THE CUB-SOX
SERIES QUIET
NO BETTING IN CHICAGO ON THE
CITY CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES OR
ON RESULT or WORLDS SERIES
by Associates Press.

Chicago, Oct. 11.-Although the first
battle for the city title will be fought
two days hence and the worlds cham
pionship series start but a couple of
days later, few big wagers have been
recorded in the various sporting CEN
ters OF Chicago.
Never before in the history OF post
season struggles for baseball su-
premacy has the betting been so light
This condition is not thought to be
due to lack OF interest among the
fans, however. but rather because men
who take a chance" are undecided on
which team to bet in the two series
in both of which the contending lines
are considered 50 evenly matched.
Few offers to bet on either series
have been heard on the floor of the
Chicago board of trade.
Those bets which have been made
on the outcome of the Cubs White Sox
conflict have been at even money.
Several brokers have accommodated
customers and take both ends of the
wagers on the Athletics Giants clash
with the New York team favorite.

BARELY STEADY
~ Associated Press.

New York, Oct. 11.--Cotton futures
opened steady at an advance of 207
points in sympathy with higher Liver
pool cables and on a continuation Of yes
terday's covering movement Offerings
were heavy on the advance and prices
eased off to within a point or so Of last
nights close.
There was continued demand both from
shorts and reactionists later in the morn
ing, but offerings proved too heavy to be
sustained and the market sold Of to a
net loss of about 8 to 9 points
1t is estimated that shorts have covered
400, 900 bales in the local contract market
since the opening yesterday and the
readiness with which this has been pur-
chased within 20 to % points of the low
records seemed to disCoura ge recent buy
ers and led to some re-selling during the
late forenoon. while there was continued
selling in the South and good deal Of
pressure from trade sources.

The market was les active during the
afternoon and rather steady on cables

the closing figures Of yesterday. South

So The Fish Wort Leak,

The late Prof. Corson, Of Cornell, 81
said Cornell instructor, had little
sympathy with the freakish philolo-
gists OF the modern school.
II once quoted to Prof. Corson an
extremely interesting and odd analogy
that had just been suggested for a
Celtic word. He smiled and said that
the analogy was about as probable
as that which linked FISH scales to
shingles.
A little girl, he explained, once asked
her mother:
"'Are scales fastened on fsh like
shingles on a roof
YES, dear. the mother answered
They're put on that way. OF

darken that DULY polished, unquiet
floor OF water, widening In loneliness
from those desolate, fog bound shores.
Pausing beside the beached catboat
Coast stared hungrily at the little YES
sci of shore, gently swinging at its
mooring. How to reach her, how
make use Of her If needs must? 9.
He shook his head in doubt, strong
ly assured now that he would set foot
upon her decks only through exercise
Of force.
His hopes reverted now to Apple
yard as the last resort. Without the
little man and the Echo-or some 9TH
er boat-he was powerless, a figure
for the mirth Of his enemies.
At his feet the blind dog crouched,
motionless as stone, seeming to search
the infinite with the unwinking stare
Of its dead, colorless eyes.
Abruptly a sound Of pelting feet
transformed the scene. The blind dog
lifted up with jump and faced round,
growls, rumbling in its throat. Coast
turned, startled and apprehensive.
Down the way to the beach Chang
was running at a curious, outlandjsh
jog-trot, head low between his broad,
gaunt shoulders, Apparently he was
heading directly for Coast
With little thrill Of fear the Amer
lean glanced round for some means OF
defending himself. He had no doubt
that the Chinaman had been commits
stoned to dispose Of him even as poor
Power had been done away with. In
a sudden flush Of anger he laid hold
Of the first thing that caught bis eye
which happened to be the half rotted
tfller OF the catboat a heavy and
formidable club II 1t did not break
with the initial blow-and moved a
pace or two forward, holding himself
In q position Of defence.
But within a hundred yards the Chi
naman swerved widely. then held on
! steadily toward the northern sand
spit. A moment or two later he ar
rived at the waters edge, and while
Coast stared half stupefled, stopped
and stripped to his linen drawers, then
took to the water. wading out until he
lost footing, then swimming with long,
powerful, overland strokes, straight

Watching the round, shaver poll
with its cooled pigtail cut swiftly
through the glimmering silvery sheet
OF water, Coast lost himself in anxious
speculation until recalled by q quick
movement Of the dog at mis- side, &C
companied by a deep-throated growL
He wheeled then to discover Black
stock close upon them, his burly body
swaying heavily as be came on at a
moderate pace.
A second growl, that more resem-
b8ed an angry roar, brought the man
to a standstiIl, with a hand moving
nervously toward the side pocket Of
his coat, IN which a hrearm sagged
yisibly.
