MARKETS FOR FUTURES
or WIRE SERVICE HAS
 ITS EFFECT.
Al the Close tho Tone was Barely Steady with Prices at the Lowest Point of tho Day, Three to
 Seven Off.

NEW YORK. Nov. 15.--The cotton market was a little more active than yesterday. The wire service was working sufficiently we'll to permit of the receipt of nearly all the usual Southern news. but private wire houses were without the means of communi- cation and New York was cut orr rom Southern business
 The market opened steady at an advance of 03 points in response ts rather better cables than expected and reports of cold weather in the belt. Local operators seem-, ed to be trading more freely than on the previous day. Liverpool sent few buying orders and some of the spot houses were buying. Following the call the list work ed up to a net advance of about s9s points. with December leading. while January ruled relatively easy. Wall Street shorts appear ed to be selling January to prevent an ad- vance, while buying in December contracts. Later business became less active and, dur ing the balance of the session the general tendency was downward
 A local spot house was quite a liberal seller in the afternoon and the market was finally barely steady at decline of BOY points. the lowest of the day. Sales were reported of 50.0 900 bales. The market being so narrow It took but comparatively small orders to swing prices and the fluctuations reflected no alteration in the general atti- tude of the market. Receipts at the ports today were 79, 046 bales. against s4.1S3 last week and 115,Sz2 last year. For tho week sss.eo0 bales, against ss1.sos last week and 4z7,se7 last year.

GOOD ADVICE ON HOW TO
MASTER ART OF BOWLING
First Thing to Learn is Control of Ball

Anyone can learn to bowl. In lift
ing the ball from the runway don't
grab it with both hands: one hand is
strong enough to handle it.
Turn the ball over until the holes in
it are facing upward, insert the thumb
and second finger, and lift 1t from its
position, letting the arm hang natural
ly by the side. Then walk to the posi-
tion you desire behind the foul line.
Stand erect, face the pins. and let
the weight of the ball rest in your left
hand. Start in the center Of the alley
and throw a straight ball down the
center. Two steps and slide, begin
ming and ending with the left foot, is
the best. This way man is not awk-
ward, and easily develops his own
style. He should keep UP the center
ball until he is accustomed to the
swing and getting the ball away. There
is a certain knack in this, but once
a man learns it the rest is easy.
The object is to get a bead on the Ia
pins and endeavor to place the ball
right there with all your energy.
After the beginner has mastered the
delivery he can branch in other direc-
tions. He can take up the cross ball
from the right-hand corner, which Is
considered the most effective. His first
lessons have given him a mastery over

PIEDMONT PARK WILL BE
FINEST RACE COURSE I'm WORLD
Work Has Already Been Commenced On Mag
nIficent Plant

Belmont Park. which will be the fin
est race track in the world, has been
laid out and in a few days work on
the various enormous buildings will be-
gin. All the courses. five in number.
together with an exercise track, have
been graded, but there is still much
filling in to be done before they can
be pronounced completed.
The tracks consist of an outside cir
cult OF mile and a half, a turf course
inside of it which is a mile and three
furlongs in circumference, while in
the field is a steeplechase course a mile
and d quarter once around. Then
there are two straight-aways, one of
seven furlongs and another of a mile
and a quarter. The main track, one
mile and a half. Is 100 feet wide, and
from the starting post in front Of the
feet to the lower turn. AS 1t is the
intention to run races at Belmont Park
in the reverse way this will be really
the home stretch. On the seven fur
long chute there is a stretch of $500
feet before the main track is reached,
while the mile and a quarter STRAIGHT
away is laid out in such manner that
races run over 1t can be plainly seen
from start to finish.
At present the jockey house Is the
only building under course of con-
struction at the new park, but before
summer sets in work on the immense
erandstand, $50 feet long and 30 feet
wide, will be we'll under way. Inc
The Savannah morning news., 1904-03-13

starting, and it is not long before he
can throw perfectly straight ball into
1-3. Then if he finds that the erect or
upright position does not suit him, he
can try the STOPPING position, but the
upright start Is best for beginners.
So much for the first ball. Spare
bowling is the true test Of a mans abil-
ity. Spare bowling is what counts"
is an aphorism of the alleys. Straight
strikes are better than straight spares,
but it is next to impossible to make
many strikes in succession. while the
science Of bowling will permit a man
to make every frame a spare. And
unless strikes do come in succession
they are no better than spares.
There are certain balls that are called
strike balls, which, II bowled, will re-
suit the greatest number of times in
strikes, and therein a bowler's skill is
shown.
But the fortunes of the game turn a.
great many strike balls into the worst
of splits" and a great many "split"
balls into fiuke strikes. The element
of chance is not nearly so great in
spare bowling, for the majority of
spares have to be made in certain ways.
A difficult spare will call for more an
plause than any strike.
They say that 1t is no longer a snare
game that counts, and that a man has
to be bunch" bowler to keep up with
the procession. But, if you will notice.
the man who gets his spares Is gem
orally there with good score when
the tenth frame has been bowled.

grand stand and other structures will
be located on the south side Of the
track with 100 stables accommodating
1,500 horses on the north side. The
Long Island Railroad has planned to
build a spur from it's main line at
Queens station direct to the gates.
Plans for handling the big crowds are
modern in the extreme. It is the idea
OF the railroad people to have as many
as ten trains waiting after the races
and at the entrance gate to each there
Will be device for counting the pas
sengers. When the exact seating ca
pacity of one train has been absorbed
according to the gate count, no more
passengers will be admitted, the train
will leave and the next gate opened.
In this way there will be no overcrowd-
ing such as the race going public will
have to contend with at other tracks
as usual.
Belmont Park will positively be ready
for racing next spring. Architect
Charles Leavitt Jr., says there is no
need of rushing the work, as there is
plenty of time. The Westchester Rae
ing Association which, in all PROBABLE
ity, will operate the new park, will no
doubt transfer all Of the big West
chester stakes there. But Morris Park,
In the meantime. will not be molested
as the Port Chester Railroad franchise
has not yet been granted by the Board
of Aldermen. From what is said
among racing men. there will be two
meetings at Morris Park next year in
addition to those at Belmont Park,
which, If true, means that there viii be
increased congestion of racing dates
allotted to the different tracks, or
lengthening of the Metropolitan racing
season by an act of the Legislature.

stewards of the Western Jockey Club,
at their meeting on Monday, ignored
Worth's appeal for new dates because,
as they stated, no representative of
the Worth track was present at the
meeting to request a revision of the
schedule Of dates. In regard to this
matter the Chicago Tribune says:
mo representative of the Worth
race track appeared at the monthly
meeting of the stewards of the West

about changing the local racing dates.

back in his chair, looked out at the
sunlight, and said:

won't be any racing around Chicago
this summer. We intend to notify
horsemen that our meeting will not
take place. and if the horses don't
come here for our meeting 1 don't
think they will come for any other

there was absolutely nothing new to
say about the Worth case. While they
ignore it, the subject evidently worries

The famous kite-shaped track at In

played an important part in the his

This kite-shaped track, the first
practical plan for reducing records of
trotters and PAGERS, was the creation
of w. Williams, the man who leaped
into fame by selling Axtell, a S-year-
old trotter with a record of 2:12 to a
high-wheel sulky, for $1O5.OO0, and who
has often been referred to as the Ma

Waterloo. The destruction of the
track will have no bearing on the fu-
ture of the trotter or PAGER. The
kite-shaped track with one turn was
faster than the track with two turns.
The bicycle sulxy, however, followed
in its wake, and made the oval about
as fast as 'the freak" as the kite
course was called. Williams lost
money on his investment, and his idea
of holding racing carnivals on Iowa's
plains was a queer bit of fanaticism,
to say the least. But horsemen who
