COTTON CONDITION
 IS 78.8 PER CENT
CONDITIONS ARE SPOTTED
Plant Small But Healthy, With Blooms as Far North as Tennessee
 and BOlls Farther South.

Memphis, June 26.-The condition of the cotton crop as of average date of June 23 is 78.S per cent of normal, according to reports of cor respondents of the Commercial Ap- peal.
 This compares with the govern ment condition of 77.5 per cent on May 25 of this year, 803 per cent on June 25 last year and the ten year average for this date of SOP per cent.
 Best progress of the crop has been prevented by low temperature and too much rain over various localities in the belt. While these rains have visited practically every state in the belt, they have not covered any one state, so that conditions are spotted. However, there are many complaints of grassy fields and rank plant growth. Plant averages somewhat late, but is healthy, as a rule. Blooms are reported as far north as Tennessee, while some bolls are re- ported from around the middle of the belt.
 Boil Weevil are numerous in almost all previously infested areas and some damage is already reported as having been done, although this is small to date. Farmers are making stiff fight against the pest, but the latter seems to be gaining headway in most districts.
 Conditions by states, with compari- sons with last year on June 25 fol- lows:

targets, H. L. SPOTS, the veteran gun
ner of the New York Athletic Club,
broke 1876 out Of 200 to-day over the
same set of traps at Travers Island
and won the national amateur cham
pionship title from field OF 1876.
This score established new record
for this event since its conditions were
changed from 100 to 200 targets in 1911.
Two years ago SPOTS, whose ability
as a trap shooter has won him inter
rational honors. captured the title with
1888 breaks, and last year the late
George L. Lyon, of Durham, y. G., won
both the preliminary and championship
events with a score of 191 for each.

that. however, Burns and Niehoh
worked their double steal, as told prevl-
ously.
Mayer wabbled for just an instant in
the seventh frame, and in a trice the

the chance. His line drive passed Me

PfefTer sacrificed his battery mate

then came the eleventh and victory.

Buck Wheat, the mighty Cherokee war

rush. Buck was at the bat five times,

Chief Meyers was lost to the team
for week or more. He split his finger
while practising, and watched the game
from an upper tier box. He rooted al
most as hard as the fan who sat be-
side him. An extra thrill was added to
the game by Leo Stevens, who sailed
over the field in mis- balloon. Stevens
dropped some mysterious looking

CORNELL MEN
CAPTURE MEET
FROM HARVARD
Richards Wins Individual
Honors, Winning High
Jump and Shot Put.
tBy Telegraph 10 Tue Tribune. ]

Ithaca, N. Y, May 6.-Cornell de-
feated Harvard in the annual dual
track meet here this afternoon by a
score of SO to "a. Out OF total OF
10 events, Cornell got a clean sweep
in the two-mile, high and low hurdles,
shot put and hammer throw.
In all, Cornell got 9 first and o
second places, while Harvard got 4
first and a second places.
In the field and long distance events
the Ithacans were particularly strong.
In the dashes there was such keen
competition that many Of the events
were practically dead heats.
Richards won the individual honors
with a total of Is points to his credit.
He won both the high jump and the
shot put and came in third in the
broad jump. Windnagle in the one
mile run established q new record for
the local track by covering the dis
lance in 4:23 As.
In the two-mle run the first five
men to finish were Ithacans, but had
not Dawson fallen in the fourth lar
when he was in third place it is likely
that the event would not have been so
easily won by Cornell.
In the finals of the l20-yard hurdles
only Cornell men took part. In this
event Gubb won with a good lead in
15:O2, which is one-ffth lower than the
intercollegiate record and ties the
nrevious Cornell mark. Starr came IN
third in this event but was disqualified
because he knocked down three Of the
hurdles.

In the face Of this start the Giants

Nv dear, it was simply terrible
Don't breathe a word of this TO any
one. we wouldn't have it get back 10
them for anything on earth, but after
Richard the Rudolph had spotted them
five runs and SIX hits in the opening
canto he proceeded to beat Tesreau'
Perritt and Anderson by the count OF
7 to 6.
The Giants tore into Rudolph at
the start as If they intended TO shoot
away both ears and part Of his beak.
But after that first outbreak the Brave
slabman settled gently back 70 the
green May sod and baffled the life out
of our falling stars for the last eight
innings.
Those runs in the first should have
been enough TO win. For while, all
told, the Giants pumped out eleven hits
for six runs, fabby pitching once more
set them adrift. It's beyond US. Here
is a ball club with five 300 hitters-
Robertson, Kauf, Burns, Fletcher and
Rariden-able 10 go out and get 1--WE
or six runs each afternoon, and yet II

teen attempts.
Simply Awful.
On this occasion the club gave its
best pitcher, one who operated IN
three-hit capacity at his last start. five
fat, bullying tallies, and yet he couldn't
last two rounds. How can you beat 1t?
The answer is a percentage of .143.
Tesreau started badly, a pass and
three singles greeting his imposing
presence for two runs in the first. In
the second, after another pass, two
singles and a triple had been wrenched
by superior brute force from his right
arm, Charles Munro drifted away, hull
down against the pink horizon. BY
that time five runs were over and the
score was tied.
When Tesreau passed along, Poll
Perritt rushed out to exhibit his wares
fresh from the canebrakes of Louisi-
ana. Poll flew swiftly, but he reached
the scene too late. While he held the
Braves TO five hits and two runs in six
innings before a pinch hitter sent him
home, those two runs were just enough
to cost defeat, with Rudolph reformed
and romping along without slip.
Anderson held the enemy TO one hat
in his two stanZas. but the point IS
that most Of the good pitching arrived
after the bulk OF the damage had been
done.
IL has been this way most Of the
year. No matter who is picked 70 start,
the game is blown apart before relief
can arrive from outlying points. Then,
when the opening pitcher has been re-
moved, the blokes who follow pitch
their arms off in a vain cause. But, no
matter how brilliantly they act in a
relief capacity, use them TO start some
game, and the boom of heavy artillery
grows deafening before the litter ar
rives to bear their mangled remains
away
Tesreau started yesterdays battle by
passing Meanwhile. Eyers then singled

assist at the plate to double up Collins,
