Matty in the shoulder and rolled 10
left field had a bearing--but then those
things make baseball.
Here's one thing | don't want to
forget Not bad play was pulled in
the whole game, except, perhaps. when
Doyle took a chance when he made
wild throw TO get Barry at first, in the
ninth inning, after Matty had knocked
down a high bounder. That almost
was fatal. OF course, there were three
OF four errors, but when l speak Of bad
play refer more to poor headwork.
You see, there was no real inside
baseball that could be detected from
the stands, although some OF it. of
course, must have been there. 1t was
Just fast. snappy baseball, and let me
say / can't remember seeing a better
game.
Played the Game Safely.
Neither team took any big chances,
and neither played the hit and run.
That's the trouble with worlds series
games. AS a rule. it is necessary TO
play too safe to bring out the finer
points Of inside baseball ! don't see
how either manager could have done
one thing more to help along. McGraW
took advantage Of every opening, hrst
by putting Wiltse in to run for Snod-
grass. with a chance to score In the
third inning, and by sacrificing Mclean
in the tenth for a faster man on the
bases. He acted little worried before
the game. and he had reason, too. with
Merkle and Snodgrass limping around
and Meyers splitting his hand while
warming up but that victory must nave
gone a long way toward cheering
him UP.
Say. when the game opened ] felt
as II I'd like to go down there ana
help Mac out at first base. Not that
I could have played 1t any better than
wiltse did to-day. but II seemed tough
IN see him in what looked like a bad
hole. Fred Merkle is a rugged fellow
and will play till he drops THINK
You'll find him back in the game by
Friday. and / hope so, too. for while
Wiltse played the part like veteran
to-day, the Giants need their fuii
strength to head of these Athletics.
"If YOU remember, called attention
during the game to Matty's warning
Wiltse to play deeper and take every
thing he could after two or three Inn
,ngs. It worked WELL too. for II he had
played in where he was at first two hits
would have got away, and maybe
run scored It's bad to have to break
up an infield in a worlds series
At this point 1t was suggested that
little had been said about the game
and 70 this Daubert replied:
"Oh. your regular baseball writer's
will tend TO all that. There was 80
little Of what you might call inside base
ball that from a ball players eyes II
was a game Of players rather imam
plays. Il seems almost that wouid
ike to pat every man on the pacK,
there was so much to praise ana SO
little TO criticise.

MARKET CLOSES

Cotton Develops Strength
After Some Early
Irregularity

New York, March 2s.-After some early
rregularity the cotton market developed
considerable strength today and closed
firm at a net advance of to IA points.
The opening was steady at an advance
of / to points and prices worked up after
the call in response to relatively firm
cables continued flood approximations and
foreign buying orders The weather map,
however, showed generally clear eondi-
tions in the south this morning, and with
the forecast indicating continued clear
weather tomorrow there was plenty of
cotton for sale on the advance. Southern
wires, while still working rather poorly,
brought quite a good many selling orders
from Memphis and New orleans, while
the circulation of a few March notices
caused scme liquidation of that position.
The market eased off 10 net loss OF
about points on the near month IN con-
sequence, while later positions sold back
to practically the closing figures of yes
terday, but on the decline the market met
support from trade sources, while there
also, appeared to be some fresh buying on
reports that the Balkan allies had made
peace terms with Turkey.
After the March notices had been
stopped that position advanced rapidly on
covering by belated shorts and rumors
that leading trade interests were taking
much prices were followed by quite a
furry of covering in the last hour. Clos
ing prices were at practically the best of
the day. although the week end figures

Weekly Cotton Market

New York March 2S-The cotton mar
ket has been more active and prices
have advanced owing to the continued
weather in the belt, and improved Euro
pean political outlook, and apprehensions
of serious floods again this year in the
Mississippi. Demand has not become
general, nor does there appear to have
been much change in the general SEN
timent as to the ultimate course of
prices, but talk of delayed new crop
start evidently rendered recent sellers
for short account more or less nervous
and in addition to continued buying
against sales and against relatively higher
prices in Liverpool there has doubtless
been considerable covering. In many
quarters, however. a feeling prevails that
there is still plenty of time to do neces-
sary farm work in the south, while local
bears are also inclined TO argue that
the disaster in the middle west may
exercise such an unfavorable effect on
general business as to fully Offset what
ever setback has been suffered by the
new crop start.
view is gaining ground as to the sta
tistical position during the end of the
season on account of the light weekly
spinners' takings. There Is, on the other
hand, but little apparent disposition to
scale down estimates of the season s
actual mill consumption, and bulish
traders contend that the inability of
planters to make progress during March
will serve to intensity the probable bull
ish influence of adverse weather condi-
tions, should they develop during April
and May.
| Meanwhile southern spot markets, while
| quiet, have held generally steady and
| local statisticians claim that a compari-
son of recent spinners takings with esti-
mated weekly requirements, indicates
that the worlds mills are already draw
