CorbeH's Daily Letter
 On Great Sport Topics
By JAMES J. CORBETSr

A verbal broadside at professional boxing recently was delivered by the Marquis of Queensbury son of the man who framed the rules that govern the sport today anG who was the most con- spicuous devotee of boxing since the game began.
 The son of the celebrated sportsman, who inherited his fathers title, loves sports of every kind, except profos- sional boxing. And this is what he ha d 10 say concerning ,he ring game dur ing recent brief visit in the United States
 There is no sportsmanship in pro- fessiola. rusiiism at the present time. The game apparently is in the hands of certain cliques which include men whose sole interest in the sport IS financial They aren't involved in box ing because it is a sport. They are ln It for the money that can be made rom it. They care nothing about boxing except L |, use it as a medium to enrich themSelves.i
 If the profess ional boxing game in America was controlled by men who loved the spcrt as it tshould be loved, the game never would have, come upon evil days Men who care for it from 8 sporting viewpoint would have seen to it that every element intended to de- grade it was kept out. They would have fought against the very evils that have been injected into it.
 "The professional fighters thefn- selves are moved solely by the conner . cial spirit. They don't fight for the love of the sport, nor do they fight. be- cause boxing is a splendid exercise and will afford entertainment for thousands. Those fellows will battle only after they have squeezed out ev- cry possible dollar as pay for their ef- forts. But they would not be so bad if it wern't for the fact that many of the fighters in this country that I have seen secure their money under what may be termed false pretenses.
 'I have witnessed bouts in the United States and most of them have disgusted me- There is so much stall ing, so much clinching and so much in- activity that it must disgust every lover of pugilism who knows how

BARONS ID PLAY
 PRACTICE GAME
Moley's Men and Pirates to Battle at Redwood
 Today

The Barons spent the Sab
 bath day nursing aching
 muscles and swathing their
 bruises in liniments. It's eve thus in the first week of traln-
 ing season, but in a few days
 everybody will be hard as nails.
 The first practice game of the spring
 will be pulled off between Moley's men | and the Pirates today sometime | around the noon hour. Moley will use l three of his kid pitchers and will place his infield as follows: First Base-Bernsen. Second Basc-McDonaId. ShrortstOp-RailIcy. Third Base-Webb. Peters, Haworth and Hairston Will each get a turn behind the bat, catch ing about three innings per. In the gardens Moley will probably use Brashier, Ellis and one of the Kids. The Baron manager is anxious to see his tentative team work in practice game
 If they display the goods against major league hurling they will more than likely hit well when facing South ern league hurlers. Inasmuch as Slap nicka is the only known quantity in the Birmingham pitching corps, Moley is somewhat worried over this depart ment.
 Should Glazner and Cofffndaffer re- port within the next two weeks, how ever, Baronial hopes will blossom like unto the sElberta bush in March.

STECHER'S STAR AS
 WRESTLER WANING
Sailor Joe Tumbles From Front Rank Among Mat Men in Few
 Weeks

Events are moving with startling swift ness in the wrestling game. So sudden have been the shifts in the past few weeks that Joe Stecher has tumbled from the front rank of the heavyweight cham pionship contenders, and it is believed that he will shortly announce his re tirement from the game
 The Nebrasllan sustained three defeats in two weeks recently, when he lost q decision to Wladek Zbyszko in Sioux City, then was thrown by Stransler Lewis in Chicago, and again lost to Zbyszko, being thrown twice by the giant Pole in Kansas City.
 With Earl Caddock seemingly out of the running and Stecher relegated to the second division of the mass of contend CTS, the situation narrows down to a choice between two or three men,

Weekly Cotton Review
By Associated Press


 New Orleans, March 30.-Owing chiefly to the depressing influence of world poli- tics, cotton was held below the closing level of the preceding week during the whole of last week, standing at the low est at a net loss of 122 to 152 points in new contract, May traded at 22.9Sc and closing at a net loss of 50 to 62 points. Better weather over the cotton region and on the weekend and rather bearish statistics were additional depress- ing influences.
 The weakness of foreign exchange caused much comment of bearish na- ture in the early sessions of the week and later the dull and easy tone of cot ton goods markets was not well received. At the same time the market was steadied at the decline and given few periods of steadiness by the continued reports from the belt, 'indicatng.a determination to reduce acreage in the drastic man ner. The announcement ~ the removal of the blockade on GermanAustria helped to steady the market, but taking the week as whole the news from Paris was against values.
 This week it is likely that more thar ever the political situation will be the governing influence and the t3Hssc of prices probably will be swayed more by what comes from Paris than by news from any other direction. At the same time the new planting season is now being entered and what goes on in the cotton region must be of increased inn portance especially since the interior claims that farmers are determined to carry through the acreage reduction pro- gramme. Continued favorable weather would be an advantage to the bear side. in spite of this, because of the argu- ment that weather conditions during the growing season are more important, rela- lively speaking than is the acreage. Un- favorable weather on top of the reduc- ton talk would give the long side de- cided advantage.

Although Kid Elberfeld, the tabasco leader of the Arkansas Razor backs, hash t yet arrived : in the pebble village, baseball gossip is beginning to hum among Little Rock fandom. The Travellers will report for
 spring training tomorrow. The kid has salvaged about half . dozen good ball players from the wrecks of his 1918 machine and around , these he will build his new team, fill- /. ing in the bare spots with youngsters X glance at the available material will
 show plenty of pitching strength in Turkey" Bowman, "Rube' Robinson and Harry Coveleskie. "Rube" was : the best southpaw in the league last year, and as for Covey, he's always good in this circuit.
 At first Lefty Grimm is about as clever as anybody in these parts. Pe- terson on the keystone is newcomer and we can't vouch for him, but We can recommend Distell as being the flashiest filder and one of the most dangerous hitters in the Southern league Dee Walsh on third is only fair and Herb Moran in the outfield is not a world beater but the Kid has some likely youngsters to fill in with here.
 Summing it up, it must be admitted that Little Rock has seven Class A men who will stack up favorably with those on Moley's or anybody elses pay roll

THE WORLDS MARKETS
Iron and Steel Review
By Associated Press

New York, March 30-The steel indus gest the new price scale carrying reduc- tions ranging from $50 to $10 ton on different items and some progress is being reached in the matter of book ing orders. The situation is viewed with optimism and leading producers predict that within the course of the next week or two new bookings will increase ma- terially.
 No government orders for supplies have as yet been booked by departments at Washington, although the navy will on April 4 receive postponed bids on steel for some new battleships Progress in the structural field is believed to depend largely on the outcome of present parleys between the industrial board and pro- ducers of building material. The pig iron situation is not viewed with as much optimism as is the case in steel and bookings in the former industry have been moderate. The coke market is steady at the low prices realized after the termination of government control No change was made at the steel meet ing concerning coke.
 Copper has shown considerable i'm provement recently. During the last days of last week the buyers were particu- larly active and some large orders were received. The sellers have gained con- trol of the market and the range now covers 16 on the part of the small inter- ests to 15A by the large producers. Dur ing the past day or two there has Deen a slight decline in the number of orders placed, but this fact is attributed more to the exhaustion of some of the low priced copper rather than to a lack os interest on the part 6r the buyers.
 The lead ma< ct !as shown no new feature and conditions are quiet. Spel- ter is unchanged.
 There is nothing new in the tin market

LU PRINCETON, POP
By w. 1T. GGOCHEH

At the close of 19lS Lu Princeton was considered the best trotter in training. In his last race at Atlanta, he defeated St. Frisco in POP, 2:O4$4. 2024 This show ing. when added to his victories at North Randall in 202$4 2:o2l4. and at Hartford in 2.024, 2:02A on Labor Day, stamped him as the leader among stall lions raced in free for alls. While St. Frisco trotted two miles. in 2:ol74 in races and The Harvester one in POP, neither of them were forced to repeat so near the limit of their speed
 Lu Princeton, like Mabel Trask, is striking example of what careful train ing will do in developing a race horse The latter could have been spoiled at any time by the stroke of a whip, while the former had to be literally forced to
 uncover all of the speed at his com mand.
 This horse has been raced for four sea- sons. His first start was at Rockport, O., August 9, 1915, when he won a seven- heat race in 2;171l. In his other races that season. he was defeated in two by Cedar
 Lake Girl and in one by Brione, after
 which he passed into the stable of Wal
 ter Cox. In 1916, his first season on the
 mile tracks, Lu Princeton looked like any,
 thing but a champion, one second two-
 thirds, and four-fourths being all that he
 had to show for 10 races, his only re-
 deeming trips being a heat which he won
 in 209A at Atlanta and a second in
 2;O6A to Early Don at Lexington.
 The returns for 1917 and 1918 made
 these performances look like misfits as of
 2i races he won 16 and was second in
 seven. He also reduced his winrace from
 2:17A to 2:02, which is the fastest stand
 ing to the credit of any trotter now in
 training with the exception of his stable
 rcnpnnion MabaI Tra al, o.01A
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-03-31
WON SEVENTEEN RACES

During his career, Lu Princeton has started in 8 races, of which he won r, was second in eight, third in four, fourth in six. and unplaced in four. He has trotted 132 heats, of which he won 49 Of that number A were finished below 2;lo and 10 below 205, 16 of the latter being placed to his credit in 1918. The summaries of his races also show that of the p which he lost, four of them were won by Early Don, four by Early Dreams three by St. Frisco. two each by Cedar Lake Girl, Zomrect and Royal Mac, and one each by Brione Lindsey. Rrisac, Bresca and Azora AXworthy
 The inheritance of Lu Princeton is a striking example of the breeders art in adding layers of recognized trottng strains to a thoroughbred pedigree He was got by San Francisco, while his ma ternal line runs through mares by Prince ten, Dictator, King Rene, to the Pilot, Jr., mare Kathleen that also produced Ethelwyn, while she was out of the thoroughbred Little Miss by imported Sovereign.

The Source of All Harvests.

Just at this aso Of the year,
when our attention is being devoted
so largely to the tillage of the soil,
and when our conversations hinge on
the possibilities of a return from these
labors in the way of a harvest in the
months that will follow, it is very
proper that we pause to consider the
source from whom these blessings
come. 1t is for this reason that many
of the churches of the United States
will observe next Sunday, and the
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
following, as Rogation Days. You
may not have a dictionary handy, so
we will explain by saying that the
word "rogation" means to ask, and
on these Rogation Days God will be
asked "to bless the labors of the hus-
bandman, and grant such ~seasonable
weather, that we may gather in the
fruits of the earth, and evermore
rejoice in His goodness"
Now, as never before, the world
must have learned it's dependence on
Almighty God for it's daily bread.
Famine, and want, for whole nations,
are a new experience for this gener-
alton. A scant harvest in America
next autumn would mean, perhaps,
the starvation of millions of people.
We have been wonderfully blessed re-
Gently with Reasonable weather." a
mild winter, gentle spring rains and
warm sunshine. 1t is we'll that we
consider the Giver of these benefits.
20 Gracious Father, who openest
thine hand and fullest all things liv-
ing with righteousness; we beseech
Thee of thine infinite goodness to
hear us, who now make our prayers
and applications unto thee. Remem-
Der not our sins, but thy promises of
mercy. .Vouchsafe to bless the lands
and multiply the harvests of the world.
Let thy breath go forth that it may
renew the face of the earth. Show
thy loving kindness that u land may
give her increase; and so fill US with
good things that the poor and needy
may give thanks unto thy name.
Through Jesus Christ, Our Lord.
Amen"
