MARKET CLIMBS AND
 THEN TUMBLES BACA
Court Decision Offsets Early Gain.-ClOse at 1-3 Points LOwer.-Liverpool Rather a Heavy Seller Here.

New York, Oct. 13.-There were violent fluctuations in the cotton mar llet here today, an early advance of about $1.50 per bale being lost. fol- lowing reports that the United States district court had declaved the cotton futures law unconstitutional. Janu- ary contracts sold off from 13.08c to 12T7c, closing at 12.78c, with the gen eral list barely steady, net 1 points lower to points higher, as compared with Mondays final figures. The market opened firm at an advance of 17 to 25 point during the early trad ig sold 29 to 30 points net higher on continuation of Mondays buying movement. Frmness in Liverpool over the local holiday and bullsh crop advices from the South were the fac tors on this advance, which carried the active months back to within 10 or 12 points of the seasons high rec ords, The impression appeared to be that the cold weather of Sunday and Monday in the northern half of the belt had practically eliminated the possibility of a top crop, while the rainfall shown on todays map in- creased the tendency to scale down estimates of the yield Around l2.90c for December and i3.20c for March offerings increased. however, and the market soon became slightly easier.
 Liverpool was rather a heavy seller here on the narrowed differences, while there was a good deal of realiz ing by buyers of last week and there was a more general spurt of liquida tion right after the market received reports of the courts decision in the Lever act case. This seemed to un- settle sentiment and increase the dis position to even up commitments and the market lost practically all of it's early improvement during the after noon. Trading then became less ac- tive and the selling tapered off, fol- lowing statements that the court de- cision even if sustained would not af- feet the status of New York contracts for year in any event and rallies of to 10 points followed the break to 12.G0c for December and 13.olc for March contracts.

 Judge Patterson was emphatic on three points in his charge. They were: That the crime should pc thoroughly investigated, that this was not spe- cial grand jury as had been reported and that the jurors are not secret service men" compelled to ''do detec- tive work to perform their dutles.''

ANOTHER IMPORTANT CHANCE
 ORDER BY MANAGER LAWSON

mucn longer, ana LnereDy HdHSS tale as follows:
 I was chatting with MT. Baldwin and MT. Priest one day during ''the late unpleasantness," when the qnes- tion of needed equipment was being discussed. MT. Priest said among other things, that at least 25 new cars were needed.
 ''How many cars have you on the Gila side?" butted in.
 "One 130,00O-ths. engine and 20 cars," replied the then acting project manager
 "What's that?" said MT. Baldwin, in surprise.
 MT. Priest repeated the information.
 Colonel I think you started some thing" said MT. Baldwin. How did you get them across the river?" he asked, addressing MT. Priest.
 Built a temporary track, was the reply.
 At what cost?" asked Mr. Baldwin
 About $1 200 or $1,5OQ" replied MT Priest.
 And you want how many new cars?" asked MT. Baldwin.
 Not less than 25, which will cost about $6,OOO or $7,OOO," replied MT. Priest.
 How much will it cost to get those cars back to the Bard side of the river?" asked Mr Baldwin.
 About the same that it cost to put them on the Gila side"
 Better get busy, then, and take them back You then won't need quite so many new cars" said MT. Baldwin, giving me knowing wink.
 And now what's going to happen?
 Manager Lawson issued an order today that Laguna dam must be clear ed of all driftwood by Sept. 15 so that a temporary railroad track can be laid in order to bring all those cars DdCh LO Wu0l0 they Cdn UO SOIuS SOOu, and at the same time take the small cars to the Gila side where they will answer the same purpose that the big ones are used for.
 This will make a saving of several thousand dollars, and will do away with the necessity of renting cars from Los Angeles when we already have cars of our own.
 I am really glad that I started something" as said by MT. Baldwin, and doubly glad that Manager Law son has acted upon the suggestion so quickly.
 Next Monday, Mr. Lawson will ad- derss the Board of Governors of the Water Users Association. Every farmer in the valley who can spare the time should be present. Go, hear and talk with your new project mana ger He wants to meet all of you and learn your wants.

AA0OAh V" SA 0Ot more, a temporary railroad track was laid across Laguna dam and one 13O-0O0-tb. steam engine and 20 standard guage Reclamation dump cars" used for hauling dirt and rock, were taken from the Bard side of the river to the Gila valley side, ostensi- ply for the purpose of build ing a rock revetment to pre- vent further caving of the bank on that side of the river.
 It was necessary that the work be done, and nobody has complained of the way the work was done, for under the personal supervision of Superintendent of Construc- tion Priest, it seems to have been well done.
 But the cars were left over there!
 The same kind of work had to be done on the Bard side of the river and on the levee from Yuma all the way to the Mexican line. In order to do this latter work, cars had to be rented from a Los Angeles contractor, the same string of cars that citizens of Yuma have seen hundreds of times carrying 'pulverized lime stone dust" to the crumbling leveeS.
 In the meantime a whole string of small cars that are not permitted to operate on regular railroads, were side tracked" near Laguna dam and there left to the tender mercy of the elements and arrow weedsl
 They could have been transferred to the Gila side and operated there with i'm punity, for the U. s. R. s. has it's own tracks on that side, and, after the rush work was completed by the stan dard guage" cars, they could have been brought back tc the Bard side and made to dc the service for which the rented" cars were used but
 The temporary track was pulled up!
 That left the 130,000-ios. steam en zine, the 20 standard guage cars anC all other equipment, high and dry, o1 the Gila side of the dam, Laguna They are there now, but won't be yer!

LUDERUS OLD TYPE OF PLAYER.

Luderus 10 more like the old type OF
first baseman than any man now IN the
game. He Is a big, heavy, hat-footeo
ball player, slow, and a bit awkward in
his movements, and only fair nrst
baseman. His chief defensive strength
lies in the fact that he Is solid and
steady, and that he makes an excellent
mark for the other inhelders to thro"
at. He is a plodding. earnest WORKER,
cool under all circumstances, ana just
about as good a player. mechanically.
in q worlds series as he would be IN an
exhibition game. Luderus has been a
normal .2S5 hitter ever since he broke
his slowness. He is terrific driver, ana
the fact that he plays on the Philadel-
phia grounds adds perhaps 10 points 10
his percentage, because he hlts haro 70 70

long hits are over or against the right
field stone wall. :,
Batting against Hooper and Speaker
will cut down his chance on the long
Boston field, but the short wall at Phila-
delphia will help him and handicap
them.
This season Luderus is rappinE the
onion to the tune Of t., about SH,t.G $40; o. ana tha
fact that the pitching in the National
League has been worse this season than
it has been in a long time.
To see how he is likely to bat against

ter, I looked over his batting against
ten National League pitchers. who are
similar to them in style. Against
these ten (Which included Toney. OF
Cincinnati, Ragan and Nehf. of Bos.

that his average against these ten was

The Indication is that Luderus Is not

the bare averages.
Neither Hobby nor Luderus has been

American League pitchers. including

batting average must also be reduced
considerably when he faces Alexander.
Chalmers, and Rixey. who will beyond
doubt carry the burden for Moran.

Georgetown University, through
Graduate Manager of Athletics
Charles r. Cox, has come forward
with an offer Of the use Of the Hill
top Field for the high school cham
pionship games this year.
At a meeting Of the executive
board Of Georgetown held recently
Cox put the matter up and was told
that the university wanted to help
athletics in every way and would be
glad to have the high schools use
the field twice weekly for the ten
championship battles.
The high school advisers will meet at
Central High School today and will
arrange details OF the series. George
towns kindness in offering the use of
the field Will be more than ever appreci-
ated this year. The high schools were
at loss to know where to turn this year.
The Washington Playground Associa-
tion helped out last year in allowing
the schools to use the Fifteenth and II
street park In the northeast.
No better playing field could be OBJ
tanned than that at Georgetown. Ap-
pointments are Of the best and every
facility will be extended to make the
games a complete success.
