But they have an almost new team and they are putting up a far better article of ball than formerly. Anyway, It was worth looking at. Jt was a beautiful exhibition of the sport and the few who saw it enjoyed it to the utmost. It was the prettiest game that has been played in the league. sey strike out.

Those who have had any doubts about Posey’s ability can lay them aside now. He has been subjected to much severe criticism here in Albany, having lost the games that he has pitched from the inability of the oth ers to support him pt critical imes. Yesterday afternoon with a working bunch of players behind him, he showed that it was in him. The one Snodgrass out to short oq fly. Mac Poole out to left field. Hits '0, runs 0. Tenth Inning. .

The knowledge that from now on he is to have a square deal has helped him wonderfully. DeCosta, the new first baseman, is long-haired and lanky. He. moves about the sack In a manner that sug gests faster company, and covers the ground that It Is necessary- to cover there. He Is sure to make good, and the rest of the men have all sorts of confidence In him. The outfield, especially, was all there. Crosley and Snodgrass 'played fine ball all the time, each being cred ited with a number of put-outs. Some Posey hits to short, out at first. El dred out to center. Boyd grounds to first, out. Hits 0, runs 0. Twelfth Inning. Sorrel fans, Mac drops it, hut as sists to first. Crawley out to Snod. Yancey fans. Hits 0, runs 0. Snodgrass attempts to bunt on third strike, fouls, out.

Crawley, out ol five times, up, was out on the fly five times. The knowing ones are lavish in their praise of DeCosta. Westbrook played a rather game in the center garden. nice Posey was all there yesterday. Elev en strike-outs and only four hits. Sorrel is a general favorite here, hut he wasn't so much yesterday. Walen is a first-class pitcher. In other words, he Is in Posey’s class. Only one error against Americus, and it had no serious consequences. Snodgrass was at home again in left. He got one especially difficult one. Stevens is a pretty good catcher, hut he knows it worse than anyone else. In all there were twenty-eight halls caught on the fly. Rather poor hat ting. Dusenbery times. struck out only three The people of Albany have not sup ported their team as the people of Americus have theirs. Nobody got hit yesterday. This is the first game that has been played here when this was the cade. Lane has a reputation here in Al bany that is all right, but yesterday must have been an off day with him. OFFICIAL SCORE OF THE GAME. ALBANY- AB R H PO A E Eldred, 2b 3 of Crosley’s chances were almost in ss 6 the impossible class, but he always Sn ° a S r ass, If. 4 managed to get there In time.

Posey, p. .> 4 Our run was made in this wise; El dred drew four, Boyd made a single Total 38 1 4 36 10 4 and Snodgrass advanced them to sec- ; ond and third with a neat sacrifice. AMERICUS— AB R H PO A E McCormack hit a fielder’s choice to Westbrook, cf 6 short and was thrown out, but Eldred Walen, p 6 scored. The visitors’ only run waB Lane, lb 4 made In this inning also. Stevens, o. 3 Eldred played a nice game all the Sorrell, 3b 5 time, and Poole’s work on third was Crawley, 2b 5 good to look at. Nine put-outs Is his Yancey, If. 4 record for the afternoon. Of course It tfcwklrk, ss 6 must be remembered that it was a Dusenbery, rf. 5 12-innlng game (13 for Americus), and THE GAME IN DETAIL. First Inning, Westbrook hits to second, out at first. Walen singles and steals. Lane walks. Stevens ditto. Sorrel singles and Walen scores. Crawley flleB out to Posey and Lane Is thrown out at third. Hits 2, runs 1. Eldred gets hits base. Boyd blngles. Snodgrqss sacrifices. McCormack'hits to third, is thrown opt, hut Eldred scores. Poole gets his base. DeCosta fans. Hits 1, runs 1. Second Inning. Yancey walks. Newkirk sacrifices. Dusenbery strikes out. Westbrook out to left. Hits 0, runs 0. Dudley gets a hit. Crosley and Fo- Harry Eldred’s work was gilt-edged. He made two brilliant put-outs at first, slipping up behind the unsuspecting ones. The Americus that we are playing is not the one the rest of the teams have been up against. The men are nearly all new. It was a good game to tie In, even. We must take this one from them, or the fans will say that we can’t win, even from the Cellarites. DeCosta Is not in condition yet, be ing stiff, and the fans must bear in mind this fact He will soon be, though, and Snodgrass says that he will push any first baseman In the circuit. New Orleans, La., May 24.—-The board of control of the State Home for Lepers has announced to Governor Blanchard that at last a positive cure for leprosy has been found and that three patients afflicted with the dis ease for years have been discharged. All three cures have been efteoted in the home, it was reported, and eleven others are on the road to recovery. The board not only announced that the successful treatment had been dis covered, but divulged the drugs em ployed—ichthyol, chlorate of potash, strychnine, salicylate of soda, chaul- moogra oil and arsenic. It detailed also the other essential features, in cluding dally hot baths, nourishing food and open air life, bo physicians in all parts of the-globe Immediately might begin curing leprous patients. Unconquered for Ages. A certain cure for' consumption alone could rival the Importance of that for leprosy, and that only because the white plague affects a much larger number of persons than does the older scourge. Leprosy for thousands of years’has been regarded as ipcurable. The hoard of the Lepers’ Home withheld its report until certain not only that leprosy could be'cured, hut that the disease could be arrested at any stage. It knew two years ago that cures could he achieved in certain cases, hut, determining to avoid rais ing false hopes, waited until the treat ment has been tested by patients of all ages and all degrees of the scourge' The three patientB discharged as cured ranged in age from 13 to 50 years. Proof is Convincing. In addition, the board waited until the medical men of the institution said they had arrested eight other cases showing no symptom save pig mentation and throe caseB in which the destruction of flesh and bone al ready had set in when treatment was began. “The first case," the report to Gov, Blanchard sayB, “was that of a boy, 13 years old, admitted in October, 1902. He was discharged on Dec. 1904, as cured, and has been kept un der observation since. There has been no return of any evidence of the disease. The second case was that of woman, 50 years old, admitted on Aug. 10, 1900, and discharged on Dec. 19,1905, as cured, The third case was of a woman, 30 yearB old . admitted on June 2, 1904. She was discharged as cured on April £6, 1906.*’ As to the patients still In the home, the report says; “There are eight with whom the disease has been ar rested with no active lesions find no evidence of the scourge, excepting pigmentation; there are three with whom the disease has been arrested, but with evidence of former destruc tion. Of those with the arrested type at least six are being kept under ob servation with the view of their being discharged after a reasonable period of freedom from the plague.” Regarding the treatment which has brought about the remarkable condl* tlons, the report says: “In 1894 regular and, systematic treatment was established, comprising ichthyol, chlorate of potash, strych nine, salicylate of soda, chaulmoogra oil, arsenic, etc. Since 1902 systematic treatment has been followed and with marked results. The best results seem to follow the treatment with chaul moogra' oil and strychnine, and the three patients discharged as cured all followed that treatment thoroughly. Method Is One of Nutrition. “The method of treatment Is one of nutrition. If a resistance can be es tablished in the patient the disease will dlsapear. Leprosy Is recognized by us as a baclllai'y disease find one on which the tissues of the person af flicted are used as a feeding ground. Any medicine or treatment, hygiene or habit, which will change the tissues into food the baallli cannot feed upon will help the patient to a logical re sistance. All patients are required to take daily hot baths and .to eat plenty of wholesome food, without respect to its being fish, flesh or fowl or vegeta ble, and additionally It Is required that they shall spend as much time as pos sible In the open air and sunshine." Dr. Hopkins, visiting physician to the borne, and Dr. Isador Dyer, con sulting leperologlst, signed the reports to the board on which the report to the governor was based. They expect most, if not all of the patients- still In the Institution, to be discharged as cured In the next few months. The report asserts that there Is evi dence of a repent outbreak in Louis iana and that several centers of Infec tion remain to be investigated. V, tells also of the carrying of the disease to hitherto non-lnfected points by pa tients escaping from the home, and urges the legislature to find all the Infection points. In fact, qo serious is the situation as regards not only Louisiana, but the country at large, that the establishment of a national hospital for lepers is suggested.
