A costly error on the part of Kinsky,
and the timely bunching of the vis
itors won for Macon yesterday after
noon by the score of 5 to 3 in one of
the most exciting, if not the snappiest,
game played here by the Pathfinders
this season.
Over a thousand faithfuls cheered
lustily when it was finally announced
just before the last bell
rang that Ralph Savidge would
pitch for Savannah, and all
through the game he pitched a win
ning game, while those who had sized
the big fellow up at first as a star of
the first magnitude, sat in almost
heartbreaking silence, and saw the
luck that sometimes favors unequally
turn favorably to the visitors.
In the three games that Savannah
has played at home she has presented
three pitchers that have not been
equaled by any of the visitors. Um
pire Thomas Connors said last night
that he believed the pitchers Savan
nah had put in the box were the best
he had ever seen in a minor organiza
tion, and perhaps Savidge is the best
of all with his superior experience.
Night before last Manager Laßoeque
asked Savidge nearly every thirty min
utes how his arm was getting along.
It was always the same reply, "Aw
fully sore.” Not until the last bell
rang did Dad finally decide to pitch
Savidge at all hazards, and as he
went into the box the big fellow re
marked, "I am going in with a broken
arm, but I’ll do, all I can.” That he
did this no one who saw the masterly
pitching will doubt.
Sloiv Practice by Visitors.
When the Highlanders went out for
their practice they evinced the fact
that they have been working on a dia
mond lightning fast, such as the one at
Macon is, and when they went for
ground balls they spilled errors by the
score. Fortunately they had few
ground hits to them during the game.
A cold wind was sweeping across the
diamond when Umpire Connors called
for play, but there was enough enthu
siasm to keep every one at fever heat.

the visitors, but he could not connect.
Smith flew out to center field. Du

HARMON WILL PITCH
IN SATURDAY’S GAME.
Star Soathpnvv of Savannah Will
Play With Pathfinder*.
Weyman Harmon has agreed to pitch
the game Saturday afternoon, and he
will don a Pathfinder uniform for that
day only.
Harmon has persistently refused to
sign a contract to play professional
ball, and only agreed to play Saturday
afternoon with the understanding that
he was not to have any remuneration,
but he goes into the game solely for
the sport, and to see what he can do in
fast company.
Those who have watched Harmon's
work have little doubt that he will
make good, and this will be one game,
at least, that Savannah will take from
the leaders.

made up of workingmen, their families
and friends.
There were hearty cheers when Mr.
Mellen said that he himself would never
strike, except to resent injustice, and
this none of his men need do while he
was in a position of authority. Among
other things Mr. Mellen said: "I be
lieve unions have accomplished much
good, but they are nevertheless not an
unmixed blessing to the laboring man.
“Divested of all claptrap, the union
is simply a means of averaging wages,
and an employer views it as such.
"The trouble with unionism Is its
intolerance. No one interested has
done more to promote the trust or com
bination, the larger corporation, than
organized labor. It has forced them
into existence for protection from ex
action.
"Given all your hot heads seek, and
there will be no one to employ you and
corporations must be run by the gov
ernment.
“Education and brains will outweigh
numbers and brawn. The spectacled
student is to be the general of future
armies.
"The rich man of to-day can accom
plish less than at any time in the his
tory of the world, and the restrictions
placed around him are growing greater
with every vear.
"My advice to you who have families
is to join your union and be always a
force for conservatism.”
