BY The United Press.

BY The United Press.
ELGIN, H.. Aug. 3O.-Joe Dawson,
in a Marmon. Ralph DePalma in a
Mercer and Eddie Grant in an. Isotta,
we're the fayorites picked by the in
coming hosts today as probably lead
ers in the big event of the Elgin
race meet--the 301-mile race for
the coveted Elgin National Trophy.
DePalma, winner of yesterdays
race, and Dawson, who finished
second, we're out early today tuning
up their entries. They complained
that the rough course made the long
grind a torture and both asserted
that with the track cut into ruts in
yesterdays race. it would be folly
to predict that the bigger cars en-
tered today would make better time.
Fair weather greeted the racers
again today and before the first
warning bomb was fred at 10 o'clock.
it was evident that the crowd would
exceed by several thousand the
throng that saw yesterdays race.

TRAP SHOOTTNG RIG SPORT.

hAA NAAUU 7 ANN DAU oIWhls
Al the first glance it would seem
that there is little relation between
baseball and trap shooting. but il is a
fact that the baseball fans Of the spring
and summer is fast becoming the
gun bug" of the fall and winter. A
possible explanation of this is because
trap shooting is the favorite pastime
of many of the idols of the bleachers.
II is a question whether there is a
single club of the big leagues or. for
that matter, any league which does
not number among its players expert
trap artists.
A thing to be noted is that while
baseball, at its best is a professional
game. trap shooting is an amateur
sport. Another point is that baseball
is supported by the spectators. while
trap shooting is financed by the play
ers."
Notable instances of the increasing
interest in trap shooting were the
presence of more than ten thousand
persons at the grand American handi-
cap, held in Dayton, O., and some
thing like six thousand spectators on
the big day of the eastern handicap
here.

VICE PRESIDENT IS
GUEST OF HONOR

Lewisburg w. Va, May 4.-Vice Presi-
dent Marshall and Mrs. Marshall, with
Senator Chiffon Of West Virginia were
the guests of honor here today at the
celebration of the seventy-fifth anniver-
sary of the formation of the Greenbrier
Prosbytery and the one hundredth ami
versary of the founding of the Lewisburg
Female college.
Lewisburg, located in the Bluegrass re-
gion of the Alleghenies, and one of the
Oldest courthouse towns of West Virginia,
extended the vice president a genuine
mountain welcome. Spectators came from
all directions.
Mr.. Marshall spoke on THE Modern
Puritan" in part as follows:
"At all times and places only those men
who are not afraid to act according TO
their convictions can be relied upon to
preserve the country. There are three
classes of citizens, those who respect
law for fear of punishment; those who
obey the law because it Is law, and those
who are true Christians and are automati-
cally law abiding and who would act
rightly with no strong arm of the law to
direct their movements Without Chris
tian&ty America could not live. We are
the melting pot of numerous types of tho
world. Without Christianity to mark
the rule of life our hopes would come to
naught.H

COTTON LIKELY
TO Be UNSETTLED
Powerful Interests Bent on
Running Short Interests
to Cover

New orleans. May 4.-The cotton mar
ket promises to be more or less unsettled
this week. There are signs that certain
powerful interests are bent on running
to cover the short interest that has been
built up during the recent long decline.
Operations looking toward this purpose
are likely to produce nervousness and
illogical fluctuations
The question of acreage will also help
to unettle the situation. This question
has been greatly complicated by recent
private bureau guesses on the area plant
ed and to be planted Up to last week
as a foregone conclusion that the in
crease in acreage would be at least 5
per cent, much smaller estimates have
been put out by bureaus whose estimates
generally receive earnest consideration
with the result that opinions are now
much at variance. Probably estimates
on acreage now run from an increase
of about 26 per cent up to an increase
of or S per cent, although there are
less people than formerly who expect an
increase of over per cent. 1t may
be that informatioRr will be given the
trade this week which will help to crys-
talize opinion, but in the meantime there
will be much uncertainty in this direc-
tion.
Crop news and weather accounts will
of course, be of the greatest Importance
although interest in them will be les
sened by the features mentioned above
What the bears fear now, more than
anything else. is too much rain, which
would prevent work in the fields and re-
suit in foul crops. Bright warm weather
with only occasional rains would work
against the price. Too much rain and
cold nights would cause the short side
much embarrassment and would greatly
aid the operators who are trying to cause
a general covering movement among the
bears.
The political situation In Europe IS
still being closely watched by the cot
ton trade, but it will take important de-
velopments in it to cause anything like
wide price changes.

over Colorado and New Mexico. This
center has Travelled very slowly during
the past two days, but its intensity is NOT
diminished, and it continues to cause a
steady flow of air from the south and
southeast. This Is producing more or

and heavy local rains in Texas, Okla

very little Sunday but as it was still rain
