THE AMEEICES DAILY TDiES-RECOltDER: SATURDAY JULl 2
1891.
HADN'T STUDIED RULES
AND THEY’D BE BLANKED IF THEY
PLAYED AT ALL.
A 15Ir Crowd. Much Kicking Hut no Bull
Tuterdfty - LeMburg'i Boy* Wouldn't
May and Plumb the Rale* for They
Didn't Know Them.
There was a good crowd, a lot of fuss
and still more kicking at the baseball
grounds in this city yesterday—but
there was no ball.
Leesburg and Americus were to have
played and the state of things told of
above will best be understood by telling
of the whole story.
The Leesburg players arrived at 2*13
yesterday afternoon, accompanied by
about twenty friends, some of them
young ladies. The baseballists were
taken in hand by the Americus boys
and accompanied to the Hawkins
House,where they were the guests of the
Americus club. By 3:30 the players and
spectators were moving the grounds.
The clubs put up these teams:
Leesburg—Joe D. Jackson, captain;
J. B. Pruett, Julian Forrester, Henry
Long, Ernest Walden, Jesse It. Jackson,
J. A. Hammond, Will Smith, Crawford
Maxwell.
Americus—Berl Ritter, captain; Ar
thur Williford, Walter Crisp, Paul Bos-
worth, Ike Solomon, Lucius Kimbrough,
Jim Pope, Tim Killen, Whit Smith.
The captains agreed to some irregu
larities in the grounds, to the use of the
1891 rules, to the umpire and scorers.
Americus had choice of place under the
rules and took the field. A few minutes
after 4 the game started, with Graham
Forrester as umpire and E. B. Martin
and E. H. Griffith scorers.
Williford was in the box and Ritter
was catching him. Henry Long was at
the bat for Leesburg. He ’went to first
on balls. Joe D. Jackson came next to
the plate. He struck out, leaving Long
on first. Pruett next faced Williford.
He made two strikes, two balls were
called and then the third strike was
called. Long was on first, and while the
catcher failed to hold the ball, Pruett
was declared out, under.this rule:
"The batsman is out if, while the first base
be occupied by a base runner, three strikes be
called on him by the umpire, except when
two men are already out."
The Leesburg men didn’t understand
how Pruett came to be out and they and
their friends blocked the home base so
that the umpire had to call “time,”
which followed in a very few seconds af
ter Pruett was called l“out” After
“time” was called the Americus catch
er threw the ball to first base. It was
muffed and thrown back over the catch
er’s head, Henry Long coming in for
Leesburg, even though time had been
called. The rule under which the decis
ion was made was shown to be orthodox
and Long was sent back to third, bis run
not scoring because he made it after
time had been called.
“Play,” was ordered, and a ball was
given the next Leesburg man, who was
at the bat in regular order. “Time 1
was called again for the catcher to put
on his mask and fix bis shoe. During
this time Long stood about ten feet from
third, where he was when “play ball 1
was once more given. Another ball
went to the bat Long still had not
touched third since “time” and “play
ball” was given, so he was called “out”
under this rule:
"The base runner is out if, when the um
plre calls "play" after any suspension ol the
game, he falls to return to nnd touch the
base he occupied when '‘time” was called l»e<
fore touching the next base."
That brought a big kick.
Leesburg’s captain said his mon didn’t
know the rules and couldn’t play by
them. He wanted Long to remain on
third and allowed his chances of scoring,
The Americus boys protested. The um
pire held his decision.
There was much guying and a hurried
consultation among tlio players. Lees
burg started off the grounds.
Two propositions wero then made
them by the Americus boys: The first
was that Long would l>o allowed to hold
his place on third; all men thereafter to
be subject to the rule; and the # gamo
would proceed. Then the umpire offered
to withdraw and the proposition was
made that the game bo started anew,
with Leesburg to choose the umpire.
Both of these were rejected.
It was announced to both nines that
“play” would be called in five minutes.
At the end of that time the call was
made. Some of the Leesburg players
had left the ground and the Americus
boys were so badly put out that they
didn’t show up. So the game was de
clared a draw, or “no game.”
That was the end. Leesburg’* men
claimed they couldn’t play under the
rules. Americus* player’s didn’t show
up to pass the required nine balls over
the home plate, so the game was drawn.
The people who had gathered wanted
to see ball played, but they were disap
pointed, except in so far as seeing a f w'
innings played by “scrubs” went to
satisfying them. It is probable that a
game will be arranged to take place be
tween Americus and Leesburg at Smith
ville next week.

He probably likes it better this morn

little folks were invited. Nothing was
left off that could have added to the
chidren’s pleasure and all who know
Mrs. W. P. Burt as an entertainer know
how the young gentlemen and the young

The above is the splendid programme
which was rendered at the grand con
cert at Glover's opera house last evening.
Of course Prof. Charles J. Wallace was
the bright particular star of the evening,
but there were other lesser luminaries
which did their part* equally well.
Prof. Wallace succeeded in proving
himself a musician of high order. A
piano or violin under his touch seoms
imbued with magic, so melodious is the
effect produced. The audience cheered
him frequently last evening.
The songs by the chorus, the quar
tettes and duets were all good, so good
in fact that it would have been hard for
one not extremely well up in matters
musical to|say which was the best,
A charming success was scored by
Miss Francis Bell by the rendition of her
solo. She delighted those who heard
her and soowed herself possessed of a
sweet, powerful and well trained voice.
Mr. K. D. Van IIooso has a tenor
voice that is rich and melodious. He
has it under good control and was highly
complimented on his solo.
The hit of the evening, if one could
judge from the applause, was Mr. Sam
Campbell's character songs. He was
encored repeatedly.
Of Mrs. Lamar it Is only necessary to
say that shodid her part with her usual
ability.
From the beginning until tlio last
number on the programme the audience
was all attention and there was no ono
there who was not sorry when the end
camo.

The patrons of The Times-Kecoiiheh
aro urged to pay promptly the bills
which are now due for subscription, ad
vertising and job work for the past
month. A newspaper has to pay its
labor the cash weekly, aud on the first
of the month It is necessary for all its
bills to be promptly collected.
The current expenses of The Times-
Recoiideii establishment aro about $50
per day, which must be paid every
Monday without fail or delay.
We are therefore compelled to press
collections; and while the small bills
that some owe may cause them to re
gard the matter as insignificant, these
small accounts aggregate several thou
sand dollars, which we are compelled to
collect promptly to meet our obligations.
A newspaper can’t run a week with
out money; so come tip to the captain's
oflicc and settle.

pretty littlo study for the philologist.
