There are in the warehouses some
where about 5000 bales Of cotton, and
there is no indication that any of it
will be sold soon unless prices take q

swinging on to it with that determina-

cents a pound separating the present
market price and the minimum price
many have agreed to hold for.
The Southern Cotton Association

This winters annual meeting of the
Minnesota State Agricultural Society
will be held in the assembly room of
the Minneapolis city hall on January
s, 9, and 10. 1t has been the custom
of the society in recent years to alter
nate the meetings between Minneapolis
and st. Paul. but it has been found
desirable, owing to the crowded con-
dition of the hotels in st. Paul during
the legislative session, to have the ST.
Paul meeting of the society come in
the year when the legislature is not
there. Consequently two meetings will
be held in Minneapolis and in 1908 the
society will go back to ST. Paul.
Secretary E. W. Randall is working
up the program for the meeting and is
all ready to announce that two lead

LACK ENTHUSIASM.
Coach Yost Compares British xnd
American Athletes.
ACk ENTHUSIASM.

Fielding Yost, Michigan's Hurry Up
football coach, gave out long inter
view the other day in which he dis
cussed sports in general and inter-
national contests between England
and America. Among the other things,
he said
'If there is one thing which makes
me weary it is that annual cry that
goes up from English sportsmen and
athletes that while they themselves
play only for the sport to be found
in games, Americans play solely to
win, not caring for the sport as
sport at ALL
Every man who takes up a line
of sport does so for the benefits and
primarily, sport for sports sake"
But any man-that is, any man with
red blood in his veins-who goes into
any game, goes in to win that game.
when Harvard first went across
this summer the English crew used
an old shell which they intended to
carry through the race. Harvard
comes over and makes a good show
ing in the preliminary practice. The
Englishmen get frantic when they see
a chance to get beaten and Immediate
ly send in an order for new racing
shell of the latest and most costly
build.
There would have been no differ.
ence so far as the sport end of the
race was concerned, but, like anyone
else, they wanted to win and were
willing to take no chances. Then,
again, when the race was finished we
read where three of the Britons fell
exhausted in their boat. They would
have gotten more sport out of it had
they not rowed so hard, but then they
would have been beaten. And still
they rise to remark that their teams
are only out for sport. caring not who
wins or loses.
In the recent Olympian games
England saw early that she could
send no team to Greece able to cope
with the American athletes. In place
of sending the men she had for sports
sake the British association refused
to send team or representative at
all, preferring to be left out entirely
rather than be beaten.

INJURIES DUE TO PRACTICE.
Coach Reilly Declares Against Short
ening Football Schedules.

The tendancy of college teams to
shorten their schedules does not
strike Coach Reilly of Georgetown as
the proper caper; he thinks athletic
boardsmen should not try to lessen
chances for injuries by fewer games.
Reilly says:
Almost every man that ever played
the game will agree with the state
ment that there is more fun and less
hard work in the games than in the
daily grind of practice, and it is GER
tainly a well known fact that fewer
serious injuries are received during
the contests than at any other time

during the season. 1t is when a man
is dead tagged out that he gets care
less about taking those precautions
which are a part of football instinct,
and it is then that the injury usually
comes.
Not in the game does this condi-
ton come, for the coaches are always
on the alert, and men are substituted
at the first symptom of tagging en-
ergy. In the practice, when the men
are being driven for all there is in
them, the coaches demanding their
last ounce of strength, indifference
comes over player, and injury gen.
orally results. 1t is the possibility of
frequent games that makes baseball
a popular sport.
1T seems pity that an effort
should be made to play shorter sched-
ules, in sport which appeals entirely

GLOBE PLANNING FOR
 BASEBALL TOURNAMENT
Thousands of Dollars in Purses for
 Contesting Teams.

For some t.me past there has been talk of a big baseball Tournament ir Globe. covering several days and for which fine purses 5vere to be offered. The territorial press. commenting on the project has fntimated that it vas too good 10 be true and expressed some doubt that the purses would fin ally be raised.
 Tho Eepuuncan has authoritative information that the tournament is now well provided for and that the Globe people mean business. All that Phoenix regrets is that her old base ball team that Was shaped up q couple of years ago to skin anything in the southwest, is now out of business Nevertheless. there are a good many ball players around the rown yet who will be interested to know that there are big doings somewhere else in not in Phoenix. It may be possible some of the PhoeniSs teams can pull them selves together and make a showing.
 The pleasing thing is that even the loser will get something out of the Globe games. enough to partly pay ex- penses. The purses to be awarded are 5000, $500 and $250. with S1OO to each losing team. But those who go must bear in mind that Morenci and Bisbee will be there with teams that have
