ELIMINATE CL|NCH FROM BOXING CONTEST Masterson Tells Major Burke s
 Idea
WOULD COUNT THE TIME
Elapsed During Clinch and Add It to ROund-OnIy Drawback Is That Matches Might Be Made
 EDO Long

New York, January 22.-(Special)-Maj. John M. Burke of Wild West fame, made a suggestion to me the other day that might go long way toward breaking up clinching and holding in boxing con- tests if followed The major is an en- thusiastic patron of boxing. He rarely misses a bout when it's possible for him to attend. In discussing the subject the major thought if the club managers would appoint an additional timekeeper whose duties would be to register the time spent in lcIinches, and add it to the round, the boxers would do less holding. For in stance, if the time spent in clinching Curing each round was added to the three minutes of boxing the fighters would mighty soon get tired of the hugging game. The major thought the experi- ment was well worth trying The only fault to be found with the majors sug- gestion would be the time it would take 1n some instances to pull off 10-round bout. The way some boxers we have seen . are in the habit of doing there work 1t would take all night to get through with one contest.
 The friends of Frankie Burns, and they are many, intend to go hook, line and sinker on him to beat Digger Stanley Friday night at the National Sporting club. These friends argue that Stanley's reputation as champion of England, backed by the Lord Lonsdae belt, will not frighten the Jerseyman in the least Frankie doesn't underrate the English man, but he has mighty good opinion of himself nevertheless
 Whichever wins. it will be a contest worth going a long way to see. Both boys have been training faithfully for the last 10 days, and will be in shape when they enter the ring to fight for the Lord Lonsdale belt or any old kind of belt The boys will no doubt belt each other to the queens taste, all of which will be delight to the members.
 That Johnny Coulon, according to all recognized preeedents, is right in his con- tention that 115 pounds, ringside is the bantam weight limit, appears to be well founded. This weight has not only been recognized in this country but in Eng land and Australia as well. To back track the bantam weight class, as far as Queensbury rules go, it would be found that 115 pounds has been the ac- cepted weight limit by the England and American champions for that class.
 Owing to the fact that Digger Stanley the English bantam weight champion will meet Frankie Burns, an aspirant for the tilt,e at 117 pounds, ringside, next Friday night at the National Sporting club, the question as to the attitude of the sporting authorities of this country will take in the event that Burns should win, is being seriously considered by Johnny Coilon.
 ''So far as am concerned, if Ia were Couion's manager, I'd let him fight any Of these so-called bantams and would not be particular of a pound or two. In 2O-round battle or to finish, Johnny looks to have cinch on beating any feather weight in the country, let alone cantams. But Coulon no doubt knows what he is doing"

CENSUS REPORT WILL INFLUENCE COTTON Market Review Will Also Be
 Issued SEASONS LAST REPORT ThesTrade Will Give Much Attention to statistics-Nany People Arc Dis-
 turbed over Decreases in
 Visible Supply
SEASONS LAST REPORT

Now Orleans. January 22.-The new week in the cotton market will open five minutes after the census bureau report on the amount of cotton ginned un to the middle of January Is issued. The figures may have considerable to do with the course of prices this week, opinion up to the end of last week hav- ing been very conflicting and ranging all the way from 125.O00 to 275,o00 bales as the amount ginned during the period between the first and the middle of the month. Should either one of these extremes be confirmed prices probably would be moved strongly.
 In connection with this report a re- view of the market letters issued by commission houses is interesting. They tell outside traders to buy futures if the market breaks and to take profits on long cotton if the market bulges Very ~little is said about selling short under circumstances which would lead to the conclusion. no matter what the figures put out by the census bu- reau are, they are not expected to change bullish estimates of the total crop.
 In one way this report is important for 1t is practically the last of the season. It Is the last of the semi monthly reports. The final report will be made op March 20 from data col l lected up to the end of February Thus the Trade will not be given any more ginning information for two months, which will increase the disposition to look upon tomorrows total as being practically the entire crop, minus lint CTS and repacks.
 With the census report out of the way the trade is going to give much atten- ton to statistics. The large decreases in the visible supply last week which compared with increases both last year and the year before greatly dis turhed people who have been com placently watching the visible supply pile up as the result of the very large movement from the interior. The loss in interior stocks was intensified by the decrease in the visible supply and statistics from the interior are going to be eagerly waited for this week. If they arc as bullish as they were last week they are going to command much attention and will undoubtedly affect prices favorably, for with interior stocks already smaller than they were year ago. the market will not be able to stand a further loss without discounting it.
 There have been rumorS of special trading in May and of much bullish ac- tivity in that month in this market, but there have been no signs Of it around the ring. Should such signs arise they would be taken as indica- tions of a bull campaign in May, July and possibly Augusa and September and outside interest in the market would quicken with consequent increased buy ing.

FOUNDRY IRON
 IS STILL ACTIVE

New York January 22.-Activity con- tinued in foundry iron at the expense of prices in the east and south last week. but few sales of stub making iron were affected. Contracts for about 75,OOO tons ? were placed in all sections, of which 35. 900 tons were placed in the eastern dis trict. The largest tonnages went to man. ufacturers of machine tools at Easton, Pa, makers of electrical equipments in New England, and to pipe works in the east, south and in the interior.
 New inquiries came out for about 25. .OOC tons, the largest including manufacturers of heating apparatus and of blowers in Massachusetts. In all about 75,O00 tons are still under negotiation, including about 15,O00 tons of basic in the central west. One prominent feature was the freer of- fering of furnace accumulations of all sorts and kinds of metal and the taking ur of about 3O.000 tons of such iron by pipe works, mainly at the south.
 The only feature of encouragement of the steel mills was the release of many small orders for plain structural material, accompanied by specifications for quick shipment. Some larger export orders were secured. Beyond this the situation was unchanged, and it is notable that ACuhu 'ohhoSC ihNOiNiH6 lOIB uellNeT1eS are withheld and there is reason to ex- pect they will continue to be until some Of the concessions which consumers de- mand are made. Dullness was especially notable in fabricated steel, contracts ac- tually placed aggregating 14,OOO tons and new tenders were relatively small. The Bethlehem Steel company will supply the 12,000 tons of steel for the McAlpin hotel, having agreed to accept part payment in bonds, but difficulty is experienced in finding fabricator to accept such terms.
 Railroads placed orders for 3700 cars, S2 locomotives and 450O0 tons of rails, the latter including 25000 tons for export.
 Wire products were advanced on Satur- day $1 ton by the American Steel and Wire company. Wire has been relatively lower than steel bars and now is read fIIsted

the team of Manager Bragg in Birming- ham on Thanksgiving Day. Manager Bragg declined this date on the ground of his agreement with Georgia. W
 The idea of playing football game was then abandoned, and plans for baseball games were begun. Manager Stickney offered Manager Bragg dates in April and May. Manager Bragg, after an investi- gation, discovered that all April dates had been signed away, and that plans had already been put on foot toward the arrangement of the May schedule. Man ager Bragg wrote Manager Stickney, however, that if Alabama would give Au- burn football game. then he would give Alabama a baseball game, even if it was necessary to cancel a date already made.
 Manager Stickney then wrote Manager Bragg, alleging that the latter had brok- en faith in the original agreement to agree. Therefore, the gulf between the two has been materially wideneds n
 Birmingham will possibly have to close down furnace or two as result of the disagreement.

According to a clipping in Denver newspaper, it is very probable that William McG;lvray, one of the best of the Barons last season, will become chief clerk in the office of the treasurer of Denver. The older brother of McGil- vray is at the present time street com missioner of Denver. The McGilvrays are staunch democrats, and the recent successes of that party have materially aided them. It matters not however, whether Large William becomes city of- ficial or not, he will play first bag for Birmingham when the season rolls around
 It is good news that Chicago has agreed to let Birmingham have Messenger-in case Messenger fails to make good with Chicago.
 But so excellenty did Messenger play for the White Sox last season that be- fore disposing of him this year Comskey will give him a thorough trial. It is not believed that Messenger is strong enough in every particular to remain in the 'big show. But in the Southern league he is ,tep-notcher The local association will pay handsomely for the possession of the silent wonder.
 This pitcher, Kent, recently acquired by Molesworth from the Chicago White Sox, appears to be an excellent young finger. The last two seasons he played in the Central association, and it is the unanimous opinion that he was the best pitcher in that company. The White Sox secured him and turned him over to Br- mingham on an optional agreement.
 Incidentally. Birmingham will have some giant fingers next season. Trough, Chenault and Kent are higher than six feet, and Fleharty is nobody's small boy.
 On account of the fact that March 26 is Sunday, it will be impossible for Bir- mingham to entertain the Detroit Tigers
