NEW YORK, Oct 29.-Joseph
Egan. better known as the Kid. who
once was manager of James j. JEFF
fries, got verdict of $l3,500 in the
supreme court yesterday from a jury
before Justice Weeks in a suit for
500, 900 against a magazine. The suit
was based on statements in an article
by Richard Barry, alleging that when
the receipts of the .Ieffries- Fitzsim-
mons fight at San Francisco in 1902
were divided Egan tried to walk
away with more than his share.
The chief witnesses for Egan were
Jeffries and Fitzsimmons, who toured
the country under his management
after the fight Jeffries, whose tes-
timony was taken on the coast by
commission, denied that any money
was missing when 1t was counted up,
or that any one called Egan q thief at
the time. When asked if Fred Belasco,
one of the promoters of the fight.
hadn't told Egan he was q thief. JEFF
fries said:
mo, sir. If BeIasco ever called
Egan a thief Little Irish would have
eaten him up. He would tear his head
off him. He is not n big fellow. bu,
Is wonderful little boy"
The principal witness for the de-
Tense was Samuel Thall, one of the
fight promoters, who testified that he
detected Egan taking more than he
was entitled to. and insisted that the
money be counted aEain.-When- IT was
found that Egan had over s100 toe
much. He said he accused Egan OF
doing 1t Intentionally and Egan as.
saulted him for 1t year ago.

YALE LACKS PUNCH AND TIGERS
HAVE NO PUNTER
OR LINE.

NEW YORK. Oct. 29--Yale lacks
the final punch, Princeton lacks the
line and has no big league" kicker.
while Harvard has plenty Of every
thing. What's the answer? Simple
problem in mathematics,
1t looks as If "oJhnny" Harvard Is
going to dine and wine himself to the
limit, ana the others can have what's
left, namely, they can have what they
take from among themselves.
Yale has not yet been defeated. 1t
is true, but the University of Maine
and Washington and Jefferson proved
conclusively just where the. Ellis are
most wanting--in the final drive.
In either of these two games If
Yale had possessed the last telling
punch it would have won. The
Dartmouth game might
have resulted differently II the Tiger
line had shown to better advantage.
Against Syracuse 1t seemed as If
the Tigers had a well balanced line.
This was disproved in last Satur-
days game when the lighter green
forwards broke through continually,
smothering plays before they were
fairly started, and they should have
blocked more kicks than they did,
Princeton has made the same mis-
take that it has made before. 1t has
tried to build a team around one or
two individual stars. The present
orange and black combination had
Brad" STREET. and HOBBY Baker for
nucleus. The rest of the machinery
has been built around these two. If
they are stopped there is nothing to
the attacking power of the Tigers.

Mack Admits He
Erred in Refusing
to Purchase Maisel

NEW YORK, Oct 29,--Connie Mack
now admits that he erred when he
allowed the New Yorks to take Third
baseman Maisel away from the Balti-

that II he'd had nabbed Maisel he could
have put him on third base, with Frank
Baker shifted to the outfeld. move
that would have made the Athletics In
vtncible for several years TO come
Mack lost Maisel because he adhered
to his policy not to pay big money
for men or league players releases.
When he learned that Chance was
ready TO pay $4,000 for Maisel he
notified Jack Dunn to sell. Since then
the Athletics manager has stated that
Maisel is worth all that the New Yorks
paid for him If only as a drawing card,

Continued Improvement in Crop
Prospects Is Offset by Steady
Foreign Mills Absorption.

NEW ORLEANS, June 7.-BearisE
speculation In the cotton market re-
ceived a decided setback Monday
when the Government Bureau report
placing the average condition of this
crop on May rs at 79.1. was issued
The trade here had been expecting
around SO. while certain of the bear
element had been counting on a
showing of "a or better. The actual
figures, 8 below the ten-year average
of May rs, were so far below general
expectations that ring traders in this
market were stunned for a moment.
When they recovered from their
surprise, and started to buy back
some of the cotton they had been
gayly selling before the report was is
sued. they had to bid the market up
16 points OF more before they could
get under cover. Had ii not been for
the fact that the few remaining bulls
in the market realized that a distinct
Improvement has taken place in the
condition of the crop since the date of
the bureau, and were willing to sell
on a moderate advance, the shorts
very tight position
In studying the figures on condi-
ton put forth by the Government Blu
reau, II is found that the low average
was caused almost entirely by the
low conditions reported as prevailing
in the Atlantics May 20. The Georgia
condition of SO, as compared with "a
last year, came in for much criticism
at the hands OF the talent II being
contended that the Georgia crop was
no worse off than the Alabama crop
before the rains came May 24-26, but
the Government Bureau placed the
average condition of the Alabama
crop at 6 points better than that of
Georgia. Last year the crop in the
Atlantics got a bad start, but the
bureau placed the average condition
at "A for both States.
Since the bureau report the crop
has made rapid improvement in all
sections of the belt. The weather has
been warm and dry, enabling the re-
planted cotton to come up TO good
stand, and aiding the farmers to catch
up with the cultivation of the crops.
Rain is now beginning 20 be needed

and South Carolina, and should rains

MEMPHIS. June 7.-Attention OF
the cotton trade for the past few days
has been turned to the Governments
first crop condition report and the
improvement since the date to which
that document was compiled. The
first came Monday morning and was
bomb in the camp OF the spectators
who were bearish and who had been
calmly waiting for the report before
selling the market. It's figures were
several points under expectations, for
ideas had been formulated from the
numerous private reports issued dur
ing the previous week, the average OF
which was near IS per cent Of q nor
NAL or perfect crop. Most of the cot
ton world looked for the official re-
port to be close to that, and when II
was flashed 1911, or two-tenths OF a
point better than the official condition
for the same date year ago, surprise
was general. II was 8 under the ten
year average and was admittedly
buuish when measured against other
records.
General Tone Improves
The result of the situation was that
the market did not change much, but
an improvement in tone has been wit
messed and there has been less dis
position to increase the short interest
Foreign spinning and trade interests
have been absorbing contracts and
the spot department OF the market has
not displayed the weakness that some
predicted would follow the improved
outlook for the new crop and the con-
tinued depression that pervades a

Consumers are not buying. Il is be-
