THE ALBANY DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, JUNE 18, 1906. ED. R. a CLAYTON JONES. 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. Fisher, ss. .. Hessler, 3b. . Hamburg, lb. Dillard, 2b. .. Foster, rf. ... Flood, If 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, in Savannah last night announced the sale of that club to a Brunswick syn dicate.

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.

Yours for square deal, G. L. SHEPPARD, Agt. Chattanooga Brew ing Co. 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.) —Columbus will, see at least three more games of league baseball, wheth er the city's franchise Is transferred to Brunswick or remains here.
