By the way, Mr. Kipp, a third base man among the Vagrants, was fined tull $5 tor replying unkindly to the umps. While these conferences were in session there waB a great making of gestures, right and' left the hands of the pro and con players waved, east and west, and then again they slung them, Weekes, the gentleman accused —unjustly, of course—of spending a few hours with Bacchus, god of beer, gesturing In return. ‘'Peck” Walters, manager, expressed his opinion of Mr. Weekes In language that shocks the ear of the Sunday school teacher. Crosley wasn't In the error class, neither were Snod or DeCosta. The yellow-haired caught several Innings, McCormack getting a finger painfully mashed. Nunley went to right, Nolley to left, Snod to first, DeCosta behind the plate. He seemed to be at home there. Nolley got four hits, all told, which Isn't bad. Weekly was hit on the ankle, and for’a while It was thought he was out, but he gamely pitched it over the rest of the time. And he really showed up well. Ten hits, It Is true, but only six runB against him. The hits were scat tered, and then his team-mates made nine errors themselves. He also put it over .the left field fence. OFFICIAL SCORE OF THE GAME. Most doleful was the Climbers' clamber-down yesterday. It was ad errarful game all the way through, and most of them were rather Inex cusable. Posey, while he gave five two of the opposing ones, really did pitch a good game. It wasn’t him; it was several of the others who did the things that let Valdosta walk away, free and careless, rejoicing in the praise of Arthur Starr, heaping cuss words upon “His Umps,” laughing with savage mirth at the Climbers and the Joyous confidence that comes with a won series, and on the road at that, filling their hearts. The first inning was void of results. Then In the second the visiting Va grants scored five. It looked gone then, but it wasn’t. The Climbers scored three In the same Inning, an other In the next, tlelng it In the fifth. The sixth was a duplicate of the first. But in the unlucky seventh—that most unreliable, uneasy, hardest managed of, all innings ■ always, on a combina tion of three hits and seven errors, they came in six times. Then It was gone, and vengeance Is mine, Valdosta salth. Nevermore In that ill-fated game did we catch up, once Nolley came in, but the lead was too much. The men seemed not to have any team work at all. It was all Individ ual playing, and the men who tried to cut down their fielding averages sue-, ceeded beyond a doubt. Thirteen er rors are theirs to have and to hold, ten hits against five for Valdosta, this they did, and the rest was lacking. Posey struck out nine, yielded only five hits, but the score Is there in un relenting figures. The big southpaw was almost crying with vexation when he came off the field. For some rea son he can’t get the men to back him up, and he deserves a better fate. He is really—leaving hot air, forced opti mism, and all that sort of thing, out in discussing It—a brilliant pitcher. But when the knowledge comes over a pitcher that he has to strike them nearly all out, or lose, It’s very dis heartening, and that wns his plight yesterday. Kicking characterized the game. Weekes came In for abuse from most everybody, and was only master of the situation by most strenuous ef forts. They were really wicked enough to accuse him of being—really, In all seriousness, the charge was made- drunk. Ground rules wore the cause of the trouble, on a wild throw the whole thing would come In, racing round the sacks with a mad reckless ness, and then each and every player ALBANY— AB R H PO A B Blared, 2b 5 0 1 3- 1 1 DeCoBta, lb and c.. 5 0 1 5 0 0 ftoyd, 3b 4 '0 0 0 0 4 Siner, ss 5 0 0 2 I 3 Snodgrass, if and lb. 5 1 3 6 0 0 McCormack, c. .... 4 2 1 8 1 2 Crosley, of 4 1 0 2 0 0 Nolley, If. and rf... 4 2 4 0 0 1 Posey, p. 4 0 1 1 2 1 Nunley, rf. 1 0 0 1 0 1 Total y... 44 6 10 27 5 13 VALDOSTA— AB R H PO A B Kipp, 3b 4 0 1 1 0 0 Walters, c 5 1 1 5 1 1 Crowder, ss 3 1 0 2 3 1 Tideman, cf 6 2 0 2 0 1 LaMotte, rf 2 1 6 0 0 2 Burden, lb 4 2 111 0 2 Mitchell, 2b 5 2 0 2 3 0 Dinkins, if 4 i 0 1 0 0 Weakley, p. 4 1 1 0 3 1 Bagwell, rf 3 1 1 3 0 1 ' Total 40 12 5 27 10 9 Innings— 123 466 789— R.

The thought of the suffering and danger in store for her, robs the expectant mother of all pleasant anticipations of the coming event, and casts over her a shadow of gloom which cannot be shaken off. Thousands of women have found that the use of Mother’s Friend during pregnancy robs confinement of all pain and danger, and insures safety to life of mother and child. This scientific liniment is a god-send to all women at the ' time of their most critical trial. Not only does Mother’s Friend carry women safely through the perils of child-birth, but its use gently prepares the system for the coming event, prevents “morning sickness,” and other dis- -comforts of this period.

Klrkham’s wrist is still In bad shape. Just twenty-two errors. Ib that enough? Weakley, it seems, can. bill them with ease. I Scott, of Cordele, continues to play a fast game. Sohni, Cordele’s cast-off, Is making good In Columbus. Peek Walters Is a good catcher, if he Is a good kicker, also. The Valdosta outfield can’t compare with that of Snodgrass. Nolley waB a hero with the stick; four times did he swat it. Kipp, the “ kid ” of the Vagrant bunch, Is a sometime sticker. Now, why can’t Posey win when he pltohes a game like yesterday’s? Nine games on the road now. We must have a 1 safe majority of these. The first ball knocked was a high pop that Slner pulled In after a hard run. Poole and Dudley are now full- fledged members of the Amerlcus team. It was Walen, he of the sorrow- ful mien, who won that Amerlcus game. Here’s hoping It will be a long time before yesterday’s exhibition is duplt cated. In Columbus strenuous days have passed, and Joyful ones for the Fish ermen. That game t)>at Amerlcus won from Cordele wasn’t at all a surprise, of course. Harry Griffin, of Waycross, takes rank with our own Eldred as a second baseman. ^ Boyd was quite regular in his habits yesterday, going to the error column four times. Burden, Valdosta’s first baseman, has a wing that is hardly surpassed by any other in the circuit Weakley was really badly hurt when a wild pitch got him on the ankle. He showed remarkable nerve In twirling out the rest of the game, Most of the clubs In the circuit are improving In the sort of ball they put up. Slugging and errors don’t play as important a part as formerly. Yesterday was a glorious day for the kicker. Weekes came In for a lot of it, but he don’t care. Things looked a little squally for a while between him and Walters. LaMotte was unfortunate enough to make it wild throw from right y'eii day to the plate, letting In a run. So Ireful became Starr that he ordered In the unhappy one at once, sending Bag- well to cover the garden. The Albany bunch is better than the Vagrants, despite the protests of those who win their bets one day and talk, who lose the next and knock. Just why the men chose to put up the article they did isn’t clear, but they outclass the Valdosta club. Some of the fans at the park yester day were asking President Arthur Starr about Quitman getting Valdos ta’s franchise. Among other questions one of them asked: “Will they take the franchise down there?” "Will they?” he quoted scornfully In reply. “Nobody owns a dollar In It except me and I don’t reckon they will take It down there till I .get ready, and that won’t be soon, either.” Plano Tuning and Organ Repairing.
