THE ALBANY DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, MAY 2, 1906. You will scarcely be lieve a soda cracker can be so perfect until you taste the one perfect Soda Cracker— PUY BILL Opening of the Georgia State League Season. It’s a tact that you can’t afford to Ig nore, and Albany must support the team. A ball team Is not run on hot air, by a long shot. It takes ,the same kind of shekels to run one that It does for any other enterprise. There’s no room at the park for knockers. The anvil chorus Is re quested to stay at home. All sledges must Jre left at the gate. If you don’t mean to encourage Instead of ham- Uneeda Biscuit So deliciously baked—so tender and flaky—so won derfully preserved by a moisture proof package.

Neuman, Agent for May Manton Pattern*. * FOR THE BEST Values in Marble and ' Granite for artistic work manship, and the finest rial in material Headstones, etc., try The Albany Marble and jranite Works. W. H. MILLER, Proprieior 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 ‘ voting for a candidate 'to represent Bults ' but beoau8e of hls hatl ' od of the Second Congressional District of 00,11 on ac0ounl ot tho execution ot 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. YOUR HAT May Be Stylish One, Dot It Hake* Trouble.
