The whole team was a little to the
bad yesterday, some of the men suffer
ing from sprains and the rest of them
losing heart after the Vagrants began
to hammer out a few hits and score
on the errors that would come up,
Crosley had the hoodoo .hanging over
him. His record so far has been all
right, it was a case of hard luclt. At
the' outset he was tapped, and ten
times the hit was recorded. The com
bination of hitting and errors at the
wrong time was too much and the
Vagrants ran all the way round until
twelve runs were in. Sorrow filled
the souls of the Albany fans who wit
nessed the game, and they were not
above showing it, shrieking out male
dictions against the boys who wore
the blue and red.
I The team was in a somewhat demor
alized condition after the second in
ning and never recovered the joyful
spirits so necessary to success. The
hits that kept falling in the diamond,
the errors that came when they were
not needed at all, a little, dumb work
that might easily have been avoided,
all this contributed to the final result,
the finality of which was of a very
obvious nature. But the men are not
at all outclassed by the visitors, they
were outplayed, all right, yesterday,
hut they have put up a far better game
in’ the days gone by, and they will
again. Today the chances are that
they will come out on top by a com
fortable score. Why, they haven’t
taken an opening game in any of the
series, but they have won several se
ries. The infield is now as strong as
any in the league, not excepting Carl
ton Beusse’s collection of two Griffins,
Wagnon and Fred Beusse. The two
new men, Siner and Kirkham, have
taken with the fans with a rush, and
DeCosta, while still not in as prime
condition as he will be, shows what is
in him. And Bldred, the only one of
the original Infield left, is in high fa
vor with all that are watching his
work. The pitching staff is as good as
any of the others, and the outfield is
there, too. Yesterday, after the lead
that Valdosta had made, they went to
pieces. And there is one circumstance
connected with it that the knooker
doesn’t think about It was patent to
the most unobservant that after’the
second inning there was nothing in
the rooting line cbming from the local
“supporters of the team.” The players
knew that the hammers were ringing
in the bleachers and the grandstand;
they heard the pleasant pelting as the
sound floated across the field, and be
ing human they resented it. Was
there so much inducement to win then
with the knowledge coming to them
every minute that they were “rotten,’’
as some who imagine that they Enow
the game of baseball far better than
the management kept reminding
them? The game wasn’t lost then,
but a ball player, who Is as primal in
his feelings as any of the rest of the
race, doesn’t feel like exerting every
effort to appease the wrath of a crowd
that cheers one day and knocks the’
next, that remembers the good only a
short, short while, and treasures np
against him the memories of off days
and hard luck. It’s like an actor play-
ing to an empty housp, or to an andt-
ence that hisses Instead of encoring.
■ ■■ . ".'iv/PTi,-'!.
But today the men have promised to
wreak vengeance on the crowd that
took them In. to lay it on heavy, and
to show the nan who wields the hum
nier that be was sadly mistaken.
Here’s hoping that their plans won’t
miscarry, that this one, and then the
next one, are theirs, and that the Va
grants will go back to their camp
dreaming dreams of what might have
been, but with the stern reality of de
feat staring them in the face.

ON NAMES.
It is a little interesting to note how
nick-names fasten themselves on a ball
club, and how they become associated
with it to such a degree that the club
cannot do without it. Just how they
start is hard to tell, but once started
they are fixtures. Everybody knows,
for instance, that the New York Na
tionals are the Giants, but how that
fastened on them few can tell. Again,
Macon calls theirs the Champs in hon
or of two successive pennants, but it
must be stated that they ill deserve
the name now. Sometimes, as in the
latter case, there is an obvious reason
for.the name; again, as in the former,
it is sometimes far-fetched and not to
be seen at a glance, although most of
the names under which they work
have always something back of them.
Now in regard to our own league
there is one club that has adopted for
its' very own one that is entirely in
the obvious class. This is that body
of pink-faced boys who move and have
their being in Amerlcus. They have
won this name in many a sad won de
feat, it is theirs by right of conquest,
and from present indications it will
stick to them a while longer. They
are the "Cellarites.” Some would
have them dubbed the “Pallbearers,"
but they lose games with such light
ning rapidity that they cannot be
called slow; still they are mournful,
the defeats of the rest-of the teams
having engendered thoughts suggest
ive of deep grief in their heatrs.
The Waycross team is the “Machin
ists." Jnst why this has been adopted
by them isn’t very clear, but a team
that has ridden rough-shod over the
others as it has can call itself any
thing and the rest won’t have a thing
to say by way of objection.
Columbus has adopted the title of
"Fishermen." They are pretty suc
cessful anglers’ when it comes to ruri
getting arid when it comes to baiting
are all there—umpire baiting, espec ;
ially, being a favorite diversion with
them.
The Cordele “Kids” are such by size
and the alliteration, the sound being
pleasant to the ear of the Cordele fan.
The Valdosta team was named in
such a happy and altogether suggest
ive way that the name^has stuck to
them from the first. An Albany man
was the one who gave It to them dur
ing the exhibition games that they
played here during Chautauqua week.
They are the "Vagrants.” Alliteration
plays a prominent part here, also, and
then they are such a good-for-nothing,
slip-shod crowd, when compared to the
Albany club, that the name couldn’t
help sticking.
And us! Say, there isn't any hardly
good enough for us. The names that
the leaders in the other leagues have
adopted fall far short of anything that
the Albany team deserves. But be
cause they have been making such an
up-hill fight, and are winning out, and
because they are going to the top by
leaps and bounds, it has been decreed
after these many days that they shall
be henceforth known as the “Olimb-
ers.” No name has been suggested up
to date that suited them, and it was
decided that perhaps the hoodoo would
spread his wings and get himself an
other boarding place if a name was
given to them.

Tho ball fever has spread among
the Albany folkB to such a degree that
the young pen of the cit]l are organiz
ing teams with a fervor that is only to
be engendered by the great national
game. The young men employed in
the wholesale houses in the city and
those in the retail stores have each
organized, and they will settle their
dlfiiculties on the diamond, .ambling
round the bases and indulging in swat-
tests.
The young railroad men may also
get up a team, and the schoolboys are
talking of getting together. There is
lots of good material in town and a
lot of nice amriteur ball will be wit
nessed If they get to playing. With
the railroad men this is especially
true, a lot of college players being in
their ranks. Johnny Crews and his
brother are both stars'; 0. C. Wight-
man has quite a local reputation as a
twlrler, and there are several others
of ability.
There are already two gameB sched
uled. Thursday the High School boys
will play a picked team from town and*
Friday the wholesale and retail teams
will line up.
