They are swallowed in the highways

merits of Charley Herzog, Giant sec ond baseman, and Eddie Collins. the brilliant second baseman of the White Sox.
 A terrific hitter, speedy baserunner brilliant fielder, and lightning thinker, Collins stands out as the greatest second baseman the game ever has known. Even now, after a period of batting depression, the former wonder of the old Athletics is striding into 300 form with vim that holds noth- ing good for the Giant pitchers.
 Like all the great batsmen, Collins work with the mace is natural. Hit ting left-handed pitching is only slightly more of task for him than smashing the right ht-handers. Me Graw's trio of sterling southpaws will have little effect on his average, pro- vided he plays in championship form. Collins has been accused this year of slowing up as a fielder and of playing stupid baseball, but this charge may be classed with the declaration that Ty Cobb was slipping. Ty slipped into the American Leagues batting leadership.
 In Herzog the Giants have a second baseman the equal of Collins as a fielder and thinker. The clash of wits between this pair should be fully as interesting as the battle of bats. Her zog's batting falls far below Collins mark, however, and it hardly can be said he exercises the same judgment in base running.
 The best baseball in Herzog's career will come out in the forthcoming series, if the injury to his back doesn't prevent. He is purely a fighter. The short series will bring every ounce of effort from his nerv- ous body.

GOVERNMENT WANTS MEN AND WOMEN TO ENFORCE
 CHILD LABOR LAWS
(By United Press.)

Washington, Sept. 1S.-Uncle Sam IS holding examinations today and to- morrow all over the country to secure eXperts-men and women-to assist m the chlld-conserving, baby-saving owrk of the Department of Labor in war time. Miss Julia c. Lathrop. chief of the Children's Bureau. needs "a corps of trained investigators to enforce the new federal child labor law. She also needs skilled women to aid in the prevention of infant nor tallty. To meet these demands civil service examinations are being con ducted today-and they are being conducted today-and they are ex- amlnations extraordinary, shattering the hoary traditions of competitive tests for government service.
 The men and women who are talk
 Ing these examinations are doing so Tn the comfort of their own homes. This new system eliminates the ne- cessity of writing and reading lengthy papers and of journeying far to civil service offices. All that is required is that candidate fill out blank stat ing his experience, some details of his personal history, and giving refer ences who can be approached confi- dentially. Those who pass the first examination satisfactorily become eligible for an oral test, which, ac- cording to Miss Lathrop, constitutes a radical departure from the old method which endeavored to disguise personality"
