ture of the Season's Play.
With to-day's game at Jacksonville
between Macon and Jacksonville the
season of 1904 of the South Atlantic
League closes.
Perhaps no minor league ever form
ed has had such a successful first sea
son as has marked the championship
contest in this little six-club league.
The article of ball has been exception
ally good, the conduct of players above
reproach, the attendance far beyond
the fondest expectations and more than |
the ordinary number of young and i
promising players developed.
Savannah feels an especial pride in |
the league, as it was here that it was j
conceived and the actual work of or
ganization commenced. Some months
previous to the real work of organiza
tion a prospective league was discussed
in several cities. In August the actual
work was taken up through the sport
ing department of the Morning News.
Started Under Difficulties.
The preliminary work was slow and
tedious. In nearly every town the ob
stacle of losing independent teams the
season before had to be overcome. The
Jacksonville Baseball Association was
several thousand dollars behind. Au
gusta promoters were in the same boat
and in Savannah no one could be found
who was willing to go into the busi
ness.
Jacksonville was the first town to
respond in anything like a business
way. The scheme of forming a six
club league was heartily indorsed. Ma
con was the next to fall in line,
Charleston following close after, with
Mr. Charles W. Boyer the prospective
backer of the club there. The towns
remaining to be taken in were Au
gusta and Columbus, Ga.
A meeting was called to be held in
Savannah on Nov. 14. At that meet
ing Jacksonville was represented by
Col. Max Myerson, who acted as tem
porary chairman; Mr. J. B. Lucy and
Mr. Charles Chase. Charleston was
represented by Mr. C. W. Boyer, who
bore letters from Manager Passailaigue
of the street railway' and others. Macon
was represented by Mr. Felix Kohler,
Savannah was not represented, but Mr.
W. E. Reeves, who happened to be
present undertook the Savannah fran
chise. Columbus and Augusta were
represented by proxy.
The Formal Organization.
After the formal organization the
constitution and by-laws, which had
already been drawn up, were adopted
with but few changes. The election
SAVANNAH FOOTBALL TEAM BACK

Indications That Neither Harmon Nor Rossiter
Will Play.
Developments of the last week In
dicate that the Savannah footfall
team, which gave promise of being
stronger than ever before in Its his
tory, will suffer much in the baick
fleld by the loss of Weyman Harmon,
at left half and big Joe Rossiter at
right tackle.
With the two star ground gainers
of the .earn gone from the fast back

more serious loss.
Harmon’s broken arm precludes the
possibility of his playing, while Rossi

Chicago Man Has Won the Amateur Champion

Short Hills, N. J., Sept. 10.—The
amateur championship tournament of
the United States Golf Association,
which 'began last Tuesday, and end
ed to-day on the link* of the Baltusrol
Golf Club, was won by H. Chandler
Egan, of the Exmoor Country Club,
Chicago, eight up to six to play.
He defeated the young .Brooklyn
player, Frederick Herreshoff. who at

who was entered from the Ekwanok

When the play was over, the genera!
verdict was that the expected had

C. W. Boyer was elected president,
with the understanding that he would
see that Charleston had a backer. Mr.
Felix Kohler, vice president, and the
president of each of the clubs in the
league was elected a member of the
board of directors.
After the transaction of a few other
matters, an adjournment was in order.
In December it became apparent that
the league was about to fall through.
The Columbus club had failed to ma
terialize. Augusta was also backward
and Savannah seemed to be hopeless
lv out of it, Mr. Reeves and his asso
ciates having failed to meet the re
quirements.
A meeting was called to be held here
on Jan. 9. At that meeting the final
details were perfected and the league
as it stands to-day was crys
falized. Macon and Jacksonville were
represented by the same gentlemen
who were present at the first meet
ing. Mr. Ashenback represented
Charleston; J. Con Strouthers, Augusta,
and J. J. Grim attended in the interest
of Columbia, the Columbus franchise
having been transferred to that city
after several ineffectual attempts had
been made to interest Columbus ball
lovers.
How Savannah Got In.
All had plenty of backing except Sa.-
vannah. Unforeseen accidents made it
impossible for those who originally held
the franchise to put up the backing,
and it was turned back to the league.
It was then that the proposition was
made to allow President Boyer to ac
cept the Savannah franchise.and in con
sideration of that, to reduce his salary
from 51. 500 to SHOO. This proposition
met with the approval of all, and Mr.
Boyer was elected. Since that time all
know how smoothly matters have gone.
In ball players the league has been
unusually fortunate. It drew largely
from the Cotton States and Southern
League. The remainder of the men
were drawn from the independent
teams throughout the Eastern and
Northern states.
■What Hie League Promises.
The league has been bountifully
blest with good pitchers, the slab
artists comparing most favorably with
those in the Southern. In fact many
Southern League pitchers which join
ed the South Atlantic forces failed to
make good. Notable among these
were Cy Torrence, Wild Bill Clarke
and some who finished the season,
but who were far from being among
the top notchers.
With the success that has attended
the opening season the league now
faces a season of promise financially
and fast ball playing. There is no
longer a tendency on the part of play
ers to hold back in the fear that the
league is but for a day, and already
players of national fame are begin
ning to cast their eyes 'this way, and
next year will find several notables
playing or managing teams In this cir
cuit.
Many Changes In Teams.
At the commencement of the season
Macon, unquestionably, had the best
team. At the wind up Savannah was
easily the best. So much for the en
couragement in a financial way which
Induced the managements of the teams
to take on higher salaried and more
experienced men. Out of the original
twenty-one men signed by Savannah
only four finished the season with the
club. Two of these were pitchers.
The constitution prescribes that the
annual meeting of the league shall be
held within ten days after the dose
of the championship season. In ac
cordance with this the meeting will be
held in Savannah on Sept. 20 at Presi
dent Boyer's office.
affect him, and friends say it is high
ly Improbable that he will be able
to play, at least before the latter part
of the season.
Prank Mclntire announced at the
close of last season that he would not
be In the game this year, and it is
probable that this place will be filled
by Mitchell, or some other candidate.
Mitchell played a star game at right
tackle last year the few times he was
in the game, and it is 'believed he
will keep this place up to the stand
ard.
Bob Kennedy, who coached the Flor
ida Seminary team last year, will prob
ably be a candidate for a position on
the team. Capt. Cope has not yet
announced when the practices would
begin.
The weeding-out process brought the
big field of 133 down to Egan and
Herreshoff for a final round of 3
holes to-day. The report of the game
in detail shows that the Chicago man
got into playing stride far too swift
for his more youthful opponent and
the first half of the match was over
whelmingly in Egan's favor, as he
was nine up at the eighteenth hole.
For the first two holes of the sec
ond round Herreshoff played an even
game with Egan, halving both, but
Egan won the next. The play was
steady until the end at the twelth hole,
which was won by Egan 3*to 4. This
gave him the match, eight up and six

A Fast Triple Was Palled Oil by
Savarese, Harms and Howard-
Small Crowd Witnessed the Don

for the Benefit of the Fireman
Kaine Fund—Both Contests Were
Exciting.
The Y. M. C. A. team won both
of the ball games with the C. L. A.
in a double header yesterday after
noon. The games were played for the
benefit of the fund for the family of
Fireman Kaine, who was the victim
of the Slater fire.
Both of the games were exciting
from start to finish. Although there
was much erroring there was some
brilliant work. In the first game
Savarese, Harms and Howard pulled
off a triple play. This was the first
triple seen here this season.
McConnell's work in the box in the
first game is deserving of special men
tion, not a. hit being scored against
him. For the Y. M. C. A. Howard's
work at second base was also far
above the average.
Harms hitting in both games was
a feature. The scores:

Wheeling, W. Va., May 28, 1903.
Some years ago while at work, I fell
over a truck and severely injured both
of my shins. My blood became poisoned
as a result, and the doctor told me I
would have running sores for life, and
that if they were healed up the result
would be fatal. Under this discouraging
report I left off their treatment and re
sorted to the use of S. S. S. Its effects
were prompt and gratifying. It took
only a short while for the medicine to en
tirely cure up the sores, and I am not
dead as the doctors intimated, nor have
the sores ever broke out again. Some 12
years have elapsed since what I have de
scribed occurred. Having been so signally
benefitted by its use I can heartily recom
mend it as the one great blood purifier.

BENEFIT GAME
FOR PLAYERS
GREAT PROGRAMME MONDAY
BALL GAME. FOOT RACES AND
THROWING CONTEST.
Mnllaney and Bnrt Have Chosen
Teams to Oppose Each Other-
Hurt Seems to Have the Strongest
Line Up, Bnt Mull is Confident
That With His German Friends He
Will Be Able to Trek Around tlie
Bases Enongli Times to Win.
Positively the last appearance of the
Savannah Baseball team on the local
diamond this season will take place
Monday afternoon, when a field day
benefit will be pulled off for the play
ers.
Capt. Mullaney will captain one of
the teams and Left Fielder Burt will
captain the other. Burt’s line up looks
much stronger on paper, but Mull
looks confident and says he is relying
on his German friends to win the
game.
In addition to the ball game other
attractive events have been arranged
for the afternoon's sport. A 100-yard
dash between Yancy and Melville T.
Abel promises to be highly interest
ing. Both men have records down
near the ten second mark, and the
backers of both are confident. Mr.
Abel, it is said, has covered the 100
yards in 10 seconds fiat, while Yancy’s
record is a fifth of a second slower
than this. Despite this slight dis
parity, the backers of Yancy still be
lieve he will be able to bear off the
palm.
The long distance throwing contest
will also 'be an interesting event.
Every member of the team will com
pete in this, and there will no doubt,
be many surprises. Among the fav
orites for this event are Miller, Holmes
and Staley. Mullaney will also afford
a surprise in this contest.
In fungo hitting the contest will
probably narrow' down between Welch
and Thatcher. Both have been able
to hit the ball over the center field
fence with apparent ease.
The wall scaling contest between
the umpires has been abandoned as
several of the uir.ps that they
are out of practice.
The exercises will start promptly at
3 o’clock, and the large advance sale
of tickets insures a crowd of over
1,000 people.
The line up of the two teams will
be as follow’s:
Mullaney's. Position. Burt’s.
Welch pitcher Savidge
Roth catcher Holmes
Mullaney first 'base.... Thatcher

BIG CROWD SAW THE
FINALS AT CHARLESTON
Was By Superior Work That the
Sea Galls Won.
Charleston, S. C., Sept. 10.—Eighteen
hundred and fifty fans saw Charleston
defeat Savannah in the first game and
tie tha second in the closing games of
the season at the Hampton Park
grounds this afternoon. Both games
were hard fought from start to finish,
and were good to see.
Superior playing on the part of the
Charleston men was responsible for the
victory and the tie, though the visitors
fought hard for all they got, and yield
ed runs only after struggling hard to
shut them off.
The second game was called in the
ninth inning, because it was getting
too late to play out the tenth, and it
was thought best to stop at that point.
Umpire Grim's work to-day was good
and his decisions just. He never um
pired a better game here since he has
been on President Boyer's staff.

BEST INDIVIDUAL
BALLPLAYERS
ALL SOUTH ATLANTIC TEAM
DIAMOND STARS HAVE WON THEIR
WAY TO THE FRONT.
A Matter of Inillvidnnl Opinion, Bat
Records and Facts Stand for
Themselves—Sax annah Gets Larg
est Number—Mechanical Execution
Not the Only Consideration in Se
lecting a Ball Player—Pitching
Staff the Hardest Picking.
With the close of the South Atlantic
season comes the question of what Is
the strongest team that could be se
lected from the entire league. No one
person would be able to select a team
that would meet with the idea of gen
eral excellence entertained by ethers.
In accordance with the official rec
ords, taken together with the tempera
ment of players, their mode of execu
tion in field play, their observance of
what is known as inside W'ork, hitting,
without regard to themselves, but with
the idea to advance the runner, Judg
ment in base running, accuracy and
judgment in throwing, life in the game,
etc., the selections herewith appended
are made.
Taking all things tending to make
a finished ball player into consideration,
the following looks like the strongest
available team to be selected in the
league:
Pitchers —Savidge of Savannah,
Childs of Charleston, Bayne of Macon
and Welch of Savannah.
Catchers—Curran of Jacksonville,
Shea of Columbia.
First Base —Mullaney of Savannah.
Second Base—Kuhn of Columbia.
Short Stop—Oyler of Savannah.
Third Base —Lipe of Macon.
Left Field—Burt of Savannah.
Center Field—Viola of Jacksonville.
Right Field—Engel of Augusta.
With the large number of good pitch
ers in the league it is a difficult mat
ter to select the best. Childs, w'hen
right, is head and shoulders above
anything in the league. His wonder
ful speed, together with the greatest
breaking ball seen here, makes him
almost invincible. While many pitch
ers save hits by good support, Childs
saves many by preventing batters
from even hitting the ball at all.
Savidge is perhaps the best all
around pitcher, day in and day out,
in the league. Welch has been the
most successful, and will, perhaps in
time, be the star of the lot, but he
has much to learn. Bayne will have
his real trial before the end of the sea
son with Atlanta. A second iron man,
he has worked in more games than
any pitcher in the league, and ranks
second to Welch in percentage of
games won.
Every backstop in the league has
his admirer. To a large number Rob
inson is looked on as the best. For
all round play he is outclassed by Cur
ran. Robinson’s wonderful throwing
is hardly ever accurate with men on
bases. Curran is a splendid combina
tion man; hits well, runs bases as well
as any man in the league, and his
throwing to bases is faultless. He is
even a better man behind tfie bat
than Shea. ,
At first base, Mullaney is the heady,
all around man of the league.
At second Jimmy Kuhn is the fast
est. and even with his several injuries
during the season he has played a re
markable game. Blake’s hitting
streak lasted him only about three
weeks, and he has fallen way down In
the list.
Oyler leads the shortstops of the
league both in batting and fielding. He
is a young player who listens to older
heads, and is coming all the while.
Perry Lipe is still looked on as the
best third baseman in the league. His
fielding is no better than Miller’s but
his strength at the bat tells.
The outfield, like the pitching staff,
is hard to chose. Hayes of Charleston
is fast as lightning and covers great
territory, but he is woefully weak at
the bat. In left Burt looks to be the
best all-round man in the league. He
leads in number of runs scored In the
entire league, and is high up In the
stolen-base column.
In center Clyde Engel is the most
valuable man, being a general utility
player. He is at home in any position
on the team, and has pitched several
very creditable games.
Viola, the hard-hitting Cuban of
Jacksonville, Is valuable for his stick
work, though he is not the best in
judgment in the field. His wonderful
throwing is also a valuable asset.
JAYS WON AGAIN IN
AN EXCITING CONTEST
l.onse Playing and Pole how'* Er
ratic Work I,o*l for Mncon.
Jacksonville, Fla., Sept. 10.—Macon
and Jacksonville played a fast game
to-day with an exciting finish. The
leaders took the lead in the early stage,
but with the score 3 to 1, Jacksonville,
in the sixth, hit Polchow liberally, two
two-base hits and a single, tieing the
score. This was followed by Polchow
mistaking a return of the ball for a

It is well that all men should know
the consequences of certain terrible
consequences if the dis
ease is imperfectly treated. The grav
est of these is specific, vital, contract
ed blood poison, the disease that is
first manifested by a stubborn sore,
later by a rash on the body, then by
the breaking out of ulcers, swelling of
the glands, falling out of the hair and
eyebrows. You cannot mistake these
symptoms.
He Cures Blood Poison.
If you find yourself in the clutches
of blood poison, don't waste time and
money on experimenters, don't despair
and think of suicide, but go at once to
Dr. J. Newton Hathaway, the emi
nent specialist, and he will cure you
promptly and definitely, so that no
one will ever know you had the dis
ease. Once cured by him. it can never
recur again, no matter to what dan
gers you expose yourself; and, as he
does not believp in the use of mercury
and potash in this disease, you are
sure that there will be no bad after
effects. You will also be safe from
locomotor ataxia, paralysis and other
nervo-spinal diseases that result from
Imperfectly cured blood poison or from
the too free use of mercury and pot
ash. S>e In-. Hathaway and you will
be safe.

From the London Pall Mall Gazette.
It is just sixty years ago since the
first telegraphic message was sent by
the Morse system from Baltimore to
Washington, and the first message by
the Atlantic submarine cable was dis
pitched six years afterward—that is to
say, in June, 1850. Since then the use
of the telegraph has developed at a
marvelous rate, until at the present
time a million messages are sent over
the world's lines every twenty-four
hours. According to some returns re
cently issued, the number of telegrams
dispatched in all countries in 1903
reached the enormous total of 364,848,-
474. Asa user of the telegraph Great
Britain heads the list with 92,471.080
dispatches, and United States is second
with 91,391,000, and France comes third
with 48,114,151. Germany, Russfa, Aus
tria, Belgium and Italy follow in the
order named.
