gang. He and Daisy, Rudyards
daughter, fall in love. From the
mountain girl the spy of the Govern
ment learns to appreciate how. to the
hill folk, the law represents only op-
preston. He puts off his duty from
day to day
Meanwhile, the sealousy of Tim
Leech, an old sweetheart of Daisy's. is
reused. He tries to kill the stranger.
The first time Philip is saved by
Daisy The second time a slashing
knife in the grip of his enemy rips
from Dryden's shirt, where he has
concealed the silver star of his au-
thority. The bit of metal defects the
knife blade, saving Philips life-but
not before Daisy has seen the badge
and realized that her lover is
traitor.
While Tim runs for aid, the girl
holds Dryden a prisoner at the point
OF her gun. He tells her that he has
lived a lie, but that he has sent no
message of betrayal; that love for
her has held him back. Daisy lets
falls the gun and commands her lover
to escape. At this instant, Tim, the
mOonshiners at his heels, bursts into
the cabin. AS he lifts his gun there
is firing from nearby thicket Tim
falls dead. Then her lover has lied.
He had betrayed them to the law.
Daisy will not listen to Dryden's de-

WEEK WITHOUT FEATURE PASSES

Pels Still Out in Front With Safe Lead-BarOns Lose Four and Win Three.
 Gulls Are Improving

With the New Orleans PeIicans still out in front with a goodly edge on their apparent rivals. the Nashville Vol only apparent rival, the Nashville VOl- ern association race ended today com paratively featureIess.
 Only two performances perhaps stood cut to give the week the least distinc- ton over the five stretches which have gone before. Critics seem to think that the rush of the Atlanta Crackers, who got a strong hold or third place by win- ming Friday and Saturday from their closest cOntenders. the Chattanooga LOokOuts, and the ascent of Mobile from the cellar, were the high spots of seven days of rather mOnotOnOus play.
 Others rather inclined to the feat of the Little Rock Travellers, who defeat ed the Pelicans twice and played them to a standstill Saturday in a seven inning game, as the weeks striking feature. although New Orleans ended the session with three victories against two defeats. The Trave.ers broke even Tor the first time Iii several weeks, winning three and losing three.
 Mobile and Atlanta got through with percentage slightly better than 800. the Gulls winning four and losing three, perhaps their hest showing for single week since the season began. The Crackers playing short week of five games, got away with three vic tories.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF
 THE COTTON MARKET

New Orleans. May 2s.-Heavy liquidation of the long inter est coupled with large volume of the cotton market last week, sending the active months at their lowest 34 to AZ points below the final figures for the previous week. The market stood at the decline practically from the start. The close was at a net loss of IT to 30 points. Spots lost 37 points, closing at 12.63c for middling.
 The marked improvement in weather conditions over the belt stimulated much of the selling out on the long side and encouraged bearish traders in- to fresh endeavor. The breaking of the drouth in the eastern belt was one of the main features in weather devel- opments. Fair and warm weather following good rains over the entire cotton region brought forth reports of late planted cotton coming up to a good stand and of fast headway being made in the cultivation of the crop.
 The heaviest liquidation was on Thursday when one line of about 25,- 900 bales was thrown overheard. At the close of the week bullish traders claimed great improvement in the technical position as the result of the pairing down of the long interest and the building up of a new short inter- est.
 This week the main feature probably will be the first report of the season on condition by the department, of agri culture. This will carry the crop down to May 25, and the figures will com- pare with 80 per cent of the normal on May 25 of last year, TAB two years ago. 79.1 three years ago. and 10-year average of 79.S. Bulls look for a re- port of below 80 and bears for figures over that mark. A private crop re- porting bureau came out with SO6 per cent last week, and the estimate was considered bearish. It probably will take figures of 7S or under to cause much of rise and S1 or better to cause
 much of decline.

Clark singled to right scoring Mac, but was cut down at second, when Street re- layed Bakers peg to Ellam.

INTEREST OF BASEBALL WORLD
 FOCUSED ON NEW YORK GIANTS
Followers Hoping to See New Record Estab- lished-Indians Continue to Play Great Ball-Teams Begin to Hit Stride

The interest of the baseball world was focused in the week just closed on the remarkable record of the New York Nationals. the rejuyenated Giants, who first 1o games this season, now have an unbroken string of 16 victories and have risen from last place to second place. where they are within two games of the Brooklyn leaders.
 The 16 straight wins, while not unpre- cedented even by the Giants themselves, took the followers of the game com pletely by surprise because of the abrupt reversal of form and the con- sistent good playing in all depart ments.
 The aggressiveness developed by the Giants leads many of their followers to hope they will not stop until they have equalled or surpassed the worlds record of 20 straight games won, made by the old Providence team in 1884, or the modern record of 19 straight, made made by the Chicago Americans, the famous "hitless wonders" of 1906.
 The eastern clubs, by virtue of the success of their western invasion, vir- tually monopolize the first positions in both leagues. The only exception is the Cleveland Americans. The first in vason of the west, which ended Wednesday, resulted in the eastern clubs of the National league winning 50 games and losing 19, while the eastern teams of the younger organization won 22 and lOSt 19.

Nashville, May 2S.-(Special)-On his batting order and the Barons won from the Vols. This afternoon the Birmingham pilot juggled with his bat ting order again and the BarOns evened the series with Roy EIIam's outfit, win ming 4 to 3.
 Only a clever move, however. by the Baron boss in derricking Burleigh Grimes when the Vols began to assault him viciOusIy in the eighth saved the day for the Birminghammers and DfcEie Robertson had tough time sm mothcring Vol rally in the ninth.
 Grimes breezed along for the first seven innings, moving the Vols as fast as they could get up to the plate, but in the eighth he suddenly crumpled and was belted for three hot slams before Moley could rush Robertson to the fir ing line.
 The squak by which the Barons eyened the count on the series would have been far closer had the Vols not taken such foolish chances on the path ways as they did, Little Caton in right smithing two ambitious members of the Ellam clan who sought to add an ex- tra hassock. Caton's perfect shot to third in the eighth, which nailed Moose Marshall, broke the back of the Vols big rally. In the second round Caton cut down Kores at second, after the Vols third sacker had opened with long triple to right and attempted to stretch 1t into double.
 To keep pace with Caton, Baker, for the Vols, shot down two Barons sneak ing over to the next haSSock and Gus Williams, in left, killed another.
 Bill Lindsay, who went to bat IA times without connecting safely ham mered in what turned out to be the winning tally in the eighth, when his single to center scored Meusel.

DODGERS LOSE LEAD

Brooklyn lost the lead in the National league during the week to Philadelphia but holds it today as a result of it's double victory over the Phillies on Sat urday The three leading teams are so close together that any day may bring changes The Boston Braves were un- able to split even on their western trip
 and fell back into fourth place by losing three straight to the Giants.
 The four western clubs fared badly and were unable to better their posi- tions appreciably.
 In the American league the feature of the week was the fight between Washington and Cleveland for first place. The Senators went into the lead early in the week, only to be dislodged by the Indians, but they got back into the coveted position yesterday by Win ming double-header from Philadelphla'
 while Cleveland was idle. Clevelands s double defeat today by Chicago strengthened Washingtons hold on first place.
 Cleveland was able to do better than split even during the week, winning two games and losing two. Washington won five, lost one and tied one. Good pitching and a strong offense mas helped Washington, while Cleveland's good showing may be attributed in no
 small way to the individual playing of Iris Speaker and John Graney The form displayed by the New York
 Americans was another of the features of the week. The Yankees have won games chiefly through the hit
 ting of Leslie Nunamaker, who leads the American league batters; Paddy
 Baumann who is relieving Frank Baker during the latter's illness; Magee and
