NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, Aug. 21.-Good
cables and dry weather in the western
belt caused heavy buying Of cotton
around the opening of the market to-
day on which prices were forced up
ward Is to 19 points. While the de-
mand was good, the ring had scanty
offerings with which to meet it. Some
short covering was in evidence.
Bullish private bureau reports on
condition, the official returns show
ing increasing severity of the drduth
in Oklahoma and reports of a suS-
stantial advance in local spot prices
were features which increased the de-
mand. In the trading up to noon,
prices went % to % points over Sat
urday's close.
The marking up of spot quotations
by a quarter of cent a pound gave
the market added strength and in the
trading up to 1:30 prices were lifted
to a net advance of 20 to 81 points.

NEW YORK COTTON.

New York, Aug. 21.-The cotton
market had an active and rather ex-
cited opening this morning, owing to
the strength in Liverpool and renew
ed anxiety over droughty conditions
in the southwest. Near months were
again relatively firm owing to the
comparatively small supply now
available in local warehouses and Oc-
tober made a new high record, selling
at 26 points net higher.
Reactions of or 6 points were fol-
lowed by renewed strength late in the
morning owing to an unfavorable
view of the detailed weather REPORTS
showing only very few showers in
Texas and rather high temperatures
in eastern belt sections. Reports that
one of the prominent crop authori-
ties estimated a decrease of 3.8 per
cent in condition for the first half of
the month may also have contributed
to the advance which carried the ac-
\ tive months about Is to 80 points
higher with October selling at 1850
and January at 14.72 shortly after
midday.
The early afternoon advance car
ried October contracts up to 1853 or
81 points above Saturdays closing
figures, while January sold at 14.75
or 20 points net higher and within 4
points of the best previous record for
the season. Trading then became less
active and prices were 2 or 8 points
off from the best around 2 o'clock, al

CAPT. BLACK NOT DECIDED REGARDING
 RETURN TO YALE

New Haven, Nov. 2s.-With the entire undergraduate body at Yale anxiously waiting to learn whether he will be back next year Captain Clin- ton R. Black of the football team is in a state of delightful uncertainty as to whether he will or not.
 ITO be perfectly frank" said the big captain last night, T don't know any more about it than you do. I certainly want to come and am going to try to persuade my people to allow me to have another year here but ev- eryahing depends on them. I shall not know for some days"
 Captain Black is showing his quail ities in more ways than one just now. After one of the hardest football con- tests in the history of the gridiron sport the fighting captain is turning his attention toward his scholastic work with great zeal
 When interviewed last night he was engaged in study with friends at the Colony It is this capacity of his to be one of the greatest leaders on the gridiron and at the same time keep up a good and respectable stand in his studies which makes him an invalu- able man for the headship of the Yale team.
 It is to be hoped that he will be able to persuade his people to alloy him to come back, as he is practically certain to get the captaincy for an- other year if he does return.

ROSS AND o'HAGAN
 BOUT ATTRACTING ATTENTION OF FANS

The bout between Hugh Ross of this city and Jimmy O'Hagan of AL bany, N. Y., which, is scheduled for Friday night at the Casino, is caus- ing great deal of comment among fight fans. After his fine showing against Champion Al Mccoy and Cowboy Charley Shands, the folks know what Ross can do. O'Hagan is under the management of John Reisler, better known in sporting cir cles as John the Barber" O'Hagan is said to be a slugger and he expects to put Ross away. This bout is scheduled for 15~ rounds and is the star bout of the show.
 In the semi-fnal Frankie Conifrey, the fighting fireman of New York. will mingle with Charlie Pitts, the Australian youngster, who recently joined the Stratford colony These boys fought here last month and gave great exhibition. The bout is slated for 10 rounds Another 10 round affair will have Kayo Moran of this city and Bob Sanders of New York as principals. Sanders is said to be hard hitter but Moran can also hand out few wallops. In the pre- liminary Jeff Began and Young Kill bane' of this city are booked to go

is started in getting the advertise ments for them early in the autumn and sometimes even in the summer but the program gotten out this year Justified all the work done on it. About $2,700 were collected by the university alone from automobile owners for the rent of university park ing spaces for their cars.
 The grand aggregate of the receipts of the Bowl therefore amount to $168,- 729. All of this is by no means profit. To begin with, the erection of the 16,000 temporary seats around tn etop of the Bowl and around the sidelines cost the association in the neighborhood of s14.000;> the pay of the attendants at the game that is ticket takers, heads of portals, off, cials of the parking spaces, and sell ing of programs will be by no means light either. The association fol- lows the policy of paying the attend ants of the big games liberally and by that means help many a self-support- ing student to meet some of his bills
 So, although the profits of the game are large they will not be nearly sc great as the popular imagination usu- ally pictures for itself.

BROWN PREPARES FOR BATTLE WITH
 COLGATE PLAYERS

Providence, R. T., Nov. 28-The Brown football players started their last weeks work for Colgate yesterday afternoon. Thirty-five men reported for the practice and had all the work they could stand. Two teams were lined up, but no regular scrimmage was held. The varsity confined it's attack to using the formation that it used with telling effect on Harvard and Yale, while the second team used Colgate plays and formations.
 Ray Ward, who has been on the in- jured list more than a month. got in- to the practice and worked all after noon. He will in all probability be in the line against Colgate on Thurs day. With the coming around of Ward the entire varsity squad is in condition and ready for the fray with Colgate. Considerable attention was paid to drop kicking this afternoon. Devitalis and Pollard doing most of the work.

.FEATHERWEICH1S
 OF PAST BETTER THEN PRESENT CROP

Johnny Kilbane has demonstrated on occasion that he is a real scrap per, and beyond doubt he is one o. the best of latter-day champions. Al that, the old-time fight fans will tel you that he doesn't begin to compare with the little fellows who battled for the featherweight supremacy ir the vanished days. Ike Weir, Tom. my Warren, English Frank Murphy Australian Billy Murphy, Johnny Grif- fin, "the Braintree Lad;" Jimmy Con nors, Tommy White, "Iron Man" Geo Stddons, Jack Skelly, George Dixon Billy Trimmer, Ben Jordan, >Solly Smith, Dave Sullivan, Terry McGov' ern, Young Corbett-all of these were named to conjure with in the last de- cade of the nineteenth century and the first few years of this.
 In durability Weir, Frank Murphy and Siddons> have had few equals in any division in ring history. Back in 'S9 Weir, ''the Belfast Spider" and Frank Murphy, the English champion. fought an eighty round draw in a lit- tie Indiana town. The same year Sid dons fought Kid Lavigne seventy seven rounds to a draw in Saginaw, and the same boys fought .hfty-five rounds in Grand Rapids little later.
 In the matter of cleverness the lit tie negro, George Dixon, was ahead of them all. Perhaps the only boy who could compare with him in that re- speot was Young Griffo, the Austra- Han. For sheer aggressiveness and fighting spirit, however, the best of them could scarcely compare with Terrible Terry McGovern. Brooklyn's imm ortal little human fighting cock. And that reminds us that to-day is the fifteenth anniversary of McGov- ern's downfall-which was one of the biggest and most surprising upset tings of the dope the ring has ever known.
 It was in Hartford on Nov. 28, 1901, that Terry met his Waterloo. Young Corbett, the Denver boy, a good but not great fighter, was the man who spilled the beans for Terry. And he did it in two rounds. Special trains carried big crowds of fight fans to Hartford from New York, Boston and other cities on that Thanksgiving Day. When the time set for the contest to start had arrived, the Colorado boy went to Terry's dressing room. pound ed on the door, and shouted, "Hi. there, Terry, come on and take your medicine" McGovern was aroused to wild fury, and the second the bell rang he flung himself across the ring. Cor bett was cool. and deliberate; but Me Govern forced the fighting. and that first, round had the concentrated ds- sence of a, hundred rounds in it. Mo- Govern was knocked down in the first chapter, and in the second Corbett put over his right, and Terry went down again. When he was dragged to his corner he was an ex-champion.

BATTLING KUNz
 WINNER OVER FORD

New Haven. Nov. 2S-Battling Kunz of South Norwalk successfully defended his title as lightweight champion of the state by stopping Bunny Ford of this city, in the eighth round of a scheduled 15 round bout before the International A. c. at the Arena last night.
 Ford was completely outclassed by his younger opponent, the local man serving as a veritable target for the champions swinging fists. In the eighth round, Ira Holly, manager of Ford, realizing that his man was in no shape to continue. tossed a towel into the ring as a token of defeat Kunz fought fast and willing fight and is deserving of all the honors that go to the winner.
 The decisive defeat of Ford came as bitter disappointment to his many adherents. It was generally believed beforehand that Ford would be no match for so formidable boy as Kunz, who has been making rapid strides in the pugilistic world during the past year. However, the Ford men all wanted to be declared 'in" on the affair in the event of their favorite executing a successful come back.
 It was apparent from the start of the bout that Ford was counting a, sure defeat. After the second round it was only a question of how long Ford would be able to stand the bombardment.

RECEIPTS OF. HARVARD AND
 YALE CAME WERE $l68, 8,729
Largest Amount Ever Taken at Gate in Annual
 Struggle Between Old Rivals.

New Haven, Nov. 2S-The total re- ceipts Of the Yale-Harvard game were s168,729, according to figures conn piled late last evening by Supt Will liam V. Bedell of the Yale ticket de- partment, who has had charge of the entire distribution of the tickets for the game and the taking in of the money.
 Of course the largest item in the total is the $15S,S00 taken in from the sale of tickets. This alone is larger by about $32,000 than any amount taken in by the Yale authori- ties before. The next largest item is the Red Cross collection. This, of course, does not go to the Yale Ath- letic association, but the collection of it was made possible only by the im- mense number of people getting to- gether for the game. The total of the collection was $8,429.
 The sale of programs netted the association about $3,800. They were sold at 95 cents @ piece, so it can readily be seen how many of them were sold The work of getting them out however, is no light job. Work

RIBBONS TO MEET STAMFORD TONIGHT

In order to gain on the Danbury leaders in the Interstate basketball league the Blue Ribbons need a vic- tory over Stamford at Colonial hall tonight. The locals must display lots of speed to down the visitors, how ever, for Stamford is a dangerous ag- gregation. Joe Dreyfuss. considered by many to be the best player in the league, is with Stamford and so is George Smith. The fans always have a good time hooting at Smith.
 Another local favorite with Stam- ford is Jim Morrison, who played with the Ribbons a few years ago. He and Johnson. one of the best shoot CTS in the game, are on the forward line. White, who missed his train last week. will be on hand to fplay with the Ribbons. Swenson, Jimmy Clinton and the other stars will also be there. The Jolly Five and the Locos will meet in the preliminary. The big game starts at $780,
