Umpire, Thomas Connors.
To the fans who have suffered with
breathless expectancy the opening of
the league season here wall come ease
ment this afternoon at 4:30 o'clock.
At that hour Umpire Thomas Con
nors will announce the names
of the opposing batteries in
the opening contest of the
South Atlantic Baseball League be
tween Savannah and her old time
rival. Charleston.
Although the contest will not be be
tween sons of the native soil, the sen
timent involved will be the same, and
Savannah rooters will never be more
fervent in their support of the colors
of the home club than they will be
when lined up against Charleston.
There will be some formalities,
necessarily, attendant upon such an
important function as that which is
scheduled to take place at the reno
vated ball park. These little ceremonies
will be the sauce for what Is to be
served to the fans later. There will be
comfortable leather cushions to relieve
the tedium of well-seasoned benches,
and plenty of refreshing things com
monly served at games, all combined,
to keep the fans in full voice during
the entire game.
The Sea Gulls have already taken
their flight still further southward
from their Southern home. They are
strong of wing. They are courageous
of heart, and have at their head a
worthy chieftain. From their marshy
lairs they come backed by the same
intensity of sentiment for victory as
was manifested when old Sumter first
spoke In days that are now almost for
gotten. They realize as well as we
that no game during the entire season
will carry with it so much prestige,
and no effort will be spared to defeat
the host.
Anhenhack Sayn He Will Win.
In a letter written here a few days
ago, Happy Eddie said he felt that he
was obliged to win the first game here.
He had been doing these things for
some five years, and he did not want
to break his record at this late day.
It is something of a habit with Ed
now, and Pap says he will undertake
to cure him of it, or it might develops
into a disease.
Asa hitting proposition, Ashenback
has failed to secure a team that will
star. In Donnelly and Hempleman he
has two fairly hefty boys with the
willow. Either of these are discount
ed by Laßocque, Burt or Bratton. In
Childs he has a pitcher who has won
more or less of a reputation while
trying out in the Southern League.
He is a big fellow, with good speed,
but has never signed a contract which
would swing him up among the soli
taires of the major organizations, and
he has had every opportunity. Johnny
Welch is about half the size of Childs,
with little speed, but the most teasing
ball that a loose Jointed swat artist
ever swung at. As Savidge says,
Johnny has a SIO,OOO head and a pea
nut arm. Charleston may hit freely,
but not always safely.
Conipnrinonn >ot Accessary.
There is no necessity for making
comparisons at the first bag. No first
baseman in this or the Southern
League, will make any better show
ing than Dad, both in fielding and at
the bat. At second Eddie has Hem
pleman, who seems to be a special pet
of his. Ashenback has had him for
five years. He hits close up to the
300-mark. But Hempleman will have
to face one of the fastest fielding and
hardest hitting basemen in the league
in Bratton. In his five years playing
professional ball Bratton has never hit
less than "00, and has never fielded
less than 900. He is one of the high
est-priced men in the league.
Eggert’s slow arm may not put him
in the same rank with Dahlen or Par
ent, but he has plenty of speed to get
them to the bags, and is one of the
brainiest men in the business. Eggs is
an old-timer who is always coming,
and the longer he plays the better he
gets. Ashenback has Mitchell at short.
Little Is known of him in real cham
pionship games, but be is reputed to

Umpire* Thomas Connors, who ar

j ing the practice of the Pathfinders,
| and was very much impressed with
! the showing they made.
From all that I have seen and
j heard," said Mr. Connors, "this will
be one of the fastest minor leagues in
the country, and I see no reason on
earth why it should not prove a paying

Mr. Connors is a man of several

be clever enough in fielding, though a
weakling at tht bat.
Os ier'* I lever I’lns Ing.
Kid Oyler will play all around any
third baseman in the league if he
keeps up the pace set In the exhibi
tion games. He would be ready for
big league company now If he was as
far advanced with the bat as he is in
fielding his position. Smith, who will
play the third one for Ash is also a
youngster, and suffers from the same
weakness that Oyler does.
The outfields are about evenly match
ed. Burt Is hitting like a fiend now,
and if Donnelly keeps up with him he
will be a wonder. Webster will take
the right garden more for his hard hit
ting and fast base running.
The Programme for To-<lny.
Shortly after sunrise Dad will hustle
his crew out of bed, and after a light
breakfast will give them all a little
light exercise. After the work is over
all will dress and wait for the arrival
of the Gulls. Ashenback said he would
reach Savannah early Tuesday morn
ing. but did not say whether he was
coming by rail, water or ankle express.
He is expected, however, at near the
hour of 10.
At 2 o'clock the parade will form at
the Screven House. This will be com
posed of six carriages containing the
players, headed by the First Regi
ment Band in a band wagon. The pa
rade will wind up at the park shortly
after 3 o'clock, and from 3:30 to 4 So
the band will give a concert. At 4.15
Ed will make his opening speech to
the bleachers, and at 4:30 Umpire
Thomas Connors will call the boys to
arms.
Mayor Will Pitch First Hall.
Mayor Herman Myers will pitch the
first ball across the plate, and If it
is a little wild, all rooters are request
ed to keep quiet when the umpire calls
it a strike. The Mayor may be a lit
tle out of form as many years have
intervened since he was a swat ar
tist.
Seated on a specially raised dais, Tom
Halllgan, king of the rooters, will di
rect the bleacher chorus to-day. Good
voices will lie In demand, and the
proud possessors will be given front
seats.
Crowd Will Be Immense.
From all indications the crowd to
day will be the largest that has ever
assembled at the Bolton Street Park.
The seating capacity is about 1,500
persons, and this will be taken up ear
ly. If the crowd is too large to be ac
commodated outside the bleachers,
grand stand and boxes, the overflow
will be turned Into extreme left field,
and a patrol put on to keep the crowd
back.
Business Manager MeCammon has
arranged to have the box seat reserva
tions made at Luttimore's, on Brough
ton street. The boxes will be sold by
coupon, and persons desiring them can
have their seats reserved from them
there. The box seats will be 50 cents
extra.
Practiced in n Wind Storm.
Dad had the boys out for a final
practice yesterday afternoon, and de
spite the fact that a heavy gale swept
across the field, all worked hard, and
some fast work resulted. All of the
pitchers were given turns in the box.
Big Dan Burt was hitting like a
fiend, and if he can lambast the sphere
as hard to-day as he did yesterday Ed
die will have a hard time keeping up
his record of landing the first game of
the season. Dad Is getting his eye
closer and closer on the sphere every
day, and if he doesn't win many a
game this year with his stick the fans
will be disappointed.
Ogle Is n Whirlwind.
Ogle, the raw recruit from Washing
ton. is a whirlwind in the box. He
had on a uniform for the first time
this season yesterday, and his speed
was marvelous. He Is a youngster,
and green, but he has big league tim
ber In him.
He is a plumber by trade, and after
sending smoking hot ones over for
thirty minutes yesterday someone
asked if he was not afraid he would
ruin his arm. - "Nope," he said, “I have
pitched six games a week, and worked
all mornings in the shoo. A little
thing like that doesn't make my arm
hurt. I am used to it.” Dad was
nearly tickled to death at the way the
boy handled the ball, and says that
with a little coaching he will make a
second Mathewson.

FLOGGING WIThTvVATER.
Mow llie Hone Was Substituted for
the Lnsli in Oregon.
From the Portland Oregonian.
The cold-water cure has recently been
adopted at the Oregon State Peniten
tiary with apparently satisfactory re
sults. For all practical purposes flog
ging has been abandoned. No rule has
been established prohibiting flogging,
and if a case should be presented in
which all other punishment failed the
lash might be resorted to, but this is
a contingency not deemed probable.
The cold-water cure has been found
effective in some very obstinate cases.
The cold-water remedy consists of
stripping the prisoner to the skin and
turning upon him a stream of cold
water from an ordinary garden hose.
The infliction of the punishment is not
as brutal as flogging, it leaves no scars
or permanent injuries, and the punish
ment ends the moment the water is
turned off. A prisoner who has been
subjected to the punishment once wants
no more of it, though he may he smil
ing within a few moments after the
ordeal is over. Gov. Chamberlain and
the prison authorities a:e highly pleased
over the result of the experiments, for
they have been desirous of abolishing
t£e whip.
Only one prisoner has been flogged
during this administration. That man
was a trusty and had run away, and
upon being captured was given the
penalty always imposed in such cases
up to that time. Since then two pris
oners have been punished with the cold
water remedy. One of them was a big,
burly negro. When he came to the
prison he was assigned to work in the
shops, but refused to obey orders. He
asserted that he didn’t have to work
and wouldn't work. He was taken to
the bathroom, stripped and stood in a
corner. The first spurt of water from
the hose brought out a shriek that was
evidence of the effectiveness of the
remedy. After trying for half a min
ute to dodge the stream of cold water,
the man gave up and began to beg and
make promises. The punishment end
ed, he went to work and has given no
further trouble.
The other prisoner subjected to the
water cure was a white man. For sev
eral months he had been giving trouble,
and seemed to find enjoyment in dis
obeying rules, even when he gained
nothing by it. Small penalties did no
good, and he was finally warned that
another offense would bring severe
consequences. A few days later he
deliberately violated an important reg
ulation and was sent to the bathroom.
He began to beg before the water
struck him, and before a pailful of
water had been used he was com
pletely subdued. Before he had dressed
again he was laughing over the pun
ishment, but his subsequent conduct
has proved that he doesn't intend re
ceiving a second dose of water cure.
There are men in the Oregon peni
tentiary who bear flogging scars that
they will carry to their graves. It is
but fair to say that the scars were not
received during this administration.
Some of the men thus punished are
still unconquered and are perhaps more
vicious and more desperate because
of the method of Inflicting pain. Many
a prisoner has sworn that If he ever
gets an opportunity he will take the
fife of the officer who laid the lash
across his back. Flogging was de
grading to both the prisoner and the
man who imposed the punishment.
The prisoner was stripped and
bound and flogged until, in many
instances, the blood flowed down their
back. Not so with the water cure.
The prisoners are not bound nor cut
and bruised. The cold-water cure
leaves the offending prisoner with a
cleaner body and apparently a more
peaceful mind.
Mrs. David Thomas, residing at 545 Broad street, August, Ga., says:
“Doan's Kidney Pills have done more for me than any other remedy
I ever used for backache and kidney trouble, from which I have been
a great sufferer for years. My trouble seemed to be right across the
small of my back, and the dull aching pain was so severe at times as to
make me helpless and unable to get about to attend to my household
duties. I was not able to go to bed and get a good night’s rest, and
could not rise from a chair without taking hold of something to sup
port myself. The kidney secretions were dark, contained sediment,
and when left to stand became thick and had a bad odor. I used a
great mqjiy remedies but none gave me relief until I got a box of
Doan's Kidney Pills. They benefited me from the first. The use of
two boxes made me feel better in every' way, the backache left me
I and the action of the kidneys became normal. I attribute the cure en
tirely to Doans Kidney Pills.”

DON’TS FOR HORSES.
From Our Four-Footed Friends.
Don’t ask me to "back’’ with my
blinders on. lam afraid to.
Don't lend me to some animal who
has less sense than I have.
Don’t think because I am a horse
that ironweeds and briars won’t hurt
my hay.
Don’t be so careless of my harness
as to find a great sore on me before
you attend to it.
Don’t run me down a steep hill, for
if anything should give way I might
break your neck.
Don’t whip me when I get fright
ened along the road, or I will expect
it next time and maybe make trou
ble.
Don’t think because I go free under
the whip I don’t get tired. You would
move up if under the whip.
Don’t put my blind bridle so that it
irritates my eyes, or so leave my fore
lock that it will tie in my eyes.
Don’t hitch me to an iron post or
railing when the mercury is below
freezing; I need the skin on my
tongue.
Don’t keep my stable very dark,
for when I go into the light my eyes
are injured, especially if snow is on
the ground.
Don’t leave me hitched in my stall
at night with a big cob right where
I must lie down. I am tied and can
not select a smooth place.
Don’t forget to file my teeth when
they get Jagged, as I cannot chew my
food. When I get lean it is a sign my
teeth need filing.
Don’t make me drink Ice cold wa
ter nor put a frosty bit in my mouth.
Warm the bit by holding it for a half
minute against my body.
Don’t compel me to eat more salt
than I \4ant by mixing it with my
oats. I know better than any other
animal how much I need.
The Hold of tlie TnneeeMaary,
From the London Chronicle.
Trade has curious tradition. The
tailor, for example, continues to affix
those two unnecessary butons to our
coat cuff and would never dream of
dropping the buttons at the back of
our frock coat, though, as Sir Lucius
O’Trigger observed more than a cen
tury ago, "we wear no swords.” Does
any man want an umbrella cover?
Yet you will scarcely buy an umbrella
that has not to be denuded of that
strange encumbrance.
Somewhere, in some dim factory,
people are making umbrella covers that
few people want. The explanation
came from the elderly tradesman.
For fifty years he had been in the
trade. “In those days," he said, “the
cover was used when the umbrella was
new—and when it was very old. And
we can still work ’em off now on peo
ple who want to make a show.” Now
adays umbrellas are so cheap and
plentiful that the average man finds it
‘easier and less expensive to pick them
on sight. A cover is really super
fluous.
A New Damon nncl Pythian.
‘ From the London Chronicle.
From North Wales comes the ro
mantic story of a lifelong devotion,
begun in early boyhood, between two
men, and only ending in death at the
ripe age of 80 years.
Henry Price and Robert Ellis, when
boys, struck up a friendship, pledging
to stick to each other until death.
When young men they emigrated to
Australia, and lived and worked to
gether, come weal, come woe, for more
than fifty years.
Two years ago they both returned to
their native village of Rhosllanerchro
gog, in AVales, having each amassed
considerable wealth. This week Price
and Ellis died within twenty-four
hours of each other, both being over
80 years of age.
