Some fine form was shown in this game by the Academy boys as well as the Augusta ball club. Tbs main reason that the amateurs did not score was that they could not get on to the bends and glides of the “profes sionals." While the Academy failed to h t with the consistency which marked their ef forts In the recent game with Clemson they certainly put up some fight which caused a great deal of comment. Tile Academy's playing was so noticeable that many a fan classed them us one of the best rrep. teams that ever roamed In this section In this decade Clark of the Augusta team is what is rightly termed a wonder, at least Judg ing from the fight he put up yestardav. lie arrived in Augusta yesterday about 3:3(1 o'Cook, therefore having but an hour in which to get the kinks out of himself, before the game scheduled for the afternoon was called. Taking ft all-in-all. the Augusta team reaped a good afternoon's practice out of the Academy, amt Manager Hrouth ers gives the cadets credit for playing a very good game. “Babe's" team showed up better yes terday than they have heretofore (this feature shows that the work Is pro gressing nicelyt and the team work was another feature In the Improvement.
