little bit, too.' A double and a single
was his allotment Nunley can show
the rest of them a few about base run
ning, too. DeCosta was hitting a little
himBelf, duplicating Nunley’s record.
Nolley really pitched a nice game,
striking out eight, only yielding, four
hits and giving only one of the Va
grants the right to talte the Initial
sack in a walk. The fans are begin
ning to have all sorts of confidence In
the boy, as he himself has, which Is,
after all, one of the requisites of a
first-rate pitcher.
There Is only one more left with
them now and the boys, will easily
make It a won series. It Is needed
just at present to put the Climbers
still higher Up on the ladder. This
one taken, and then three straights
from the Cellarltes, and again at least
two from the Vagrants. By then the
team .will be in shape to put the lead
ers in the shade and themselves take
the place that it was meant for them
to occupy. The one who doubts that
this will he the case Is a pessimist of
the deepest dye and doesn’t deserve to
rank with the rest of the Albany fans
as a well-wisher of the team.
Posey pitches today. He Is in good
condition and eager for the chance to
show the rest what Is in him. He has
many supporters among the people
here, and while a little off on control,
he is what can be termed a "brilliant"
pitcher.

FAN-ATICS.
How’s that for revenge!
Valdosta, too, can play punk ball.
It’ll be hard today, but Posey will
be In charge.
The sacrifice hitters were much in
evidence.
DeCosta, as usual, was on all the
low balls.
The game was quite a surprise to
some of them.
wants to play the outfield for Ameri-
cus.
RIChnrds has the much touted Sor
rell skinned several when it’s third
basemen that are mentioned. Our
own Kirkham will pass either when
that wrlBt of his gets In shape.
The success of the Cordele club is
due In the main to one thing; Man
ager Holt and Field Captain Scott are
a unit. This is not always the case.
Witness Amerlcus; C'onitt wanders
around the grounds as if he were lost,
while Stevens does the bossing.
There was joy in Columbus when
they won by a narrow margin over the
leaders. The Columbus club has been
afraid that with Cordele playing Amer-
icus and themBelves playing Waycross,
they might go down one in the per-
centage column, Cordele going up.
SMUGGLING FOR FUN.
Siner’s place-hit over second quite
captured the fans.
There was a lively bunch of rooters
in the grandstand.
Mitchell got most of the assists for
the Vagrants—eight.
Burdem, the home run hero of Mon
day, fanned only three times.
Siner surprised himself and every
body else by striking out once.
Nolley’s control was excellent yes
terday, allowing only one base on
balls.
It was nearly identical with the flrst
game, only the seesaw waB higheBt on
our side. I
Boyd is coming in for u fair share of
the fans’ praise. He is working hard
these days.
Snodgrass’ catch in left against the
fence was heartily applauded, as it de
served to be.
McCormack and Nolley each stole
twice. Walters is hardly up to killing
the base runners as Stevens was.
And now, if Columbus loses today,
woe to the umpire. "Reddy” Cran
ston’s temper will be as virulent as his
hair.
Maybe, after today, we can wylte
out name In letters large one step
higher. The Climbers are clambering
all right.
The grass in the outfield has been
cut, It was time this was done. The
high weeds out there were responsible
for several fumbles.
Amerlcus, after a little reviving on
the part of the supporters of the
team, is losing heart again, and justly
wielding the hammer.
Crosley was up four times yesterday
and, strange to say, three of the times
went out the same wayr-grounding tp
second and out at first. f
In regard to bosslng.be this known;
Carlton Beusse is the only one at the
helm at Waycross, and results show
how beneficial such a system is.
Alexander, who left for Savannah
immediately after getting released* is
trying to get in -the, league again. He
Jntrt For the Bake of “Getting
Ahead** of the Government.
Smuggling for fun sounds ridiculous,
but customs Inspectors who have spent
the greater part of their life in the
service of the government. say. there,
are those who do it. Persistent ef
forts to detect those who would de
fraud the government have been re
warded by the almost total extinction
of the professional smuggler, but all
efforts have availed little against the
traveler abroad who purposely con
ceals some article of value simply for
the fun of “getting ahead” of the gov
ernment. 1
The government, detectives put smug
glers in four classes. The first Is the
thoughtless smuggler; the second, the
occasional traveler, who tries to smug
gle; the third, the professional smug
gler, and tile fourth, those who smug
gle for fun.
The professional smuggler has long
since ceased to trouble the federal of
ficers seriously. The odds against him
are so great that he has turned his in
genuity to some safer method of dis
honesty.
The last, the smuggler for fun, is a
bother. Usually the duty he Is at
tempting to save is hardly enough, to
pay for the trouble of detection. What
people smuggle covers everything that,
can be hidden.
Costly gems and jewels form ’ the
greater part of the dutiable property
seized by the customs officers. The
few professional smugglers confide
themselves to diamonds. The smug
gler for fun is as apt to try to get in a
pair of gloves, a bit of lace, drugs or
expensive cosmetics. Lace, silk and
bits of bric-a-brac find their way into
out of the way places In the trunks or
grips of the occasional travelers who
think If, perfectly Justifiable, to avoid
paying the duty.
Trqlned agents in every European
city know of every purchase of gems
or costly cloth destined for tills coun
try. Weeks before ihe purchaser
reaches this side of the Atlantic bis
name, address and the exact quantity
of goods he has purchased are in the
bands of the officers on this side. His
failure to mention nn article , of the
slightest value Immediately brings him
to the attention of the Inspectors, and
he Is fortunate to escape with no more
severe punishment than the confisca
tion of the dutiable property.
To defect the amateur smugglers re
quires keen detective work on the part
of the local customs officers. An es
pecially quiet looking man who ar
rived a few months ago had concealed
a beautiful diamond In tbe heart of a
lump of tobacco. The customs officer,
who had put this passenger down as
one of. the honest travelers, had his
suspicion aroused when he saw him
make a frantic grab for a half plug of
tobacco that he had accidentally drop
ped. Before the passenger could reach
the tobacco the officer had planted his
foot upon It and of course dlscovoved
the stone.
A smartly dressed woman who bad
been abroad for the summer limped so
painfully ns she came, down the gang
way troiii the steamer that The customs
officer who bud been detailed to Inspect
her luggage was moved to ask If she
had suffered an ; accident on the way
over. She replied that she had. Be
fore he completed the examination of
her score’of trunks he had excused
himself, sent another officer On board
and learned from the purser that the
woman had not limped at breakfast
that morning. She was asked to ac
company one of the women inspectors
to a private examination room, where
a magnificent ring waB found In the
toe of her boot.
Intuition more than anything else
aids the federal detebtlves In their

Fishing For RnUtlcrs. .,
Hunters have an Ingenious method
of, capturing, rattlesnakes, whose oil Is
believed to be a cure for deafness, r.iid
as such commands a big price. They
go about on warm days, carrying u
long fishing rod and a line, with u
sharp scythe, and when the reptile is
discovered, usually asleep near u loose
edge of rock, it is prodded more or less
gently with the rod. Like any other
sleeper suddenly interrupted, the snake
wakes up angry, makes a dart at the
nearest Irritating object, which is the
fish hook dangling near bis head from
the end of the rod, and very accommo
datingly allows the sharp hook,to pene-,
trate Its Jaws. The man wife the rod
holds the entrapped reptile at a safe
distance while his comrade moves up
and severs the snake’s head from tbe
body. The latter is then deposited In
a bag, and the hunters go in search
of fresh game.
