IN THE SPRIiTG
"In the spring a young man's fancy
turns t o . . , . . " everything but s c h o o l . In
fact
tho only school Milne students
think of i s Albany High, when they l a z i l y i.i)ok out the v/indows to sec equally
lazy pupils,
and to wave and stace at
each other, v/hile the teachers at Milne
ramble on to themselves about nothing in
p a r t i c u l a r and everything in g e n e r a l .
During the vdnter, p e o p l e sometimes
c a l l an o f f - d a y "Blue Monday", but in
the spring i t ^ s not only "Blue Monday",
but "Blue Tuesday, Blue Wednesday, Blue
Thursday, and BUio Friday" as w e l l .

It is
as

Over three hundred thousr.nd

games as "One Old Cat", "Two Old Cat",

resembling b a s e b a l l as we know i t today.
Town B a l l , which corresponded most c l o s o l y , d i f f e r e d from b a s e b a l l

The Alba.ny Senators are o f f t o a
"bad s t a r t so i t may scorn to most, "but
they r e a l l y liave q u i t e a l o t of good
material.
The Albany i n f i o l d e r ^ s

veteran play err., Although you may be a
l i t t l e doubtful about Bernio Snyder,
they^ve s t i l l got the f a s t base runner
Lange f o r the j o b » The other
inficlders
are a l l staunch vetv-^^rans.
The o u t f i e l d e r s a l s o arc good vdth

Ec^-die Leonard. A l s o , there i s a v e r y
promising Hoo'zic V the name of Ralph

so good but tiicy r e a l l y have good p i t chers, mostly veterans and you
must
remember th:.t Albraiy ended in the f i r s t
