The fact is the national union COM

The plan in it's present shape repre-
sents one of the most tremendous
undertakings ever attempted in the
world of commerce. To dispose of
the stupendous American cotton out

speak, and to cut out the broker and

cess of selling direct to the spinner

Every one pictures the Italian as
eating macaroni. What if l tell
you that the Italians. taking them as u
people, do not eat macaroni, and yet
this is virtually true. Macaroni in Italy
costs to s cents pound, and it Is
too costly for common use. 1t is about
as accurate to say that the Italians

cans live on turkey Macaroni to the
working Italian is luxury. You often
see young fellows on a holiday in

Americans would eat ice cream. A
customary workman's dinner is hunk
of bread broken apart and "buttered"
with few traces of tomato sauce. AS

BAN JOHNSON
AT IT AGAIN
But His Kick Against Worlds
Series Won't Interfere
With the Games

It was about time for Ban Johnson to
kick up a fuss with the National league
leaders wlping up the diamond with his
champions he must do something and
SO he is going to abolish tho worlds series
at least that is what one OF his mouth
pieces in Chicago intimates. THE game
is deterioratng." Ban is quoted to have
said Many fans thiE, it is-in the Ameri-
can league. The payers are making a
money feature out of the series. it will
hurt the game" That would be serious IL
so. but thsre is nothing to IT, The game
will live. as it did before Ban was thought
of as it will live long after he and every
body now connected with it is trying to
learn some other game in "the undiscov-
cred country"
This howl from American league sources
is OF annual occurrence. If it is not one
thing IL is another. When New York and
Chicago won so easily it was because
the American league team was tired out
in a close contest But the great Cubs
showed that National league champions
did not tire under the most terrific strain
ever placed upon baseball team. 50 some
other excuse had to he found It was
bound 20 come and the only thing that
could be worked up was a complaint about
the worlds series and a hint that the
great Ban would bar it out. Well, no one
will kick II has been such snap for tho
Nationals Of late that the public is tired
Of II and only about half the fans attend
ed this year compared with a year ago.
There is still more trouble for somo-
body. as announced from American league
headquarters Several of the ball players
since the season is ended, have been play
ing games with the independent teams i'm
Chicago. This has CALLED Johnson too, anC
he now talks Of barring the men out.
Most Of the players belong 10 the Wash
ington team Manager Cantillon and the
owners of that team have not katowed
enough tn Ban and so he is going to try
and throw Cantillon out OF the game. The
Chicago dispatch says that Cantllon did
not do his best TO defeat Detroit The only
excuse for this yarn is Cantillons desire
to play fair with Detroit. Cleveland work
cd up a howl about Delehanty. one of the
Washingtons best players. and johnson
barred that player from Cleveland for n
year When Cantillon went to Detroit and
Chicago he did not play Delehanty. either.
lie was determined to be fair. johnson has
got mad over it, He has been trying to
down Cantillon all season. but the WASH
ington man has been too slick for him so
far. It is pretty little fight as it stands
and may cause some ruction when the
American league meets in December.

Thirteen years old and earning s15,-

made for the lads services by the

Mr. Wootton declined the offer.

rejected the retaining fee. "The con-
tract would call for his services in

would have to accompany him abroad.

do not believe he is worth the sum

This repection Of such valuable Of
fer was never heard Of before on the
part Of a Jockeys parent. II shows a
new era in turf affairs. In this coun-
try fathers with promising lightweight
riders are continually squabbling with
turfmen on behalf of their sons for
more money.
Wootton gives promise Of leading
the list of winning riders this year. as
the racing season in England will not

A FOOTBALL
RULE PUZZLE
Minnesota Nebraska Game
Presented One That Will
Interest Lovers of Game

In the case Of Minnesota VS.. Ne
braska last Saturday the former was
the lighter team. but had the Corn
huskers on the defensive a greater
part of the time. The score was TO
0. and for twenty minutes of the Sec
ond half the Nebraskans were fighting
within their own fifteen yard line stav-
ing off a Minnesota touchdown. There
was a play in the game of direct in
terest to the rule makers and 10 refer
ees in general and on which there was
difference of opinion.
One. Of the Minnesota tackles took
the ball. pushed through the line hesi-
tated for an instant, then. seeing an
opening. went on and over the Ne.
braska goal line The referee called
the ball back on the ground that its
forward progress had been stopped.
II IS. of course. idle to pass upon tbs
merits of this particular case without
having seen it. but it may be said that
if the forward progress should be con"
sidered as stopped every time run
ner. being clear and not in the grasp
of the opponents. came TO a momen.
tarv stop there would be far less
ground gained than there is. The rule
on the point reads:
"A down occurs when the referee
blows the whistle or declares the bali
dead. whenever he Cthe runner is so
held that his forward progress has
been stopped"
This rule is Of recent adoption. It
was designed TO prevent an opponent
from grabbing the ball from tho
runner when the latter had been stop
ped for down and was loosening his
grip on The. ball.
