NO AMERICAN COTTON GOODS TO CHINA
The Mills Nest Likely Effected by This Change
Are in the South.
(By the Associated Press \

Philadelphia, Pa, July 19.-As a conse-
Cuence of the situation in China all
exports to that country of American cot
ton goods. principally heavy sheeting
and drills, have practically ceased. This
statement was vouched for today by
Frederick L. Bailey, of the firm of Joshua
L. Bailey and Company. one of the larg-
est dry goods commission houses in this
city. Mr.. Bailey stated that the mills
of this country annually export about $780,
000000 in cotton goods of the foregoing
descriptions to China alone, and that
those most likely to be affected by the
sudden stoppage of shipments are located
principally in the South. These have been
fitted with machinery adapted for the
China trade. 1t is not believed how
ever, that they will be compelled to
close, but instead, much of the trade,
Mr.. Bailey said. can be diverted to the
Philippines, Cuba and Porto Rico and Il
portion of the goods can be sent north.
and there transformed by the mills in that
section.

They Open the Eyes of the Frenchren and Are
Heavily Handicapped.
(By the Associated Press.)

Paris, July 19.-The manner in which
the American athletes had been sweeping
the field in the International games in
connection with the Paris Exposition,
opened the eyes of the organizers, and
the result was shown in the handicapping
of today, which practically left the Ameri-
cans out in the cold. The effect upon the
Americans was demonstrated by the fact
that whereas on the previous days they
had secured four ffths of the games,
today, out of nine events they captured
only one first, with four seconds and five
thirds.
The featuresof the days program was
the 25 miles Marathon foot race, which
was won by Theatre Michel French
man.
The scratch pole vault was won by

the pole. When this noticed the players
struck the ball with the purpose of winding the
string around the pole. and then it required only
a step to produce game in which two players
stand on opposite sides of a pole, each endeavor-
ing to wind the string which holds the ball
around the pole in different direction
The advantage of the game over lawn tennis
Is the limited space demanded by the sport.
There are no balls to chase no expensive net or
backstop needs to be erected, and decision
from the umpire is necessary to determine
whether the bali is I'm or out"
The rules of the game require that the pole
