National Capital would be one Of the
cities to submit a bid for the staging Of
the next match for the worlds title.
While the awarding Of these cue clas-

more than confident that the offer which

any Of the others. thereby assuring the

Eastern High Will play Western today
at American League Park at S:1b In what
should prove to be one Of the hottest con-
tested games Of the series.
Almost as much rivalry exists between
these two schools as between Central and
Tech. This game Is considered the big
gest game for both schools and another
banner crowd is expected II the weather
permits.
A win for Eastern will put II on an
even basis with its rival, Western. who
has defeated Tech Il to and lost to Gem

games so far. losing to Tech, to g. In
q hard-fought game, outplaying its heavier
and more experienced opponents all the
way. She also lost to Business in her last
start, Il to o.
Both teams seem to be well matched in
every respect. Eastern has the heaviest
line Of the two, while Westerns back field
IL the heaviest.
In Capt. Cummings Eastern has one Of
the best defensive ends seen IN the series
50 far and little Thomas, the smallest
man In the series, Is more than holding
his own at quarter. but will not be In to-
days game on account of q bad knee.
Leo F1aherty will not play because Of =
bad looking leg.
In O'Brien Western has the best quar-
ter In the series, using his head at all
times. Capt Willis has ben one Of the
best tackles In the series 50 far.
Taking everything into consideration to-
days game should be hard-fought from
beginning to end, as both teams have
been working hard for the battle.

TRUXTONS TO PLAY
HYATTESVILLE ELEVEN

Owing to the rain and failure Of the
Highland team to appear Sundays game
scheduled between that team and the
Truxton Athletic Club was postponed un-
til some future date. The Truxton team
will travel to Riverdale Sunday to play
the strong Hyattsville eleven. This should
prove a hard battle for the visitors, as
the Hyattsville team has been going at
great clip this year.
The fact that the Truxton team has not
been scored on this season should make
this game interesting as Burns, Mcmahon
and Johnson. of the Truxtons, have
proved themselves three of the best men
on the defense and offense seen in action
on any 1S5-pound team in the city this
year.
The Truxton Athletic Club would like to

INDICATION OF FURTHER
STORMS SENDS COTTON UP
Professional Operators and Southern
Interests Buyers

NEW YORK. July IA firm tone was
displayed on the Cotton Exchange this
morning and prices were to 10 points
higher, being influenced by comparatively
favorable cables and indications of further
storms in the South.
Professional operators and southern in
terests were buyers, while commission
houses sold. Wall street interests operated
on both sides. The consumption report of
$4,000 bales was about in line with eX-
peCtations and virtually all the comment
around the ring was about the weather as
storm warnings have been ordered put out
along the south Atlantic coast.
II was pointed out that the trade was
now facing the possibility of two storms In
the belt. one tropical from the Caribbean.
After the call there was some pressure and
prices fell to points, but at this level
there was good support in evidence
Liverpool cables were good, prices being
unchanged to | point lower. They were
due to come ! to 2la points off. The tone
was steady, although oply small amount
OF business was transacted.
Scattered rains were reported in the cot
ton belt generally in the central and EASTERN
districts. A storm was centred around
Charleston, with low barometer Of 29.46%
Temperatures continued normal
The receipts Of cotton at the ports for the
day were estimated at 10000 bales com-
pared with 1857 bales last week. 7025
bales last year and 524l bales in 1914.
