would kindly Interpose; sometimes
tbey would go baek, sometimes'not.
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

BECOMING \
A MOTHER
Is an ordeal Which aO
women approach with
indescribable fear, for
nothing compares with
the pain and horror of
child-birth. 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.

FAN-ATICS.
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.”
