f 6 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. LAST NIGHT'S CONCERT Was In Every Reaped the Grand Treat Which Was Promised.

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. THEY AltK MENTIONED UEItE.
