The worlds record for effective
pitching is held by a left handler who
looks like a prep school kid and acts
like a seasoned veteran In the pinches.
He has one Of the best fast balls that
ever busted over the plate, superb con-
troll, which 1t took three years to &C
quire, and a record of allowing only
30 earned runs in i40 innings Of big
league pitching.
His name is Schupp.
He was a big factor in winning the
pennant for the Giants this year and a
great aid In their worlds record of 28
straight wins. II past performances
or dope indicate anything at all, this
nervy sensational left handler of Nc
Graw's ought to make worlds series
history when the Giants and White
Sox tear into each other in the Big
Scrap.
schupp is q good example Of what
porsdstency can do for a player. Up
to two years ago his big fault was
wildness. In the first game he ever
pitched for money he gave eight
passes. This was in louisville as a
semi-pro.E In 1912, in 365 innings with
Decatur, he gave 148 passes. Last
year, through sheer persistency, he
acquired such good control that he
innings.
Ferd was born In Louisville, XIV.
Jan. is, 1892. He learned the eamo
In his home town and first attracted
attention as a pitcher when he played
semi-pro ball there. At that time. in
spite Of all his wildness, the amount
Of sheer stuff he toted attracted at
4tention and the Cincinnati Reds got
him but released him without even
seeing him.
Decatur Of the Three-I league gave
MN his first real taste Of '.pro" base
a n he won % games for them
when only 40 years old.

and kept him on the bench in the Nc
GraW school Of bench squatters until
1915, when Ferd pitched So innings
and proved as wild as a hawk. Last
year, however, this young southerner
suddenly blazed forth in sensational
style and set a worlds record for
scoreless twirling..
Series fans who have never seen
Schupp will get a surprise. He's the
youngest looking twirler in the game
and doesn't look nearly as formidable
as his record.
He is brilliant, nervy, cool, Is never
bothered when being hit and holds
runners to first base better than any
pitcher in his league.

NEW YORK. July Is. : The cotton
market had an irregular opening to-
day. with first prices l point higher to
IL lower. Under liberal selling for Liv-
erpool account. October later sold down
to 1916 and December to 1855, or to
10 points under last nights close. Good
buying at this level, partly understood
for trade account, caused alarm among
shorts and quick rallies followed at the
end Of the first half hour, with October
selling back to 24.00 and December to
1888 Early crop news was very con-
fiicting.
Futures opened steady; July. $500:

uary, 1850: March, 23.10.
NEW ORLEANS. July 25.-Irregu-
larity prevailed in the early trading in
cotton here today. Around the opening
call there was loss Of four to eleven
points, after which the market braced
up and went to a net advance of seven
points on October. Other months re-
NAMED point or two under yesterdays
close Opinion was unsettled regarding
weather and crop conditions.
Futures opened steady Opening bids:
July-October 22.77; December, $3.50:
January 22.31: March. 23.02.
Heavy buying developed and ring
gossip was that a large part of it came
from spot interests Japanese spot
firms were said to be large purchasers
of the fall months. The weekly wealth
er and crop reports from the govern
ment were favorable. but were ignored.
At noon the market was so to 50 points
over the level Of yesterdays close.

MUST LIST MORTGAGES
AND DEEDS OF TRUST

Notes secured by mortgages or deeds
of trust on properties in the District
of Columbia must be listed by all per-
sons owning them in their personal
tax returns.
This is the substance of a ruling to-
day by Corporation Counsel Syme Inc
matter was brought up by assessor
Richards. who stated thai several per-
sons have failed to make such returns
on the advice of the trust company
or savings institution from which thes
purchased the notes.
Mr.. Syme's ruling is that such notes
are exempt only when they are in the
possession of and belonging to the
bank, trust company or savings insti-
tuition by which they have been dis
counted or to which they have been
negotiated. TIE exemption ceases when
they become the property of any per-
son or corporation other than the SAID
institutions. They then become tax
able.
Wednesday, August l. is the last day
that personal tax returns may be made
before the 20 per cent penalty clause
becomes operative. After that date,
the board of tax appraisers will make
it's own assessments on unreturned ac-
counts and apply the penalty provided
by law

ARMY UNITS WILL Be
! PUT ON FRENCH BASIS

Following reports from Gen. Per-
fehing and other American army officers
ian France, the War Department has
Ynecided TO reorganize certain units of
4 the United States Army to conform to
She French military system
Under the present regulations an
fAmerican regiment of infantry is
tOomposed of twelve line companies of
lou men each. a machine gun company
Sof seventy-four, a supply company Of
tfhirty-seven. sanitary company of

tnents OF infantry.
The typical field artillery brigade
consists of a headquarters and three
Arguments of field artillery. The typical
quarters. three infantry brigades, a
tTegiment of cavalry, a regiment of en-
sEineers and one brigade Of field artil-
Jerry. besides signal battalion, air squad
tfon, ammunition supply, engineer and
iGanitary trains.
Under the proposed reorganization
each regiment will consist of 1000 en-
listed men. In the regiment there will

accompanies Of $50 men each Each of
sthese companies will be divided into
sections of grenadiers, fusilliers and
smachine gun men.
1t is the exact composition of these
companies that is guarded as a secret
( The proposed reorganization con-
templates two regiments to brigade
fdnstead OF three. and two brfgades in
jBtead of three to a division Cavalry
land artillery will probably be organ
s1zed into brigades and divisions of their
Town, thus eliminating the typical tao
ttical division of the American army az
1t now stands. Divisions will be formed
eon the basis of about 1900 men in
sstead of having $4,000 men as ct pres
zent.
The principal reason ascribed for the
tchange is that American troops are ex-
Hpected to occupy trenches alternately
with French troops. Unless the units
SyAre in the same size confusion would
Neesult from the interchange.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS

CHICAGO, July 25.-Favorable wealth
er conditions and a general improve
ment of crop reports led to noticeable
increase of bearish sentiment today as
to corn. Enlarged rural offerings
counted also al factor in easing down
prices Notice. too. was taken of the
fact that for the first time in history
this country had received a shipment
of corn from Venezuela. with promise
of much more to come. Opening quo
tations. which ranged the same as
yesterdays finish to y lower at 1884
September and LA to 1.14A December.
were followed by substantial declines
all around.
Optimistic estimates Of the spring
crop yield in the Dakotas and Mime
sofa tended to send wheat prices down
ward After opening IL lower at
223h September. the market under
went a material additional sag.
Oats sympathiZed with the WEAKNESS
Of corn. Buying on the part of in
dustries, however. checked declines.
Provisions were strengthened by as
sertions that the Belgian relief COM
mission was inquiring for liberal
amount Of lard and backs.
The weekly weather report was con-
sidered rather favorable, but had little
effect on the market. It's strength was
mainly due to the steady demand for
October which advanced that position
30 points over January. 1t sold up to
