Weekly Baseball Review

NEW YORK, May Leading both
major leagues after four weeks of
campaigning. the champion New York
ball clubs, especially the Giants, are
well fortified to meet their western
rivals this week in the first inter-
sectional clashes of the season.
The schedule brings the western
clubs of the American league east,
while the eastern teams in the Ma
tionals make their first swing around
the other half of the circuit
In a week, marked by many record
performances, the continued onrush
of the Giants and merry tussle for
place in the American between New
York and St. Louis, perhaps the out =
standing feature was the sensational
work of pitchers in both leagues.
Charley Robertson's no-hit. no-run
game against Detroit last Sunday in
which no Tiger reached first base
tops the list of hurting achievements.
Jesse Barnes, OF the Giants, came
within an ace today of duplicating
the feat when he let the Phillies down
without hit, but walked one player.
Brilliant shutoutS by Vance and
Shriver. Brooklyn rockies, early in
the week, the latter allowing but
three singles, show that recruit and
veteran alike are in mid season form.
The Giants increased their lead

 ID BE GIVEN AID
Organization to Purchase Supplies on Co-opera-
 tive Basis

To assist farmers, who, because of conditions. are unable to secure credit from supply merchants for this years crop, the Farmers Educational and Cooperative Union of America, Ala bama division, has established in Bir- mingham a clearing house through which the farmers may buy home and farm supplies until the next crop is made, offering their last years prod ucts as collateral. according to a statement issued by J. F. Scofield, president of the Alabama division of the union.
 According to the statement farm CTS are. now having to pay double and treble pre-war prices for the commodities which they use upon the farm and in their homes. but for their products they receive even less than the price paid in pre-war days.
 The plan under which the clearing house will operate. as explained in the Statement is as follows:
 Prices will be issued to the farm every week and when they hold their regular meeting every two weeks they will order what they need These orders will be sent to Birmingham and representatives of the union will go to market and purchase the de- sired commodities in bulk for the diff ferent local organizations which had ordered them. By buying in this manner the farmers are able to se- cure their commodities at a very reduced price.
 The Farmers union will dispose of all the last years products of the members, such as cotton and other products, which can be marketed in Europe under the toll system. This money to be used to pay for the pur- chases made through the Birming- ham clearing house."
