SHUGRUE BESTS CROSS.
Joe Has Something on Leach in Ten.
Round Bout.

NEW YORK, January Inlay be it
is the old case of the pitcher that went
to the well once too often, or it is that
Leach Cross is on his way to the bone
yard of f1stics, while Joe" Shugrue is
on his way to the top. At any rate, the
bout between the two lightweights at
Madison Square Garden last night dem
onstrated the fact that Shugrue is the
better man for ten rounds, but 1t also
was shown that Cross is a contender
still in the ranks of lightweights. Cross
was undoubtedly beaten on points, but
he put up far better fight against the
Jersey City boy than did Freddie
ing enough always, but he was not ac-
curate enough in his punching.
Shugrue had his measure and timed
his blows far better than the dentist
Cross, however, in spite of all the
blows that he stopped, was never in
any particular danger. Once in the
seventh round he dropped to the floor
A left hook caught him on the chin
when he was off balance and he sat
down with a thud. That the blow did
not hurt him was evident when he was
up in a jiffy and fighting away harder
than ever. Here Shugrue thought that
he had an opportunity to land a knock
out, and he whaled away for all he
was worth. Cross was right there with
him, though, and Shugrue had little
advantage when the round ended.
Shugrue weighed only 1873 in his full
ring costume, but he looked far more
rugged and fit than his rival.

Two runners-up in the bowling leagues
lost ground as a result of last nights
matches. The National Laundry five in
the Capital City League was defeated
by the Bureau auint and is now three
games behind the leaders, instead of
two. The Y. M. c. A. was beaten IN
the National Capital League two games
out of three and is not as close to Pal
ace, the leader, as it was before the
match was rolled.
The bowling Of Liekweg was the big
gest factor in the victory of the Bureau
quint He got a good score in every
game. knocking down 12l pins in his

McAboy of the National Laundry also
did some fair work, having count Of
more than 100 in each Of his contests.
The bowling done by the Y. M. c. A. was
below the average.
P. Elicit Gets High Set.
P. Elicit, rolling for the Fifth team in
the Interdenominational League against
st. Marks. obtained the highest set
registered in the leagues. Elicit whaled
into the pins in his first game for a
count of 125 and then finished with
marks of ia and 122. The three con-
tests gave him a set of 361. Fifth de-
feated ST. Marks two out of three. In
the other two matches rolled in this
organization Bethany took two out of
three games from Sixth, and Gorsuch won
the same number from Kendall. Jacobs
of Bethany and E. Donaldson of Cor
such did well.
The Neslines did not have much trouble
winning their match with the Nortons
in the Southeast circuit, taking all three
contests Demar of the winners got
the best score made by the players,
registering counts of 1o4, 1S1 and 116 for
a total of 351.

The Belmonts won two games from
the Contenders in the District organiza-
ton, though both teams bowled away be-
low the standard Of that circuit. Lewis
got the highest marks and they were
only 102. 1Os and lit.
The Bankers proved too strong for the
Mount Pleasant team in the Arcade
League and won two games. 1t was
a Mount Pleasant player, though. who
took high individual honors-Thye of
that team got set Of 345, for which
he rolled games Of 101, 12S and 116.

LYNCH MAY HEAD FEDS"
Former National League President
Mentioned as Gilmore's Successor.

HARTFORD, Conn.,, January 14.-Be'
cause of the visit of Alexander Ban
nevart, a Federal League emissary, to
New Britain Tuesday night, it was
rumored in that city that Thomas j.
Lynch. former president of the National
League, was being considered as head
of the Federal League. Several days
ago Lynch said the Federals must be
recognized or there would be no peace
for so-called organized base ball.
Bannevart and Lynch conferred for
sew eral hours Tuesday evening. but neither
of them would talk. If Lynch is not
being considered as Gilmore's success
sor, then, according to local gossip. the
conference has to do with the reported
formation by the Federals Of the Farm
League in New England to encroach
leagues.

CONGRESSMAN HEFLIN
SEES 20-CENT COTTON

That cotton will sell at S1OO
a bale before Christmas and
seed at $65 a ton was the COR
fident prediction of Congress
man Heflin of Alabama in WASH
ington Saturday. In statement
urging that Southern cotton
growers stick to the plan of
holding their staple for d price
Heflin said the mills of this
country will demand three fifths
of the entire crop this year.
Ten million bales will consti-
tute the entire cotton production
of the country this year, accord
ing to Heflin. Of this the mills
will take six million, he says,
leaving only four million to be
divided between export and
munitions manufacture. Hefiin
points out that since August last
year, we have exported almost
as much as the entire crop this
year will aggregate.
The European nations are
already paying fabulous prices
for secondary products of cotton,
such as dry batteries and picric
acid, used in making ex-
plosives, says the statement.
And cotton for smokeless pow
der and other explosives will be
in greater demand than ever
before.
Cotton prices are bound to be
higher, higher than at any time
since the war between the
States. The European nations
are going to pay and ought, to
pay 20 cents a pound for cotton
before long. Germany is already
in the Southern market, buying
and storing cotton"

PATTERSON is MAYOR
BY SMALL MAJORITY

In the special election held in
Fort Mill to nominate mayor
to fill the unexpired term of
A. R. McElhaney, resigned, III
votes were cast, of which w. M.
Carothers received S2 and B. E.
Patterson 80, the latter being
elected by majority of seven
votes. Considerable interest was
taken in the election as indicated
by the large vote cast, the lar
gest in the history of the town.
Mr.. Patterson has the honor of
being the youngest mayor that
Fort Mill has ever had, having
only recently attained his ma
Jority and casting his first ballot
inthis election. He is a son of
Mr.. and Mrs. j. H. Patterson
and is very highly esteemed
throughout the town and COM
munity.
Mr.. Patterson took the oath
OF office at special meeting of
council Thursday evening.

Canal Closed Rest of Year.

A careful survey of the recent
slide area in the Gailliard Cut
reveals that there probably are
ten million cubic yards of earth
in motion, which must be taken
out by Dredging before perma-
nent channel is possible. This
is the conclusion reached by the
Panama canal engineers, who
concede there now is little hope
of opening the waterway, even
for the temporary use of ship
ping. much before the first of
the year.
The present rate of wet ex-
cavation is a million yards a
month and at this rate it would
require not less than ten months
to remove the mass now sliding
into the canal considerably faster
than the dredges can take it
out.

ONE MAN SHOT DEAD;
FOUR OTHERS INJURED

Bitterness, arising out of the
Charleston municipal campaign
which ended in a primary cleo
tion Tuesday of last week with
the apparent nomination for
mayor of Tristram T. Hyde over
the incumbent, John P. Grace.
10y a majority of 10 votes, famed
into bloodshed when the Char
lesion Democratic executive COM
mlttee met at noon Friday to
canvass the returns. Hardly
had the chairman, Joseph A.
Black, a Hyde man, declared
the meeting open before a shot
struck down Sidney j. Cohen, a
young reporter of the Charleston
Evening Post, and in the more
or less general exchange of shots
which followed four men, all of
the Grace faction, were wounded
two of them seriously. During
the atfray two or three ballot
boxes and several club books
were hurled out through win
dows and in the ensuing scram-
bic in the street two men were
dubbed.
w. A. Turner received a bull
let in his right lung, w. Z.
Wingate was wounded in the hip
and has scalp confusion. Har-
ry l.. Wilensky was shot in the
arm and Jeremiah O'Brien was
shot in the ankle. Max Goldman
and Tristram T. Hyde, Jr., suf-
ferred minor bruises.
Several men were arrested
and afterward released on bail.
but of these none was charged
with actual participation in the
affray. Some of them are held
for carrying concealed weapons,
the others being merely de-
tanned.
Stories of the clash differ
widely and no dependable ac-
count in detail as to just how or
by whom the shooting was done
has been procured.

YORK C0UhTY'S FAIR
WAS GRAND SUCCESS

The York County fair closed
Saturday night, and while all of
the bills for expenses incurred
for this fair are not at hand nor
the premium list been figured
out, from the figures available
at this time the managers are
sure that the fair this year has
been a financial success, which
is most gratifying under the con-
ditions that have existed for the
past year.
The exhibits were the best that
have been shown here, or at any
other fair. Parties who have at
tended fairs all over the country
say they never saw better ones.
The stock exhibit was the
finest ever held in the State.
from the fact that there were
more fine thoroughbred stock
there.
The exhibit building was filled
to overflowing and a large tent
had to be provided for a part of
the farm products. The stock
was so great that it could scarce
ly be accommodated. This, of
course, will be remedied by
another year by the stock pens
to be erected there.
The chicken exhibit was very
fine, indeed. Prof. Hare of
Clemson College stated he was
very much surprised to see such
a fine exhibit, and it is suggested
that fine winter show could be
held here by the poultry pro-
ducers and expert advice in re-
gard to chickens can be obtained
from Mr.. Cleveland, State Agent
for South Carolina, who is work
ing in connection with Winthrop
College. Profs. Cleveland, Whit
field and Willie Poag, we under
stand, are due credit for this good
exhibit at the fair.
Miss Marie Fewell and Miss
Alice Mitchell, assisted by others,
are at work on the premium list
and checks will be mailed the
prize-winners in about two
weeks. Rock Hill Record.

Will Double Big Mill.

According to press dispatches,
arrangements have been COM
pleted by the Republic Cotton
Mills, of Great Falls, to double
their plant, capacity, output and
number of employees. At a
meeting of stockholders in New
York a few days ago, all details
were arranged for increasing the

81, 200, 600, all paid-in spot cash
and all common stock.
The new plant will be hand
some and modern and will have
DO, 900 spindles and 1000 looms.
Three hundred residences for
operatives will be provided, to-
gether with a welfare house.
Every home will be equipped
with interior sewerage, hot and
cold running water, electric
lights, and all the other ap-
purtenances of a modern dwell
ing. Each house will have from
four to six rooms. They will be
rented to the operatives at a
nominal price.
