Commodities "
Cotton

While the cotton market was less
excited yesterday, a tendency to
nervousness and irregularlty was stil'
In evidence. Small stocks available IN
this market were responsible for more
or less anxiety among May shorts, and
that delivery closed Is points higher
The more distant contracts, however
closed from to > points lower, beng
under pressure Of selling for pronts
along with selling for the decline by
operators with bearish inclinations.
The market opened steady at en- ad-
vance of Is to 80 points, influenced by
higher Liverpool cables and unfavor-
able crop conditions east Of the Mis-
sissippi. May contracts sold at 2O.8o'
July at 2O.60 and October at 1927 on
the call, but the advance met good
deal of realizing. Wall Street was
heavy seller. There was some further
selling for Western account, and the
South also seemed to be selling some
cotton here. As prices fell back under
these offerings trading contracted IN
volume.
Private cables attributed the strength
in Liverpool TO Continental buying OF
10th old and new crop months. As the
daylight saving plan became enectiVe
in Liverpool yesterday the market tnete
closed right after the local opening
giving little opportunity for arbltrage
business. Nevertheless. Liverpool was
"a moderate buyer of July and October
during the earlier trading. There was
also buying by spot houses. Exports

snot markets as officially reported were

with a moderate volume Of business.

Big Ban Johnson is opposed to them

The stand taken by Johnson Is that
defeats suffered in the spring take
prestige away from a ball club, and
the interest Of the fans in a team

Last year the Cubs made a big mis-

Tinker got his team back home he

BOYS TRAINING
IN AUSTRALIA
Youthful Boxers Becoming
So Numerous That They
Are Hard to Handle.

The Introduction Of boxing into the
public schools Of Australia by Snowy
Baker has met with so much success
that the promoter Of the big Sydney
stadium IS finding it hard matter to
take care OF the youngsters. As a re-
suit OF all the boxing In schools and
other places there are hundreds of
boys in the lighter classes, whereas a
few years ago it was almost impos-
able 10 find boxers of any class under
the 126 Founders Now they can boast
Of many stars in the flyweight and
bantamWeight classes.
The military authorities have also
taken the matter up and urge the
young men TO follow boxing as It is =
splendid means OF keeping them in con-
dition for military service. Owing TO
the many youngsters taking ~ the
sport. Mr. Baker has arranged 4 new
set OF weights so as 10 give all of
them a chance to take part in the
weekly tournaments At the big stad-

MAJOR PLAYERS
AGAINST COAST
Players Who Train in Cali
fornia Grow Stale Early
According To Pilot.

Indications are that Pacific coast
fans viii see no more of the major
leaguers unless they come east to wit
ness them in action during the regu-
lar playing season
The trip taken 10 the far away
coast thisy ear by the Chicago Cubs
will probably be the last trip Of a ma
jor league club to that part Of the
country, for the expense of taking a
club to California is enormous. and big
league managers have found that long
jaunts do the players more harm than
good.
Fred Mitchell. the Cubs new pilot,
was disappointed over the long ram
bic of the Cubs this spring On his
way home he took occasion 10 say that

bic Than Good Pitchers Is
MANAGERS Belief.

New York. April 10.-Which IS the
most valuable asset TO = bail club-a
great pitcher or great hitter?
Here is a question that may be ar
gued pro and con from morning till
night. and many reasons can be adj
vanced from both ends OF the argu-
ment.
But If you want TO take a salary
basis for it, the argument viii end
in favor of the great hitter. for the
club owners prove it by the salaries

Take the great batters OF the game
Speaker, Cobb. Chase. Wagner, Jack
son and others. Speaker, Cobb and
Wagner have for a number OF years
been the highest salaried players IN the
game, and whenever it comes TO
squeezing the biggest salary out Of
the pocketbOok OF a club owner, the
great offensive player has the best
chance.
The 1nagnates are willing To pay
more money for the offensive star than
they will part with for player whose
main value IS his defensive strength,
for baseball is q game where offensive
playing is the most difficult, and when
ever a player shines above his fellows
in attacking power he can command
the largest salary every tine.
