PLANNING FOR SPORTS
Large and Energetic Physical Depart
ment Committee Selected by Direc-
tor Meredith For Seasons Fun.

From The World Of Wednesday:
Physical Director Meredith of the
Y. M. C. A. is busy preparing for the
spring and summer campaign But one
man can't do everything, even with
the moral support of an influential
body of men-he must have the help
OF some earnest and active workers TO
achieve something worth while. With
this in mind Director Meredith has
gotten together physical depart
ment committee that is sure to be
an important adjunct to the Y NJ. G. A.
The committee consists of l.. H.
Thompson, chairman; DR.. E. II. Bit
ner, DIR. H. G.. Tonkin, Allen r. En-
inert, Prof. w. G. Morton, Prof. p. w.
Buhrman, August Zimmerman Jr.,
Geo. Wyndham, Howard Mason Edw.
A. Hollis, Leon II. Ware, James Tay-
J. l.. Seibert, James M. Rothwell and
c. G. Pitzer.
Some of the members of this COM
n.ittee met at tine Y. NJ. c. A. last
night, and with Director Meredith,
they talked over the work ahead of
them and made some plans to carry
it out. In order to do this more ef-
fectively it was decided to divide up
the general committee and assign GER
tain work to each division which, of
course, is practical idea. The sub
committees are as follows:
acknowledgements, Tonkin, Bow
ers and Pitzer.
Track Work-E,mmert, Bitner and
Rockwell.
Tennis-Morton, Bit1er and Mason.
Gymnasium Work-Taylor, Wynd-
ham, Buhrman, Ware and Hollis.
Bowling and Pool-Seibert, thinner
man and Smith.
Fdnancial-Pitzer, Bowers and zim-
norman.
Supt Morton of the city schools
will work in conjunction with Direc-
tor Meredith along physical culture
lines in the schools. The later gen.
tleman has been working on this idea
for some time and it seems to be talk
ing hold, as it should be, for It is in
line with modern educational meth
DDS
Then there is baseball, the favor
tie outdoor game with young and old.
The baseball committee is going TO-
get to work at once and raise money
by subscription or otherwise with
which to equip the Y. M. c. A. team OF
the local league. The indications for
baseball in Martinsburg this summer
are now looking more hopeful.
The track committee viii try to
have track meet here early in June,
feature of which will be marathon
race with Shepherd College, the race
to end at the Y NJ G. A. Athletic
Field ON West King street.
Besides all this there is to be a ply
steal culture contest the latter part CT
June between the four ward schools
on the Y. NJ. c. A. Athletic Field,
which promises u be Of unusual In
terest because, If for no other reason,
of its novelty in Martinsburg.
So, all in ALL it looks as II there will
be plenty OF outdoor sports here this
season If the physical department
committee OF the Y. NJ. C. A. carry cut
ali the plans proposed.

CHICAGO GRAIN

Chicago, May S.-Belief that the gov

day. The popular estimate was that the
improvement hight reach 4 to 5 points

fixed altogether on the government re-
port and there was a display of consider
able bUilish feeling due to dry weather

oats were slow and steady July

New Orleans Close.

New Orleans, May S.-Cotton futures
opened steady at a decline Of 8 to 10
points on the old crop months and a de-
cline of 10 to IA points on the new. Cables
were not up to expectations and the
weather over Sunday was extremely
favorable. kilograms from all portions
of the cotton belt said that clean, dry
weather was prevailing and that with a
little higher temperatures, conditions
would be ideal. Rapid progress in plant
ing was reported. The long distance fore
cast indicated continued fair weather
with rising temperatures. This led to
heavy selling Immediately after the first
call. After the first hour of trading the
old crops were to 10 points down and
the new crops were 13 to 16 down.
Support was offered the old crop months
by leading bulls, and this checked the de-
cline and brought about some little cover
ing by shorts. AS the morning progress
ed the near months strengthened and
finally made a complete recovery. The
new crops were not as strong; they were
held down by the forecast of fair weather
over practically the entire belt for to-
night and tomorrow. Nearly 1000 May
notices were issued, but were stopped by
prominent firms At noon the old crop
months were unchanged to 1 point up,
compared with Saturdays close and the
new crops were 8 to II points under Sat
urdays close.

COTTON MARKET
CLOSES STEADY
BY Associated Press.

New York, May S.-The cotton market
opened steady at a decline of to IL
points under scattering liquidation and
local selling encouraged by disappointing
cables and generally fair weather map.
Offerings were not aggressive during the
early trading, however, there seemed to
be bull support for old crop positions and
the market became irregular shortly after
the call with May and July selling back
to within or points Of Saturday s
closing figures, while the new crop rail-
lied only point or two from the lowest.
The old crop showed continued strength
during the middle of the morning, stop
loss orders being uncovered in July,
which sold up to 1914 or new high rec
ord for the season and about points
over the closing figures of last week.
Other positions rallied only slightly IN
response to the strength Of July and
when the furry Of covering was over the
market eased off slightly owing to favor
able weather prospects with the market
about points higher to points lower at
midday.
Trading was less active during the
afternoon and there was enough realiz~
ing to impart a nervous and unsettled
market, but reactions were very slight
and July sold up to 1887 or 10 points net
higher. New crop positions advanced to
within or points of Saturdays Guessing
in sympathy.

were still on board, and others were
struggling in the water, If true, are as
rare as they are to be regretted. Ship
masters as a rule being made Of such
heroic stuff that frequently they err
in staying by their ships too long and
in sacrificing their lives wholly I'M
necessarily. Hundreds of cases might
be cited to prove the truth of this
statement. The sentiment, however,
that a captain must go down with his
ship should be discouraged. There is
absolutely nothing to be gained by a
man committing suicide after he has
done all he can to save those in
trusted to his charge. There are cases
when a man may, by remaining by
his ship, be successful in bringing
her into port, such, for instance, as
the schooner Holliswood that Capt. E.
E. Walls would not abandon in the
Gulf Of Mexico, last October, with the
result that he was towed safely into
Galveston later on.
A master can always Judge -heth
er there is a chance to keep his vessel
afioat and, If there is none, only a
man whose mind has been unbalanced
by the disaster overtalking his vessel
is justified in going down with his
ship after he has done all he could in
human power to save those on board
