indicate an increase of Is per cent

twenty per cent.
In our published report for 1913
the number of lsilos given in some of
the counties was in excess of the num-
Der actually built, and printers errors
in few counties increased the num-
Der beyond the actual number in use
In answer to the question as to
what material is most commonly used
for building silos, 81 reporters in the

the most commonly used and II re-
port concrete as the most popular ma
terial; in the central division So re-

STANDING OF CLUBS

Cordele has won another. Yester-
days game was won by the Babies 2
to 0, with Baby Wilder playing the
stellar role of the performance. The
infantile phenomenon was at his best
and the Muckalees were unable to
cross the rubber in the nine sessions
the game lasted.
Zapke worked for Americas and de
served a tie. The only run made OH
him was the result of an error on a
difficult chance in the outfeld. The
pitcher whose cognomen resembles the
name of a soft drink, was steady, and
had plenty of stuff on every ball he
threw over.
Cordele's only earned run came in
the eighth when Bankston hit one OF
Tillman's offerings over the fence for
a home run. Tillman was sent in to
pitch after Manchester had batted TO-
Zapke in the eighth.
Today the Muckalees are going to
give the Babies battle royal. Bruins
wick is pressing too close on their
heels for comfort. A win today will
keep Americas ahead of the Pilots re-
-sardless of whether Otto wins or loses
and the boys are going after that win.
