LOCAL BASEBALL TEAM WENT
DOWN TO DEFEAT YESTERDAY
Combacks Lost Game in Ninth Inning to Albany Babies By
Score of 5 to 4—Augusta to Play Nine More Games Here
Before Hitting the Road Again—Columbus, Macon and
Jacksonville.
The Combacks lost the third game of
the series yesterday afternoon to the Al
bany Babies by the score of 5 to 4. Al
bany tied ihe game up in the eighth in
ning and then put over the winning run
in the ninth.
The errors made by the local aggre
gation were largely responsible for their
downfall.
The fo’lowing is the results of til
ings in which the runs were scored:
Albany—First inning: McDowell step
ped up to the plate and rapped out a.
two-hacger in the right field zone. Park
er followed with a bunt, but was un
able to beat it out. Hanna rapped a
bounder to second, and was also thrown
out. Cochrane was next and swung at
the pill and missed it. So did Wallace,
therefore admitting McDowell to score
the first run for the opponents. It
was • wild pitch for Snyder. Cochrane
,it to left. Th ! s retired the side.
TV* started their end of the
frist inning with two runs, which were
scored in the following manner: Bur
gess sent a slow’ bounder through sec
ond base, and landed safe on first. Smith
followed w th another of 'he same brand,
sending his through third and short.
Safe on first and second, respectively.
Mackert sacrificed. Clark was next
end seeing that the hole between third
and short was still open he proceeded to
drive the pill there. Th s brought in
Burgess. Berger singled to center.
Center fumbled the bad. thus enabling
him to swing the second bag and in
cendentnllv to score Smith. Clark was
safe on third. Brouthers bunted and
landed safe on first, as the ball was
held by Webs in order to put out Clark
who was on bis way home. He suc
ceeded, and by the way th s retired the
side.
Tied In Fifth.
Albany tied up the game in the fifth
inning. Erwin flew out to center.
Manush singled to center in the form of
a trap. He then attempted to steal
second and was successful on Wallace's
short throw. Wells popped his just
over second’s head. Smith, Macketrt
and Clark all attempted to cop this one
and the results were that it was drop
ped thus allowing him to anchor on the
third sack, and also to bring in Manush.
This broke up the tie. giving the Babies
a lead of one run over the local aggre
gation. Durmeyer was the next to face
the local twirler and met his fate via the
Clark-BergeT route. Morrow was “kill
ed” trying to steal home.
The Combacks tied up the game in the
sixth and then topped it with another
run in the seventh inning. The fol
lowing is the results of the two in
nings, respectively:
Sixth —Brouthers started this inning
off with a pop foul off third. Manager
Manush nabbed it. Kelly sent his
crawling through the right infield and
succeeded in landing safe on first. Wal
lace rapped a hot one to short which
w r as fielded and quickly thrown to sec
ond, thus cutting off Kelly. Wallace
was safe on first. Snyder then faced
the Baby twirler and proceeded to rapt
out a line drive which fell right on the
right field line. This was good for two
biases and also good enough to score
Wallace. Short copped Burgess’ ground
er and threw him out.
Seventh Inning.
Seventh —Short errored on Smith’s
bounder, which allowed him to reach the
first sack Mackert succeeded in plac
ing a bunt “just where it ought to be.”
Safe on first and second. Clark fol
lowed suit, but the pill did not fall in
the right spot and the results were that
he was thrown out. Parker errored on
Berger's 1 ne drive but picked the ball
up and threw him out at first just in
time, that is Just in time for Smith to
score. Brouthers rapped his to short
and was thrown out. This retired the

SILESIAN PEASANTS IN
A BEGGING CONDITION
Berlin.—Amazing stories are being
printed in the German newspapers
concerning the terrible predicament
of Silesian peasants in the neighbor
hood of Cracow. Thousands of men,
women and children, mostly Poles
and Ruthenians, who have come over
♦he border from Galicia, are there
begging for food. They belong to
the agricultural population of that
country, and have been totally ruined
by bad harvest and general distress
prevailing in Austria in consequence
of the money spent for mobilization
during the two Balkan wars. Men
are willing to sell their daughters
and wives, even, for a piece of bread.
A great many are ill from starvation
and exposure, but the glorious Prus
sian police have found at last remedy
for these poor wretches. They are
being driven back like cattle across
the border. Five hundred of them
have been so returned, How many
1 erished on the way the officials do
not report. There are no coroners
in Prussia.

order, of the finest woolens, $25.00,
