 "of course. all of my men will no, be able to get there the first day, bu. have heard from a number of them and they are anxious to get to work, said Dr. Longwell. Not having seen any of the men play, I am at loss, of course. to know what to expect from them individuals. At the same time, If I can depend upon my friends, I am going to have some good material, and that is all for which I can ask"
 Preliminary work the first of this week will consist of passing, diving on the ball, putting and general limbering up, according to pr. Longwen. He said it would be a week before he would be able to get down to real hard work. It was his opinion that he would have 4 men on the field by the last of the week, and he thought that sufficient number
 T can thin them out pretty fast, relegating some to the scrub team and telling others they had just as we'll try something else other than foot and strength to play football, and it will not take me very long to find out where this is and where it is not"
 pr. Longwell said it would be the last of the week before the new ath- letic field would be put to use, since he Is anxious to get it in tip-top shape before the force of hands is turned loose. This new field is immediately in the rear of Academic hall and is going to be one of the best athletic fields in the state.

GridirOn Practice Starts on
 HoWdrd Campus Monday
Coach Longwe Expects Have 40 Candidates at Work by End of Week--New Athletic Field Will Not Be Put Into Use for Another Week-Followers of Bap-
 tsts Encouraged Over Prospects

Almost simultaneous with the coming of September morn" gridiron practice starts at Howard college. The Crimson and Blue squad will be in uniform and at work tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock, according to an announcement by pr. J. B. Longwell. whose title as doctor is expected to take wings with give place to that more familiar term of coach"
 There is just an air of encourage ment around the Crimson camps. Prac- tically all footballdom have eyes turned in the direction of Howard with their new coach, wondering what he will do first, second and third. The fact that he is to meet the Auburnites for the in itial battle of the season at Redwood park, October 2, has put fans to guess ing at what he will stage to met the big men. There are those who have a vivid recollection of the nothing to nothing play until the last six min utes of the game in 1909, when the two teams clashed, and they are drawing on imaginations as to what the Baptist coach will have to spring this time.
 Doc" Longwell, himself is about the least speculative of all those in- terested in Towards gridiron season, being content to adopt a policy of watchful waiting, and, preparing to test the mettle of the candidates for the eleven. He stated yesterday that

the old company, probably will own about one-fourth of the stock of the new. Other local sportsmen will take out stock ip blocks of 5000 or $500
 It is understood that the president of the new company will be someone who will make baseball his exclusive business and who will invest money with the in- tent of receiving full dividend in salary. All the business of the club will doubt less be turned over to this newcomer who Is at present being kept under cover; at the same time the present owners will really be the men behind the gun.
 Andrews and Patten entered the nation al same at the same time-in 1909--as own CTS of the Chattanooga club of the South Atlantic league, the original Lookouts Chattanooga entered the Southern in 1910 and the two magnates are thus winding up their eighth consecutive season in double harness"
 Decision of a Nashville judge that the nuisance law does not apply to Sunday baseball, which. therefore, is legal in Ten nessee, has led to strenuous efforts to have Chattanooga courts rule likewise. A test case made by Kid EIberfeld last fall Is still in court and if favorable de- cision is rendered its practically certain that the new company will eformed with many begging to be let in' after all room is taken.
 Kid Elberfeld Is taking a slice of stock in the new company and his contract with President Andrews for next year will be carried out regardless of the turn af- fairs may take.

Concerning the .22
OOncel From Outing.


 A surprising number of .22 caliber pis- tols of the single-shot type are carried by outdoor men such as surveyors pros- pectors, timber cruisers and rangers. in the wilder sections of the country for chance shots at small game at short range. Both arm and ammunition weigh little. an important point. and many a quail, partridge, rabbit. squirrel, and oc- casional deer, the latter generally shot through the head, are brought into camp, thanks to the little pop-gun. One shot through the brain with .22 long-riiie cartridge will make eeer drop instantly without the least struggle. but a heart shot is apt to be a different matter en- tirely. The writer knows personally of a case where a timber-cruiser killed a moose under fair hunting conditions with two shots from a .22 pistol, but this Is a rather unusual occurrence.

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK. March 1.-THE cotton
market lost part of it's recent gains
during todays trading. May sold up
to 11.90 shortly after the opening, or
about three points over last nights
closing figures, but later broke to 11.I5,
and closed at 11.77. with the general
list closing steady at net decline of
nine to twelve points.
Bullish overnight spot advices from
the south and favorable reports from the
domestic goods trade seemed to inspire
some scattered buying at the start
and, after opening unchanged to six
points higher, active months sold three
to six points above last nights closing
figures. with July touching 1903, and
October 1925. Liverpool cables were
hardly up to expectations, however.
while Manchester trade advices were
not encouraging, and sentiment here
seemed to be unsettled by the reported
sinking of Norwegian schooner, al
though the seven Americans on board
were said to have been rescued. There
was some New Orleans buying early.
but selling orders were received from
that source as prices eased on, and the
break carried July contracts of to
1l94 while October sold at 1907, or
about ten to twelve points net lower.
The close was within a point or two
Of the lowest. Some traders around
the ring attributed the decline to the
interest and the absence of fresh buy
ing for long account owing to con-
tinued Uncertainty as to political con-
ditions, the export outlet and new
crop prospects.
that manufacturers of fertilizers were
urging planters to place orders for
their supplies early and Offering to
guarantee the price. This was taken
by local bulls as indicating a disap-
pointing demand, but there were very
few advices from the south with refer
ence to crop preparations. Private ca
bles reported a small market in Liver
pool, and some of the sellers here
thought that the light spot business re-
ported reflected an easier feeling with
reference to spots owing to the recent
increase in arrivals of American cot

NEW ORLEANS.

NEW ORLEANS, March 11.-Follow-
ing a short period of steadiness on the
opening, the cotton market developed
an easy tone today and fell IL to IA
points under the last prices of yester-
day as the result of selling based upon
the report of the sinking without warm
ing of the Norwegian bark Fillius
The Mexican situation also was re-
garded with more uneasiness than was
noticed yesterday. No great amount
of short selling was In evidence, but
recent buyers were inclined to accept
profits ON their contracts, and offerings
from this source toward the close were
in considerable volume. Last prices
for the day were at net loss of 10 to
IS points.
Cables were hardly up to expecta-
lions. but spot accounts were as fa-
vorable as ever and brokers had buy
ing orders on rather liberal scale on
the first call. The trading months
were lifted 3 to points above yester-
days close by this buying. The mar
ket soon developed an easy under
tone.
