his bitterest foes on the diamond.
Although Chance has been as
steady as clockwork in his plays
around first base, although his 1ntul'
tive ability in directing his men has
been a big factor in the Cubs sue
cess, singularly enough he has tig'
urcd in few spectacular plays that
have stood out as thrilling pennant-
winning feats of the diamond. There
is one notable exception, however.
In 1909 the Cubs took pennant
from the White Sox in a city series
and in the fourth game, one OF the
greatest ever played in Chicago, Man

Ed Walsh, Comiskey's greatest

all, hurting one of the great games
of his career. The Cubs had taken
two games and the White SoX one.
The South Siders needed this game
to tic up the series.
Both Walsh and Overall were
difficult to hit on that day, but the
great spitball pitcher was trif1e
wild at the start, very unusual for
siabbist numbering control as one OF
his reliable assets. The Cubs had
dribbled in two runs in the first and
third innings and the White Sox had
counted single run in the fourth.
Walsh had settled down to his
matchless pace in which he was
practically hitless. The hope of the
Cubs lay in holding their advantage.

COTTON LOSES GOOD
 PORTION OF GAIN
More Favorable Weather Reports Responsible.
 Close Steady

New York. June 11.-Cotton lost a good part of yesterdays advance during to- days trading owing Nto more favorable weather reports and closed barely steady at a net decline of to 12 points.
 The opening was steady but to 4 points lower on the failure of the weather map to indicate that the storm reported off the gulf coast yesterday had worked any nearer the belt over night Yester- days buyers seemed disappointed at this showing, and while the cables were full up to expectations the market here worked rower during the morning under scat tering liquidation or local pressure. which held the encouragement of rather more favorable official fosecasts.
 After showing a net loss of from 10 to l2 points the market steadied on covering and little support from trade sources, and during the noon hour had a bulge of or points which seemed to result from a rumor of tidal wave at Galveston. This rumor was quickly denied. however, and the market again easied off with the close practically the lowest prices of the day on active positions.

MEMPHIS WILL NOT TOLERATE
 NAUGHTY SHOWS

Memphis, June 11.-Ru1es governing pie ture theatres of most stringent nature havo been promulgated by the city board of censors, and all managers notified that a breach of these rules will mean the abo- lition of vaudeville in their amusement re- sorts. The regulations are now posted on the stages of the different theatres. The rules follow:
 No actress shall wear a skirt shorter than four inches above the knee and no vulgar costume of any kind will be permit ted: no amateur fights and no prize dances or kindred events; general public must not be permitted on the stage or around the dressing rooms; no suggestive situations or language and no profanity permissible; no frequenting of alleys by performers or visitors, no lady minstrels; theatres shall have sufficient light to enable ono to dls- tingush the feature sof those five feet distant; no smoking on tho stage, and nothing to be allowed indecent to shock refined people; we cannot control the pri- vate actions of private good citizens, but we will control the public actions of pri- vate citizens attending theatres as well az theatre employees. Any infraction of thes, rules will result in the closing of tho offending theatre"

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans June 1L-cotton futures orened steady at.a decline of to points points. Cables were about as expected. but the weather map was forable contrary to anticipations.
 Longs began to unload as soon as the market opened. There was comparatively little demand in the early trading, and the market had an easy undertone. The bull support that was SO much in evidence yesterday was lacking today
 At the end of the first half hour of business prices were 6 to ' points under yesterdays close.
 The list had a saggng tendency the forenoon through. The ring was very quiet from the middle of the forenoon for ward Much bearish gossip was circu- lated chiefly in regard to the good crop prospects in the western belt, but 1t led to little short selling. Offerings came principally from the recent buyers. Pri- vate cable messages from Liverpool be- spoke pessmism of the labor situation, but the comparatively large spot sales in the English counterbalance. At noon the trading months were 6 to points down the lower level reached.
 Tn the afternoon the market was quiet and steady At o'clock prices were 10 to II points down.

CLOSE WEAK IN THE
 WHEAT MARKET
Beneficial Rains Counted Against Wheat Values.
 Provisions Easier

Chicago, June 11.-Although wheat re- sponded promptly to the bullish crop re port the effect failed on account of de- mand proving to be of lasting kind. The close was weak at range slating from last figures yesterday to ssc below today. Corn finished 1-16QAc down, oats off A@ l1sc and provisions less expensive by 509 10c. Beneficial rains counted somewhat against wheat values. September swung from s1 .o5a1 .o7 and in the end was $1 .o5is. This was shade lower than 2l hours before.
 Corn relucantly advanced on rumors that a large amount of the stock here had become hot in the elevators. Denials, fine weather and the wheat price collapse led afterward to renewed selling.
 The close was weak. July. which nuctuated from 7sssc to 7oisc, closed at 7sssc, decline of 1sq14o net Cash grades were steady. No. yellow was quoted at 76a7elsc.
 The hearish crop news from Washing ton put a drag all day on oats. Temper ary strength of wheat and corn acted as a mild opposing influence. July ranged from 5osc and 511ac, with last sales 1lse under last night at 5o14650ssc.
 Provisions took on an easier tone than has been the rule of late. Sales by pri- vate wire houses and smaller western packers appeared to be chiefly responsible. The outcome was a 10 cent cut in the price of pork and 5c to 71kql1oc from other kinds Of product.
