 Manager Lynch was trying hard yesterday afternoon to round up the Yost players so that they could give the Brassies a go this coming Satur- day. Final action will not be taken till next week. The directors at their meeting Tues day evening gave an interpretation of the rules relating to the distribution of the cups donated by Bob Kinder for individual batting averages. The rule states that a pitcher must pitch in at least eight games. He can how ever play in other positions on his

 The work of the Orators has in- proved at least fifty per cent. since the advent of .sSlats's Sweeney. Yes slipped up on only one, while at the bat he connected for three singles, which brings his batting average up to .345. It is rumored that before the Boston Nationals leave Pittsburg they wll be under the control of a new manager, the rumor having it that Harry Smith is to be replaced by Sam Leever. the Pirate pitcher, who is either to be sold or given in a trade to Boston.
 Boston fans can see nothing but an- other American League pennant for the Hub. The real success of the club is due to the managerial work of Fred Lake. who has developed some of the best young players in America. Their real test will come next week in New York, when they meet the Yankees in series of four games.
 It is a foregone conclusion that the Boston National League club ~w will change ownership before another sea- owner of the Baltimore Eastern League club. is anxious to purchase the franchie and has already made a substantial offer. which is under con be a boon to National League baseball in the Hub.
 Connie Mack, who seldom errs in sig ing up young ball players. says that Second Baseman Gardner of the Jer- sey City team is the greatest infielder outside of the major leagues. Barney Dreyfuss and Fred Clarke of the Pitts burgs hold a similar opinion. Gardner will be the regular second baseman of the New York Americans next year. New York Sun.
 Washington and Detroit American League clubs are to exchange second basemen. Schaefer, formerly captain of the Tigers, going to the Senators. Jim Delehanty going to Detroit.

DECISION SAVES
 DAY FOR SENATORS
When Brad Kocher Had Ab- rogast Out By a Foot
 Umpire Ruled "Safe"
THREE RUNS IN SEVENTH

A decision at home plate by Umpire Sternberg in the seventh inning, yes terday, gave Hartford a life, so that they were enabled to score three runs defeating the Orators 4-3 Brad Kocher had Abrogast out by foot in this inning, but the ump ruled he was safe. Bridgeports kicked, but what could they do? When the Sem ators finished the inning they stood in the lead Al. With that score against them, the Orators furnished one of those desperate rallies which has been marking most of their games of late and adding strength to the forces at Newfield Park. Two runs were pushed over the tallying board, but there was still one more left to tie. There were two on bases with Hi Ladd at the bat. "Roots" McCar- thy, who relieved Hack Schuman in this inning smiled a sickly smile at old Hi, and the latter fell for 1t, He fouled few balls, and then fouled some more, the result was one that he missed in striking and to say it gently, HI struck out ending the game.
 Heine'' Whitmeyer twirled we'll enough to win the game, if he was given a chance by luck break Ing even, as he was connected control was almost perfect The Sem ators won the game in the eighth: Justice was safe at first when Bun van dropped Whitmeyer's threw. Abrogast singled while Schuman's of fering snuffed Justice at third Moore hit to Hilt who threw home to catch Abrogast. Kocher getting him by a foot, but Umpire Sternberg said he was safe. Warmer hit into right field scoring Schuman and Moore. The Orators got their first run in the fourth on a single by Miller, Swee- ney's safe wallop after which the dou- ble steal was worked, Miller tallying.
 ''Slats" Sweeney opened the ninth with his third hit of the game. Koch CT tore off a single into right plac- ing Sweeney on third. Candy" Kane was sent in to bat for Whitmeyer and worked a pass out Of Schuman. Con nery requested Schuman to step out and Mccarthy to finish the contest Mac was wild passing Steinhauser, forcing, in Sweeney from third. Ban non popped to Abrogast for the first out. While Hit was being thrown out at first on his grounderI to Wan ner. Kocher scored from third. With a man on second and third, and Hi Ladd at the bat, the faithful fans saw nothing but victory as a hit would mean two runs. But, noi What oc- cured has been told. The score:

team, but if it is his desire to contest for the pitchers cup, his batting aver age will be taken only for the time that he has pitched and not in the games he has played in other posi- tions. The same ruling relates to other stated positions on the teams.
 Dutch Richards who has made a success as captain of the No. Crane team has been elevated to that posi- tion on the strong Oriole team.
 Singers are having trouble with their pitchers, Potty Steinmatz was on the books to twirl against the No. 2 Crane team last Saturday, but as he is trying for the outhelders cup after he had made three hits, he final ly went in to twirl, but the game was lost. The management now charges up one of the Singers defeats to Bob Kinder.
 The league for the first time in its history will make an attempt to play a double header at Seaside Park, the first game to start as usual at 2. The games will be played on the No. 1. diamond, the best in the park.
 Look out boys. if you don't agree with certain parties, you will be plac- ed in the so called 'in bad" club. It's an awful disgrace, but the chances are you'll get there anyway.
 Some comment has arisen for the ap- bearing in print of the names of the managers who voted on the secret bal lot in the Yost games. A man who knows on what grounds he stands will not fear to see his name appear. whatever way he votes. Wonder if there was 8 doubt in some of their minds?

Especial from United Press ; Chicago, Aug. 12.-The terms for fight between Jack Johnson and James J. Jeffries have struck | snag already. Charles "A. Comiskey. agreed upon by Johnson and Sam Berger yesterday as stake holder. to-day announced he could not accept as he had too many troubles of his own.

 It just happened that several of his friends thought that they would try and fill him up, and in order to do so, offered to pay for all that he would eat. Arthur accepted the kind offer hiked to the nearest grocery store, and following is a list of the articles and quantity of each consumed before his friends went broke and forced him to desist:
 Twenty-Five bananas, oranges, 9 apples, half pound of candy, 1 quart of peanuts, 1 quart of prunes, pack age of grated cocoanut, l can of saul sage 1 package of cheroots.

MUST RESIST BEAR RAID
SENATOR E. s. SMITH OF SOUTH CAROLINA ADVISES THE
 FARMERS.

Florence, S. C., Oct. 21.-United States Senator Ed Smith, formerly general organizer of the Southern Cot ton Growers Association, declares that the recent action of the cotton mills of the country favoring curtail- ment of production, because of the be- lief that the prices of cotton were higher than warranted by the crop outlook, is unfounded and appeals to the farmers to resist the bear raid, since the condition of the worlds peace insures ready markets, and all supplies are rising in value."
 Senator Smith adds that reports re- ceived by him. as head of a movement of cotton planters having in view the entertainment of the exact conditions concerning the present crop, indicate that it will fall far below last seasons crop.
 He gives the following figures:
 Louisiana crop, half a million; mostly sold; balance likely to be held, despite high prices.
 Arkansas crop, p to 40 per cent short; selling fast, with no disposition to hold.
 North Carolina, about same as last year; farmers able to hold.
 Texas, 40 per cent short; will make between 2,000,0OO and 2,5O0,OO0 bales 7; obliged to sell.
 Mississippi, 100000 bales; 20 per cent short.
 Other states report good crops, with farmers generally able to hold.

HEAVY LOAD OF COTTON
NAYLOR MAN BEATS RECORD OF J. J. CAMPBELL IN
 MILES.

No item printed in The Log Cabin Democrat recently has attracted more attention than one which mentioned the feat of J J. Cantrell, who hauled seven bales of cotton a distance of nine miles from the Arkansas river to Conway with one team of mules. The item was published in the Little Rock Gazette and several other papers, the Gazette making it the subject of it's leading editorial the following day, commenting upon the advantages of good roads and good stock.
 But to hold his laurels Mr. Cant rell will have to try again. J. L. Rob erts of Naylor arrived in Conway last night with a load of seven bales of cotton, exactly duplicating that of MT. Cantrell, and he hauled it with one team of mules a distance of 20 miles, or more than twice as far as the one Mir. Cantrell brought to town He left this morning to haul back to Nay Tor a load equally as heavy as that which he brought to town, his wagon containing 600 brick, 200 pounds of blacksmith coal and a 50-gallon tank of coal oil.

LID the Arkansas for a distance of about six miles on the Grand. The engineers stated they were very sor- ry the stage of water was such the boat could not continue through to Ozark as they would like to study the banks all along. They said, however, the river would be a difficult problem for them to solve if it was bank to bank so they would go back to Wash ington and depend on figures from surveys made by the engineers in the employ of the government. Col. Knight stated yesterday afternoon that it would take at least $3O0,O0O annually to keep the river in shape, and minated that it would take that amount for more than 10 years.
