It’s a tact that you can’t afford to Ig

kind of shekels to run one that It does
for any other enterprise.

Tomorrow the fun begins.
The Cordele team comes to meet the
home club.
And say, you must see the. boys
walk away with the visitors. For it’s
almost sacrilege to think of any other
outcome. Manager Alexander confi
dently expects to take at least two of
the series. The men are all in prime
condition, and eager for the fray.
They are individually and as a team,
confident that they cpn carry off the
scalps of their opponents, and confi
dents is the keynote of success (n
baseball. Without it the finest- aggre
gation of ball playerd will go to the
bottom of the percentage column.
The game tomorrow will begin at
3:15. Mayor Rawson will throw the
first ball across the plate and the sea
son will have opened..
Alexander 'Is completing all arrange,
ments for the series and everything
will pass off with smooth precision;
the crowd wllj be handled all right
and proper police protection will be
given. There Is no excuse for your
staying at home. Show your sporting
blood and a proper appreciation of
good ball playing by coming out and
(
letting your employes come, too. The
boys won two out of three last weei,
and both of them were shut-out games,
too. Each of the men Is In fine shape.
The following call has been Issued
'for a congressional and legislative
primary to he held In Baker county on
May 16:
To the White Voters of Baker County:
You are hereby notified that there
will be a primary hold at each pre-
etnet In Baker county on Wednesday, : ot WlllceS Booth was not altogether
the 18th of May, for the purpose of, lm P elled by tlle clv11 war ltB re ‘

Why, in the exhibition games with
Valdosta, only two of them batted be
low the .300 mark, and the fielding
was clean, too. The Infield Is a unit,
and-the outfield rely on..each other
and themselves in a way that Is good
to look at. Crosley, In the oenter gar
den^ Is a wonder, nothing less. He
shows a special aptitude for bringing
In the low drives that are known as
Texas Leaguers.
Manager Alexander has 'trained the
men to work. They are there until
the last man Is out. He said yester
day that the Albany team meant to
get all that Is coming to It, and that If
Cordele won they would just natur
ally have to play better ball. This
spirit of determination permeates the
whole team, and It Is gratifying, In
deed.
Lovelace Is the latest addition to
the team. He has played^ independent
ball and Is an experienced man. At
first the fans were a little afraid of
hls arm, but the practice the men have
been doing every evening has brought
out the whip of the third saclter all
right. His wing now is all'that could
be desired.
In fact all the men are rapidly get
ting Into mid-season form. They are
displaying plenty of ginger and snap
and don’t mind taking extra chances,
the kind that hurt one’s record lit thq
official guide and help It in the estima
tion of discerning managers. It Is all
a matter of team work versus Individ
ual work, and the result Is plain.
Ramburger on short, Eldred at sec
ond, and Alexander on the Initial sack
make up the rest of tho Infield. Ram
burger has a way of stopping the Im
possible kind, and Eldred Is, an au
thority on how to nab the high pop
files that are really outfield hits. Alex
ander at first Is In a position to direct
all the plays. Alec himself Is no
novice.
Boyd will pitch tomorrow. He has
plenty of steam and what usually
doesn’t go wltlr*it, plefity of control.
Hls curves are all right, too. McCor
mack will catch. Mac has a whin that
shoots them to second in a manner
calculated to make the fans weep tears
of joy.
Snodgrass In left is a tall, raw-boned
specimen. He Is one of the best men
that ever grabbed a stick. Crosley In
center le a find, nothing less, and Dud
ley covers right In league style.
Did you ever stop to consider what
an- advertisement it Is to Albany to
belong toJthls club? It yon haven't,
It is time to sit up and take notice.
