bons may finally decide today where
they will stage~their impending quar-
rel. They are in session at the Hotel
Morrison, examining the various bids.
Seven clubs have made offers rang
ing from 70 to 80 per cent of the gate
receipts. Billy Gibson, the New York
promoter, has offered fiat guaranty
of $4,000, and the scrappers can
have the alternative of 80 per cent of
the total receipts.
From the way the cIubowners are
scrambling for the bout, interest in it
must be high all over the country.
New York will probably get the mill,
as bigger crowds can be expected
there than in Milwaukee. Weight of
145 pounds at 8 o'clock has already
been agreed on, so there should be
little squabbling before final papers
are signed.
Five Chicago and Gary Wrestlers
won in the semi-fnal round of the
national amateur wrestling tourna-
ment at San Francisco, an equal
number failing in their efforts to flop
opponents. Those who qualified
were: S. Worries, Greek-American A.

ben, Hebrew Institute, Chicago, 1853

rests above eighth place when the
National league season closes next
October the veteran pilot will either
have performed managerial miracle
or there will be another team in the
circuit weaker than anything the old
est major has shown over a stretch
of months for several years.
Clarke's team as at present con.
stituted is impossible. 1T has fair
strength behind the bat, but nothing
much in the box. Johnston at first
base was cast off by Cleveland after
two seasons of effort and he doesn't
look any better now than he did then.
Mccarthy has had several trials at
second base. He is dandy fielder,
but like Gerber, the shortsttop, also
a sensational defensive man, he can't
bat. Jimmy Viox at third base is head
and shoulders above the other inner
wall men. AS whole the infield will
surprise itself if it bats above .230.
Hinchman, Lejeune and Carey make
up a fair. outfeld. Carey is fast,
Hinchman will hit and play well on
defense, but is slow. Lejeune is a big
question mark.
In the standing of the clubs this
morning the Cubs should have four
games won and one lost. st. Louis
took the second game legitimately.
But better could not be hoped for
when the opposition is slipped 20
bases on balls in five battles. Inter-
spersed with the numerous brass
rings were five wild pitches and every
one of them was costly.
In all this medley twirling Jim
Vaughn has upset the popular belief
about the wildness of southpaws.
Jim has had better control than any
of the other four-Cheney, Lavender,
label and Standdridge - who have
worked. Lavender was better than
usual, but the other three were as
wild as some war correspondents

Though not unmindful Of the fact
that the cotton market is always more
or less inclined to be bullish just at
the opening Of the planting season,
we think there Is good a for feel
ing thai the outlook for cotton is bet
ter than it has been at any time since
last August. The feeling then was
that with European consumption gone
to pieces, there would be but small de-
mand for cotton, and as a rule calcu-
lations went little beyond that. Since
then, however, there has come a bet
ter realization of the real trouble,
which has been more financial than
otherwise. Cotton consumption dur
ing the war has been greater than
anybody seemed to foresee was posi-
BILE. and America has demonstrated
that she is much stronger financially
than even the most astute OF the
banking experts seemed to anticipate.
When cotton went to six cents the
price rested on practically nothing;
but now that this price is up to eight
and above, there are evidences Of a
very solid foundation, and there Is
every reason to believe that the ten
dency is upward rather than down.
ward. AS to what next falls prices
will be will depend very largely upon
what the planters do this summer,
and most Of them seem to be getting
it into their heads that they will get
more money out Of a small crop
cheaply raised, than they will out OF
a large crop raised no matter how.

About Advertising.

1t Is very rarely that The Enquirer
ever has anything to say hat can
fairly be construed as an effort to So
licit advertising: but about the only
reason we can offer for not giving
more prominence to this subject Is q
reor that so many readers may take us
up wrongly in assuming that we are
more interested in our own affairs
han we are in them.
From the standpoint Of that portion
of the public which has never made a
special study of advertising and which
has 4 very vague conception of the un-
DERIVING principles thereof, this as
sumption is natural enough, but that
it incorrect. We believe that every
individual or firm that has ever done
business with us will give us the bene-
t of favorable testimony. The En-
uuirer has never solicited advertising
from anybody under any circumstan-
ces. and for good and sufficient rea-
sons, it never expects to; but in saying
this il does not want to be understood
as suggesting that it thinks there is
anything improper, wrong, unbusi-
ness-like or degrading in such solicit
tation: or hat we have any less re-
spect for those who do solicit.
The main reason hat we do not So
licit advertising is because of knowl-
edge of the fact that We have a large
and intelligent subscription list, made
up of people who take the paper be-
