Baseball Season PrematureIy Closed
The baseball game at CIevelant
Park Sunday afternoon, June IL, be
tween the MohaWks of this city ana
the Claiborne Stars of Hohen Solms
broke up in a row. Ito use a
popular expression) during the first
half Of the eighth inning, when the
visitors objected to a ruling by Um-
pire Lucien Acosta and left the field,
refusing to continue the game. At
the time Of the disagreement the
score was q tie, to 5, with the
Stars at bat, the bases full and
none out. The decision to which the
Stars took exception was that Ma
dere, one of their leading swatsmen,
was out for batting out OF turn, and
as at the se1f-same moment the run
ner perched on the. initial bag was
retired by clever play by the locals,
uhe up-the-river boys Waxed very
Wrothy and declined to continue the
argument
. Not only We're the ethonors easy
between the MohaWks and their
guests as to runs scored, but in the
matter of hits the teams were neck
andsneck, with six each. Two of the
MohaWks bingles were for extra
bases, however, the lengthy swats
being tWo-sackers by Boote and De
latte. Boote, i'm the rifle pit for the
Donaldsonvillians, perpetrated one
wild pitch and presented one of the
visitors with free transportation to
first, but he more than evened up
for his generosity in this direction
by whiting twelve of the Stars, an
nexing two of the, MohaWks' sextette
of safeties, Zone of them for two
bags as above reeorded), and purloin-
ing a base while traversing the
paths.
Madere, the visitors tWirler, gave
up four passes, handed strikes to
eight Indians, poked out one of the
six singles credited to his team, and
earned the distinction of swiping
base.
The MohaWks chalked up a quin-
tette OF errors, got away with FIVE
steals and had four runners left on
bases. Besides, they earned two
OF their tallies.s The visitors perpe-
trated four miscues, committed lar
ceny twice, allowed four of their
speed artists to languish on the bags,
and, (according to the official scor-
err, We're not legally, equitab1y or
rightfully entitled to any of the five
runs the statistician credits them
with.
The gate receipts totalled the
munificent sum of s8.25, and taking
this fact as an indication that Dom
does not want baseball
this summer and is not prepared to
support a team, Manager Bloomen-
stie1 and the members of the Mo-
hawk club have wisely decided to
disband the organization and termi-
nate the season. In view of the
rldlculously poor patronage accorded
the sport in this community for the
past two years this is believed to
be a very wise conclusion, since it |
has been demonstrated that baseball !
is losing proposition in this city,
no matter how small the expense I'M
CURED or how large the degree OF
time and trouble expended to pop-
ularize the sport.
And thus does another Donald dson-
vile team pass into inglorious his
tory. May the sport and the COM

RECORD PRICE FOR COTTON.
Crop OF 1910 Most Valuable Ever
Produced in United States, Bring-
lns Nearly One Billion Dollars
Production In Louisiana Falling
Off.

The estimated value of the cotton
crop Of 1910, the most valuable ever
produced in the United States, is
1908, ,l8O, 900, compared with s812,O9O..
600 for 1909; $681 ,230 900 for 4 1908:
s7O0,s60,D00 for 1907. and $721 $50 :
1000 for 1906.
During the last five years the
price of lint cotton has averaged
about 10 cents per pound, or about
$50 per bale, and the value of the
cotton seed has increased from S13. so
1910.
The value Of 500-pound bale of
cotton, including the value of the
seed, was $87.15 in 1910, compared
with $50.37 for 1904 and with $50. %
in 1898. To the producer of a crop
OF 20 bales this means that whereas
he realized 1904 IN 1898, he received
Sl,743 in 1910, which increase, not
Withstanding a greater cost of pro-
ductlon at the present time, meas
ures the difference between a, mere
existence and comfortable living.
The quantity of cotton reported for
the crop of 1910, with linters includ-
ed and round bales counted as half
bales, is 11,965,962 running bales;
expressed in gross 50O-pound bales.
the crop amounted to 2,O05.6S8 bales.
which is 1,690,306 bales, or 1854 per
Cent, greater than the crop of 1909.
but 1851, ,618 bales, or 11.6 per cent.

The average annual production of
cotton in the United States for the
past five Years is 12,175,867 bales. or
17O,179 bales more than the crop Of

The production for all the states,
except Georgia and Louisiana, show
ed material increase in 1910 over

bales: in 1908, 4se,350 bales; in 1909,
264,676 bales; and in 1910, 255,732
bales. The decline i'm production in
this state is due to several causes,
the principal one being the ravages
of the boil Weevil. A considerable
portion OF the land planted in cotton
IN former years is now being plant
ed IN sugar cane and III rice.
The area planted in cotton in
1910 was .s3,41S,0O0 acres, of which
| ,015, 900 acres, or per cent, were i
abandoned, leaving 80, 403, 900 acres
as the area from which the crop was
harvested
The average production per acre
IN 1910 was III pounds. compared
with l55 pounds in 1909.
The average price of upland cotton
for the past nine years has ranged
from $40 cents in 1902 to 14.69 cents
In 1910. The average price is used
IN estimating the total value of the
crop. sea-island cotton grown in
South Carolina sold in 1910 at an
average price of 1852 cents per
pound, while the average for 1909 is
1885; that grown in Georgia and

Of Gould. In striking contrast to the
host of stage folk, who find the mar
riage tie irksome after a few years,
Mrs. Gould, who retains in her ma
turity all of her early physical attrac-
tions, has been-as far as the world
knows-an uncommonly contented wife.
In the twenty-five years that have
interviewed, her mother continued her
guide and faithful counselor, respected
and loved alike by George Gould and
her daughter. With the possible ex-
ception of Mary Anderson, Our Mary"
who left the stage to become the wife
of Jose De Nevarro, a multi million
aire, the stage world holds no more in
teresting example of a successful ana
at the same time happy marriage from

debtedness to the sound advice and
good sense Of her mother.

REILLY IS IN
A CLOSE PLACE
FORMER DISTRICT ATTORNEY
OF NEW YORK Is CONVICTED
OF PROTECTING GROUP OF
UNDERSTANDINGS WITH EVE
Lynn THAW TOO.
Special TO The Journal.

New York, June 17.-The conviction
OF former assistant district attorney
Daniel O'Rielly for protecting a group
of bond thieves and helping them Sc
cure a reward of $4,000 for the re-
turn of the stolen securities, has
raised the question in many quarters.
What Is the matter with the New York
bar?
O'Rielly in the tenth prominent law
yer to be convicted of a criminal Of
fence in the last few years and one
of the hundred disbarred for NAL
practice. OF the others, Abe Hummel,
convicted of subornation of perjury
in connection with the divorce suit of
Clementine Dodge Horse, the present
wife of Charles W. Moorse, former Ice
King, now in the federal Jail at At
lanta, against her first husband, Carl
Fisher Hansen husband of Elsie Bro
kaw, and brother-in-law of w. Gould

perjury in a blackmail case against a
Pittsburg millionaire and Colonel Am
mon, counsel for $40 per cent Miller
were the best known.
O'Rielly received $40, 900 from Harry
Thaw for assisting in his defense in
the trial of the young millionaire for
numbering Stanford White, but IL is
said by his friends gambled it all away
in a few months. OF the quarter of
a million dollars he is reputed to have
earned in a few years, most of it is
said to have been frittered away in
the same way. Ever since the first
Thaw trial there has been an impress
sion among his fellow members of the
bar and good part of the laity, that
the slayer of White owes the fact that
he was not convicted and electrocuted
to O'Rielly who is given the credit of
working up the sensational criminal
assault charge of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw
against White, which proved to be the
bulwark of the defence and unques-
tionably swayed the jury in behalf of
the defendant Although. grateful to
him for what he had done for Thaw,
the latter's family 1t has been common
rumor for a year or more has became
very much embittered toward him of
late because of his subsequent friend
