No Thunderstorm Expected.

Although a local thunderstorm may
be forthcoming on account of the heat.
weather bureau officials do not look for
one now, and pin their hopes, along
with other heat-weary residents Of
Washington, to the faint breeze which
stirred this morning. and which is
promised to come in from the north
west somewhat more strongly tonight
or tomorrow.
AS slight as the breeze was this

MITCHELL DISPLEASED WITH
WORK OF CUBS ON TRIP

WORK OF CUBS ON IRlP
BY Mark Shields
Crossing the hot sands toward
basebaIPs mecca, Manager Fred
Mitchell is verbally smuggling some of
his noble athletes and commenting in
no complimentary terms on the way
they play the game Too many
thOughtless plays have been made
on the coast to put the pilots mind at
ease and he realizes the magnitude
of the task ahead in hammering
teamwork into the players.
Mitch is not pleased with Califor-
MIA as a training camp, declaring the
weather has been too chilly for the
men to round to form without fear
of injuries. To this drawback must
be added a top-heavy card Of exhibit
ton games that did considerably
more harm than good to the play,
ers and also failed to line the cash
box.
1t is probable that in 1918, if
Mitchell remains as manager, he will
demand a say in the training plans,
and the directors of the club, if they
are alive to their best interests, will
let Mitchell have the final word,
thinking more of the ultimate cOndi-
ton of the team than Of the adver-
Using value of a hippodrOme per
Torrance.
Were the league season to start to-
morrow the Cubs would be in the
worst possible way. Probably no
other club in either circuit is as poor
~ conditioned, and certainly no 9TH
er team laments the same number Of
injuries to star men.-This despite the
fact that the locals have been at their
training stunts longer than any other
club in the majors.
, Numerous bone plays were pulled
on the coast. This was largely due
to the fact that Mitchell was using a

too strenuous exhibition schedule.
Nothing else could be expected
where there were not enough vet
Grams to balance the combination.
Mann is again ready for duty and
the outfeld will again resemble a
regular affair, with Les, WOlter, Viii
liams and Flack taking their eXer-
else in the gardens. The irst-named
three seem to have the managers
eye for the regular positions.
But the infield is still in dire straits.
Doyle should have a few more days
rest, but with Yerkes out, Deal i'll
and Workman still Iimping, Larry is
needed to complete the. required nine
men. Deal wasn't lifted at San Fran
cisco because he played bad ball. He
was sick In all his experience the
new third baseman has been classed
as a smart ballplayer.
Today the Cubs, after an enerVat-
ing train ride of more than "A hours,
display in Miami, Ariz., where the
temperature hovers around 100.
They make a night train jump and
repeat in another tank town tOmOr-
row under the, same conditions. Hot
weather is needed, but to jump from
a cool climate into a furnace and set
right out on a hard grind is only an
other example of the arrangement Of
the present Cub training trip.
Joe jackson is out of the White
Sox lineup, but his absence is mere

COTTON MARKET
 WAS VERY NERVOUS
Uncertainties of War Situa- tion Show Effect During
 Yesterdays Session

New York December 6-The cotton market showed continued nervousness and irregularity during today's trading. After selling at 8.75e January broke to 2s.S7c and closed at 2s.54c, compared with 2s. 45c at the close last night The gen. eral list closed very steady at a net advance of 5 to 26 points.
 The opening was steady at an advance of 2T to 32 points on a renewal of the trade buying which had been in prog ress at the close yesterday, and in sym was enough realizing and reactions of 15 or 20 points right after the call, but offerings were very well taken, owing to the bullish average of southern spot ad- vances. and the continued buying by spot house brokers. There was also covering by December shorts following reports that notices for another 800 bales had been stopped, and that delivery led the late forenoon rally to 294sc for De- cenlber and 2S47c for March, or about 30 to 4S points above last nights clos
 ing on active months. Demand seemed then to taper off and the market soon weakened under renewed liquidation and local pressure which had the encourage ment of larger private ginning figures. Sentiment also seemed to be unsettled by the uncertainties of the political or war situation and for time prices sold off rapidly to 2902c for December and s. .05c for March, This carried January and later deliveries about ' to II points net lower, but the more urgent offerings seemed to have been absorbed on a scale down with last prices showing rallies of several points on renewed covering.
