ment at several sectors of the big
league fighting front, and Managers
Rowland of the Sox and Tinker of
the Cubs are two active gents.
A big deal may be announced from
Cub headquarters today, according
to rumors. Tinker is said to have
fixed deal with Jimmy Callahan of
the Pirates, and it was approved by
Barney Dreyfuss. Now the o. K. of
Charley Weeghman is needed.
So far as can be learned, only one
man figures in the transaction, and
he is Cub, one of the stars of the
team. Speculation as to the identity
of the individual is free, but remem-
Der that Tinker is well supplied with
high class men in the Outfeld and be-
hind the bat. 1t may be man. from
one of these divisions.
1t will hardly be pitcher worth
while, as Tinker has no more than
enough. His roster is well supplied,
numerically, but it is not an alright
aggregation, numbering several men
who are only ordinary, even when at
their best.
The Sox deal, if it goes through,
will be completed in New York at the
schedule meeting of the American
League, which begins Thursday.
Manager Rowland and President Co
miskey are both figuring on taking
the trip. A third baseman is still
badly wanted, and Commy is willing
to give up his coin to close deal.
Frank Baker is on the market, and
Connie Mack recently made the sig
nificant statement that the only bid
worth considering that had beenmade
for the services of the slugger came
from the White Sox ownership.
Anyway, we are spending our time
talking about the athletes, even if
nothing comes of it, and that is not
as great waste of breath as discus

The famous experts of the Pacific

eve of the tournament the leaders ap-

there is no outstanding favorite for

This trophy, the eighth offered since

COTTON TOPPED
OVER IS CENTS IN
THE MARKET HERE
he farmer is a happy soul these

The farmer is a happy soul these
days.
The local cotton market registered
steady at 15c during Saturday, while
some of the sales went over the cher
ished price. 1t was new sight for
this section of the country-in fact, it
takes an old inhabitant among the cot
ton growing states to remember the
time when cotton sold for 15c at this
season of the year-when the first
crop is being gathered.
The local market was quoted late
yesterday afternoon Good middling,
Is LAC; fully middling, 15c, and mid
ding IA 3-4c.
The cotton seed market steadied it
self around the price of $37 ton in
Americus.
Americus witnessed a large number
of receipts and the tendency displayed
everywhere was to sell as quickly as it
could be placed on the market.
Opinions vary as to the reason fo,'
the rising futures market. Some in
.sist that it is ride before a fall, .
willie many contend that the price and
steady increase is in keeping with the
short crop and an extraordinary de-
mand. In any event, the market has
been exceptionally steady with few
nervous tremors during its remarkable
stealthy creep from around 12c to the
price of better than 15c.
Sumter county is the toast of the en-
tire state in comparison with other
sections, so the reports come to Amer
icus. Although the crops of this coun-
ty and immediate section suffered from
the incessant rains of several weeks
ago, the damage here was far less than
in other sections of the state and the
cotton growing section.
The farmers are rushing every vail
able pound to the markets, and their
smile is happy smile with Old King
Cotton crowning herself with glory at
price better than 15c.

Adams, an Atlanta woman, is held by
the authorities charged with the mur
der of Captain Edgar j. Spratling, of
Company K, Fifth regiment of Geor-

The remains of Captain Spratling
were sent to Atlanta and burial will
take place in Opelika, Ala.
Mrs. Maud Monk, the new woman
whose name is connected with the
killing of Captain Stripping, is well
known in Americus, where she was a
notorious character. In her early
childhood she lived in the city, leaving
here in her teens She came back
later and her reputation was very
questionable.
