 Both Chicago clubs are still leading in the majors and if this continues past the Fourth of July it means practically that the White Sox and Cubs Will again stase a worlds championship in the Windy City. But, the Giants who are way oown in the percentage column are unwilling to concede the superiority of the Cups and one of the hottest fights ever Wit messed in the National league is on the cards for the summer,

IL will be remembered that the last tme Black faced the Crackers the barohs went hitess for nine innings. but won In the tenth on a hit by 'Jeems Masee. Let's us hope the portsiders luck is stii with him.
 The Barons are now home for stay of 9s days and it is up to the fans 10 turn out and encourage the boys. over score of home games means whole lot to a fighting aggregation such as the present Barons and with the sympathy and loyalty of an enthusiastic home crowd the boys will clean up.

New Orleans, June 2S.-(SpeciaI, } Dick Robertson's very fine pitching and the Pelicans' very faulty fielding made Birmingham's victory this aft ernoon one of the softest the Barons have scored in a long time. It is very seldom the PeIs are defeated as easii, md as decisiyely as they were today, The team that Is leading in games won in batting and fielding usually makes the most stubborn resistance, but on this occasion Robertson made the tropical birds eat out of his hands, and the local infieId, notably Tom Reilly, had n day off.
 Reilly's error gave the Barons their first run in the first inning. Carroll walked, stold second and crossed the plate when Parson Tom booted Coombs' grounder.
 Carroll scored again in the third landing on another error by Reilly, go- ing to third on Magees single and completing the journey on Coombs' sacrifice fly.
 "SSN SNOiSo III 'hc siA'h oii Wdif> and hits by Coombs and Sloan In the eighth Carroll and Magee singled. Both advanced on fly by Coombs and Sloan's single scored Carroll.
 So, even if the Barons did have very rough sledding, they got some little satisfaction out of the series. We can Say this much for them-that New or leans considers the Barons the team that the Pels must beat if the pennant is to wave over Heinemann park after this season.

CORNELL LEADING
 AT HALFWAY MARK

At the three mile point Cornell was first by three quarters of length over Syracuse, a shell length ahead of Stan- fcrd with Pennsylvania and Columbia fighting to keep out of last place.
 Syracuse then made it's bid for vlc- tory. Little by little the Orange shell swept up on the Ithaca crew but stan ford was not to be shaken off and. rowing stroke for stroke with the up- state crews, swept down the last milo of the course. Half mile from the finish Cornell's lead had been cut to half a length by Syracuse. hut the Californians were going faster than either of their rivals.
 At this point all three crews were going at a pace ranging from 32 to S3, but Stanford with it's extraordinary strength was getting the greater speed out of it's stroke. although the she'll dld not run as smoothly. The strain was too terrific for Ten Eycks pupils and the Orange craft drifted back and left the Cardinal to Tight it out with Cornell Stanford now set out to over take Courtney's crew, now leading by less than length.
 The Ithaca and California oarsmcn Il rev form to the winds and the last stretches of the course saw two sets of eight sweep swingers hauling des- perately on their blades while the slid- ing seats shot back and forth at the rate of S3 to the minute. Inch by Inch the prov of the western craft moved up until 1t passed the waist of the Cor Tell shell When the cannon boomed on the judges boat the westerners were a bare eight feet short of a vic- tory that would have upset all rowing traditions in the United states. Syracuse was safe in third place, but lost in the wake of the leaders. Co., lumbla won from Pennsylvania by n length and half, while Syracuse led the Blue and White by almost three lengths. The official time for each crew for the full four miles was caught as follows
 Cornell 2O:26 s-5, Stanford 20;s7 4-5, syracuse 2o:43 3-5, Columbia 21, Penn sylvania 21:10 1-5.

COTTON PROFITS IN EGYPT

Notwithstanding antiquated methods

American producers. This is partly
because of cheap labor and partly be-
cause the lack of rain during the bar.

age In 1915 will not be SO large as last

what ! say. 1t will not be reduced more
than Is per cent. And 1t should not
be. The cotton acreage does not fix
the production by any means. A re-
duced acreage might mean big crop,
and big acreage small crop. There
are SO many varied conditions, depen-
dent upon climate. the boil weevil and
other things, that 1t Is impossible to
determine how much cotton any sec
ton will make until few weeks be-
fore picking.
1T is utter folly for persons In off.
cial life. or in business, to tell the cot
ton planter how much land he shall
devote to cotton or what crops he
shall plant. Diversification of farming
is all right; it's an excellent thing,
but the man who has worked his 50
acres for generation. raised a big
family and learned his land, is GER
tainly better able to tell what he ought
to do with that land than a man in
Washington or New York, who never
saw 1t. The farmer might as well tell
the banker how to run the latters af.

year II weather conditions are favor.
able. and II We get big crop, 1t is not
goisg to hurt much. The bulk OF last
years crop is out OF the farmers
hands. Perhaps IL per cent remains
unsold. OF course, all of this has not
been sent to the mills or exported but
the grower has disposed OF 1t. The
crop averaged the Texas planter about
TX cents pound. which is not good
price. as everybody knows.
THE Southwest, however, is show.

Is due probably to the sale OF the cot
