TWO MESSAGES
FOR ASSEMBLY
Hardwick To Send Efficiency And
Prison Reports In Thurs NJ
day

ATLANTA, July 5. - Governor
Hardwick will send two messages to
the legislature Thursday. One will
deal with the recommendations of the
efficiency experts he employed to
check up on the various departments
of the state, while the other will en-
body the report of the five judges
of the superior court who recently
made an exhaustive probe of the
conditions at the state prison farm.
In his message regarding the re-
port of the experts the Governor
takes the position that it does not
matter where the expert came from,
but it is what they found to be true
j. j. Brown, commissioner of agri-
culture, whose department was sew
erely criticized in the report publish
ed recently that the men making the
investigation We're Yankees, and that
they had done work similar in South
Carolina which work was declared
unsatisfactory by the comptroller
general OF the state and the state
treasureE Governor Hardwick ia his
message to the general assembly will
g embody a letter from Governor
Cooper, of South Carolina, and from
Senator Christensen Of the same state
in which the work of teh experts is
highly praised. The governor has
other letters of recommendation from
the men if it becomes necessary to
use them.
The governor will state in his mes
sage that the insinuations made by j..
j. Brown and his associates regarding
the work Of Messrs. Tefford and Re
Der are absurd and puerile, and that
what the people want to Rnow is
whether the report js true. and if the
recommendations made can be car

RUNAWAY PACE OF GIANTS And
SUDDEN RUSH OF BROWNS Are
FEATURES OF PENNANT RACES
tBY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS,

New York, June 1S.-The COM
blnation of speed and batting
punch looms as the decisive factor
at the present stage of the major
league pennant races. The runa-
way pace of the New York Giants
during the past week, which left
them five and a half games in the
lead today, after q defeat at the
hands of st. Louis. and the sudden
rush of the st. Louis Browns to
the top, as the Yankees faltered,
can be laid largely to supremacy
over their rivals in these depart
ments.
The Browns increased their mar
gin to q game and a half today by
defeating Philadelphia while the
Yankees lost to Cleveland.
The Giants. whose winning
streak reached eight games before
it was stopped and included four in
a row over Pittsburgh. were aided
by a brace in their pitching stair,
but 1t was timely hitting that turn
ed the tide in favor of the McGraw
men at critical moments. Proof of
this is the fact that every Giant
regular. except the pitchers, is
batting over the 800 mark.
As a result of New York's ram
page, the National league resolved
itself into a struggle for second
place. Pittsburgh, meeting as
aster at Boston and rout against
the Giants, lost its advantage and
st. Louis was runner-up today, al
though the Cardinals have as yet
failed to hit their real stride in the
east. Brooklyn. with improved
pitching, but still handicapped by
erratic infield work. retains fourth
place.
The Chicago Cubs spurted and,
backed by efficient hitting, took
the last two games of the Brook
lyn series, stopped the winning
streak of the Braves and drew
ahead of Cincinnati to the leader
ship of the second division. Inc
Reds continued to slump, begun
when they lost four, in a row to the
Giants, while the Phillies braced
and showed a winning percentage
