AMATEURS WON
LIVELY GAME
Cavalry Fell Down Near Close of Ten
Innings.

Jake Schiffner's amateurs won a
pretty game yesterday from the Ninth
Cavalry in the presence Of a small
crowd of enthusiastic fans. The game
was interesting from the start, and
was generally considered as good ball
as has been seen this season on the
local grounds. McCool, played left
field, and his work with the stick sur
prised his admirers. Buchet PLAYED
star game as short, while kid
Parks knocked fouls innumerable and
lost seven balls in the lawn of the
maiden lady who refuses to allow boys
to gather lost balls and return them
to the field. In all II balls were lost
yesterday.
Score by Innings.

Time of game hr 40 min.
Umpire-Breed.
Scorer-Hart.
The game tomorrow promises to be
interesting and the attendance will
likely prove satisfactory. People will
certainly appreciate the class of ball
given, if ball is wanted at all, and
Manager Schniffer promises to give a
fast and furious game for all those
who patrOniZe the park tomorrow.
Mcdonald, who pitched a splendid
game last Sunday will be in the box
again. and the other members OF the
team will be:
Lankard catcher; Brown, first base;
Auburn. second base; Fisher, third;
Buchet, short; Parks, left field; Gray
center; McGucken, right field.
The success of the game tomorrow
will have much to do with the future
of ball in this city this season. If
the attendance is light the fact will
have a bad effect upon the promoters
Of the game, and further efforts will
not receive the encouragement de-
served. On the other hand good at
tendance of enthusiastic people will
encourage every one, and the people
who have spent time and money to
promote good ball will feel partially
repaid for the effort.

Cotton Crop Nay Be Still Larger

Cotton Crop Nay Be Still Larger
Washington y. c., July 25.-ln
spite of predict, from the south
that cotton cultivation in the south is
diminishing and that ravages of the
Mexican cotton-boll weevil and the
lack of necessary labor will prevent
the cotton output from ever again
reaching its former figures. informa-
ton gathered at the department. of
agriculture shows that the officials of
the department whose work it is to
study cotton conditions, are of the
opinion that cotton growing has not
reached it's zenith. In speaking of the
future prospects of the cotton crop,
John HYDE, statstician Of the depart
ment, says:
eff the ravages of the cOttOn-bOll
weevil can be prevented, l do not be-
lieve that the time is far distant when
this country will produce 100000
bales oof cotton annually At present
the boil weevil undoubtedly consti-
tutes a serious menace to it. 1t is
not only the actual damage that this
insect does that operates against the
increase of the production of cotton
in certain districts, but it's moral eff
feet in discouraging planters from
setting out large crops, is also very
serious"
