r" This sounds fine, but to

Mig This sounds fine, but to
al the real pith of tn ematter, let u
paraphrase it thus; Cotton to the
Teutons should be retiored, con-
trcilcd. This will cut down the de-
n,and, and New England and Eng
land can buy cheaper of the pro-
ducers in the South" Let the South
90 to the apostles of the gospel of
frightfulness and say, "No cotton
till the needs of New England and
England are fully met at prices pro-
fitless to the producers, but profit
able to the manufacturers
In other words, the cotton produc-
ers of the south are to fight the Ger
mans with one hand. while they hand
over their goods to New England and
England with the other. The enthusl-
asm of the manufacturers in behalf
of liberty, fraternity and equality is
truly touching. But where does the
conference which is to convene with
open mind to study all interests alike
appear in this propaganda?
The producers may at least
thank Mr.. Whittam for emphasizing
certain facts, though they would
draw different lesson from these
facts He informs US that for a num-
Der of years the world consumption
of cotton has increased at the ap-
proximate rate of 100000 oales
wear, which requires an increase OF
acreage of about 100000 acres
wear and of laborers to the number
of 10000 during the cotton season.
The producers do not intend to IN
crease their acreage in the South
They think the way to stop being a
! "crybaby" is to cut down the acre
age. AS to the increase Of 10000
pickers year, we see no sign OF
any intention to- begin importing
slaves again, and we do not see
where these additional 10000 pick
ers are to come from. Mr.. Whittam
! suggests that immigration will fill
the need. We wonder whether he In
tends to stand on the Statue of Lib
erty in New York and drive back the
5000 immigrants returning weekly
to Europe and head them to the cot
ton fields of the South.
$50 far as cotton is concerned,
says Mr.. Whittam, 'we in America
hold the master hand, albeit South
ern senator's and congressman would
seemingly throw the ace OF trumps
into the discard" This statement is
fairly accurate. 1t should be amend
ed thus: $50 far as cotton is con-
icerned, the big brokers, the New
England and English manufac-
turers, are the bear anunipulat-
tors, hold the master hand, al
though, the Southern producers and
their friends intend to throw this an
tiquated system of control into the
discard. Watch them do it.
Personally, the writer of this com
munication believes that the New
England spinners should endeavor to
understand the situation and the tenn
;per of the producers. He hopes this
pamphlet was an oversight

FOURTH INNING
 AGAIN PROVES
 TURNING POINT

Cincinnati, Oct. 3-The Cincinnati Beds frightened their grasp on the worlds series flag yesterday by de- feating the Chicago White SoX 4 to 2. AS they also won the opener they need but three more games to land the series.
 Cincinnati has developed in the brief period of the series a habit of ''celebrating the Fourth There is nothing patriotic about it, for in this victory-mad town the Fourth means an inning, and not a holiday The game yesterday was safely stow ed away in the fourth inning, and when that inning arrived yesterday the fans emitted a roar in demand of an encore.
 In a measure the Cincinnati bats men responded, but the person who really took the demand to himself, apparently, was Claude Williams. He passed three batsmen and three SCOT ed. An aviator flew close to the grandstand roof at this stage of the proce dings, but if he was looking for Williams, a wit in the press stand re- marked he flew altogether too low. From wher Williams foated the 34 story Insurance building looked like a speck on the landscape.

CINCINNATI FANS GLOAT
 OVER TRIUhaPH OF REDS
Parade Streets Cheering Wild for Pat Moran and His Merry Men-Say National Leaguers
 Can't Be Stopped.

Cincinnati, Oct 3-It was a gloat- ing city that awOke yesterday morn ing on the banks of the river former Iy known as the Rhine It's first thought, as it stirred in it's 100000 beds and opened it's eyes, was that something marvelously pleasant had happened Its second thought was a realization Of what that something was. Then the gloating began in earnest.
 There was no gloating after the first game; at least. gloaring was hardly the word for it- There was triumph and noise; much noise in the city's streets and within the city's dwellings. There were parades with brooms or canes as arms, and puffy stuffed dummies on extemporized biers doing duty as the corpse of Ci- cOtte Or of the White SOX team. There were shouts and counter shouts and changing bells and concerted and unconcerted shriehs of joy, but Gin cinnati was ot yet calm enough to gIoat properly.
 A great city all agloat is an inn pressive sight. even if slightly an moving to a rank outsider whose con cern about the outcome of the world s series is sadly impaired by the fact

OFFERS OF ODDS CAN'T GET S0X
 BETTORS GOING

New York, Oct. 3-The shock was fateful fourth inning were waited in to New York yesterday afternoon, those who had been planning their dollars on the chances of Kid Glea- sons American League champions were suddenly engulfed in a tidal wave of silence They had absolutely nothing to say. Last night when the enticing odds of 1 1-2 to 1 were of fered by the takers of wagers there wasn't a sign of a Chicago fan. It was just as if the earth had opened and swallowed them up. Perha ps they wished it had. Twice in the same place! With Eddie Cicotte and Claude Williams the two stars upon whom the supporters of the White Sox had counted to lead them to vic tory and opulence, both crushed by the vicious hickories of the Cincin- nati Reds, there was little Chica- goan could offer in rebuttal, especi- ally in a monetary way.
 The mere mention of dollars was distressing to him He didn't want to hear about it. The mild but nev- ertheless audible chortle of the Gin cinnati rooter was his T told you so' and his distressing display of wealth was too much for even a man from the Windy City. It semed but a few short hours ago when nothing but White SoN money was in evidence It looked as if all the hints in the country hao suddenly been moved to the home of the Sox that nothing but Chicago money was being coined. But two defeats caused the followers of Eddie Collins Eddie Cicotte and Lefty Williams to subside. There was no chance for them to hedge. There was nothing left for them to do but wager on the outcome of the remaining in dividuaI games of the series In this respect odds of 9 to 10 and take your pick were quoted.
 Even under those conditions Chi cago fans were not liberal; that is they showed no pronounced incIina- ton to shake their purses to loosen the few remaining dollars left in the deep recesses of their coffers. Since Cicotte and Williams couldn't stop the Reds, they were lOath to believe that Dick Kerr, the diminutiVe south paw who showed such impressive form toward the close of the regular season. would be able to stem the onward sweep of the National Leaguers.

WORLDS SERIES GAMES.

It is not surprising that worlds series baseball draws such enormous crowd, and such prices are paid for seats, when you reflect what a spec tacle it is. It is worth the money.
 The display of human skill, the amazing. speed and accuracy with which these fellows handle a ball, the marvellous alertness with which they gather in hot and irregular bouncing grounders, indicate a control of 1erves and muscles that would be inn possible for more than one man in a million.
 Of course worlds series ball de- velops some bonehead plays. Some fellows simply buckle mentally under the strain, and do things that you would not see in a lot of the High school games. But as a rule the players are a cool and self-restrained type, who have learned that you never play better by worrying. And you can't help adrniring men that by per- sistent training and head work have acuired such mastery of the thing they set out to do.

FAIRY WAND IS EASY WINNER IN
 JAhaAICA RACE

New York, Oct - Clifford A. Cochran's fleet but fractious Fairy Wand sprung one of the real sur prises of the Autumn racing season at Jamaica yesterday when she fairly gaIloped through 9 sea of mud to win ridicuIously easy victory over J. E. Widener's great handicap racer, Nat uralist. This occurred in the running of the October Handicap at a mile which brought only these two to the post, and Fairy Wand was so much better than the son of Rabelais that she had three lengths to spare at the finish.
 This victory was a shock to the form players, accustomed as they had become to upsets since the bad weather set in. for Naturalist with his great record for this season was regarded as almost a sure thing. He was supposed to be especially favor ed by the condition of the track, and the impost of 13O pounds was not above what he was accustomed to carrying. He was so well regarded that he was made a l to favOrite and it was not until Fairy Wand had scampered under the wire that the majority of those who had braved a nasty day realized that the de- feat of the Widener horse under the conditions was possible.

SALLEE SERVED UP 80 BALLS
 WILLIAMS 1O9

Cincinnati, Oct 5-The compilation of the balls pitched by the opposing twirlers in the Reds second world s series victory here yesterday after noon disclOses that Claude Williams worked hard with his good left arm in an effort to avert disaster for the Sox. All told, a total of 197 balls were served to batters during the afternoons pastime. Of this num- Der Williams served the Reds 109, while Slim SaIlee, working with all the confidence and ease of a tried and true veteran, sent up SS sIauts, hooks, curves, drops and shoots to the aspiring Sox.
 Saliee had his easiest time in the fifth and eighth innings. In these two rounds the slim Iigginsport Sheriff disposed of the Sox at ah ex- penGiture in effort which was meas ured by seven pitched balls In the second SalIee sent the Sox back after pitching eight balls to the plate. Williams went through his easiest inning in the Reds half of the seventh when the National League champions were retired on seven pitched balls.
 The heaviest session of toll for Williams was in the Reds fourth in ming, which has come to be accepted as the teams great session In this frame the Sox twirIer served up a total of 28 balls, which the Reds were jumping to their victorious lead. This was more than twice the num- Der of balls pitched by SaIIee in any inning. In the fifth Williams again was forced to toll long and hard, when he served up a total of 21 port side offerings, and in the sixth the SoX twirler was forced to serve IS pitched balls.

Al Roberts Likely
 to Get Surprise In
 Bout With Weinert

New York, Oct, Al Roberts, the Staten Island knockout king, may be put to the acid test when he swaps punches with Charley Weinert, in one of four star eight-round bouts, at the Newark Sportsmen's club, Oct. 13.
 Roberts has been slamming h-s way to recognition in the heavy weight division, and he is accounted to be one of a few good men in this class.
 If he is any good he will have to show it against Weinerr. The latter has been inactive for several months due to illness. Several years ago Weinert was as popular as Roberts is

They leaned on cigar store counters and sang paeans cr bliss in duet with the dealer. They stood upon street corners, smiling aimlessIy and an answering grin was the signal for conversation which had but a single theme.

S1O,0OO Yearling Is Winner At Jamaica
 on 50 to 1 Shot

New York, Oct. 3-From a S10, 900 yearling to $500 platter as a four year-oId is some jump in money, but the above summaries the financial side of Mackenzie, son of Meelick- Gay and Festive, which cost the Canadian sportsman of that name, R. J. Mackenzie, the first mentioned sum in 1916. The youngster went wrong as a two-year-old and started nine times last year without getting in the money.
 Wednesday marked his thirteenth appearance under the colors and his fourth win this year, when he annex ed premiere honors in metropolitan company at a mile and a sixteenth over the Jamaica track at the re- munerative odds of as good as 50 to l.
 Mackenzie made his first appear ance of the season at Bowie on April and was just nosed out of the money. Four days later, however, he took the track and won with this marking his initial victory. Twice after that at a couple of .'bush" tracks, Hagerstown and Clarksburg. he again earned brackets, with the speed which he showed then war ranting his then owner, M. Williams.

 It was not however, until yester- day that he was matched up with a field from which he could take the track" and this he did with a ven geance when he showed a brand of early foot which could not be ap- preached by any of the other platers against which he Was arrayed. The apprentice, F. Weiner, who had the mount only had to tie himself on and let the horse go his way, with the result that the unexpected happened when Mackenzie lasted long enough to win from War Note, which in turn beat the favorite, Basilius.
 M Williams, who trains the horse has been insistent for nearly two months past that he had a horse which was able to win just such g race as yesterdays, and so keen has he been for the ''wherewith" to cellar up on his breadwinner that the chances are that the man in whose name and colors the horse ran be came a horse owner for a song ! with the further likelihood that he with Williams, "got enough'' to pay ! for the winters coal as well as plenty of feed for the one time $1O,OOt youngster in the bargain.

 Promoter Dave NIackey announced yesterday the completion of his card, which is as follows: Al Roberts vs. Charley Weinert; Bantamweight Champion Pete Herman vs. Harold Farese; Willie Jackson vs. Tommy Tuohey, and Johnny Dundee vs. Joe Benjamin.
 Dundee may receive a surprise from Benjamin, Benny Leonard's stable mate. He is supposed to be a hard hitter, clever and a good fnisher. Benjamin comes from San Francisco. He was discovered there by Billy Gib- son two years ago when he took Leonard to the Coast.

HAPPY FELSH HOLDER 0F NEW

Chicago, Oct. 3-Oscar Happy Felsch, who plays centerfeld for the White Sox against the Cincinnati Reds, is the holder or a new record for major league center feIders. On June 20, 1919. while the White Sox
 were playing Cleveland, Happy ac- cepted twelve chances without a slip. i Eleven of his chances were flies and one an assist
 Jimmy SlagIe, while playing right l field for the Chicago Nationals, in 1 1897, made twelve putouts, and this i is the record for all outhelders, as far | as putouts are concerned.
 ! In 1877, Schafer, who played right Held for the Braves, had seven put ! outs and four assists and Hornung. 1 left fielder for the same club, gather ] ed ten putouts and one assist in 1881. !

 Eighty dollars for basebaus for | each game played in the Worlds Ser | ies! That sounds pig, but neverthe- l less, that is approximately what it
 will cost to furnish the principal item 1 for the baseball classic this year. As in other things, the high coss 1 has hit basebaIIs, which now bring i $20 a dozen. It is estimated rour 1 dozen balls will be used in each
 game. On this basis, if it is decided l to play nine games in the series, and
 1t becomes necessary to run the en- i tire string, before the winner is de- cided, it will cost close to S1,UuU for i balls alone.
 The reason that so many are used is because balls fouled into the
 stands or crowd are seldom returned. 1 During an ordinary game however most of the balls which leave the i playing field, find their way back i Manufacturers blame increased prices paid for materials and the high cost of labor for the present price
