That Tobacco Crop Report.

In its final report on the acreage and
condition of the tobacco crop of the
present year, the department of agri
culture admits that the acreage was
greatly overstated in the preliminary
report issued in June, and accounts for
the transformation thus spread abroad
among dealers and growers by alleg
ing three undetected errors in the
computations made while the Office
was temporarily administered in the
absence of a chief statistician or an
associate statistician."
In other words, as the ST. Louis Re
public puts it, dealers were led 10 eX
pect larger supplies and growers lower
prices because irresponsible subOrdin
ates were permitted 70 muddle the
facts forwarded 10 the department by
its correspondent The correctness OF
the information sent in by these CORE
spondents is affirmed by the depart
ment in this final report; the prospect

outlook in that staple were misrepre

Statislician" and no Associate Stats

given by the correspondents were prop

part of the irresponsible and unnamed
subordinates. though temptation 10 fal-

Dick Mccormick Tells OF That
Pittsburg Game.
Declares That Taylor Had Only
Been Ont Too Late.
DRINKING PRIOR NIGHT
Couldn't Keep Up That Gait and
Prove Winner.
Was Sure There Was No Dis
honest Money Deal.

Pittsburg, JAN 16.-Jack Taylor, the
st. Louis baseball pitcher who is in
trouble with the Chicago club owners
and with the National committee, has
staunch friend in Pittsburg as well
as many enemies The game here be-
tween st. Louis and Pittsburg on July
80 last caused the loss of many thou
sands of dollars here.
Dick Mccormick Of Allegheny, who
is known as a heavy bettor, won a
great of money on the game. McCor-
mick said recently:
Il recall the game of July 80. and
while I won a. large sum on it. there
was nothing crooked about it, nor was
there any conspiracy.
Men who bet on baseball had made
the St. Louis team favorite at odds of
800 to s64, and as a betting proposition
it looked good to me, and even though
Taylor was slated to pitch for the Car
dinals and Miller for the Premiers, I
had some information that led me to
believe that Taylor and Beckley of the
st. Louis team had been out the night
before.
II figured that players could not
chase around all night and be the best
of condition for the kind of work they
are called on to do the next day. rms
game was played on July 80, and IN II
Miller held st. Louis to five hits, while
the Premiers touched Taylor up Tor
seven hits and won the game, to 2.
After the game those who were SO
foolish as to make such large ooqs
started a cry that the game was crook
ed, and that cry has been going on ever
since

NEW RULES FOR NEBRASKA.
Cornhusker Eleven VIII Be Governed
by "Big Ninev Regulations.

Lincoln. Neb., Jan. 16.-Although
the athletic authorities at Nebraska
university are strongly opposed to the
new eligibility rule adopted by the
big Nine" conference, which requires
athletes to be in school a full semester
before they can participate in any
athletic contest the Cornhusker ath-
letic board has notified the conference
authorities that it will be governed by
the new enactment in case it is finally
adopted by the big Nine.'
In response to a query from Prof.
Barton of Illinois university,
Secretary Clapp of the Nebraska
board, has formally given notice OF
Nebraska's acceptance of the new ar
rangement. Illinois and Nebraska are
dickering for another football = game
next year and Illinois evidently first
wishes toz-be assured of the Corn
huskers position before closing the
deal.
Football Manager Davis reflects the
sentiment at Nebraska university
when, in an interview, he said that
the new rule would hurt the western
universities much more than those of
the middle states. The former are
handicapped already by a lack of
strong preparatory schools, while with
the latter the rule will simply switch
the season for drumming athletics
from August to December.
