Splendid Literary Address Was Ds.
Ilvered Yesterday by Prof. Passmore.
The dry corners of a grandstand that
Is as good as the one here are not
very plentiful. There was diligent
search made for them yesterday, but
the results of the hunt were fruitless.
Probably some of the new men will
be in today’s game. They are all good
baseball men, secured at a good deal
of expense, and they are expected to
make good with a rush. It is still early
in the season and no material damage
has been done to the team’s standing
as yet.

At the beginning of the last half of
the third, Blankenship, the new um
pire, who hails from Columbus, called
the game. The rain, which everybody
had been predicting, and which most
of them had been hoping for all the
afternoon when the crippled condition
of the home team became known; fell
a little bit, not to express it too ex
travagantly, and after a few minutes,
in which it was seen that there was
no possibility of the game being re
newed, it was called off. It was a
God-send to the Albany team, for al
ready Waycross had piled up two runs
—one of them being the work of Trib
ble, the terrible with the stick. Only
a short time was consumed in the
making of this one, a single crack of
the bat and the sphere departed over
the right field fence.
'The team was handicapped by the
fact that the most of the men were
playing in strange places. Snodgrass
held down the initial sack, Boyd was
taken out of center and played short,
Crosley playing his garden, and Nol-
ley ambled round in left field. Of
course it was the best that could be
done under the circumstances, the re
leasing of some of the players making
gaps in the line-up, which, though they
will be filled at once, couldn’t be sup
plied yesterday on such short notioe.
The men were all determined in their
efforts and there were several times
when it looked as if two or three runs
couldn’t help being made by Waycross,
but .which by heady playing were
warded off. When the new material
arrives and the men Btrike their gait
the Albany fans will have to make
good their boast that they will sup
port a winning team.
The interposition of a kindly provi
dence saved Albany yesterday, though,
it cannot be doubted. But today the
men will be in far better shape to p^pt
the fixings to the men from Waycross.
The visitors are all a crowd of hitters,
as a glance at their physiques] will
show, and they won’t give up easy.
They have been accustomed to win
ning, though, and it is a habit that is
very, very hard to break.
So give the boys the glad hand the
rest of the games this week. They
are making a hard effort to pull out,
and they will. And a little sincere en
couragement will help matters won
derfully. They know as well as you
that there have been some games lost,
and Manager Snodgrass isn’t promis
ing to go to the top of the percentage
column In a week, but he and his men
are going to put forth every effort to
get there as fast as possible. Yester
day as many of the fans as were out
were well pleased with the general
appearance of the team. •

One little fellow, who had evidently

Mr. A. C. Durden, the enterprising
superintendent of Mr. Morris Weslos-
ky’s Jeannette Farm, brought to The
Herald office yesterday afternoon a
bunch of very large white onions. And
to one who has hn eye for onlonB they
were beauties. We suppose they were
onions. They looked like onions and
smelled like onions, and Mr. Durden
said they were onions, and very good
onions, but we have to take his word
for this, as he took them away, saying
that Mr. Weslosky had told him to
bring them by The Herald office to let
us LOOK AT them.
Some of the playing of the Waycross
