Cotton
 the Liverpool Situation

In an effort to buy much needed
 American cotton, the Liverpool Cot
 ton exchange has advanced prices
 more than three-fourths of a cent
 in the last 10 days, but the demand
 for ship room to supply foreign
 spinners' needs has advanced the
 rate of freight to practically the
 same amount that Liverpool had ad-
 vanced her prices.
 The interest to the cotton holder in this situation is in the fact that Liverpool has sarted an effort to supply her cotton needs, with the result of advancing both the market and the freight rate $4 a bale. It is rumored that the English government is about to take hand in the freight situation by regulat- ing the rate foreign spinners must pay for cotton. Indications are that the price and freight rate will be adjusted, so that the balance of the American crop will sell no lower and probably much higher than the average of prices heretofore re- ceived.
 Cotton owners should adhere to the policy of selling only on ris- ing market, staying out on declines. The facilities of this company en- able cotton owners to hold or to sell to best advantage. Send your cotton to us.

SLIM CATCHERS RULE
AGAINST GIANTS NOW
Ray Schalk Type Of New Backstop.
Speed an Essential Quail
fcation.

CHICAGO. August 5.-Fashions change
in base ball to no less a degree than in
dress. and it would seem that the day
of the big. bulky catcher, whose chief
asset is his ability to stand up back of
the plate and defy a pitcher to knock
him down, is past and gone Ten years
ago it was quite the thing for scouts
to scour the minor leagues for giants
who wore the mask and glove and
recommend them to the major league
clubs. In some instances these men
were so slow that they hardly could
run to the stand to get foul fly, but
as long as they could catch and throw
they were retained.
The catchers who are coming into the
major leagues today are of a different
type. In the ma jority of cases they are
trinity built. speedy men who. while
strong and sturdy, are agile enough to
answer the demands made upon them.
Ray Schalk. the wonder maskman of
the Chicago White Sox. stands forth as
leagues today, and he is perhaps the
smallest of all. Indeed. 1t was Schalk
who so completely shattered illusion
that in order to succeed a catcher had
to be big.

BY ERNEST J. LANIGAN.

Robert Lincoln Lowe, former famous
Boston and Chicago National League
player, whose last position in fast So
ciety was with the Detroit Tigers.
thinks his feat in making four home
runs in National League contest was
better performance than Ed Dele
hanty's. and adduces reasons for so
thinking. Lowe now is leading the
peaceful life of retired citizen in De-
troit. Since quitting the diamond he
has done a little scouting, but not
much.
Only two major league players have
made four circuit drives in one game.
Lowe turned this trick when he was a
member of Frank Selee's Bostons the
afternoon of Decoration day. 1894. and
two years later, July 13. Ed Delehanty
banged out quartet of homers. Lowe
says Del did not duplicate his feat.
though he did make four homers.
II made my four homers in a row
and Del didn't" Lowe told the writer
when last in Detroit. Besides, two of
my home runs came in one inning. and
Ed got his four in four different in
nings. Lots of people think that my
home runs were made at that little
band box park where Soden and Con-
ant made their fortunes. They weren't.
They were made at the Congress street
grounds. That was large field. 1t
took good, long slam to clear that
fence in left where / showed the ball
over four times Get the scores some
time and see If my record wasn't bet
ter than DeIs. And ask Clark Griffith.
Connie Mack or John McGraw IL the
field where / made my homers wasn't
as large as the field where Delehanty
made his"
Delehanty's hits were made in Chi
cago, off "Adonis' Terry, while the
pitcher Lowe had his field day on in
Boston was Elkton Chamberlain. Terry
and Chamberlain both were right-hand-
ers chamberlain could pitch left hand
ed il he wished to), and both made their
reputation in the old American Asso-
citation.
The game In Boston, Decoration day,
1894, resulted in home triumph by a
score of 90 to IL. while the contest in
Chicago, July 13. 1896, also went to the
domestic athletes. though they made no
circuit drives. on the basis of to 8.
Charley ("kid") Nichols pitched against
Chamberlain in the game in Boston: 8:
Virgil Garvil against VIII Terry in the
game in Chicago.
An odd thing about loves batting
jamboree of twenty-five years ago was
that in the morning game. batting six
times against "Tacks" Parrott he could
not strike a safe blow. Then. in the
afternoon, Lowe collected fve hits in
six times at bat.
The record of that game shows that
the first time Lowe batted he was
thrown out by George Smith. In the
third inning Bobby twice strobe to the
plate and each time he banged the ball
