Clinton Team Of the American
League Transferred to This
City and Games to be Played
In Mechanics Hall
THE FIRST GAME WILL
BE TUESDAY NIGHT
Patrons and Paintings in the Hall

Screen rs Feet High-GameS
to be Played Wednesday and
Friday Nights
Friday Nights

One of the best indoor games that
ever was invented is to be revived in
Worcester. p II. Hurley, president of
the Worcester Baseball Club, has com
pleted deal for the transfer of the
! Clinton Polo Team of the American
League to Worcester and the game will
be started Tuesday night at Mechanics
Hall where all the games will be play
| ed. To the lovers of exciting sport,
this news will be welcome because
there is no indoor game that is so full
of ginger as polo, as is we'll remem-
bered by the thousands who used to
flock to the old skating rink years ago
to see the sport there.
The fact that the game is to be play
ey in Mechanics Hall is another strong
point in its favor. Many changes will
have to be made in the hall before the
games are played and work will be be-
gun right away to get things into
shape for the opening game. A screen
Is feet high is to be erected around the
playing surface and it is believed this
will be a sufficient barrier to protect
the valuable oil paintings on the walls
Of the han and to allow the specta-
tors to witness the game in perfect
safety because 1t is seldom If ever that
ball is driven % feet into the air
Back of this screen, circus seats will
be erected around the hall for the ac-
commodation Of the spectators and Of
course the gallery will be open. It will
take some time to make the necessary
alterations in the hall and all of them
viii not be completed in time for the
opening game but everything will be in
ship shape for the second game the fol-
lowing Friday.
Under the schedule two games a
week will be played in Worcester,
every Wednesday and Friday nights
until the end Of the season.
The Clinton team is away up in the
penant race, being in second position
in the league and seven of the teams
are closely punched, making the race
close and exciting.
Manager Parsons of the Lowell team
was in Worcester yesterday and his
presence did a lot to stir up enthusiasm
in the game Among the players who
are still in the game apd who are
well known to the Worcester followers
Of the game. are Tom Cotter. Hipson
and George McPeck
M. j. Kittredge, who was associated
with President Hurley in the manage

OCTOBER FELL FIRST BREAK

New York, August 1a.-The market for cotton futures opened steady with prices one point higher to two points lower, and being an indifferent response to bullish Liverpool cables and bullish crop news. Immediately following the call weakness suppanted the cary stability and prices broke eight points from the initial bid under professional liquidation, rumors of good rains In Central Texas and sheer absence of speculative support. Yet 1t was very evident that the bear contin- gent was in no humor to adopt aggres- sive tactics for covering was quietly done on the down turn, and preparations were made for a rally later In the day. Liver pool quickly conformed to our heaviness and lost most of its advance before the close. The first break here carried Octo- Der off to TIPS and January to TBS, from which there was a rebound of two points. After lengthy period of hesitation and apathy, the market developed bullish ten dencies despite reports of two inches of rain in Sherman, Texas, and worked slowly but steadily back to the opening figures. Soon after midday shorts be- came nervous as result of predictions for a bullish weekly government report tomorrow and following bad crop news from parts of the Carolinas and Georgia. This buying, in conjunction with fairly active bull support causing prices in some instances to reach new high levels for the day. with the January option leading the rise New Orleans and Eu- ropean buying orders, with sensitive strength in the New Orleans market did much to help the late market here. Wall street was a liberal buyer of October and January on the late improvement. The market was finally steady with prices net one point higher to one point lower.

and declined on profit taking. losing all the advance of Saturday. There was some heavy selling by prominent opera tor that caused weakness for a time. Later bad crop accounts from Central Texas. the worst of the season, and the belief that tomorrow's weather report on cotton will be unfavorable turned early sellers into buyers and most of the loss was recovered. The crop In Central Texas is in very bad shape and the steady deterioration has caused a reduction in crop estimates to below 100000 in many quarters. This keeps the tone nervous and few are inclined to short cotton as long as crop accounts are so bad from that section. New Orleans is but few points under the level here and this pre- vents short selling. The crop in other parts of the belt Is better than last year, and operators are Inclined to the opinion that generally present outlook Is for last years crop or slightly lower. This means as favorable a fall as last year to bring as big crop tomaturity At best the crop outlook is not such as to induce operators to sell for a decline.
