FINAL COTTON CROP ESTIMATE.

The governments final estimate o1 this years cotton crop calls for H. 161 ,OOO bales of 300 pounds, gross weight, exclusive of linters.
 Recent unofficial estimates had in d;cated barely 11,OOO,O0O, but the United States department of agrlcul- lures crop reports are always trustworthy and it is safe to say that the actual count of cotton bales will not vary one-twelfth of. l per cent from its figures, says the Birm- ingham Age-Herald. TT
 Texas will always lead in cotton production-weevil or no weevil. It's estimated 1915 yield is 3,175 ,O00 Georgia, with 100000, continues tc hold second place. and Alabama with 1,O00,000 bales retains third place. Until few years ago Missis sippi was third.
 !, In the ten-year average it is seer that Alabama has produced abou one-tenth of the entire crop of the Esouth. That proportion is almos maintained this year.
 Several days ago the cotton trade discounted the government repor and the strength of the market dur ing the week gives promise of 2 gradual rise in prices during the win ter months with only occasional re action. There is a general feelin! that cotton will climb to 15 cents be fore May.

THE AMERICAN DOCTRINE.

The Pittsburgh Dispatch, though a Republican paper, finds much to commend in the presidents recent message to congress.
 9Th, most lnterssting feature or the presidents mess ge,' says the Dispatch, "is not the admlnlstra'lons plsns fer preparedness, a'ready dis closed and subject tc correction. but his convincing exposition of our need for preparedness. This is as i. should bs. It is for the president to advisla the nation. The people, being informed, will instruct their repre- sentatives to take the appropriate ac- tion.
 "The message. which will live In history as state paper of the tlrst importance. vitalizes and modernlzes sh historic Monroe doctrine. The president places before the Amer jeans of today, not mere precedent to be preserved, but pressing pres ent policy to be pursued. We are warned to prepare to protect, not . traditional theory, but a living prln- c;ple. The Monroe doctrine Of today and tomorrow.
 "'We insist he says. upon secur- ity in presenting our self-chosen lines pf national development. We do more than that. We demand it fo: others. We have set America aside, as a whole, for the uses of indepen. dent nations and political freedom
 ''In the past the Monroe doctrine has been a source of probably great er irritation of Cur continental neigh bors than to Europe. Their pride re- sented our assumption of guardian ship. But, as the president says, we are emerging from that suspicion. The American republics are coming together as equal partners. unit in world affairs, bound indisolubly by the common purpose of securing the urmolested development of our own lives upon our principles of right and liberty And to this end we must be prepared to resist, from whatever quarter it may come. the aggression We ourselves will not practice. In a world relapsed into barbarism this peaceful nation, this peaceful conti- nent must, like the pioneer fore fathers, have the rifle handy whila yielding the sickle.
 Mere numbers, whether of men Or guns, will not suffice. Disciplined might in the presidents forceful phrase is our only security. The one great outstanding lesson of the war has been the demonstrated value of readiness, the men, the guns, the munitions. the supplies, the transpor- tatien, all the. nultitudinous nacessi- tes and essentials expressed in the saying to the last gaiter button.'
 That is what we must do and 1t is what the president urges in his vari- . ous recommendations looking to. wards, not only the mobilizaticn of, fighting units, but Of the transporta-

ton, manufacturing and economic strength of the nation so that, come what may, we shall be prepared.
 We Americans are not militarists, we are not envious, we are not quar- relsoma; all we demand is that We be allowed to live in peace. If we turn to- arms it is because it has been forced upcn us as a measure of sell protachion. No one need fear az gression by us. But we mean to place ourselves in position where we need fear aggression from no one."

Rowing Benefits Boys

GUY NICKALLS, the Yale rowing
 coach. is pronounced advocate of rowing for schoolboys, believing that it will develop them from undersized Weddings to men of strength. This he considers is proved by the case of the English schoolboys who are benefited by participation in the sport. In speaking of the subject he said re- gently:
 q was from physical standpoint an excellent example of what rowing could do for an undersized weakling. At twelve years of age weighed only sev- enty pounds. began rowing at four teen. when about eighty pounds in weight, and steadily gained in weight until at twenty weighed 17o- am an example of thousands in England of what regular rowing exercise will do for an undersized boy. It also has the advantage of other sports in that a lot of rowing exercise can be put through ia a vorY short space of time. SC that

Ablest Backstop Tn
 American League 1914

SIAM AGNEw of the St Louis Y Browns was the ablest begging backstop in the American league last year, though the official fielding rec ords showed that Oscar Stanage Of the Tigers had the greatest number of as- sfsts. Agnew and Stanage each cut down 129 men who tried to steal but the Missourian took part only in 113 contests to the Michigander's 122 and had higher average of men thrown out per game
 s Eleven knights of the big rrftt cut down on the average one or more men vino tried to steal in every game in which they took part. Bass1er of Cleveland, who was in only 25 games, had an average of L16. Agnew's was 1.14, Schang's 1.14. OsNefIrs 1-1S.

it will not interfere in any way with the studies
 School rowing in England is, it Is generally, agreed, 8 greater factor in the physical development of youth than any other exercise so far cultivated. The chief schools in, England which make speciality of this form of ath- letics are Eton, Rugby, Shrewsbury, Bedford, Beaumont. Westminster, Win chester and others which are situated near suitable water for this purpose. So far as statistics can be relied upon, no heart or lung trouble or permanent muscular strain can be directly at tributed to this form of athletic sport, and I may say that it has been gen. orally recognized, in England at least, that since9 the exercise of rowing
 makes use of and develops every mus cIe in the body, it does more to culti- vate the growth and to develop the chest and generally benefit the grow ing youth than any other

of Wingo is in doubt, since he Is un- derstood to have considered Federal league offers. If he joins the lnde-. pendent organization he is likely to meet Plank and Bender. formerly of the Athletics. and several other play CTS who have figured prominently in organized baseball
 Other famous diamond stars who have been released outright or who are in doubt as to the scene of their 1915 activities include Jack Coombs of the Athletics, Kid Gleason of the Chicago Americans. Herman, Schaefer of the Washington Americans, Walter John son of the same club, Ray Caldwell of the New r ork Americans, Rube Mar qnard of the New York Giants and Charley Doofn of the Philadelphia Ma touals. The end is not yet in sight however. for if the American, National and Federal leagues all operate under the twenty-one player plan during the major portion of the season further shifts and reductions may be expected. Not far from 700 players were under contract to clubs in these leagues last season. whereas about 500 will prob ably find employment with the same organizations dufings 1915.
