Worse than McNamara—that’s what
Burke is.
In one of those rag time games, with
variations, the freshly laundried Tour
ists were run to cover again. Score
4 to 1.
It is well that Mr. Boyer provides
thhff- variations to relieve the te
dious rap and run tactics by which
games are generally won or lost.
The little specialty yesterday was
In the shape of a grand ensemble of
the pale athletes at the home plate
In the sixth round in which argumen
tation took the place of earnest physi
cal endeavor.
The Box Car King explained after
the game that he put Master Spratt
out of the yard for trying to show
(him up. But the populace were on to
him without Mr. Spratt's assistance.
With no one out and Cobb on first the
Spratt evinced his intention of as
sisting Cobb to second by busting two
fouls. It was the next ball which
caused the trouble.
Mr. Thatcher Hung it high and Jack
let it go by, planting himself firmly
for the next one across. To his sur
prise, and even that of the small local
enthusiasts looking through the east
ern port holes, Mr. Burke croaked
"strike.” Jack was speechless, but
he acted on the spur of his anger.
He tossed his bat into the clouds aaid
staggered over to the bench, only to
return the next moment and call his
clansmen together for a pow wow with
the winter box oar tourist.
Concerted yells of play ball from
the bleachers prevented listening ones
in the grand stand from hearing what
was actually said during this delay.
Cutting out some of the more unpar
liamentary phrases this is what took
place:
What XVnn Said nt Home.
“What-t-t-t? Put me out of de
game? For wh'at? Go wan, yer big
bum. What dy want ter do, call us
all out on strikes?”
"Now, don't get excited. Jack. I
don’t want to hurt you boys feelings.
I’ll be easy with you as I can. You
fellow mustn’t push me so close. Give
me a little air. How can a fellow
work in a game where you are al
ways trying to show him up? 1 ain’t
done nothin’ to you as ’ud make you
act this way."
“But don't y' see Ihis ere is a close
game? We’s gettin' all the worst of
It."
"Yes, that 'ere ball was two feet
obove 'is head," interposed Coca Kofa.
" 'En nearly ez high ez that ere hat
he flung," reiterated Mr. Corn Cobb.
“ ’Veil, I tink you should vatch a
leetle nearer, sometimes, esheoially ven
zat ball go above de top. I ’vlll peetch
myself termorrow, 'en I vant you to
tex notice,” added Polehow.
lulled n Patrolman.
All the while Burke wAs back pedal
ing away from the advancing excited
ones. As they closed In all sides he
glanced hopelessly towards the home
players’ bench, hut none would go to
his aid. He finally spied a blue-coated
officer and yelled lustily for assistance,
while the bleachers groaned with
laughter.
After Spratt had been escorted from
the field there were still several balk
ers, and the game was delayed several
minutes longer while Burke talked over
'the matter with them. The athletes
finally accepted the treaty, -and bland
Mr. Burke salaamed to the bleacher
and grand.
Had Tlielr Clothes Soaked.
The Tourists soaked their clothes
after the game Thursday afternoon,
and appeared to much better advant
age during the last contest. Not that
they did not have these clothes on.
They were In full attire.
This wetting of their clothes seemed
to dampen their ipowder, and few
safeties weie fired through the Infield.
Engel was the only man to raise the
dust with a real healthy wallop, nnd
that did little good for the Tourist
cause.
Truth Is. those Tourists have had so
many troubles recently they are in a
bad state of nervous repair.
Smash-ail in I olmnhln.
While riding to the ball yard In Co
lumbia recently, in the state bus, thev
collided with a street car. ami several
of the best men were badly scarred.
They went out and lost the game.
During their last trip to Jacksonville
Capt. Spratt slipped off the running
board of a trolley car, and again ih°
Tourists lost. These trolleys seem to
be linked with the destiny of the
champions. They don’t know what will
happen next.
At the fashionable hour of high noon
yesterday a trolley car knocked out a
sand wagon In full view of the nervous
Tourists. From their hotel they tOw
and heard the crash, and several hiked
up stairs and hid from the hoo-dou.
Baiting Order Mewed Around.
Riding in the trolley car at the time
of the smash were Leon O’Levy, the
score-card man. The Jolt knocked one
wheel off the wagon, and caused the
negro driver to make a Steve Brudle to
the asphalt. O’Levy had Just ob
tained the Augusta line-up and was
about to go away and print It when
the collision slewed the list of names
out of gear and spilt the piece of paper
they were written on.
O’Levy went back for another list,
but the Tourists were too scared to
think or talk Intelligently, so the
acute-card man had to compile the
RECORD EXTRA INNING
GAME AT CHARLESTON.
: Gulin nnd Highlanders Went Seven
teen Inning* to a Tie.
Charleston, S. C„ Aug. 12.—After
battling for seventeen innings.
Charleston and Macon came to a
standstill at the ball park this after
noon, and confessed that neither could
win. Dark clouds were coming up,
and Mace and Kelly, after a short
consultation, decided to tall the game
a draw.
It was a superb contest, and a rec
ord breaker. Both teams seemed to be
wild to win and there was no kicking,
no wasted time.
To-morrow afternoon the park will
not be able to hold the fans, and the
game will be called at 2:30 o'clock in
order that there may be ample time
for the decisive struggle to be ended
one way or the other. The News and
Courier will to-morrow editorially call
upon the fans to attend the game and
encourage the players.

XVas a Pretty Game.
Up to the time that Mr. Spratt used
the unlaundried language to Mr. Burke
the contest was a beaut. The curtain
raiser was but a stroll for the Path
finders. Mr. McLaughlin was setting
a hot pace up to the third, when he was
temporarily bereft of the sense of lo
cation and passed Dusty Miller to Mid
dlebrooks. Dusty dusted to second on
Roth’s neat sacrifice, scoring on
Thatcher’s drive to left field. With
Thatcher on second King whiffed. Lit
tle Casino was not as lucky in walking
as usual.
Tied Mutter* I p.
In the fourth the visitors slipped into
a tie. Spratt went the press agent
rout#, and lived off of someone else
on down to second. Kennedy flew out
to second. Wilson hit hard to Miller,
who had little time to recover, and
overthrew Andy Itoth at first, forget
ting that Mull was tied in a knot on
the bench. Spratt scored on the over
throw .
Scored Annin In the Sixth,
The visitors grew- desperate along
towards the sixth, and wound things
up dangerously near a run. Cobb hit
to short and was thrown out ten feet,
making the slide to first. Burke re
ceived one of the pebbles from Cobb’s
careening form In his eye, and as he
did not see the play called Cobb safe.
It was then that Spratt struck out
and the convention was held at the
home plate. After the troubles had
blown over. Sandy Engel swiped one
over Yanry's head for two sacks.
Cobb misjudged Yancy's throwing
arm and tried for the joy gum. Bill
Oyler relayed the ball and Cobb was
soon being ping-ponged between home
and third, Miller finally stabbing him
viciously in the spinal column. Then
they gave up.
Soelnl fuvorlte on Deck Again.
The Social Favorite, fully recovered
from his severe attack of water on
the knee pan, pried open the sixth with
a neat single over second base. He
stole second after Oyler flew out to
shot. Yancy whiffed and Miller walk
ed. McLaughlin let loose a wild throw
and Holmes scored, Miller was caught
trying to make the home plate also.
In that lucky eighth those Path
finders got together and by excellent
head work worked out two scores. Bill
Oyler lead with the noodle business,
receiving a sharp rap on his port ear,
which sent him careening to first.
But this happened after Truby had
walked and stole second. Burt fanned.
Holmes again singled to left field,
scoring Truby and going to second on
the throw to the plate. After Wee
Willie had limped out of sympathy
with his ear, he got mad and stole
second while Holmes was attempting
to assist in the double steal. Holmes
was caught at third. Oyler scored a
moment later on Yancy's single. The

SOME FAN FOOD
Complaints that have been received
here of the inefficiency of Umpire
Burke have been looked on by patrons
of the game as the same story' always
told by players about an umpire, but
the exhibition yesterday was almost
farcical from the standpoint of umpir
ing. He is a rank homer, if there ever
was one. His worst exhibition was in
calling Cobb safe at first and a third
strike on Spratt.
Savannah fans do not like to see the
home, team win games with the assist
ance of a rank home umpire. Burke
could not make good in the Cotton
States and was shifted over here.
Charleston and Macon broke the ex
tra inning game record yesterday by
going seventeen innings. Macon did
most of the hitting, but could do no
better than tie.
Oyler’s head work in the eighth was
the prettiest seen here in a long while.
If Savannah takes the double-header
to-day it will be the first time this feat
has been accomplished this year. The
Pathfinders -always win the first game,
but do not seem able to keep up the
winning pace through the last one.
Columbia keeps pegging away, and
at this rate will make the pennant
winner hustle 'to keep in front.
The Social Favorite got half the hits
credited to the locals yesterday. We
need him on the line up with this kind
of stick work.
Miller's error was excusable. The
throw was a little high, but with a
little taller man on the first bag It
would have been different.
Truby’s error was made out In the
glass, after a long run. He made a
pretty knockdown, but the grass in
terfered with his fielding 'the ball.
Y’ancy’s slide into the third sack
yesterday' was spectacular, even
though he was tagged.

Hall Game Between Meldrim and
On)ton.
The notice in yesterday’s Morning
News about the Meldrim baseball team
going to Guyton to play the second
team of Guyton was a mistake, as the
Meldrim boys intended going to Guy
ton Thursday to play the game with
the first team there that was forfeited
to the Meldrim boys in Guyton Aug. 6
by Guyton not wishing to play on
the wet ground. Last Thursday the
railroad offices did not close, as was
expected, and a number of Meldrim
boys could not go on that account:
therefore, the game has been postponed
until Aug. 20.

COUNTER CONTESTS ON TO DAY

from Tourists.
Another one of those two for one
events will be pulled off on the east
side this afternoon, and by to-night
the Pathfinders hope to be two games
higher in the standing, pushing the
Gulls hard for second place.
The question is asked daily "Is there
a chance for Savannah to win the pen
nant?” Certainly there is a chance,
however slender it may be. but with
a record breaking run of wins Savan
nah can easily land in first place yet.
The first game this afternoon will be
called at 2:30 sharp. This early hour is

there will be the second annual tour
nament for the lawn tennis champion
ship of Georgia in singles and doubles
on the courts of the Log Cabin Club
near Macon.
Mr. C. V. Angier, Jr., of Atlanta,
will defend the title in singles, and
Messrs. C. V. Angier. Jr., and S. C.
Williams of Atlanta will defend the ti
tle in doubles.
The title in singles is represented by
a handsome twenty-inch sterling silver
challenge cup. which has been won
once by Mr. Angier, and which must
be won three times to be retained.
Judging from the list of expert play
ers from all parts of the country who
have sent in their names to Chairman
Taylor of the Tournament Committee,
it is probable that the above named
champions will have to do some good
work to hold their ground. It was
stated by Mr. Taylor to-day that he
had assurance that there would be en
tries from Montgomery, Atlanta, New
Orleans, Augusta, Rome, Nashville,
Birmingham, Savannah, Columbus,
and perhaps from other places.

test for the state championship in sin
gles and doubles, which has been held
in Macon, the first having been held
last year. The Log Cabin Tennis Club
which has a membership of 180, has
made preparations for the coming
event. During the past week the local
players, about ten in number, who ex
pect to enter the contest, have been
playing handicap tournaments, though
the excessive rains have interfered with
their plans. In all counting, both
those who will enter from the local club
and the visitors, Chairman Taylor
stated to-day that there would be ap
proximately twenty-five entries. The
following is the programme for the
week, which begins Monday, Aug. 15,

Ellaville Defeated America*.
Ellaville, Ga„ Aug. 12.—One of the
most interesting games of the season
was played on the Ellaville diamond
this afternoon. The Americus team
played well, but were never able to
reach the home plate. The home team
deserve special praise, as they put up
an errorless game. The score was 11 to
0 in favor of the home team.
RACES AT HARLEM.
Chicago, Aug. 12.—Results at Har
lem:
First Race—Six furlongs. Brand New,
16 to 5, won, with Fly Lady. 40 to 1,
second, and Agnes Brennan, 11 to 5,
third. Time 1:13 3-5.
Second Race —Short course, steeple
chase. Oliver Me., 8 to 5, won, with
nings it would be a hard matter to fin
ish both contests.
Savidge and Staley will pitch for
Savannah and Lucas and Polehow for
Augusta. Staley has not worked in
over two weeks, but he is in good
shape, and has been working out each
day so as to be in shape.
Mullaney will probably be able to play
in both games to-day, which means
much added strength.
The last two games between the
Tourists and the Pathfinders have been
lagging throughout, which seems to be
largely the fault of Umpire Burke, who
is himself very slow. Unless a little
haste is exercised this afternoon it is
hardly probable that both games will
be finished.
