Mr. Crews, of Americus, you have

won a game for Americus.
And Then Atlanta. Police Made Them
Rub It Out.
OUR MILL END SALE!
It la rumored that dissipation is rife
among the players and that managers
allow their men too much freedom.
Atlanta, Ga., May 21.—In order to
celebrate their victory over the husky
team from the University of Georgia,
a big crowd of Tech boys paraded the
streets Saturday night and wound up
by painting, In letters and figures
more than a foot high and In brilliant
yellow paint, the following legend on
the smooth new asphalt In front of
the Atlanta terminal station:
“Tech 3, Georgia 2.”
Officer Ivy and Ptfllceman Doyle, to
gether with Night Station Master
Blount, followed the boys, got them
cornered and forced them to return
and "rub out” the offending sign. The
boys had to buy some cloth and tur
pentine to rid the asphalt of its glaring
yellow lettering.
Anyway, this much can be said, the
Albany team is getting the reputation
of playing clean ball wherever it goes.
Three straights for Waycross from
the Albany team alone. Is It strange
that they stand at the head of the col
umn?
A little more ginger and head work
are needed just at present. The men
have a way of giving up if the other
team gets In the lead.
This property is rapidly en
hancing in value and will be
worth double present price in
few years.

object of scorn, as the “fan” who
couldn’t stand a little hard luck of the
home team, and the enthusiasts in
other towns, who help their men when-
they get in a hole and do not hinder
them, will laugh much at the superior
wisdom of the man who knew it all.
Alexander has .been released and
Snodgrass is now the manager. After
Alexander was released Snod whs of
fered the management and accepted.
He Is an experienced baseball man and
has a fine knowledge of the game.
Also he is one of the best all around
men In the league, both as a hitter
and as a fielder., He has been making
arrangements to strengthen the team
already and while nothing definite can
he given out now several new men
will soon land in .Albany. The ap
pointment of Snodgrass as manager
has pleased the fans no littlb.

The team 'went down again before
those crazy Waycross players. Ten
times they hit it, and ten times they
ambled across the plate, digging their
spikes in the inoffensive rubber with a
malicious satisfaction. And only four
hits could be gotten off Allen, another
new pitcher that Buesse hqs picked
up. Only once were we allowed to
score—it was nearly a kalsomine.
Eight times did Crosley’s team mates
fall hack on him and embrace the er
ror column. ^Was the score a surprise,
when all the rest Is considered?
“Outclassed,” you will hear on the
street corners; but you can’t be so
sure of that. Outplayed they were, but
the Albany team is in their class. It
was simply a question of lack of sup
port. Isn’t there some remedy for this
sort of thing? It is getting so common
and It is what is sending the team
down hill. Daily the error column is
in a full condition.
The Waycross team made two runs
In the first, which was pretty bad, and
in the second—Oh, horrors!—six more.
It was hopeless after that. We made
one measly one in the sixth, but that
was nothing against the vows that the
others piled up with an case that was
heartbreaking.
Allen, Waycross’s new pitcher from
the South Atlantic, was there with the
material, and he showed that he had
come from a fast crowd. The support
behind him was excellent. )Three dou
ble plays were made by the Waycross
team and the ginger was there all the
time.
Never mind, what wo will do for
them these three days will be- enough.
The, weak places on the team have
been strengthened and the men know
what they are up against.
Three straights gone, but it must be
remembered that we have been play
ing the strongest teams. Not yet has
the Americus bunch had a chance to
fatten the Albany team’s percentage.
And neither have we been up against
Valdosta. Altogether the boys have
played in hard luck. But the Jonah
has departed and the club will now
take the place in the percentage col
umn that it deserves by right of merit
to occupy. There is nb denying that
there have been some weak, places,
but these things are being straight
ened out as quickly as possible.
And remember, when you are knock
ing, that you are only hurting yourself,
that too much of it is very, very bad
for you, that the franchise may unfold
its wings and fly to another place, that
Albany may be left in the cold, that
you may not'have any more chances
to let loose your views, so very, very
valuable, on the subject of baseball,
and that you may be pointed out as an
AT COLUMBUS.
Innings— 123 456 78—R. H. E.
Columbus 020 030 03— 8 9 7

FAN-ATICS.
Another drop!
Lavender continues to hold his own.
Wagnon, shortstop for Waycross,
Isn’t so bad.
All the teams are working six days
in the’week.
If ever the need of gatnes to be won
was felt, it is now.
Cordele will be heard from before
the season is over.
It’s early in the season yet, and the
men can still climb out.
“They say” that several other teams
are after our Snodgrass.
A little winning streak will queer
the knockers in short order.
Dissipation Is not so rife among the
players as it might be supposed.
Posey continues to have a lot of
strike-out victims in each game.
McCormack is as good a man with
the stick as the league can show.
If Tribble pitches the first game the
series will be harder to win, that’B all,
The support of the Albany people
this week will have a lot to do with
the team’s winning. The team do not
relish the work of the anvil chorus a
little bit.
The siren voice of victory calls to
Snodgrass’s men. Give heed, we en
treat you, and suffer not “The Machin
ists” to repeat their dread performance
of the past.
The two weakest teams in* the
league are matched against each other
now—Valdosta and Americus. Ameri
cus ought to, and is beginning to, wear
a blush of shame.
A gfance’ at the number of hits in
any of the scores of almost any of the
games will show that the pitcher’s life
in the Georgia State League is not a
bed of roses by a little bit.
Lavender wins whenever he pitches.
Of course he can’t keep this up all
summer, hut none the less his aver
age is going to be a thing of envy to
most of the other pitchers.
ELECTION
OF TEACHERS
For the City Schools of Albany, June
6, 1906.
Albany, Ga., May 19, 1906.
The Board of Control of the City
System of Public Schools will meet, at
the court house on Wednesday, Juno

ing.
A teacher In manual training.
A principal of Negro- School.
Seven class teachers of Negro
School.
C. W. RAWSON, Mayor,
1,. B. WELCH, Chairman.
Secretary.
Posey got a three-bagger in his game
with Waycross. The hoodoo has been
on the team when he has done the
pitching, and It Isn’t his fault that oth
ers broke Into the error column.
Dark oblivion be the portion of the
past, the future Is ours, the baleful
shadow of defeat is but a relic and the
splendors of prospective conquests il
lumine the path of the home club.
' Mr. Carlton Buesse, your future Is
dark; but we will treat you hospitably
—the same as you did us last week.
Vengeance is the Albany baseball
club’s today, tomorrow and the next
day.
The place hitter, who Is a rather
rare thing In the Georgia State league,
is more valuable than the three-base
slugger, although his work Is not as
highly appreciated by the baseball
public.
Cassidy has been released by Man
ager Arthur Starr, of the Valdosta
club.
There will be several changes In the
personnel of the team In the near fu
ture.
Cummings, who played center for
Cordele, has been released at his own
request.
President Powell, of the Americus
club, has signed a new outfielder—
Yancey.
If the men will only brace up and do
what they can, it will be a glad time
in Albany.
There’s no use denying that the
Waycross team, is as good as any in
the league.
We are up against the same crowd
for three this week. It means plenty
of hard work if we win.'
It’s getting time, all over the circuit
Baseball
Albany Vs.
Don’t think that we are afraid of
you, Waycross athletes, but the emo
tions, engendered by the events of the
last three days of last week have put
the team where it has a little respect
for you.
Plenty of work and very little play
is the rule In this league. Sunday is
the only day of rest that the players
get. It is no wonder that they throw
the ball away sometimes. It is hard
to be “ginger” all the time.
The Columbus team, when It left
here, had a wicked' scheme, in which
his umps Coniff was to play a leading
part. Prompted by the decisions that
he had made in the series here, they
meant to throw him off the train when
it should be miles distant from human
habitation. How reprehensible and
wicked of them' to thus plot against
the well being of one so dear to all
the players.
Come ’round this evening and see
how the other games in the Georgia
State League came out. Detailed tele
graphic accounts at The Office.
Many a girl who cuts the acquaint
ance of restaurants where the steak Is
never cooked qifite done or the dishes
are not always clean, will eat a quart
of half grown plums or enough sour
pickle to founder three men, and never
suspect that she Is doing anything out
of the ordinary.
