COOL WEATHER IN
CAROLINAS HURTS
The COTTON CROP
Weevil Gets Top Crop in
Texas and Louisiana.
Weather Favors Picking.

/ Washington, Sept. 20.-Cool weather
in North Carolina and parts of South
Carolina has caused some damage to
cotton, but picking and slnn'lg is
proceeding under favorable conditions
in most of the southern statas, accord
ing to the weekly crop b4iletll issued
today by the weather bureau.
In Arkansas, Louisiana, oklahoma
and Texas, the weather avo'a picking
and ginning. In Oklahoma the crop is
progressing slowly, and in Louisiana
and Texas little or no top crop IS eX-
pected, owing to the boil weeVll.
Cotton is reported IS being made IN
the greater portion of Arkansas.
Frost did damage during the week
to late corn in several northern

AVERAGE APPLE
CROP FORECASTED

Washington, Sept. 20.-The Septeem-
Der / forecast of total apple produc-
ton this year in the United States, as
reported bv the bureau of crop estl..
mates, United States department Of
agriculture, is 67,679,000 barrels OF
three bushels each agricultural and
not commercial basis), as compared
with 76,67O.OOO estimated produced
last year, of which not quite 65 per
cent were sold. In the past ten years
estimated production has exceeded the
present forecast five times. Taking
the country as whole: it thus appears
that the apple crop will be nearly, an
average, but IL per cent smaller than
, last years large crop. The crop Is is
larger than last year in the Atlanta;
! Coast states, including New York and
Pennsylvania, and the Pacific Coast
states, but smaller in practically al
the interior states except Michigan
which has about "a per cent more thar
last year For the first time, this
wear an attempt has been made tt
forecast the crop by important va
rieties.

Long Branch, N. j.. Sept. 2o.-Vic-
tory for the democratic ticket in New
York state in November is predict
ed by President Wilson, following the
receipt of returns from the primary
elections there yesterday.
The president today indicated his
belief that the progressive voters Of
New York state will support the
Democrats. Taking his first active
part in the campaign there, M. Viii
son today sent kilograms of cangratu-
lation to W. F. McCombs, the demo-
cratic nominee for the United States
senate, and to Judge Samuel Seabury,
the democratic nominee for governor
The telegram to Mr.. McCombs read
as follows:
II congratulate you most warmly
on your nomination by the democrats
Of New York for the United States
senate. A united body of progress
ives will be behind YOU
The president spent virtually the
entire day preparing for his cam
paign and attending to official bust
ness. 1t was indicated that continued
reference by Charles E. Hughes to the
settlement by the president of the re-
Gently threatened railroad strike has
led Mr.. Wilson to give much of his
attention to this subject in his forth
coming speeches. He is expected to
outline his position On this question
Saturday, when he speaks to more
than 500 business men who are to
visit Shadow Lawn.
Officials said today that the presi-
dent plans to show that society has
sanctioned the eight-hour day, and to
point to his program Of legislation al
ready recommended as the best pos
sible means of avoiding railroad
strikes in the future.
The president is said to be pre-
pairing also to attack the republi-
cans for bringing sectionalism into
the campaign, these attacks to be
based ON the reference in republican
campaign speeches to the number of
committee chairmanships in congress
held by southern senators and repre-
sentatives. 81

SUMMER BASEBALL
 QUESTION MUDDLED | SAYS PROF. HOOPER
Sewanee Led Fight Against Allowing Students to Play for Money During
 Vacation

Chattanooga, December n-(Special.) Officials of the Southern intercollegiate
 Athletic association in passing their new rule permitting summer baseball let a joker" creep in which will prevent the practice by college students, according to Prof. F. F. Hooper, Chattanooga's repre- sentative at the Charleston meeting.
 So far from 'loosening up on the sum
 mer baH rules, the meeting, it is said, really made them tighter than ever. The
 bitterest fight against summer baseball was made by Dr. Walter Hullihen, Sewa- Hooper, Sewanee will notify the other col ball cannot be played, according to rules.
 The 1915 rule read that an athlete may play summer ball for his expenses on any team he may elect not in profes. sional league.
 The new rule onnits the phrase flor his expenses
 The intention of the framers of the rule was to permit the player to receive any amount for playing provided he did not belong to professional league, but article l. section 9, rules that professional athletes are not eligible and that pro- fessional is any athlete who receives money.
 Hence, according to Sewanee officials.
 any player who receives penny for play ing baseball is made ineligible. Georgia
 Tech Auburn and several other schools
 were enthusiastic adherents of summer
 ball and hectic argument is expected.

One Year Rule Is Cause of
 Auburn Vanderbilt Split
Crimson and Commodore Clash on November 1OAa bama Will Probably Drop Tech From Schedule
 ''South's Classic" Is Unattached

brought to the standard of the past Au- burn-Vandy clashes
 The substitution of the University of Alabama on the schedule marks another important niche in the athletic career of the Crimson. For the last two years the athletic standards of the university have increased rapidly. The Crimson machine, under the direction of Coach Kelley, has come out wonderfully and is now regarded as one of the most formidable elevens in the south.
 The Crimson and the Commodores will clash in Birmingham on November 10. 1 The occupation of this date probably means that Georgia Tech will be dropped from the schedule. Tech has had this date for the past few years and although nothing official has been given out, it is thought that the substitution of Vandy means that the Yellow Jackets have met the Crimson for the last time.
 It has been rumored in Birmingham and Nashville for the past few weeks that Auburn and Vandy would split. Probably the greatest reason for the split was the difference of opinion over the one-year rule. Auburn has fought for the resi- dence rule for the S. I. A. A. for the past few years. In 1915 at the New Orleans meeting, Auburn organized the Southern Athletic conference with the chief object of having a one-year residence rule.
 When the S. l. A. A. turned down the one-year rule at the Charleston meeting a few days ago, it was freely predicted that teams members of the S. l. A. A. and the s. A. c. would not be allowed to play Auburn, having but few followers for the one-year rule and ruling the S. A. C., de- cided to play s. I. A. A. teams. This of- fer it is thought, came too late.
 It is understood that Vandy offered Au- burn a game in Nashville near the first of November, but the Plainsmen manage ment declined. The contract with Ala bama, it is understood, is for five years with the understanding that the 1917 game is profitable. The game is sure to be pig drawing card It is Vandy's lone game in Birmingham and everybody is always anxious to see the Commodores in action.
 The passing of the Auburn Vandy game marks the end of one of the souths most important battles. It is hoped the Ala bama-Vandy game will retain the south s classic" The brand of ball offered next year holds the result in doubt. F. B.
