Newspaper Page TextTUESDAY, JUNE la. TOURISTS WERE OUTPLAYED; VISITORS WON IN A WALK Pierce Gave Up Nine Time ly Hits, and was Poorly Supported, While South paw Heinie Schultz Held Down the Local Stick Work to Three Bingles. Savannah 6. Augusta 0. Pierce pitched in poor form again and the Indians found him easily at opportune Junctures, when hits net ted runs. His support was frayed around the edges. On the contrary, Heinie Schultz, the husky Savannah southpaw, worked in splendid style, allowing only three hits, and his pals backed him up in great shape. On form, the two teams might have held reversed position in the league standing. It was an off day for the Tourists. *They never got limber. T-e outfield trio played a listless, rag ged game that provoked many unkind thrusts from the anvil chorus, and the battery work was of that brand that never will win games. McMahon, Bierkotte and Hohnhorst deserve credit for their spirited work. These men can always be counted on to play ball as if it mattered whether Augusta wins. Count Castro had lots of pepper, and worked hard to stem the tide of defeat. There has been a complete trans formation in the Savannah team since they were here last. "Lots of Pep!” is their battle cry, and their style of bail playing exemplifies the inspiring slogan. They played rings around the Tourists Monday, and deserved to win in a walk. The first inning netted the visitors tneir first run. Pelky led off with a fast and difficult grounder that Hohn horst failed to handle in time, and was safe. Huber advanced him to second with an infield out, he stole third, and romped across the plate on Murch’s single to center. Jackson forced Murch from Bierkotte to Cas tro, and was out himself trying to steal second.

JOHN J. COHEN, JR., Manager. SULLIVAN'S ISLAND, S. C. Pierce had The Indians faded in the second, third and fourth, but in the fifth they got after him again, pick ing a hilarious wind (forerunner of the shower) to help them along. Manush lifted a high one to right that Coles failed to get, and took third when Bierkotte let the peg get through. Wagnon’s appearance at the rubber was signal for a shout of friendly greeting from the spectators —who remembered him of old—but the best he could do was a line' drive to McMahon’s mitt. Then Howard came along with a triple in his wil low and Manush scored in a walk. Lauzon helped out with a long sacri- Uce fly to center, scoring Howard, but Schultz ended the inning. Rain interfered about ten minutes at the start of the seventh inning and there was considerable unnecessary talk among the players about whether or not the conflict should be resumed, when Umpire How ordered the teams to the field. The eighth inning was profitable to the Indians, netting two more runs. Schultz led off with a corkfng double to center field, and took third when Pierce failed to handle Pelky’s bunt. Huber fanned, and while Murch was touching Pierce for a gift Carson peg ged Pelky dead at second, in that ath letic’s effort to pilfer the keystone. Jackson, the clouter, no longer to be denied of his right, stepped into Pierce and the ball was stopped in deep cen ter field, its flight having allowed Schultz and Murch ample time in which to score, and Jackson a chance to roost on third. Manush finished that inning. Wagnon scored in the ninth on a single, a sacrifice and a wild pitch. The game wasn’t much fun for Cas tro’s bunch. Only two men got as far as second. Schultz was faced by 32 men, all told, and gave a splendid exhibition of the most approved meth od of holdVig' clown hits. The box score follows: Augusta AB. R. H. PO. A. E.

Her—Tell me now, did you come to propose to me? Him—Well, as a matter of fact, I didn’t come to propose to you—l merely came to make a friendly call. —Cleveland Leader. JAMES J. JEFFRIES The retired heavyweight champion has pledged himself to fight the winner of the Johnson-Kctchcll fight. This picture shows his Herculean develop ment, and it may readily he understood that he is a fighter of gigantic strength. SPORTITORIALS Big Jim Hannifan will work in Tuesday’s game, and he ought to win, if he draws anything like an even break. Aside from his phe nomenal luck, he is in fine condition, and feels able to unbutton a high class article of delivery. Ernie Howard will in all probably send De Balt, his new man, to oppose Big J im. In Wednesday’s game the Selection of a mound artist for Augusta depends somewhat on the outcome o f today’s conflict. If we win Tues day, the new Griffin-Burton, he says his given name is—will prob ably be sent to the firing line, but if we lose again the old war horse Griffin will do the twirling honor s. Count means to rest the eider Griffin in order to begin with him at Chattanooga. With the suport that an Augusta pitcher has a right to expect— figuring on past performances—Fierce would have made a much better showing Monday. Even at that, however, he was less troublesome to these fire-eating Indians than their big Dutch southpaw was to Castro’s outfit. The wind helped them some in the fifth inning, but it might have helped us equally as much. Hohnhorst aroused the bleachers in the second inning by a great one-hand stop. Wagnon drove a red-hot grounder to Castro that he barely got in time, and when he turned loose at Hohnhorst the ball had some speed. It came two feet wide, on Morale's left side, but he shot out his meat hand and go it. The impact must have raised a blister. The game abounded in spectaoular plays. In the sixth inning Pelkey drove a grounder clear through Pierce and for a second it look ed good for a hit. But Red McMahon was on the job. He got the pill just in time to make a wonderful, running peg to first, killing Pel key by a narrow margin. In the same inning Huber was caught oft first by one of Pierce’s clever pegs. In the eighth inning Carson drove a terrific liner to John Wagnon's territory, and the old favorite fast ened -H without a moment's hesitation. It turned hint round on his props like a shooting galery target, and then to raise a laugh from his sidp of the bleachers he whirled twice again. Old Ed Lauzon is the Comedy Kid. Perhaps it would not be over drawing the mark to dope his influence as one of the chief factors in welding that Savannah bunch together. He hits the field with “Lots of Pep!” the Indian slogan, and taking their cue from his voluble ex ample the Howard hired men keep talking all the time. Nine athletes bellowing in chorus can make lots of noise on a ball field. “Does this bunch play hall Dor you that way all the time?” was the question put to Manager Howard. “Well, I could hardly shy as to that,” responded the modest Ernie, ‘but you know we are in the game now. We beat Macon three games. You saw the way our boys played this af ternoon. They’ve got lots of pep, that bunch has. They’ve Improved wonderfully since they got together.” UNKNOWN MAN FOUND DEAD IN OED FIELD Negro Near Pidcoek Dis covered Body of Man who is Supposed to Have Committed Suicide.
