MAJOR LEAGUE CLUBS
LOOK TO NEXT YEAR
New York May Win Title This
Season, but Wait.

For large majority Of big league
cities, already, with the season half
gone. it Is "next, year," SO far as their
pennant prospects are concerned. The
worlds series Of 1923 is practically as
sured to the metropolis for the third
straight year. And yet, with the New
York teams admittedly the best In the
country, they cannot hold together
much longer, writes Louis Dougher in
the Washington Times.
Take the Yankees, for instance.
Their veteran hurting corps is about
ready to be scrambled. This goes for
every one Of the first five men, all Of
whom have been pitching for years and
years.
Everett Scott is rapidly approaching
the end Of his string. So is Wally
Schang.

eran twirlers from the Yankees and

pretext, lacking pictures of skulls

Some point out that Tennessee,
Kentucky, Virginia and other States
with anti-lynching laws are suffering
little from migration, but efforts to
get anti-lynching legislation in Geor-
gia, which heads the States lin the
total number of lynchings in the last
generation or so, are unavailing.
The City Club of Atlanta, in it's re-
view a few days ago, after emphasize
ing the boil weevil, low-priced cotton,
bad roads unsound credit facilities
and unorganized marketing as basic
conditions in the migration went on
to discuss some Of the symptoms.
eve have this situation" it says,
'"that agriculture in Georgia is un-
profitable to the whites and we'll nigh
impossible for the negro; that hous-
ing conditions are poor, educational
facilities bad, negro labor cheap, and
too frequently injustice in law and
in equity-all Of which might be
termed secondary symptoms. On the
other hand, in the industrial centers
there is a substantial labor shortage,
with consequent high wages, which
constitutes the primary symptoms.
GAS an industrial unit, the negro
becomes producer with definite
purchasing power, in which capacity
he is more valuable than as an indif-
ferent farm laborer living on the
bounty of his landlord. And for the
negro who remains at home there
must come an increase in wages and
slowly improving conditions. The net
result for the negro cannot but show
a great advantage to his credit.
balancing the account for Geor-
gia: 1t must follow the white lahorer
must be paid higher wage and his
general conditions be improved when
he is relieved of negro competition.
Georgia will enjoy a real opportunity
to secure a white farming class; the
son of the white farmer will be better
content to remain on the farm and
soon the whole agricultural situation
will be improved. The race problem
will be solved, the boil weevil will
disappear through Investigation and
the vexing tax question will become
simpler by the creation of new
wealth."
The report said: "The migration
will continue at its present rate un-
til the industrial market becomes
glutted and then it will gradually
diminish"
Leaders Of both races say that bet
ter schools, more equal justice in the
courts, better housing elimination of
the labor contract law and the sup
preston Of mob, violence are nee
essary program if Georgia is to keep
its negro labor and although some
thinkers say the colored worker will
gravitate back to the South after he
gets lung full of cold weather and
frostbitten ears-not more than 10
per cent. of them actually drift back.
But so far affairs have not advanced
much beyond the conversational
stage.

Catcher Commits Balk

An unusual play in baseball, q
catcher's balk, occurred In re-
cent game between Little Rock
and New Orleans. In the
seventh inning. with Gould pitch
ing and Neiderkorn catching,
New Orleans filled the bases.
Mitze waited the pitcher out
and drew the count to three
balls and two strikes When
Gould started to pitch to the
batter the three base runners
moved simultaneously. Tucker
was almost home when the ball
neared the plate. Neiderkorn
stepped in front Of the plate and
cut off the throw. trapping
Tucker. Umpire MCGOWAN
called the play a balk and al
lowed Tucker to score and Mite
to take first base.

Georgia has been hardest hit by the
odus of negroes from the South to
e North. Much study is being CIV
by leaders of both races to the
ICES of the migration and what can
pne to stem the rush to the
5mised land" overlooking with 16-
s-aAquart milk and 10-cents-a-
ION honey.
They are beginning to say down
here the negro migration is due not
$50 much to the pulling of the North
as it is the showing of the South. One
view is that poor housing conditions,
lack of educational advantages, inc
quality in the courts and in law en-
forcement, bad working conditions on
farms managed by overseers, the la
bor contract system, the increas in
mob violence and the apprehension
caused by the KuKlux Klan floggings,
although these have been confined al
most exclusively to whites, serve to
propel the negro worker northward,
exerting as much Of shove as the
$4 and S. day pulls.
Several estimates of the exodus
have been made; none of them agrees.
A Government bureau some months
ago reported $4,000 had migrated
northward from Georgia in the last
year. The State College Of Agricul-
ture recently reported that in six
months 100000 persons had left Geor-
gia farms, of which 10000 were neg
roes, and that 11,84O farms had been
abandoned. Not all these went North
there has been much shifting of
population within the State itself
but it appears that this shift from
10000 to $4,000 farmers, mainly
negroes, went North, about $4,000
moving through Chicago as dis
tributing point.
A resume of migration has, also
been given by the State Bankers As
ISOLATION and by the City Club, es-
timating that $4,000 have left Geor-
gia since January 1, that the number
will reach 100000 by Christmas, that
46,6M farmhouses are vacant and
5S,524 plows are idle.
The loss to Georgia is set down at
$27,000,000 and the exodus, some say,
is causing more loss than Sherman's
march to the sea. Of course, not all
these $1,000 plows are idle because
Ct, the migration. The boil weevil has
been the great cause of abandoned
farms and the hard straits to which
cotton growing has been put has been
principal cause Of the migration.
Negro leaders lay emphasis on
deeds of violence as the first factor
in sending the negro worker North,
the industrial vacuum and the high
pay in the mills serving mainly as a
ticket. This view also is taken by
many white leaders who have been
devoting much study to the race prob
lem. These say that behind the mi
grafton, which has taken on the psy-
chology of a mass movement, are
years of abuse from a certain element
