Dependent ON Hurlers.

The Giants must look to their pitch
erS from now on to carry them
through. The club, as whole, isn't
hitting-except in streaks. Some days
it makes enough hits and runs to win
a half dozen ordinary games, but for
spell of week or so it has mighty
job averaging two runs and four hits
to a game.
Chief Meyers. the erstwhi1e slugger
has been benched because of weak
clubbing Larry Doyle pounds Out
three or four hts some days-and goes
hitless for the next three or four. The
Giants aren't hitting in pinches just
now, and are losing games for the
lack of a timely punch.
Nor are they fielding or running
bases up to their old standard. The
team is in slump-and bad one.
It's up to Matty, Tesreau, Marquard
and Demaree to keep the champions
around the top. Demaree hasn't de-
livered this year. Marquard is pitch
ing in-and-out ball-a great game one
day and an eccentric one the next
Tesreau has been pitching fine ball
Matty has pitched better baseball
than at any time in his lone career
This pair has carried the brunt of the
Giants fight. But how long can they
keep it up?
If they can last out for another
month it may be sufficient time for
Marquard and Demaree to "come
through" But, at the rate they have
been travelling, that month may use
them up. They may pitch themselves
out-and then McGraw will have tc
depend on pitchers in whom he has
no confidence-andi in whom the play
ers have but little real confidence
this year.

We must make school teaching
eminently honorable. And the

The idea seems to be that in

have to go to the city.
Now, behold q reversal Of the
proposition. We ind schools be-

spending the day. The first school
of this kind to be established was
the Gilman Country School for

gan on an investment of $4,000,

DEMOCRATIC DIVISION EN-
coURAGEs ROOSEVELT
PARTY.
Editor The Georgian:

Editor The Georgian:
note with interest Mr.. Benja-
min Blackburn's letter in regard
to the Senatorship, and your edi-
torial in reply in regard to the
two factions in Georgia and the
Canal tolls.
There Is no doubt but that 1t is
unfortunate that there are two
bitter factions in the Democratic
party in Georgia, and no matter
how hard few leaders try to
keep this down at times 1t is go
ing to crop out when the heat OF
battle comes, and perhaps get
more bitter each time.
The only way this can be
avoided Is to build up the Pro-
gessive party in Georgia as an
opposition party. which would be
god send to the State, both
from a broad political point OF
view and also in a business sense,
and in that case the two factions
would unite against the opposing,
or Progressive party.
In regard to the Canal tolls,
can't see that II is a violation of
any treaty to allow our own ships
to pass from one part OF our own
country to the other without pay
ing tolls. 1t is simply an easy
way to encourage our coastwise
shipping, and will not compete at
all with the ships OF any foreign
nation. and do not think that
John Bull should try to dictate
10 us in regard to our home or
inland ommerce after we have
spent millions in money and ten
years of hard work in cigging
q our own canal Also, England
seems to have troubles enough at
home without attempting to die
tate or interfere with our domes-
tic affairs. c. W. MCCLURE.
