On account of the rising price OF cot
ton many farmers who have been hold
ing their crops are now selling, some
having received as much as 1915 per
pound for all they have. While many
were advised to sell in the spring when
cotton was around the cent price those
who held on are now congratulating
themselves that they held until they
almost doubled the price they would
have sold at five months ago. Should
cotton remain at the present price for
any length of time all on hand in this
section will be marketed, as few will
hold for higher price than prevails at
present.

Bothner, It's Up TO You.

To the Sporting Editor Of the Evening World
I want the lightweight wrestling
championship Of the world, and wish to
register a complain against the present
holder Of 1t. George Bothner, because
he has shut himself up in a glass case
and will not give any one a chance 10
hone silly win the title,
Botlner is a champion in name only,
and from he manner in which he safe
guards himself by refusing to defend the
title against all corners It is likely that
he will still be champion when he Is
walking on crutches and has a long gray
beard.
A champion, especially a worlds cham-
pion, should at least have some traces
OF craftsmanship about him. He cannot
expect the sporting world to accept nm
seriously while he beats his way up side
streets and sleeps in a feather bed
while the sun shines so he won't run
amuck OF a challenger or a bona-hde
wrestler who by rights should be wear
ing Mr.. 30 liners crown.
II Bothner does not want 10 ne
stamped a coward and a ten, twenty
and thirty cent sport, he better Jump
into the limelight and stick his name

SHECKARD KICKS
At CHICAGO TRADE
Says Ebbits Had No Right to
Trade Him Without
Consultation.

LANCASTER, Pa, Dec. 22-Jimmy
Sheckard, who vas recently traded 70
the Chicago National League team IN
exchange for four players OF that club,
has openly decllred that he viii not
play with the Windy City team, and
that unless a new deal IS made whereby
he will be traded to a club in tie East
he will plav with one of the clubs IN
the Independent league next season,
Sheckard Says that President Ebbits, OF
the BroOklvs club, hid no right q
trade him tn the Chicago club wit GU
consulting him. Sheckard usually makes
some kind OF a protest such as this one
before the season opens in order 20 got
q cash bonus or an Increase In salary ,
II is more than likely that Sheckard
will leave with the rest Of the Chicago
PLAYERS when the ,eam starts away to
begin Its spring practice.

BILLY MAYNARD WAS
GAME, BUT TOO OLD
After Two Rounds George
Hoey Had Him Going
at Long Acre Club.

Billy Maynard. who was one OF the
best feather weight fighters in the pro-
fession a few years ago, made his re-
appearance in the ring in a three-round
bout with George Iloey at the Longacrs
A. c. last night, and although Hoey
had the best Of the boat Maynard
nevertheless made a fine showing,
Maynard was In fine shape for the
contes., and 1t certainly was a lucky
thing, or he could never have stood
the hard wallops about the body that
Hoey drove into his wind throughout
the three rounds, Both boys fought
fast from the tap OF the gong. They
exchanged blows to the head and stom-
ach at close quarters, and every punch
had force behind IT, In the third and
last round Maynard showed signs Of
weakness from Hoey's smashes in the
body and IN the jaw. These blows
shook Maynard up considerably, ana
once he was sent through TIE ropes.
Maynard was game, however, and kept
right on smuggling with Hoey. He was
tired when the bell rang ending thS
