Attorneys-at-Law, Bayers
weather has been unpropltlous for sev
eral weeks.
.Downfall of League Likely.
The Albany fans are very much ex
ercised over the news of the disband
ing of the Americus team, for it places
the league on a very wobbly founda
tion. Unless some other town can be
induced to take the place vacated by
the City of Sumter, the disbanding of
Sellers of Real Estate.

Mercer, p.,...
the Americus team means the down
fall of the league.
The Columbus news is also inter
esting. Although Columbus has had
a line team and has been playing win
ning ball all the season, the patronage
given the game in the biggest city in
the circuit has been smaller than that
of any other place in the league. Col
umbus is evidently no sporting town.
Brunswick has been after the Colum
bus franchise, and it is probable that
the Columbus team will be transferred
to the City by the Sea.
It is hoped that Moultrie will take
the Americus franchise and come into
the league. It is known that Moultrie
was anxious to come into the league
a few weeks ago, and made a try for
the Albany franchise. If Moultrie
comes into the league and the Colum
bus franchise is transferred to Bruns--
wick, the league will continue on
through the season and the regular
schedule of games will be played.
It is very unfortunate for the Albany
Ball Club that this league trouble
should come just when all the local
troubles had been straightened out.
The Albany club has just purchased
the local franchise' and put the local
team on a good financial basis. If the
season continues the management will
work out and probably pay out with
out appreciable Iosb, but if the league
goes’ to pieces now it will cost those
who came to the rescue of the Albany
team several hundred dollars.
Further developments In this matter
will be watched with interest.
Brunswick Takes Columbus Team.
Special to The Herald.
Savannah, Ga., June 18.—Owner Sav-
erese, of the Columbus baseball team,

sale of that club to a Brunswick syn
dicate. The first game under the new

The Climbers received their fourth
straight shut-out Saturday afternoon,
when the Fishermen defeated them to
the tune of 3 to 0.
Last week was an oil week for the
Climbers. JUBt as everyone expected
them to do some ascending up the per
centage column their feet slipped and
they continued to slip all week. They
played five games during the week
and were defeated in every one, fail
ing to score’ in the la(jt forty innings
of play. „
Yet the Climbers played pretty ball
all last week. At times the fielding of
the home team has been - brilliant.
Only, one of the games last week was
lost through poor fielding. AH of this
brings us right up to the old baseball
saying that good fielding will Save a
game, but it takes good batting to win
one.
The stick work of the Albany boys
was all to the bad for the last four
games. Time after time when a nice
clean single would mean a winning
run or two the Albanians would step
up to the plate, spit on their hands,
and maul the air. But they couldn’t
line ’em out so as to make the scorer
get busy in the "lb" column.
Mercer, who did the slab work for
the Fishermen Saturday, is a good
twlrler, hut he was not in good shape
for Saturday’s game, and he looked so
easy to the grandstanders that they
were sorely disappointed when the
Climbers found him for only three
binglets.
Saturday’s game was without any
sensational features. Both teams
played hard, clean ball and the score
was close enough for the Spectators to
cling to a. hope for victory till the very
last. Klrkman was the star performer
for the Climbers, both on the diamond
and with the willow. He drove out
two’of the.three hits credited to Al
bany. - "*
Albany went to Columbus yesterday
for three games, after which they go
to Americus for three games. It. is
hoped that better luck will attend their
playing this week.
The score of Saturday's game fol
lows:
Americus Drops from the
Georgia State League, and
the Franchise of Columbus
Remains Shaky.

The Atlanta Constitution of this
morning contains two items of utmost
interest to the baseball enthusiasts of
■Albany.
One tells of the fall of'the Americus
team, and the other of the unsettled
state of the Columbus franchise mat
ter. The items, follow:
Americus Quits.
Americus, Ga., June 17.— (Special.)
—Amferlcus has quit the game, and
very probably will have no more
league baseball. At a meeting of the
baseball association totlay it was fie--
cided to surrender the franchise, and
the team will disband Monday unless
President Thomas concludes to carry
it As the result of alleged poor man
agement at the beginning of the sea
son, the club has been hampered finan
cially, although the local association
has paid the salary account due the
players by the former management,
and put the team upon a better basis.
Americus has given the team splendid
support financially and otherwise, but
the venture is unsuccessful, and will
be abandoned.
Columbus Franohlse Wabbles.
.Columbus, Ga., June 17.—(Special.)

more games of league baseball, wheth
