Although the score Is a safe one, It
wasn't at one stage of the game, and
quite shaky were the hopes of the fans
at the telephone return. But Walen,
the best of the Americas pitchers, by
the way, was hit by a hot liner that
Nolley smashed out, and his hand was
ntng to take care of themselves It Is'
looking like a pennant race after all'
The men, with the exception of Mc
Cormack and Klrkham, are In prime
condition and will be in shape to do
something with Cordele the last three
days of next week. Somehow, though
the rest' of the dubs find It a little
hard to handle them, they are easier
to the Climbers than some that are be
low them In the percentage column.
Of course there has been a lot of
changing on that club since they were
here at the opening of the season.

FAN-ATICS.
It had to be won, and It was.
The series, too, Is safe.-'
never the same after that. He wasn’t
taken out, but he might as well have
been, for the Climbers started In then
and proceeded to pile them up. Their
success was so great that they added
five to the four that were the result
up till this time. After that the rest
was easy.
Osment has left Cordele and now
covers first for the Climbers. It will
be remembered that In the first game
of the series that Cordele played here
he got three two-base hits oHt of three
times up. His hitting yesterday was
terrific and the game Is largely the re
sult of his work. Snodgrass Is to be
congratulated on securing him. He Is
a valuable acquisition to any team.
DeCosta had to catch again. Mac is
still laid up and may be out for a while
longer. Boyd was at third again, Klrk
ham having that Wrist still 'in ban
dages. But In spite of mat the team
won. It. Is in a very badly crippled
condition now, and the fact that It Is
holding Its own In the fix that It Is In
Is only an Indication of what the men
will do when the whole team Is In
good shape. Perhaps when It strikes
Valdosta the men will be able to get
In the line-up—those that are not now
—and at. least two of the games with
them should be the property of Snod’s
men. But the Vagrants are putting up
a very fine article now and to win will
not be an easy matter, by any means.
Still, in spite of the vicissitudes of
fortune It may he the luck of the Clim
bers to come back from their trip with
three won series.
Nunley, as usual, played a hard
game. Depend on him to work. Sure
ly he Is in earnest. He takes advan
tage of every chance and the way he
Is In the game all the time Is good to
see. Especially as this Is a weak
point with the rest of the men. Of
late they have grown somewhat leth
argic. True, there has been a lot to
make this the • case, but until they
learn that don’t-give-up spirit that Is
characteristic of "The Kid” there isn’t
going to be much climbing for them.
Also the ginger isn’t what it should
be, even when they are playing a win
ning game.
Nolley has shown once more that
he Is a twlrler Of the first water; and
he possesses that quality rarely found
In the pitcher, the ability to hit and
field bis position. Tribble, of Way-
cross, and Weekley, of Valdosta, are
really about the only other pitchers In
the league that possess this qualifica
tion. Noiley has won the respect of
the fans, who were hammering on him
when that first game that he pitched In
Waycross went wrong. They have
withheld their praise until he _ has
It In him, and lots of It, too. But he
won them by his undoubted ability,
and he hasn’t catered for their favor,
either. ,
Anyway, It was won. It couldn’t
have been expected of Amerlcus that
they take two In succession; but they
have let It be known In a most effect
ive way that they will not be the
laughing stock of the circuit any long
er. The weak points have * been
strengthened and the strong ones
made stronger since Coniff has taken
hold of it It was time that something
be done, however, for as it was, with
Waycross way In the lead and Amerl
cus way at the bottom the interest
was rapidly ebbing. Now that Colum
bus and Cordele are taking care of the
leaders and the tail-enders are begin-
DeCosta keeps his talk going all’ the
time, and It helps.
RIckert Is playing the outfield
great Bhape In New Orleans.
In
Bonhannon Is one of the good men
that are wasted on Nashville.
Manuel is one of the New Orleans
pitchers that isn’t appreciated as he
should be.
The Waycross team couldn’t win
forever. It was only a question of
time with them.
It is a feat for the Cellarites to.get
even one out of a series. They hardly
expect that much.
Atlanta has been fattening off Little
Rock lately shamefully. It’s some
body else’B turn now.
Bert Noblett, now playing short for
Little Rock, is a lot better lnflelder
than most folks think.
Osment, the "Tramp,” don’t hit it at
all except sometimes, which was near
ly all the time with him.
Childs must make good in Atlanta
quick or go. That is the dictum of
Billy Smith.
Sorrell Is picking up at third with
Amerlcus. Kipp Is as good as any of
them, though.
And Nunley got one that took him
to'third. It was a rocky day for Mr.
Walen, anyway.
Rhoton, who starred with Meridian
In the Cotton States last year, 1b quite
a success in Macon.
Poole now runs about in right for
the Tal’enders. He has only played
on three teams in one month.
There were a good many errors In
yesterday’s game. The rest of the
clubs put up a rather neat game.
Lane, the much ^advertised, couldn’t
make good on first with the Amerlcus
team, is It necessary to say more7
It’s a little strange that some days
the Cordele club has nlmost a walk
over and the next loses after a hard
fight.
Beusse sees that the rest of the
season Is going to be hard work all
the time. It should have started
sooner.
No matter what about the Savannah
team’s work at present, there Is no
doubt of the sincerity and earnestness
of Mathews.
The Fishermen aren’t doing at all
badly now. They rather fixed Way-
cross and it; looks as If tfie series with
Valdosta Is theirs.
There Is royal discontent In Bir
mingham these days. Almost every
thing bad that can be thought of Is
being applied to the Barons.
hold of the Montgomery -club. It
needed a lot more than a mere man
ager.
N It Is rumored that Wagnon will get
Into faster company before long. If
any o't the Georgia State lnflelders
will, he will be in ’the bunch.
Dick Crosier, can show most any of
them pdtnts about the way to play the
outfield. The Atlanta papers get quite
hysterical over h(m sometimes.
Spade Is fast losing ground In Ma
con. When he came there this year
he was given the glad band by every
one and every opportunity to win was
given him.
Harry Kane is one of the few best
pitchers In the South Atlantic. Savan
nah would be a lot lower In the column
If it were not for the work he has
done and Is continuing to do.
The club that wins on a batting ral
ly In the ninth has something In it,
and-that Is what Cordele did In Way-
cross. The grandstand had already
begun to empty when they started In.
Hessler has a .300 batting average
now. Of course he can’t keep that up
all summer, but It shows what is In
him. He batted better than that when
he was here. The Columbus team
owes a lot to the fact that they are a
gang of sluggers.
One reason for the success of the
Augusta club Is found In their Infield.
Shlppey and Sandy McKernan would
be stars in even faster company. Ship-
pey Is as fast a third sacker as the
Sallie has.
Shreveport and New Orleans ’ are
having It like New York and Chicago.
Those who ought to know profess to
believe that the Pelicans will have the
staying power. But. the same ones
have been predicting that the Pirates
would go down long before this.
Macon has supported a poor ball
club a lot better than was expected of
them. They never were so much to
come out to see a winning team play
and the rest of the towns naturally
thought that they would stay at home
altogether when the Champs began to
slump.
Morse Is now and always has been
characterized by a readiness, to take
all the hard chances that come up.
As a result his average Is not what It
might be, but that of the Atlanta club
is better. The fans that don’t judge
a player by his record In the guide,
but by his real work have a lot of
confidence in him.
Fisher, shortstop for Columbus,
comes of a baseb’all family, anyway.
He has two brothers that have long
been prominent in baseball circles.
One of them is no other than the re
doubtable Newt Fisher, so long- the
mogul of the Nashville team. The
other, Tom Fisher, played In the South
Atlantic League a while.'
Walters, mahager of the Valdosta
team, is a sincere if violent kicker. * 1 * * * * * * * e
The Valdosta team Owes a lot to the
way he works. He isn’t at all selfish,
either, In his endeavors and the men
under him have found it out already.
This Is the one drawback to so many
managers and it hurts the team worse
than anything else almost.
The games that the Albany team Is
now playing on the road are being re
ceived in detail by telegraph over the
Rialto. This is always a very inter
esting thing to hear, next to seeing
the- game ltBelf. Every move is re
corded and the spectator might as well
be at the game Itself, so real it is.
And the place is commodious and
spacious, there’s plenty of room, and
the best of order prevails. The fans
should turn out In large numbers to
see the plays of the Climbers as they
tear up the diamond.
A Canadian Paradise.
Temagaml is shaped like an octopus,
with long stretched out^nrms, and its
sbores are Indented with deep circling
bays, Island strewn und culminating in
sharp points and curves that add to
the beauty of this magical scene. "The
lake of deep waters!' is the meaning
of the Indian word, and they lie very
deep and cool in their bed of granite, in
stillness a perfect mirrdr, in storm
darkly menacing, with foam edged
waves Showing fanglike teeth. Being
a hundred Bquare miles In urea, Terna-
gami foams one of Canada’s great nat
ural reservoirs. Mighty rivers from
the height of land to the north flow
Into it, and It in turn feeds the streams
that flow southward, carrying their
life giving waters through the forests
to the peopled lands below. There are
1,400 lalahds In the lake, and the gov
ernment 1ms Included the whole area
in a magnificent forest reserve -of a
million und a half acres.—Kate West-

queer Thing. About Flame*.
There is a relation between the colot
of flame and the energy of the com
bustion causing It. The more vigorous
and complete the combustion the high
er the refrnnglbillty of the light A
flame burning In a tardy and restricted
way emits rays that are red. When
burning In a more complete nnd effec
tive manner the emitted rays change
to violet. The flame of a candle or a
lamp consists of n scries of eccentric
luminous shells surrounding a central
dark core. These shells of flam^ emit
light of different colors, the Innermost
one—that In direct contact with the
dark core—being red and having a tem
perature of exactly 87T degrees F.
Upon this and in their proper order of
refranglblllty are shells of light which
are orange, yellow, green, blue. Indigo
and violet. The reason that sucb a
flame does not appear to us ns a nest
of cones of different colored light Is
this: When we look upon such a flame
all of the rnys issuing from the dif
ferent layers or strata of concentric
luminous Bhells are received by the
retina of the eye at one and the same
time. This can only Impress with the
sensation of neutral or White light
Rubles*
The finest rubles are-Btlll kept In
Asia. Tbe Great Mogul bad 108 large
rubles In his throne, and among them
was one weighing two and one-half
ounces. Of European rubies Charles
the Bold, that luckless son of a for
tunate father, had three rubles called
the Three Brothers, of perfect color
and worthy size. They passed Into the
possession of James I., who sent them
to "Baby Charles.’’ There Is a large
heart shaped bains ruby In the Eng
lish crown. It has been neither cut
nor polished, 1b only semitransparent
and Is of a dark red, like a morello
cherry. Austria bad, or has, an orien
tal ruby the size of a ben’s egg, and
Queen Elizabeth showed Sir James
Melville- one as big ns a racket bull.
Runjeet Singli had s a large ruby with
the nnmes of many kings engraved on
it. Among them was that of Aurang-
zeb. A king of Persia had one which
he prized at the value of a city or even
a kingdom. It was a table cut balas
ruby of a beautiful color of at least a
finger’s breadth.
The Ship's Low.
Tbe record of a ship’s voyage Is
called its log because the observations
of its speed, usually taken hourly, by
the log line are a very Important factor
In tbe record. The log' line IS bo called
because the float attached to the lino
was originally a small log' or Btlck of
wood. This “log” Is now a square or
triangular piece of board weighted so
that It sits upright In the water. The
log line Is divided by knots or marks
Into lengths of fifty-one feet, which Is
about one one-hundred-and-twentleth
of a marldc mile, so that the ship Is
going ns many marine miles 'or knots
in an hour ns tbe uuinber of knots or
lengths that run off the reel in half n
minute when the “log” Is thrown over-
board.
Animals In Mohammedan Heaven.

time. These creatures were all saluted
for some special services which they
