ST. LOUIS. August 9.-The casualty list
in tie major leagues is growing larger

he will be out OF the game for some time.

this stage of the race is an absolute
necessity if the Cardinals are to make
any kind of a showing.
In the sixth inning Of Mondays game

foot was hit by foul ball. The injury
put the MANAGER out of the game By
the time the team was leaving the club
house. the foot swelled to twice its nor
NAL size. and Bresnahan was unable to
walk. 1t was feared by the attending
physicians that several small bones had
been shattered, and ig this were so Bres-
nahan would be unable 70 play for the
remainder of the season. An X-ray ex
animation was made yesterday and show
ed that no bone in Bresnahan's foot was
broken. 1t will be several days before

New Orleans Close.

New Orleans, May 10.-Cotton futures
opened steady at an advance of to 6
points on the old crop months and an
advance of 1 to 2 points on the new.
Gables were favorable but were offset, to
some extent, by the favorable weather
map. Reports from the entire cotton belt
were that ideal conditions for planting
and working the crop were prevailing. In
the face of these accounts the bulls were
aggressive and soon after the call put
July to 1911, a new high figure for the
season. At the end of the first half hour
of trading, the old crops were IL to II
points over yesterdays close and the new
crops were IL to II points over.
From the middle of the morning on,
the market was dull and the trading was
featureless. No great amount of business
come from outsiders and professionals
withdrew temporarily from the market.
Both fractions in the market appeared to
be waiting for new developments in the
old crop months. Something of a tenden-
cy to shift the long interest from July to
August was in evidence. Many important
sections Of the belt reported that crop
prospects were fast becoming very good
but prices held steady, nevertheless. Late
in the morning there was a slight re-
cession, amounting to half a dozen points
on the most active months. At noon the
list was 9 points over yesterdays close.
