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. THE GAME IN DETAIL. First Inning.

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 work.—New York World. 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.
