COTTON GAMRLING DIsCussnD.

De
The question of gambling in cotton
futures was brought up in the House
of Commons on Wednesday. Home
Secretary Akers-Douglas, on behalf of
the government, said the crisis in the
cotton trade was such as to cause anx-
iety. but that the government couldn't
undertake to introduce legislation for
the suppression of gambling in cotton
futures. The situation couldn't be
mended, he said, by such legislation.
He expressed the opinion that the
thing to do was to encourage the
growing of cotton in the various parts
of the British empire.
1t is a question whether the cotton
farmers of this country have been BEN
Gifted in the long run by the wild
speculation in cotton futures. The
spectators succeeded. in pushing up
the price of cotton futures to Is cents,
but it is doubtful If many farmers got
as much as 10 cents for their cotton.
OF course some few got the very high
est price that was paid for spot cot
ton, but the great majority, in fact
nine-tenths, of the cotton farmers had
disposed of their cotton before it went
much beyond IL cents. If the facts
could be obtained it would appear
probably that on an average the farm
ers got between 10 and Ii cents for
their cotton. They would have got
that no doubt if there had been no
| speculation in futures.
But what has been and what is go
ing to be the result of the specula-
| ton? In our dispatches yesterday
there was an account of an attempt at
suicide by bank cashier at Milledge-
vile. 1t seems that he specialized
with money intrusted to his keeping
and lost. 1t is safe statement, that
of all who have specialized in cotton in
the South in the last two seasons nine
tenths have lost. The opinion has
been expressed that the money the
South has received this season and
last, above what she would have re-
ceived if cotton had brought only a
fair average price, has been sunk in
cotton speculation. A few men have
become enormously rich and great
many have been made poor, or COM
paratively so.
That has been the result Of the spec
| lation. Another result is indicated to
some extent by the London dispatch
relative to the refusal of the House of
Commons to legislate against gam
bling in cotton futures. Extraordinary
efforts are being made in many parts
Of the world to grow cotton where IT
is not now crop, and in some locali-
ties the effort is successful. When il
is recalled that fifty years ago no cot
ton was grown in Egypt for market
and that now the output in that country
is approximately 100000 bales per an
mum, the opinion seems to be justified
that this country hasn't a monopoly OF
the staple. In the Soudan and in Nu-
bia, it is said. there are vast stretches
OF country where It is believed, cotton
can be grown proiitably. II was re-

Cy Garnett the Latest Football Find
for Chicago.

Chicago, Aug. 6.-Another promis-
ing recruit for the Maroon. football
team has been unearthed in the ranks
of the Midway students now attending
summer school He is Cyrus Garnett,
a 1S5-pound fullback. and also one of
the leading tennis players in the west.
Garrett has been attending the
Rockefeller school for a year now,
having entered last fall, but with the
exception of the freshman-sophomor
football game last fall, refrained from
DOMINIC his moleskins. on account of
parental objections. Now, however,
he has succeeded in removing all OBJ
lection and will make an effort to cap
ture a place on the Maroon team.
Garnett is fast on his feet. exceed
ingly active for a man of his weight
and is an ardent enthusiast in the
great college game. He has never
played college football. but has a good
reputation as a high school player.
He is a Chicago boy and played on
the South Division high school team
during his prep school days. A year
ago last fall he went to the University
of Wisconsin and was a member of tn
Badger squad for two weeks. He is
said to have made a most favorable
impression on the coaches and stu
dents and would have secured a berth
on the cardinal team had he not been
requested by his parents to quit the
game.

The most amusing side of the game
was Umpire Collins. His announce

which could be devised. After twisting
his face into a series of convolutions
that looked like an Old-faShiOned

most rasping bellowings which ever
bombarded the grandstand on any
baseball field. After this job was COM
pleted he did not march out on the

Friel before he touched the home
plate, at least so the umpire decided.
But grandstand and players alike went
after the umpire with chunks OF abuse.
The right field bleachers swarmed
upon the field and began to make the
air blue with invective. Collins went
over there to drive them back off the
field. While engaged in this occupa-

scribed the game as a pitchers battle

in which the latter got the better of

THE FANS ARE ANGRY.
Jimmy Sebring Says Dreyfuss Told
Him to Quit.


Pittsburg. Pa, Aug. 6.-Nothing
since the wholesale raid made on the
P1ttsburg team by Ban johnson of the
American league has aroused the fans
of PittSburg so much as the deSertion
or suspension of Sebring, the popular
and hard-hitting right fielder.
There are two stories told PreSi-
dent Dreyfuss says Sebring deserted
the team, while Sebring says Dreyfuss
ordered him to quit, and he did so. He
says further that he will demand his
immediate release and play indepen-
dent ball as soon as his ankle gets
well. The first trouble between Sc
bring and the club owners came to St.
Louis during the first visit of Pittsburg
there. .Bucky Veil. who was Sebring' s
right-hand man and most. intimate
friend, had a fist fight with Tommy
Leach, in which the man now man.

the players took sides on the matter,
and faction sprung up Sebring de-
clared himself for Veil first, last and
always, and he quickly made some
enemies in the team. and matters grew
right by the Pittsburg club some time
later.
Sebring declared himself without
gloves on the situation, saying there
were worse players than Veil on the
team and high in favor. He said that
pal would never have been released,
but would have been given a good
chance. This came to the ears of
Dreyfuss, and there was trouble. In
the first game with st. Louis here last
week, Sebring and Wagner almost

Just why President Shiveley resur-
rected him is of course a matter Of
wonderment- He was on the Etaff last
year, but Shiveley, according to his own
statement, let him go because of in
temperate habits. Collins plays to the
grandstand. He was bad on balls and
strikes, but worse than that changes a
decision after it once is made. He seems
to think more of the amount of noise
he can produce than of what his decis-
ions look like. In the tenth inning he
came close to be being made a chop
