SHOWING OF GIANTS
A FEATURE OF WEEK
Wagner is About Through as
a Regular

New York, July THE outstanding
features of the baseball week Just
ended was the rise of the New York
club to leadership in the National
league race. The seven-day period.
with its heavy schedule, including tie
double headers on the Fourth, was a
history making one in many respects.
Coincident with the upward leap of
the Giants came the fall of the Phila-
delphias, who dropped from first posi-
ton for the first time since early :.
the season, and of the Brooklyns,
whose pennant aspirations met a Sc
back through drubbings by Boston and
New York. Chicago came up with /
rush. The Giants charge however,
stands out as perhaps the most sig
nificant happening of the baseball year
so far. Their weeks record of sew
en- games won and none lost, rounded
out an unbroken string of eleven
straights. They have won 26 out OF
their last 80. Philade'phia's pitching
STAFF is showing the predicted effect
cf the strain of keeping the club at
the top with Alexander and Seaton as
lie only really dependable members.
The story in the American league is
almost the same from one week to al
Other Some weeks the Athletics play
excellent ball and the next the qualify
is super-excellent.
Boston and Washington had one of
the stubgorn series, the Senators COM
ire out decisively with four straightS.

pace; St. Louis and Detroit lost
ground. The New Yorks had a poor

PRICE FINDS ROUGH ~
GOING At BEGINNING
Instant Calls Received For
Fertilizer Inspections

Atlanta, July commissioner of
Agriculture Price finds himself con-
fronted with serious difficulty in al
ministering his Office just after TAX
ing hold, through the fact that all the
long-term fertilizer inspectors, six in
number, are located, with single eX-
Iception north of Pike county.
Scores of letters are coming to the
new commissioner daily, asking for
inspection of lots of fertilizers, rang
| ing from 100 to $50 tons, in the south
ern half of the state. One of the IN
spectors, all of whom were appointed
| by Commissioner Conner, and whose
tenure of Office continues far into next
year. resides in Chatham The other
FIVE are distributed geographically as
| follows: One in Barlow, one in Cobb,
one in Jackson, one in Coweta and
one in Pike.
Under an insistent call just coming
in from Thomas county, it became
necessary to send the Pike county
inspector to Thomasville, mourning
travelling expenses of some $50. A
few days ago the same inspector was
sent to Sumter county.
Bulk Sold in South.
Inasmuch as the great bulk of fer
tilizers is sold south of Atlanta, nat
IRA ly many demands on the depart
ment for inspection come from south
of Macon and Augusta. In nearly all
such cases man must be sent from
Savannah. or one of the north Georgia
counties. This is expected to make an
unusually heavy expense account for
inspection, as the railroad fare
alone will form a very considerable
item
Under the new law. there are six
long-term men, working the year
round and six short-term men, who
| ,,z,,,- -, >. fo,,r months q vear in what
| is termed the busy season. The time
of all these expired June l, and they
cannot be called on legally to do any
more work until next spring, In or
der to satisfy himself along this line,
Commissioner Price asked the attorney
general for an opinion. and was ad-
vised that short-term men coud not
legally be employed beyond their four
, month terms.
These are the condition confronting
Commissioner Price. He is tied mas
much as the appointments made oy
Commissioner Conner stand until next
year. and removals can be made only
for specific charges. In this connec-
ton. Commissioner Price stated to-
day:
