Cotton Brought 8 IA Cents.

Anderson, Jan. 1O.-Cotton on the mar
ket today sold as high as s-19 cents. The
prevailing price was s-4 cents, but in
several instances the higher price was
paid for the best cotton. It is stated that
cotton buyers here can afford to pay IA
cents for the best grades and ship to Sa-
vannah and other port cities at profit
Good margins, it is said, have existed dur
ing the past few days, and the cotton men
have been benefited thereby, Mr.. Robert
E. Ligon, general manager of the Gluck

buyers to pay the advanced price until a
certain supply is bought. He gave this

Yankees VIII Make Bow a
Polo Grounds, While
Superbas VIII Do
the Honors in
Brooklyn.

Although the baseball season has
been going on for some little time,
there are still spots which are as yet
untouched by openings.
This defect will be remedied this af-
ternoon. when the Yankees will begin
their home season at the Polo Grounds
against Washington, and Brooklyn will
open Ebbets Field against the Giants.
Ebbets Field has been opened a great
many times this year, but the other
openings are mere preliminarles TO the
event of to-day.
Thousands Of fans will flock TO the
Polo Grounds if for no other reason
than to see somebody else but the
Phillies win a game. As a matter of
fact, the Yankees have earned a well
come this year by their excellent play
ing in Philadelphia, where they took
three out of four games from the Atm
letcs.
complete and unobstructed view of
Wild Bill Donovan has been promised,
and there also will be a chance to see
Pipp and High, the new players, who
are counted on to do much in further
ing the first division ambitions of the
Yankees.
Colonel Rupert and Captain Huston,
the new owners, will be on hand, of
course, but in the case of the captain
the public is doomed to Disappointment.
He has positively refused TO wear
high hat even in honor of the Yankees.
Wa, hington will send Walter John
son to the mound. according TO Clark
Griffith, and il looks as if McHale
might be his opponent.
Mayor Mitchell, who has had consid-
cradle practice this season, will throw
out the first ball, but the march across
the diamond will be dispensed with.
There will be band concert, and the
game will begin at $3.50 o'clock.
No frills will be omitted at Ebbets
Field. in Brooklyn. The players will
march across the field and the flag will
be unfurled at $3.50 o'clock. A band
also will play as the fans gather. Play
prope-, if possible, will then begin.
The first ball will be thrown out by
Representative Daniel J. Griffin. Mar
guard will pitch for the Giants and

NEWFEDS HAMMER
SEATON FROM BOX
Magee Uses Whole Regi.
ment of Players in Vain
Effort to Win Game.

Lee Magee, the youngest playing
manager in major league baseball, dis
played to the Newark fans three-quar-
tiers of the playing strength Of the
Brooklyn Tip Tops in an effort to de-
feat the Newfeds in the first game Of
their series at Harrison yesterday, but
the home team won by a score of 3
TO 3.
Cowboy Tom Seaton, the trump card
Of the Tip Tops, was driven from the
mound in the seventh inning, when
triple and two singles led to the scor-
ing of three runs. The Newfeds batted
Seaton hard in the early innings, but
splendid running catches by his out
helders saved him. Marion relieved
the cowboy in the eighth.
The Tip Tops also pounded the Of
ferings of Charley Whitehouse, but
lightning fielding came to his rescue.
Benny Kauif succeeded in getting
three hits, but fell down badly in the
sixth inning. Anderson and Magee had
opened with singles, but, after White
house had served two balls TO Kauf,
the latter raised a high foul to Nc
Kechnie at third base. Anderson and
Claude Cooper each got a pair of hits.
Frank Laporte, famed for his long
hitting while in the American League,
was the nemesis of Seaton. He faced
the Tip Top twirler three times, his
single in the first inning scoring a run,
while his triple to the left centre field
bleachers in the sixth inning Tailed
two more. Laporte also worked Seaton
for a free pass. The fielding of the
Frenchman was perfect, a feature be-
ing his brilliant stop of Lands drive
in the fifth inning. McKechnie also
played sterling game at third base.
The Tip Tops started a rally in the
ninth that was brought to an end when
Esmond made a beautiful stop and
throw to second on LATTE, who batted
for Marion.
Kauff had singled to left as a starter
Whitehouse hit Evans. Griggs was in
serted to bat for Cooper, and was
passed, filling the bases. Holt came
through with a whistling single, which
scored both Kauff and Evans, but
Howard, who had run for Griggs, was
out at the plate on foolish attempt
to score. Hy Myers, hitting for Reed,
was railroaded to first, but Watson
struck out, and then Esmond spoiled
Laftte's smash.
The score follows:

Holds Braves in Check While
Teammates Use Bats
Against Four Stall
lings Pitchers.

Boston, April 21.-Young blood. per-
sonihed in Sherrod Smith, the young
lefthanded pitchers, played its part in
the victory Of the Brooklyn Superbas
over the Boston Braves this afternoon.
The score was to 4.
The Braves were on the high road
20 victory, il seemed. for they had
fallen on the curves Of Raleigh Aitchi-
son for three runs in the third inning
and earned a two run lead. The way
the Braves hit Aitchison convinced
Robbie that there was little place on
the bench that needed warming, and
he elected Aitchison to that position.
So il happened that when Boston
came in for the fourth turn at bat
they found Smith shooting them over.
And Sherry shot them over too. In
the sixth inning he forgot to keep one
out of the groove when Hank Gowdy
was at bat, and a hree-bagger was
the result Later Hank scored on an
infield out. His was one of the three
hits made against Smith, who with that
one exception was in difficulty once.
That was in the fourth inning, before
he thoroughly worked the kinks out OF
his arm. Smith was inclined to be
Just little free with his gifts, how
ever, and walked four men.
George Stallings sent four of his
merry men out on the rubber to try to
stop the slaughter. They were Crut-
cher, Cocreham. Bill James and LuQue,
the Cuban. The entrance of James
was hailed by the crowd, for il was his
first appearance this season. Ii Is fair

STAR CATCHER GETS
3O-DAY SENTENCE
Ainsmith, Who Handles
Shoots of Walter Johnson,
Runs AfOul of Law.
IFrom The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington, April 21.-Walter John
son, Washington's famous twirler, may
have to do without the services of the
other end of his battery for thirty
days Eddie Ainsmith, said TO be the
only mar on the team who can sue
cessfully handle the speed kings de-
livery, was sentenced to-day to serve
month in the workhouse.
The sentence was imposed by Judge
Pugh, in the Washington police court,
on the charge that Ainsmith assaulted
Douglas c. Edwards, a motorman, last
Wednesday
A motion for a new trial was prompt
ly filed by President B. S. Minor of the
Washington club, and pending the ap-
peal, Ainsmith and Joe Engel, the
pitcher, who was fined $50 on the same
charge, were released on bail.
The trouble was caused when Ain
smith and Eengel, in an automobile,
nearly ran over the motorman just
outside the Georgetown car barn. Ed
wards shouted something at them,
which Ainsmith and Engel said was a
vile epithet, but which the motorman
testified was merely "Hey! why don't
you run over fellow
The ball players left their machine,
followed Edwards into the car barn,
and then the encounter followed. Ed
wards declared Ainsmith knocked him
down and later kicked him in the face.
The mOtorman said he attempted TO
defend himself with an iron switch
bar after he was knocked down the
first time. but that it was wrested
from him.
Ainsmith is regarded as the most
powerful man on the Washington team.

SherrOd Smith Factor
in Victory of Superbas

to say now that any little squall which
might have blown up when Bill fiirted
with the Feds has quoted down. The
more so because Bill was the only
pitcher who showed any real class. Not
hit was made off him in the two
innings he pitched. He had speed and
curves galore, and his control was we'll
nigh perfect.
1t was Crutcher who first entered the
box for the Braves, and had he re-
manned there for any great length of
time the Superbas might have missed
that train for home. He was nicked
for run in the first frame, but then
managed TO prevent further activity of
q scoring nature until the fifth, when
the Superbas got TO him good and hard.
Hits of varying distances sent four
runs over the plate, and he was yanked
in favor of Cocreham, who lasted just
one inning, and who is to be charged
with two runs. LuQue, who replaced
James, allowed the last tally of the
game.
On the eve of their departure for
home where they will remain during
the month of May, the Superbas played
real ball. They piled on thirteen hits,
and Billy Zimmerman and Hy Myers
bore off the honors with three each.
Schultz, Wheat and Cutshaw followed
with two each, while OMara got the
other safety. Zimmerman had hard
time getting around the lines. Twice
he was thrown out trying to score.
Buck Wheat played his regular game
in left field, and made five catches.
Three of these were difficult. Cut
shaw had his hands full at second base
with eight plays.
The Score follows.

Yesterday, and that was not so very
good at that. Snodgrass was passed IN
the first and went to second on Doyie,s
grounder to the pitcher. Lobert skled,
but Fletcher laced the ball over second
and Snodgrass scored. The attack OF
McGraw's men ended right there.
Fletcher was the only man who mad
any success in solving the pitching OF
Chalmers. In addition to his single, he
drove two long flies to centre. The one
which he hit in the fourth inning was
far over the head of Whitfield. For
second or so it seemed a home run
beyond a doubt. Whitfield ran back
long way, turned around and ran some
more. and by and by reached the end
of his journey with the ball IN his
hand. ,.
The first four runs of the Phillies
came in the third inning, when Byrne,
Bancroft and Becker walked for
starter. Cravaths double, which lit on
the left field foul line, scored Byrne
and Bancroft, and Whitted's sacrlhce
fv TO Snodgrass brought Bedser
across. Doyle's bad tumble Of Mich
offs grounder allowed Cravath TO come
home.
Murray batted for Perritt in the
sixth. and was robbed of hit when
Byrne speared his grounder with a
single hand. Stroud succeeded Per
rift, and pitched the seventh and eighth
innings in effective fashion.
Meyers hit for him in the eighth,
and Fromme came in TO finish the
game. He gave base on balls, made a
wild pitch and an error, but the Phillies
did not make a hit from him. All they
could get was two runs.
