reached the 15-cent level seemed to be coming back as big buyers on the ad- vance and private reports came in from all over the south. from western specu- iative centers and from many of the chief cotton centers abroad expressing a bullish view of the figures. It is doubtful whether government report ever caused more general buying movement or caused more sensational rapid advance.
 Aside from the census report there was no fresh feature in the news to attract particular attention. Some few reports were received from southern sources tend ing to minimize the bullishness of the census showing. on the ground that comparatively small ginning was due to the lateness of the crop, and there was some southern selling during the day, but these items were completely over shadowed by the strength of the market and the overwhelming volume of bullish comment.
 Predictions of 2o-cent cotton before the end of the season were heard frequently in local trade circles and the market in short reflected complete revival of the bullish enthusiasm noted on the advance of the earlier season.

when the balloons started at St. Iouis." Mir Devereaux said this aft ernoon. "and this low caused the wind to blow from the south about the time the balloons reached Lake Michigan.
 .This south wind, of course. took the America II directly north as Is proven by messages from Hawley.
 .'This straight northerly course took the America II up over the eastern end of Lake Superior. By the time 1t got there the Tow had gotten to the southeast of the balloon with the wind from the southeast. Thus the America IT and her two passengers were car ried west over Lake Superior. Later according to the weather bureau, wind was from the north, which forced the America IT south again, but apparently the huge bag did not get far enough south to come down on terra frma."

FIurry at New Orleans


 New Orleans. October 25.-The cotton market was thrown into a panic of buying on the opening this morning by the cen- sus bureau figures on ginning up to Oc- tober IS. Prices rose IA to 20 points on the first call and the advance was wid- ened to 21 to 25 points in the early trad ing. The market expected a report of 100000 bales, but the census bureau put the amount ginned at only 5.410,s6o bales, against 5,530,96T a year ago, and 6296,166 two years ago.
 Shorts were heavy buyers throughout the morning and prices advanced in a nervous and jerky way. There was com paratively little cotton for sale, offerings coming principally from strong bears, who were selling on a scale up. Offerings from realizing longs were very small. The most active months advanced until they were A to AS points, or nearly half cent up. Toward noon offerings as the result of fresh short sales were freer and this checked the upward movement and caused a reaction of about points.

When that franchise was shifted 10 St.
Louis Duffy stayed in Milwaukee. man
aging that club in the Western league in
1901 and OF lie became manager Of the
Philadelphia National league club in 1893
and was there until 1906. During that
time the club closed IN the FIRST division

1907 he went 10 Providence becoming
part owner Of the Rhode Island Eastern

HUGHEY JENNINGS.

With his "Weeah." his subtle knack
OF handling men, his asgressiveness and
newness, Hughey Jennings has estab-
lished a worldwide reputation In three
years. The Tigers never amounted to
much until the little red haired and
freckled faced bunch of humanity made
his habitat at Bennett Park In 1907.
The very FIRST year Jennings steered his
crew OF baseballists into top place. The
first achievement was followed 'by two
others. In 1908 and 1909 In both these
latter seasons the perspective did not
loom up with any gllttering hcaconS for
Hughey. but his clever brain and his
effervescence was not to be outclassed
by either a superior brain or luck. The
little Tiger always managed TO ind the
Blind Madonna" again after losing
track OF her for awhile.
Until the advent Of Hughey. Bill Don
ovan was simply "Wild Bill" This
cognomen is not connected with him any
more. for he has developed into a star.
Mullen too. was just Il good pitcher.
Hughey showed him how to be a better
one Cobb did not burn the fuse very
much before jennings came. What &
difference now. The ''Weeah man seems
to possess the faculty Of arranging op-
perfume trades and thereby staying in the
race lie is out for his fourth successive
pennant this year and also the worlds

GEORGE sTALLINGS.

The coming season is Stallings' second
as manager Of the New York Highland
ers. When he assumed charge last year
II was thought Ban Johnson would rule
him out OF the league for something he
had supposedly PERFORATED while pilot
OF Detroit few years before. But
Byron B. probably saw # was for the
good Of the league to leave StaIlings un-
molested And the man who had won a
couple Of pennants for Buffalo in the
Eastern stayed. The nearest he came 20
getting into trouble was on the signal
tipping scheme during the latter part Of
the season. This raised much palaver
among the teams and magnates, but
nothing came Of it.
Stallings is known as a wise man
ager and a successful one. Many stars
have been the result Of his valuable
coaching. Among them is kid" FL
berfeld now with Washington. whom
he developed at Detroit Matty McIn-
tyre Of the Tigers is also a Stallings
product although the latter was a good
hitter and hne fielder when he came
to Buffalo.
The Highlander recruit list this sea
son comprises a number Of men OF un-
doubted baseball ability. II an elements
combine satisfactorily Stsllings may put
New York In the first division in the
coming race. lie cannot hope for any
thing better this year

CONNIE MACK.

Cornelius McGillicuddy-the baseball
world knows him as Con.ie Maek-hss
been manager Of the Philadelphia Ath-
letics since 1901, the first year the Quaker
City had a team in the American league.
When Mack assumed the franchise
which was backed by Uncle Ben Shibe
and others. such stars as Lajoie, Bill
Bernhard, Lave Cross. Eddie Plank and
Mike Powers belonged. For a time the
club battled hard, but in midseason
Lajole and a few others deserted and
Mack had a combination good enough TO
oppose the other clubs. lie managed 10
finish in fourth place the first year and
In 1902 his club. by a spectacular squirt
from August on. won the pennant
Since then, with the exception Of one
season. the Athletics have always been
pennant contenders. Last year they
were just nosed out by Detroit Mack
is given credit as being the shrewdest
manager in the younger league. He has
not been quite as successful as Jennings
in winning championships. but as an
all round baseball general he is not
excelled by any man now in the game.
Connie Mack had eighteen years ex-
perience as a player. From 1890 to 1896
he caught for the Pittsburg club and
captained that aggregation for two sea-
sons. IN 1897 he assumed the manage
ment Of the Milwaukee Western league
club. lie stayed IN that city until he
went TO Philadelphia, in 1901.

JAMES MCGUIRE.

The oldest and most peaceful manager
IN the national pastme Is the title that
accrues 10 Deacon Jim" MCGUIRE, who
viii supervise the destinies Of the Maps
this year. He began playing ball IN
Toledo in 1854 This gives some idea OF
HIS age and his service. The discipline
records fan to record a single instance
Of Deacon Jim" being elected from a
game. Not only that. he has never been
fined.
Another creditable achievement Of Nc
Cures is the second endurance catching
record OF the world. The Nap pilot held
the record for continuous performances
for many years with 1S3 games. but
Gibson Of Pittsburg managed 10 pass II
with 40 games last year. Mcguire was
an active catcher up TO last season. He
was with Clarke Griffith at New York a
few seasons. His general fielding average
for twenty-one years is $50 and his bat
ting average .21.
lie began in the days when II was
considered effeminate 70 wear the slight
est covering on the catching hand and
he caught Tony Mullane. then considered
one OF the speediest tw1rlers in the
country. Mcguire has backstopped
many Of the stars Of baseball.
His observation-disclosures and knowledge
should be a big help 70 Cleveland this
year. He was let out by Boston In the
middle Of 1909. but no one can deny
that he started the framework Of the
speed Boys Of whom great things
are expected this year. That being the
case. the fans Of Cleveland can put a
great deal Of confidence IN the old SEN
eral.

BRIEF SKETCHES OF THEAMERICAN LEAGUE MANAGERS
PATSY DONOVAN.

In Patsy Donovan. the Boston Red Sox
have a poor manager. That is. Donovan
has never met with much success as a
manager and his reputation in that de-
partment is not what others have been.
But many think Donovan was the victim
of III luck, rather than being incapable
OF guiding team.
The old Pirate outfelder has a good
bunch at Boston this year and II the
club ever gets out Of the second division.
unless extraordinary reverses present
themselves. Patsy will have thoroughly
demonstrated that as the man behind"
he is really nil.
Donovan succeeded Ned Hanlon as
manager OF the Brooklyn club after the
great Baltimore leader had definitely
shown he had a hoodOo he could not
fight off. But apparently the hoodoo
was with Brooklyn as much as with
Hanlon, for Donovan found It impos-
sible 10 shape a winning club, although
he had some good material. Probably
his best work was in 1906, when he
steered the Superbas from last to sixth
place beating out Cincinnati
Donovan was formerly a great player
having played a star game in right
field for Pittsburg several years ago
Donovan succeeded Connie Mack as
manager Of the Pittsburg club and II
was he who gathered together the stars
who later won three successive champion
ships for Smoke Town.
