At home they are popular because
they are keeping in the first division.
But they are popular everyplace

to produce base hits, real ringing
crashes which bring the fans out Of
their seats.
It's the base hits that count and the
Reds are catching in oo them. t

Hides, .Pelts, Wool, Etc.
Review Of the Market by The Redicl
Hide & Fur co.

HIDES: The hide market has suf-
fered a severe slump and prices are
quoted from 8 to 4c per pound lower.
Our prices herewith are nominal and
may be too high. The cause Of the
decline is given as large stocks Of for
eign and domestic hides on hand and
a poor leather business. No. country
hides are used by the government for
war orders.
WOOL: The market is steady to
firm and good lots, are still bringing
high prices.
TALLoW: The market is slow but
prices are well maintained and good
stock is bringing full prices. Z
PELTS: Pelts are in good demand
and. bringing high prices especially
those with long wool.
RAW FURS: It is yet too early for
prices on furs. Do not catch n
fur bearing animal until late in Octo-
Der and better yet wait until Novem-

New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, July 30.-After a session
of more or less unsettled trading, the
cotton market here firmed up today on
the close went to a net advance of %
to 26 points and ended 10 to % points over
Saturdays last prices. The firmness APP
peared to be the result of drive
against the shorts. Buyers found little
for sale.
In the early session the tone was ner-
vous and there was much evening up in
preparation for the government report
on condition Wednesday. On the opening
prices were 9 to IL points up on peace
talk and the drouth in Texas, but the
market broke sharply on bearish predic-
tons regarding the coming condition
figures, landing at a level points under
the close of last week. The forecast of
continued dry weather in Texas resulted
in renewed buying, and, later in the day,
market comment reflected more con-
servative ideas regarding the percentage
of condition. A full recovery to the
highest levels was brought about and
in the last half hour of business special
orders appeared which caused buying
pressure which had quick and marked
effect.
The receipt of new bales in Georgia
and reports of a liberal movement of
new cotton in Texas were against the
market at times and helped to give it an
unsettled feeling.

SPLENDID MATCHES
IN "Y TOURNEY
Second Round Witnesses
Some Fast and Close
Play

The second round of the city Y. NJ
C A. tournament was played yesterday
Afternoon and some splendid matches
were staged. One of the unique fea-
lures Of the days play was the elimipa-
ton of the Blake family. they We're
unfortunate in all of their matches.
Carroll Blake, Jr was defeated by
Jacobs in the morning match by the
score of 6-2, 6-1.
One of the prettiest matches was
played between orton Blake and
Hewitt Smith. Blake had just defeated
Smith in the tennis center champion
ship and there was great deal Of
friendly rivalry between the youus-
sters. Smith went after his opponent
from the start and never gave him an
opportunity to reach the net. His
drives were fast and placed with dead
" accuracy. The first set went to
Smith, 61. Blake made a strong fight
in the second set but ne was cratic
and could not get going. The second
set went tos Smith by the score of 6-4
Sparks and Brooks finished their
match. which was left over from Sat-
urday and Brooks was returned an
easy winner. Brooks is just beginning
to show some of the skill that has
made him the most spectacular player
in the state. He defeated Sparks by his
superiority at working his returns near
the side lines. Jacobs get into fast COM
pany when he took on r. D. Johnston.
who was runner up in the Cotton
States tournament of last year. The
youngster put up game fight in the
first set but was out classed by his OPP
ponent. Score, ga SO.
The dope received an awful jolt when
young Harrison defeated Carroll Blake.
Blake was clear off form and Harrison
took advantage of every opportunity
His drives were always in and he
would follow them TO the net. This
young star will bear watching. Cum
minis beat Sapinska, 60, 7-5. Winners
by default, Simpson over Bevill, La
than over Bruce. McWane over Wor-
ford.
Matches today: Brooks plays Smith
at court near building at p. M;

crop outlook and the settlement Of the

was at no time a market factor and
metals were seemingly Indifferent to an
other advance in the price of high

amount payable from this center was
roughly estimated at S2s, 900, 900. Call
