GIANTS ALLEVIATE
EVEN OPTIMISTS

NEW YORK, September 2e.-
The Braves are swiftly but sure
Iy shutting the Giants In with q
ring of mathematical certainty.
By taking both ends Of a double
header yesterday the Bostons in
creased their lead to seven and u
half full games. The men of
Stallings do not even need to win
half their games from now ON to
clnch the pennant.
If the Braves can take six out
Of thirteen games the Giants can
not win the pennant even by
making a clean sweep of the
thirteen contests which remain
on their schedule.
If the Braves are going to drop
every game the Giants will still
be obliged to play at the fast
pace Of eight victories and five
defeats in order to triumph. One
victory for the Braves will make
1t necessary for the Giants to
take nine out Of thirteen.

Prospects at Gallaudet for a good
foot ball team received a big boost
yesterday when Kelley. star halfback
of last year, returned and reported for
practice. The presence of Kelley ir-
creases the chances of q successful
backfeld. he having been one of the
most capable in the south last season.
Whether or not Classen. the only other
missing back, Will return is not known
If he should drop in unannounced, as
did Kelley, the fortunes of the Kendall
Greeners would soar considerably, and
they appear to be pretty high now.

Neither of the two teams is apt to lose
easily, as is generally the case when

Fordham always has had a scrappy
eleven. and everybody familiar with
athletics at Georgetown knows that
the Blue and Gray aggregation is
never easily defeated.
1t is hard to tell what kind of a team
Fordham has. Some of it's players are
we'll enough known as real stars. but
whether or not the remainder of the
players come up to their standard is
a question. If Fordham has eleven

Cotton Surplus of Four Million Bales

From the American Review OF Reviews.
There is no doubt that American con-
sumption will be increased this year.
1t may reach 100000 bales. That
would test the capacity of the mills.
There is no doubt Spain and Italy will
increase their takings, but their limits
of textile expansion are not large.
Japan is buying in larger volume than
formerly. but cannot use much more
than half million bales of our cotton.
England is buying sparingly. 1t is not
believed that English consumption will
exceed two-thirds of last seasons TAX
ings What Belgium and Holland viii
take is guesswork. The same applies
to Germany and Austria. If the pres
ent embargo on their ports is not lifted.
their importations must be negligible.
Russia is making arrangements to get
some of our cotton. France expected to
take half a million bales. Everything de-
ponds on the war developments. Peace
negotiations by Christmas would create
a decided demand. but the consensus OF
opinion is that if the war continues I'M
til next summer or longer there will be
a surplus of 100000 bales.
