AUTO-POLO GAME
FOR WILMINGTON

Auto-Pool is great game with
curves A new diversion for the dare
devil auto drivers that makes the
red, black or blue demons blink with
envy. Il Is a speed craze, football,
bulltighung, looping-the-loop and all
other topsy-turvy, rough and tumble
horse play rolled into one Riding
bucldng bronchos. cup racing, speed
contests are child's play compared to
these reckless hazard hunters. All
the harum-scarum scorchers, record
breakers and hairpin curves are COM
pletely put in the shade by the rapid
fhehts, bounds, whtrls, turn-overs
and bclt eashes al hor ncing balls and

and be'ching FIRE and snl IKE at every

Auto-PolO is p'ayec by two str ppcd
chassis, with two men at each ma
chine; Raltz King and Blondy Ster
ling at the wheels and Clyde Feriiter
and Bud Jackson as the mallet men
The machines are surmounted with
steel hoops to protect the men and
the mechanism in case of upset. The
mallets used are short handled, heavy
instruments. and the ball. which is
nearly as light as the regulation foot
ball is made of leather. The game is
played in periods of FIVE minutes each
with an intermission between the
periods to right the machines If nee
essary At the beginning the con-
testants take their positions with
their autos at each end of the arena
and the ball is placed in the center.
At a given word or signal the reck-
less, chaufteurs turn on all power
and the machines bounce forward
belching fire and smoke like a bat
terry of gatling guns, literally shoot
ing the car towards the ball with the
mallet men standing on the guard
rail, supporting themselves with one
hand and the mallet in the other Both
cars eager to first reach the ball they
look for a moment as if they we're
bound to collide. head on, which they
frequently do unless the skilled driv-
ers gauge the distance so nicely that
the cars pass each other by a hair
breadth escape. so that the expert
mallet men may strike the ball with
unerring aim, driving It in one di-
rection or the other Then the fun
and excitement commences.
Whirling their machines In all
sorts of intricate curves and with re-
markable speed, they rush down
upon the ball in an attempt TO force
IL to the goal. Oftentlmes in an ef-
fort to make a quick turn the automo-
biles go tumbling over carrying the
driver and mallet men under or hurl-
ing them TO the extreme distance
Frequently turning on two wheels at
top speed and with a dash that
would make a Vanderbilt cup race
look like a standstill the game is a
thriller Collisions, upsets. ground
and lofty tumbling have no terrors
for the men who participate.
Raltz King. the inventor OF this
sensational sport, and undoubtedly
the most daring chauffeur that ever
put his hand TO the wheel. accom-
panied by his colleagues. will give an
exhibition of daredevil driving and

COTTON MARKET HAS
SAGG|NG TENDENCY
RecOveries From Decline
Due to Releasing Opera
tiOns on Short Side

New Orleans. November 19.-The cot
ton market was dull today and prices
sagged, although there We're periods
of steadiness Bull support was lack
ing most of the time, however, and
recoveries from the decline We're due
chiefly to releasing operations on the
short side. 1t was small market
and most of the trading was for pro-
fessional account.
The opening was steady at decline
of TO points on poor cables. Con-
tinued favorable weather over the cot
ton belt also added to the selling
Freer offerings of spots and reports
that factors were renting additional
space for the display OF samples
helped the bear side not a little in
the early tradir 6. The decline was
widened to to 8 points before the
middle of the morning. Shorts took
profits and at noon prices were only
to 8 points down. In the afternoon
selling increased again and the mar
ket weakened under it. The close was
barely steady at practically the low
est of the session, a loss of to 10
points from /the level of yesterdays s

ARGENTINE OWNERS
HOLD ABOVE PARITY
News Has Strong Influence
in Net Gain of 3-4c
in Wheat

Chicago, November 19.-Advices that
Argentine owners of wheat are holding it
above parity was a strong influence today
in a net gain of sc to 9sd24c made here,
prospects of small corn shipments from
Argentine also helping to give the grain
a net rise of &c to 9s0lsc at the end of the
session. Local selling sent oats off a
shade. Aggressive bull leadership sent
provisions up 1oc to 121kdS5c
Besides the Argentine situation, wheat
was helped by realizing of operators that
the market had been largely oversold.
This caused some influential purchasing.
The hardening of prices was further aid
ed by reports of fair export trade and by
reiteration of recent talk that Europe
would for some time be a buyer of Amer
lean wheat.
Smallness of Russian and Manitoba of
ferings and less favorable weather in the
Canadian northwest added to bull senti-
ment. There was some talk of Hessian
fly injury in Missouri and southern In
diana, but apparently this was not re-
garded seriously by the trade at large,
some experts discounting the gossip by
assertions that such talk is not unusual at
this season. Strength in cash corn mar
kets southwest, joined with predictions of
reduced Argentine shipments to give
firmness to Chicago prices. Bad weather
in the domestic belt and an advance
in Danuban prices also counted for the
bullishness.
Oats were kept down through almost the
entire session. Stock yard houses We're
large buyers of provisions in addition to
an active campaign on the part of the
traders Bull sentiment ruled from the
start on strong prices at the yards.

COTTON RATHER
EASY IN FINAL HOUR
November Contracts Close
at Normal Advance of
16 Points

New York November 19.-rhe cotton
market was quiet enough today to sug-
gest that scattering accounts had been
pretty well evened up for over the meet
ing of the New York revision committee
tonight or the publication of the census
report at the opening of Friday morning.
Fluctuations were irregular, but the mar
ket seemed to be rather easy in the late
trading, owing to rumors that no very
great change would be made in the penal
ties against low grade deliveries on local
contracts. The close was barely steady
at a net decline of to L points on the
general list November contracts, which
We're not traded in during the day, closed
at nominal advance of 16 points, or only
I points under December, comparing with
a discount of 80 points at the close of yes
terday.
Late gossip forecast an increase of
about % points in the penalty on low
middling, making it 100 points under mid
ding. Some of the local traders seemed
to consider that such a revision had been
discounted by the December premium and
they claimed that the price of November
had been sufficiently high to bring some
cotton here from the south for delivery
during the first half of the month.
Early fluctuations seemed largely due
to confusion over the average of the esti-
mates of members of the Memphis cotton
exchange. At first the estimate of Ia, 4S,o2
bales was taken here as excluding linters,
and after opening at unchanged prices TO
decline of l point active months sold
about 6 to points net lower. 1t was
soon learned, however, that the estimate
was intended to represent the commercial
crop, which would include both linters
and repacks. making the figures seem
more favorable to prices and the market
rallied to about the closing level OF last
night. Trading then became very quiet,
with prices easing off late In the day un-
der December liquidation and scattering
selling.
