Central, and made a handsome do
nation of 850. This Is greatly appreciated
by the troop, particularly, as the road
has never received apjr from the
troop, as has the Central. loots have
once or twice caused the Hussars to t>e
called out for their suppression, and this
has always been a bond between the Cen
tral and the military commands of the
city.
A donation has also been received from
the Irish Jasper Greens, through their
lieutenant, Mr. P. F. Gleason. The Greens
had been invited to attend the bazar and
take supper with the Hussars. This they
found it impossible lo do, so they decided
to send the troop 825 Instead, as a token of
their good will and their desire to e*
the bazar a great success. The action or
their comrade command is appreciated by
the members of the troop.

TWO BICYCLISTS COLLIDE.
Both Riders Injured and Bicycles
Damaged.
What might have been a serious accident
occurred yesterday afternoon at Hall and
Whitaker streets. Two young men riding
bicycles in opposite directions collided at
the path on the side of the (mossing, which
has been used recently on account of the
rough stones in the construction of the
regular crossing.
The mqn coming from the south was
thrown about fifteen feet and sustained a
sprain to both of his arms. The other was
thrown against a tree and slightly bruis
ed. The bicycles were considerably dam
aged.
The rough rock crossing at the intersec
tion of Whitaker and Hall streets, open
ing Into the park extension, was put there
some year* ago to enable fire engines to
enter Hall street and cross the park.
Since bicyclists have come to use the road
along the side of the park, thr have
found It decidedly more c-onveftlenr'to take
the side path rather thakover the
regular croesing. Bicyclist* are Wkrm In
condemnation of the rough crossing, and
claim that if it was put in proper condi
tion for bicycle® to cross there would lie
lees liability tot accidents to occur.
IN FAVOR OF COAST DEFENSE.
(Continued from Eighth rage.)
has no apprehension, because with the
present force of infantry and cavalry, to
gether with the well equipped armory at
the barracks, it would be quite possible
to hold a large untrained force at bay,
“The department armory Is supplied with
about 100 guns," he said, "among them be
ing Winchester and Springfield repenting
rifles and, also, repealing shot guns. There
is also a number of swords. H is a rule
of the Police Commissioners to keep 2,000
rounds of ammunition constantly on hand
at thp barracks, so that in case of an un
expected call, an armed force can be dis
patched to any part of the city on very
short notice.
“Of course. It cannot be told Just what
changes would be made in case the mili
tary are called away. There Would he
some changes by the commissioners, no
doubt, probably In keeping more men at
the barracks or some other method which
would Insure the best of service in protect
ing both life and property. Without
doubt the present organization of the force
and the arms, ammunition and horses nt
hand, Is amply sufficient, in my Judgment,
to successfully contend with all ordinary
disturbances. But our tactics wou'd not
be to allow men to accumulate in squads
for any unlawful purpose; we would be
likely to hear something of any Intended
organisation of winy class to violate the
law, and our move would tie to disperse
them. If, however, a street should bn
blockaded, we can turn out a force of
cavalry on short order and do effective
work.”
Ohlfs Maguire says that in the fire de
partment there are one or two men who
desire to volunteer. This department is
looked upon also as a home guard, nnd
Mie chief slates It Is his belief that In case
of necessity the men can be called on to
do temporary police duty.
If any of the firemen do enlist, however,
they will have the assurance that on re
turning their Old Jobs will be given them
if Chief Maguire's recommendation can
secure them. In speaking of the matter
he was sanguine that the fire commission
ers would view the enlisting of the men
generously, and extend them every consist
ent encouragement. He believes holding
their places for then* would be nothing
more than a Just recognition of the sacri
fices they may be called upon to make, and
for which something more than what is
received from the government should be
offered.
A spirit of patriotism is being shown
by the men at headquarters, who have
done as many others in hoisting the flag
over their building. 'Not only this, but in
order to keep thoroughly posted on the
course events take, the men have put up a
bulletin board cm which to keep informa
tion for themselves nnd their, friends.
The belief seems to be. hotrevef, that
few If any of either the police or firemen
will leave their places to enlist in the gov
ernment service. It is pretty safe, how
ever, to say that the commissioners of
both departments would be liberal with
the men who wanted to leave. While of
course It Is not probable their salaries
would be cotHinued during their absence,
the vacant positions might be filled pro
visionally, and when the old men return,
it would be to find a welcome to the de
partment they left. Such an understand
ing will likely be tacit, as It Is not prob
able the commissions will take any action
in the shape of binding the city to fulfill
such A promise.
In the City Court.
In the City Court yesterday Charley
Doyle, convicted of larceny from the
house, was given a sentence of $25 or six
months. Ben Hollington, convicted of the
same offense, was sentenced to pay a fine
of $25 or serve twelve months. Robert
Scott, convicted of assault and battery,
was sentenced to pay a fine of S3O or spend
six months on the chain-gang.
