Macon, Ga., March 28.—“Had yes terday's game been played In tnld- seaaon between two major league cluba a tighter and a more Interesting con test could not have been asked for/' That Is the way Napoleon Lajole takes the defeat of the Nap* by Macon yes terday afternoon. Macon turned* the trick by the score of 2 to I. It was a ten-inning affair that fairly sparked with thrilling play* from the beginning to the dose. . Murdoch’* long drive far above the head of Center Fielder Bay In the end of the tenth, was the culmi nation of It all, and as Chandler trotted home for the winning run* the Ohioan* beat it to the bench. They had fought their hardest to take the contest, but had overlooked the fact thut Macon was some chestnuts herself. Purlng the Anal two Innings Cleve land wan forced to assume the defen sive, Glenn Llebhardt was being roughly treated by the Mucon batter*, lie Clarke wa* proving while Clarke wa* proving a puzzle. Helm worked during the Arwt five In nings of play against Thlelman and when both left the fray the score stood nip and tuck, 1 to 1, and three hit* Thompson were the star hitters for West Boo. Henley, the Classlcala’ old reliable pitch , was right there with the goods, striking piii out ut critical stages of the game, mid showing form that will some day pul him In professional ranks with his hrothur, Weldon.

Falvey, p Henley, p Muse, ns Middle brooks, c Puowoody, 2b Ward, lb Dubard. 4b Terrell, 2b llnrrlson, rf Conllf, Thompson, lb Goree, registered against both pitchers. In five rounds Lledbhardt was bumped six times; Clarke but twice. Splendid fielding behind Clarke had a lot to do with the result. The errors that were made during the game were not of a costly nature. Last night the quartet of Cleveland newspaper men found It hard work In explaining tlie defeat. What made the Job rankle the more was the fact that a day or so before they twitted un mercifully the New York Americans for dropping two games to Macon. The score: Macon— ab. r. h. po. a. e.
