BALTIMORE INFIELDER
BRINGS RECORD PRICE
New York, August 9. —Manager
Frank Chance, of the New York Amer
ican league club, announced yester
day that the deal with the Baltimore
club of the International league, for
the services of Ed Maisel had been
completed.
The Orioles’ star infielder comes to
the Yankees in exchange for Bert
Daniels, Isaiah Midkiff and $12,000 in
cash. Maisel will report to Chance in
this city today.
Maisel, who is considered one of the
star infielders of the International
league, has been in great demand
among major league clubs this season.
The Chicago Americans, Boston Na
tionals and New York Americans have
all been bidding for him, and it was
not untid Friday that Chance and
Manager Dunn, of the Baltimore cluo
finally came to terms.
The new Yankee plays shortstop or
third base equally well.
During the 1912 season Maisel
batted ,276 in 129 games, fielded .921
in 138 games, as shortstop, and .927 i;i
22 games at third base. Maisel is con
sidered a coming star and a player
who will solve the infield problem
which has been worrying Manager
Chance.
In giving Baltimore $2,000 cash in
addition to Daniels and Midkiff (worth
perhaps $5,000 more) the local clur>
deal takes rank with the history-mak
ing trades of baseball, including those
that brought Larry Chappelle to the
White Sox; Rube Marquard to the
Giants, and Marty O’Toole to Pitts
burg.
She —These reporters are so care
less. This paper says I have been “for
; years one of the handsomest women
i
in society.”
He—Well, my dear; what is the ob
jection to that?
She—Why, I never said anything
about “for years.”—Puck.
To All Farmers, Ginners and
Others Who Handle Cotton in
Sumter County and Vicinity
We, the Cotton Waiehousemen of Americus feel that it is to our mutual in
terest for us to call your attention to certain rules which will be put in force
this coming cotton season by all the Steamship Companies in this Coumry
carrying cotton to Europe, which will prove oi great loss to the farmers
unless complied with.
. First is the size o! the bale
It must not be packed in a Press Box larger than 27x54 inches. Any. larger
size than this will be penalized SI.OO per bale A bale of smaller size will
not be affected. If your box is larger than this size, it will pay you to have
it reduced at once as otherwise we will be forced to make notation of it on
your cotton receipt and this deduction made when the cotton is sold.
Second is the question of bagging
Unless a good quality of new bagging is used and the bale is well covered,
using not over six yards of bagging to the bale, and the ends well sewed,
a note of this will have to be made on the receipt and a deduction made or
else be put in good order before it can be sold. No second hand bagging
or sugar cloth can be used this year and the bale must be put up in better
condilion than heretofore.
Third is the weight of the bale
1 here is a penalty of Fifty Cents per bale for any bale 'weighing under 400
pounds and not less than 300 pounds.
These new 7 rules may seem a hardship to you, but when we see
that the Government experts say that Fifty Million Dollars is lost
annually on account of the present careless way in which cottor>is
baled and the rough handling in loading in ships caused by the ir
regular sizes of the bales, it certainly is to our interest to seq that it
is more carefully looked after. There are other strict rules to be
enforced but none of them affect the farmer unless it is the one on
wet cotton. This must be much more carefully looked after and
the cotton kept out of the rain and mud.
The most important one for the farmer is the size of the box and we ask*
that you work with us in trying to have them all changed to this standard
size. Texas has a law compelling them all to be made one size, why not
Georgia? Yours Very Truly,
L. G. COUNCIL,
