 Albany annexed two more
 games yesterday. The improved
 playing of the Albany club was the source of an interesting conversation among a group of fans in the grand stand yesterday at Newf1eId Park. ohS "Cu kho"H Ian ana q loyal. attendant at games. declared Paddy OConnor today has the best balanced team in the league and that inc veteran manager deserves great cyredit for rounding into shape a team in the face of great obstacles.
 The fan insisted that Albany would today beat New Haven if a playoff of a special series was arranged and that he would back them for 1000 or more. Although Albany was hard hit by the assertion of three of it's best players, Dameron, Sweatt and Tamm, the fans declared O'Connor has obtained better players in their stead. He praised highly the work of Donovan on first. Murphy on sec- ond, EmmerS at shortstop and Tay- Tor at third. He also put Callahan down one of the best backstops in the league.
 With Mates, Thormalen and Etten in the box, he said, New Haven would be beaten in a play off.
 The fan also cited the per-
 formance of the Albany club in holding Bridgeport scoreless for
 35 innings and losing the next
 game by the narrow margin of
 one run.
 The dope looks good to. those who heard it dished off the griddle in red hot form and there were no argU. ments offered to the contrary.
