That Matty is his old self was denoted
by the way he had men striking at the
old fall-aways ball. In the sixth inning
with men on second and third and only
one out, he struck out Howard on a ball
that started like a wild pitch and finally
got across the plate while Howard was
slashing up in the air at it. Again, he
gave Fred Tenney three balls in sue
cession and followed with three perfect
strikes that the old Boston manager
couldn't touch.
1t was a splendid contest to watch,
and Mathewsons can, indeed, be proud
that he won 1t, for such a victory will
give him more confidence than If his
mates had runs up a big score and let
him win an easy game.
Matty will lose some games this sea-
son no doubt. But even in 1905 he did
that. Before the year is out 1.-The great
Mathewson" win again be the talk of
the baseball world. He has come back
to his own and has the real goods; all
the fans have to do is to watch him de-
liver them. .-

Atianta, June Z.-PreSldsnt HafV1e
Jordan of the Southern Cotton asso
citation, who has returned from a tour
of Europe In the interests of the cot
ton growers of the south, gave out the
text of letter to the president of the
New York Cotton Exchange, which
was published in New York Tuesday
In this letter he says:
IL was informed by prominent cot
ton factors and brokers of Liverpool
that a shipment of 5000 bales American
cotton in one lot would soon leave Liv.
erpol for New York to be rendered on
July contracts. sold through the New
York Cotton Exchange: further, that
the bulk of this shipment of 5000 bales
sent back to America was cotton which
had been rendered on the Liverpool
exchange and refused by the arbitra-
ton committee On account of its be.
ing too low a grade to meet the mini
mum requirement Of the Liverpool con
tract was shown the samples of a
portion of the grades of this specia'
lot of 5000 bales, and was informed
that such cotton was regarded as the
refuse of the Louisville market As
l understand 1t, the rules of the Liver
pool and New York Cotton Exchanges
as to the tender of grades on contract
are practically the samey and that moth

There appeared to be no secret or
attempt at concealment in Liverpool,
as to this special shipment of low
grade cotton, and they seemed to take
1t as matter of fact that New York
was the best place to get rid of such
refuse cotton at profit.
ut cannot be denied, and this matter

The criticisms of the New York

not only injure the usefulness of your

ness, but they also injure the entire
spot cotton interest of America"
In concluding, Mr.. Jordan appeals
to the president of the New York Cot
ton Exchange to check the delivery
of cotton refuse scraped up in foreign
markets and enforce the rules of the
New York exchange for the safeguard
ing of American interests.
