New Orleans. October IA moro ses- eral spot demand put the pric ecf cotton higher today. although the improvement was held within moderate limits by the lealizing sales that came from satisfied longs. Continued bad weather in the belt caused worry over the grade of the crop and led to efforts on the part of Octc- Der spots shorts to cover. New England mills reported a better demand for fin ished goods at higher prices, and also that production of goods was increasing.

KERR -TAGGEp ouT

Roush's throw was to Kopf and Kopf discovered Kerr wandering between first and second and tagged him out. It was bit of bone on the part of the sox pitcher, but pitchers are not supposed to be brilliant base runners.
 Tn the sixth Weaver started off by dropping one of those Texas leaguers' bagser,a and presently Weaver scored on Jaekson's smash across second just out of Kopf's reach.
 Reuther was plainly not the Reather of the opening game, and Pat Moran had a right handler warming up back of the right field foul line. Felsch pounded out a two-bagger to left center, scoring Jack son. Moran lnotioned to Reuther and the hero of the first game marched from the mound as Jimmy Ring. the Brooklyn schoolboy, took his place
 With none out and a man on second Jimmy pitched carefully to Gandil, the big first basenian of the Sox finally pop ping to Daubert. Kopf threw out Ris berg and Feisch moved on to third. Schalk singled between third and short and Felsch scored with the tying run.
 It was the first time in the series the Sox came from away behind. It was the first they had put on anything that looked like a rally against lead. SchaK

 Reuther up, things looked promising for the Reds, but the Babe Ruth of Cincinnati merely pushed the ball to Kerr for aE easy out.
 Schalk drew walk in the Sox end of the third and Kerr sent him to second with a sacrifice bunt. John Collins re- tired on foul and then Pat Duncan. the young left fielder of the Reds, sprang from out of nowhere and grabbed a line fly from Eddie Collins bat that was pass ing between left and center field. It had all the earmarks of triple.
 DAUBERT AND ROUSCH SCORE
 Daubert singled to right after Rath had been retired in the Reds part of the same inning. Groh famed, Daubert stole and Eddie Collins seemed to have ths bah on him as Jake overslid the bag. Ec- die made a second stab at him as Dau- bert scrambled back from behind the sack, 5ut Naliin, the American league umpire, put out both hands palms down ward, indicating that the runner was safe. Kerr hit Roush with pitched ball and Pat Duncan then doubled to rlsnt center, the ball flying over the head oi Felsch, who was playing rather close in and over the head of !.

 Reuther passed Aisberg and Schalk in the Sox side of the fifth at moment when it looked as if there was no use paying any further attention to the ball game. The Red inficlders collected about Walter and spoke earnestly 10 him Then Dick Kerr got an infield single through Kopf. Risberg went on down to and well past third. Groh had q chance to make an easy play on him there, but he overlooked 1t. In fact, the Reds all prob ably thought "The Swede' has gone on about his business and scored.

These two boys are slated for one
OF the lO-rounders which will fea-

by Adair will surely mean the loss
of bout scheduled with Lew Tend

INDOOR
! COLLEGE MEET
Cornell to Be Asked to Join
Yale, Dartmouth and Penn
in Track Event.

New York, Jan. 2.-Cornell is to be
asked to take part in the proposed in
door track and field carnival, prelimi-
nary plans for which have been made
known by Horace Pender, graduate
manager of athletics at Dartmouth.
According to Mr.. Pender's scheme for
the meet, Cornell, Dartmouth. Penn
syivania and Yale will constitute the
quartet of teams which will hold a
meet to make up for the intercollegi-
ate indoor relay carnival Cancelled be-
cause OF war conditions.
The proposed meet will be held in
an armory and a committee headed
by Dartmouth graduate will shortly
visit the available armories in the
city with view to determining which
Is best adapted for a meet. If pos
sible. full program Of events will be
run on. with the addition Of one or
more relay races.
If the meet proves to be a success
1t may be the forerunner of a new
style OF indoor intercollegiate compe-
uuon. The indoor meet fostered by
the 1. c. A. A. A. A. was determined
upon a team basis and no individual
entries in the separate events were
received. The purpose of this was to
develop team spirit. and a college
which scored on a team basis the best
average in the 1oo-yard dash. for ex-
ample, was adjudged the winner of
that event. The same method of
scoring was applied to all events, In
the four-cornered meet the plan fol-
lowed will be that used in the inter
collegiate outdoor championships
with individual competition in the
various events and team competition
for a point trophy.
