BRUNSWICK, GA.. SUNDAY MORNING. APRIL 28 1907.
SAVANNAH TEAM TOO
[AST FOR’THE
LOCALS
COLUM BIAS TOOK BOTH GAMES
OF A DOUBLE-HEADER FORM
THE ATHLETICS YESTERDAY
AFTERNOON.
The Savannah Columbia* proved
to he too fast for the Brusnwlck Ath
letics yesterday afternoon, and the
visitors captureu both game's of the
houbleheader with ease. The first
resulted in a score of 7 to 1 and the
second 9 to 2.
However the locals can be credited
with very good if;a 11 playing in the
first few innings of both games
am] both the pitchers, Tlson and
Morton, did very good work.
The Athletics, which is composed
of a' number of youngsters none of
whom have reached their majority,
have just started out to playig ball
against visiting teams the three
games of the past week being the
first they have ever played on the
home diamond against visitors. Indiv
idually the boys all play very good
ball put they lack team work and
when they get in a little hole they
quickly lose their heads and go
deeper. Up to the fourth or fifth
inning yesterday of both games
they put up excellent exhibitions
hut as soon as one or two men got
on bases they took the balloon as
cension. and before they descended
they lost the game. •
This however, is always the case
with young amateurs and it is be
.lievcd that the Athletics will yet de
velop into a fast team.
On the other hand yesterday they
were uip aganist men old in the
game as two or three of the Savan
nah players have been playing ball
for these many years. They worked '
better together, hit when hits meant
runs, and outclassed the home team
ai every stage of the game.
With a little more practice, and
with one or two weak places rem
edied the Athletics will %ave a fa”l
aggregation and will cop out many a
victory against amateur clubs.
JESUP COMES NEXT.
ft is probable that the .lesup ball
team will be the next to come down
to tackle the locals. Jhe date of ihej
game has not yet been decided upon.

that people from all over the coun
