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.

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.
