King Kel and his tribe reached Sa
vannah from the jungles of Jay town
yesterday shortly after noon, but the
steady downpour of rain prevented the
playing of the first game of the series
between the Jays and the Pathfinders.
During the morning Dad had the
boys out for practice, and at that time
it looked as if it would be possible to
pull the game off. Shortly after noon
rain began falling and it was soon evi
dent that it would be impossible to
play.
When the King put in his appearance
he was armed with a nest of hits and
a broad smile. With him came all those
supporters of the pirate colors from
Jaytown: Jack Robinson, Reed, Wynne,
Dingle. Spring, Wontble, Nichols, Chap
pell, Suggs, Persons and McLaurin, and
the King swears by all of his varied
assortment of physiognomies that he
will take two out of the three from
Savannah.
King Looks Young Yet.
When he stepped out of the big bus
few realized th*at the dapper young
man with the ice cream suit was real
ly the great King Kelly. He was as
clipper as a spring sparrow, and Dad
Laßocque was a centenarian in com
parison with the youthful airs as
sumed by the cunning old chieftain of
the Jaytown squad.
“How many' men did you bring."
Dad asked as soon as Kelly had de
posited his bat Case and relaxed his
stage smile.
"Oh, I have four short stops coming
yet, with fourteen men already on hand,
and seven more pitchers to come. But
on the square, pal. I am hunting for
the fodder, and if you will just steer
me into the stall where I can get a
bit to chew on. I’ll tell you how we
are going to wallop you. Yes. yes, I
h‘ave a. bunch of hitters—hit the water
bucket. It does me good to see Sa
vannah again. 1 had the sore eyes in
Macon, but I believe that they will get
well here.”
The Jays will line up against the
Pathfinders this afternoon, and Dad
says he hates to do It, liut he will have
to mount to the top of the percentage
column over the top of the poor, in
offending Kelly's head, and will make
it three straights from his tribe.
After Saturday’s game, the line up
of the Savannah team will be changed.
Oyler will go to short stop, with Eggert
at third. Short has always been the
Kid s position, and he is glad of an op
portunity to be back there again.
Oyler will also be moved up in the
batting order, coming right behind Eg
gert. He has been hitting consistently,
and when he is not able to hit tlie ball
for a safety he usually gets his base
on bails. He crowds the plute, and
takes a long wait, and so far this sea
son leads the league on base on balls.
The King will probably pitch Eddie
Persons this afternoon, and if he does
Dad will go right back at him, and
put Sunny Jim Ittig in the box. Ittig
has not had a chance since he came
back from Jacksonville, but those who
heard of his excellent work there are
anxious to see him pitch. There was
some talk of Con Welch pitching the
first game with Jacksonville, but it is
hardly probable that Laßocque will let
this youngster work himself stale, not
only physically, but in the esteem of
the public, by pushing him forward on
every occasion, and giving him more
work than he is really entitled to.
The line up to-day will probably be
aa follows;
Savannah: Position. Jacksonville:
Ittig pitcher Persons
Kinsky catcher Robinson
Laßocque first base Reed
Bratton .second ba5e...... Wynne
Oyler short stop Dingle
Eggert third base Spring
Burt leftfield Nichols
Bay centerfleld Womble
Welsh ....rightfield Chappell
The game will be called promptly at
4:30 with Umpire McNamara officiat
ing.
All ministers will be admitted to the
grounds this afternoon and for the rest
of the season, free of charge. All they
are requested to do is to prestent their
cards at the gate.

nnd Free from Kicking.
Charleston, S. C., May 2.—Three
thousand baseball enthusiasts witness
ed the finest game that has been played
on the • local diamond in many years
to-day, and very naturally went crazy
when in the last half of the ninth in
ning, a Charleston man crossed the
rubber, for the first time in the game,
and won the day for the home team.
The game was characterized by its
cleanness and the entire absence c.f
kicking.. It was largely a battle of
the pitchers, and while there was
enough field work to keep the outfield
from dozing, the interest centered at
the home plate, and the greatest part
of the work was done by the batteries.

Tillman severely criticized ex-Presi

ed at the head of the delegation to
the State convention and Tillman was
also elected a delegate, receiving the
next highest vote.
dent Tommy will show flashes of his
old-time form when he steps into the
ring.
Those Yvho know Feltz and his pe
culiar-construction, physically, have
often wondered Yvhy he was not a
champion in his -class. There are few
men in the ring to-day who have the
courage that he has, and can take
more punishment. His chest bone is
abnormal, extending fully six inches
further doYvn than is usually the case,
and it is almost an impossibility to
knock him out, as has been proven
by his several years in the ring Yvith
out a single knockout against him.
McFadden is one of the shiftiest
youngsters on his feet ever seen ori
this side of the Rockies. They have

FIRED FOR COWARDICE.
Officer Missing When Wanted to
Arrest Channcey Groves.
Macon, May 2. —Patrolman Seigel
was arraigned before the Police Com
mittee of the board of aldermen, Wil
liams, Hopp and Chestney, to-night,
charged with cowardice, and was dis
charged from the force.
Some weeks ago Patrolman Mosely,
with whom Seigel was patrolling a
beat on Mulberry street, undertook to
arrest Chauncey Groves. Groves de
clined to submit and Moseley used his
club.
Quite a disturbance ensued on the
street, attracting a large crowd. Sei
gel disappeared during the racket and
charges of cowardice Yvere preferred.
The evidence to-night induced the
committee to believe the charges sus
tained and Seigel was dropped from
the police roll.
Chauncey Groves, with whom the
trouble occurred, is park keeper, and
charges were preferred again3t him
before the Public Property Committee,
Massee, Damour and Sloan. The com
mittee is badly split on the merits of
the case and no investigation has been
had. Chairman Massee declares him
self prejudiced in favor of the accused
and asserts there are no grounds for
an investigation, the case having been
ground through in Police Court. Sloan
and Damour take exactly opposite po
sitions and assert that an inquiry,
thorough, complete and searching,
should be made. Chairman Massee
will take no initiative steps looking to
a trjal, and Yvhen the board of aider
men meets to-morrow- night the sub
ject will be brought to the attention of
that body in some manner.
The termination may become as in
teresting as was the inception.
CROWDS ON THE FIKE.
Visitors Like Niglit Scenes nt the Ex
position.
St. Louis. May 2.—When the first
regular day of the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition had drawn to a close a
flood of light from thousands of elec
tric bulbs that line the tops of the
main buildings illuminated the grounds
so that day almost continued.
Throngs of visitors began pouring
into the grounds early in the evening
in anticipation of the illumination fea
ture. Music of bands and falling wa
ters lent attraction to evening visitors.
The plaza became the central point of
interest, as the main exhibition build
ings close at dark. The illuminated
grounds are open, however, until 11
o'clock, so that visitors may enjoy the
"Pike," the waters and the music.
Official announcement of the total
number of persons who attended the
opening of the exposition on Saturday
will not be made known until the count
has been verified beyond question, ac
cording to President Francis. The
count was completed to-day by Chief
E. N. White of the department of ad
missions, and submitted to Director of
Admissions Norris B. Gregg, who, in
turn, submitted it to President Francis.
President Francis said that, owing to
the great interest manifested through
out the country because of guessing
contests, every precaution would be
taken to avoid a mistake, and the sub
mitted total would again be verified,
and probably announced to-morrow.
