The Yankee down NEW CONCERN WILL DISTRIBUTE HUMUS Of interest to agriculturists, and of especial interest to citrus growers of the county, is the recent formation of an Orange-co. distributing agency for Chapman's Improved Peat-Humus a highly efficient plant food. The new company will do business under the name of Berger-Grant Co., and those interested in its formation are C. B. Berger Co. and Joseph M. Grant, the former being the well known real estate firm and citrus growers of Anaheim, and the latter of Los Angeles, and until recently, district sales manager for I. S. Chapman & Co., Inc., of San Bernardino, the manufacturers of the humus. Offices will be retained with those of C. B. Berger Co., in Anaheim, on the ground floor of the First National Bank building on So. Los Angeles street. Mr. Ira S. Chapman, head of the manufacturing firm, and himself an orange grower, is a brother of Mr. Charles C. Chapman, of Fullerton, one of the largest growers, if not the largest individual citrus grower in the state of California. Mr. I. S. Chapman, being a grower himself, and having been connected with other large fertilizer companies in the past, is entirely conversant with the requirements of good citrus culture, and realizing the advantages and necessity of having sufficient quantities of organic matter in the soil, has been in a position to take advantage of a deposit of nature's own accumulation of decomposed vegetation, and to derive therefrom the base of body of a highly efficient plant food. C. B. Berger Co., having tested and proved to their own satisfaction the merits of the new material, and realizing its importance to the permanence of our present successful operation of citrus groves, took a step which has always been adverse to their business policy: that of sponsoring and other business than that of selling groves. Feeling, however, that its benefits to our community are desirable, they have organized the new company. Mr. Gant and LeRoy B. Berger will be the active members of the new firm, and being thoroughly convinced of the merits of their product solicited the well wishes of the community.

EXPERTS CLAIM BIG SERIES IS TOSS-UP NEW YORK, Oct. 3.—Who's going to win the world's series, the Giants or the Yanks? This was the burning question among New York fans today as they prepared to enjoy the first all-metropolitan baseball classic in history. The answer, of course, is up to the rival teams. But in advance of what promised to be the greatest series ever played, fans and experts alike stood divided.

Tautenhahm, pastor of the local German Methodist Church, was given an appointment in Los Angeles as pastor. NEW YORK, Oct. 3—Who's going to win the world's series, the Giants or the Yanks? This was the burning question among New York fans today as they prepared to enjoy the first all-metropolitan baseball classic in history. The answer, of course, is up to the rival teams. But in advance of what promised to be the greatest series ever played, fans and experts alike stood divided. Old Man Consensus of Opinion—If you kept both ears open—whispered that the outcome of the series is a tossup. The Yanks and Giants have come down the long "April-October trail" to championships after two of the hottest pennant races ever staged. Neither was able to clinch a pennant until the baseball season ebbed into a fadeout. Today, team for team and player for player, they appear on paper to be more evenly matched than any former world's series rivals. Both teams have tremendous hitting power. The Yanks, as a team, bat an average of .201. The Giants are three points in the wake of the Huguenin in cirbbatting. In pitching strength there is apparently little to choose between the teams after sitting down hit figures, though in Carl Mays the Yanks have one of the best twirlers of the year, and the only one wit ha successful underhand delivery. Those who are in the habit of "doping" world’s series point to the fact that pitching has decided the issue in most series o'the past. But with this mind it is well to remember that two teams with such terrific batters are more than liable to knock precedent into a cocked hat. The Yanks, with Miller, Peck, Ruth, Bob Meusel, Pipp, Ward and McNally, who can be figured as the potential run getter in the every-day lineup, have a seven-man batting average of .385. The Giants with Burns, Bancroft, Frisch, Young, Kelly, Emil Meusel and Rawlings to manufacture their own a grand swapping figure of .216 or eight points better than the Yankees. Ruth's fine average of .380 is figured In the Yank percentage. Emil Meusel's .343 is high for the Giants or such figures the batting reputation of the Yanks loses some of its color. As a base-running team the Giants have somewhat of an edge on the Yanks. They have stolen 138 bases this season, again 81 for the Yanks, and speed on the paths means speed in the field. Ruth, king of batmen and Mays are the mainstays of the Yanks. The Giants have no one to compare with Ruth, but they have five 300 hits in the seven first niches of their batting order, against three for the Yanks. These are some of the "pros and cons" fans and professional critics are handling out as Gotham marks time, waiting for the series to begin at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon.
