THE AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUSTA. TSA. MANAGER BROUWERS’ CREW LOST HARD FIGHT YESTERDAY There Was No Available Twirl er to Replace Snyder and the Combacks Were Defeated by Sea Gulls, 7 to 4. Smith’s Remarkable Throw From C enter Sensation of Game. From the Sound of the Gong Until Last Inning it Was a “Battle Royal.” When the gong sounded yesterday afternoon the merry warriors pranc ed out onto t'he diamond and com menced the battle royal. When the word battle is used, why its simply meant that the two clubs went after each other "hammer and tongs," for that’s about the size of the exhibition that was put up, both teams fighting as they never fought before—Charles ton’s object being copping that lead ing position, anl the locals—as a last resort for the same position, for the two games that now remain practicl ly decide as to whether or not the Combacks have a "chance." Well the Gulls captured this game by the score of 7 to 4. No Twirler Handy. The reason, and the only one Tor losing this game was that Manager Brouthers had no oilier twirler on the list to “linish-out” for Synder. Barker has been playing first since Wallace left the team, several players having been tried out on tills situa tion, however none, with the excep tion of “Johnnie” being able to hold it down, like it s’hould he; Winchell has been used so much lately as an “Iron Man,” that it was not possible to again work him yesterday and Stone was the only man left who would he able to pitch todaih That’s the whole condition of affairs that Manager Brouthers faced Nope, it's declared, right here that a pilot’s po sition is not an easy one. for, take for Instance, with all t'he “thinking” that "Babe” exercised yesterday there’s a few fans that condemn him. Such is life in a baseball burg. With the exception oT the weakness in the -[itching staff of both teams the game was one of the best that was ever witnessed on the local diamond. Smith’s Throw. Most decidedly the feature of the game, and also the sensation was when Eberts tagged up on third in order for the sprint home after Smith had copped the balloon of Pilot Hamilton, however, the attempt to seore was ruined. Alter capturing the pill, in deep center, “Smltey” sim ply shot it on a line to home right if to Berger's hands, catching Eberts, who was still a good distance from the plate. The feat was a most re markable one, Eberts being a fast man, and the distance against Smith, hut —that’s the article of hall that was put up yesterday. This throw was undoubtedly the best that has been pulled on these grounds, in fact, its probably the best that has ever been pulled in the South Atlantic. An unusual occurrence came to I ass also yesterday when "Danny” Clark threw the sphere wild to Manager Brouthers allowing the visitors to score anotner run. Now Clark can’t he blamed Tor making this slip, for If you’ve been keeping tab on this little sccopd-sacker it is very evident that It's not a frequent occurrence with him Just, look at the seemingly Im possible plays that he manages to make possible they all go to show that a good plnyer will slip up once in the season.

When President Kalblelsch decided that he would put a baseball team In Augusta he evidently did not realize the amount of money that It would take—an old debt to be paid up; the big player salary; the purchase of players and many other "cash-box emptlers" such as rain which means that ©very day that It rains that $75 a day players* pay rod goes on Just the same.
