Many baseball historians, in re-
COY ting the glories of great in
fielders, past and gone, completely
ignore George Smith, the Altoona
boy who played short after Jack
Glasscock had jumped to Henry v.
Lucas Union league. Smith re-
placed the greatest shortstop of the
old days. He was short and stocky.
He took the place Of the tall, agile
pebbles" A great crowd-great
for those days-went out to see
Smiths debut; went out to sheer,
but remained to cheer.
Smith, awkward on his feet,
scared by the crowd, awed by the
stories he had heard Of his prede-
cessor's powers, reported at the
hall park early.

THE COTTON CROP
IN THIS STATE IS
VE6Y SHORT
REPORTS RECEIVED IN ATTAIN
Ia INDICATE A BIG FALLING
OFF IN THE FLEEcY STAPLE
CORN CROP GOOD.

Atlanta, July 22.-Based on reports
received from many Georgia COUP
ties, and which are now being COM
piled for the issuance of a bulle:e
the State Department of Agricultui.
predicts falling off in the cotton
crop of 95 to 40 per cent.
With this prediction realized, Geor-
gia would make this year only about
one million and two hundred thous-
and bales, as compared with her
bumper crop of nearly two million
bales.
The department states that tie
condition of the Georgia cotton crop
is the worst known in ten years, due
to excessive and continued rains,
which produced grassy fields; and
lack of much needed sunshine. The
crop also is from three to four weeks
late.
May Go To 20 Cents.
Commissioner T. G. Hudson says
he would not be surprised if Geor-
gia should make only half a crop
and he offers the prediction that the
price will go the coming season as
high as 20 cents.
On the other hand, the department
states that Georgia has made a splen-
did crop of corn. The uplands corn
is 110 to lis per cent, as compared
with an average, and the yield is
larger by Is to 20 per cent, according
to reports than heretofore known
Corn in the lowlands however, has
been damaged by overflow, and this
may make some reduction in the ag-
gregate yield, but how much cannot
yet be stated.
South Georgia especially has made
a magnificent corn crop. Oats, wheat
and hay are in generally good condi-
ton though considerable loss has
been experienced in the harvesting
of these crops on account of the
rains. The pea crop, following grain
is in fine shape and gives splendid
promise.
Georgia has had an abundant crop
of fruit and the season is just now
at it's height though only fair re-
truns have been received from that
portion of it which has been mar
keted
