JIMMY BURKE
 ID REORGANIzC
 Sy. LOUIS CLUB

St. Louis, Jan. 2S.-New talent will be added to the St. Louis club of the American League is an effort to whip the team into championship trim if Jimmy Burke, retained as manager for the 1919 season, is successful in number of proposed trades.
 Burke frankly admits that the club needs strengthening. President Ball and Robert Quinn, business manager of the club, have promised him that nothing will be left undone to bolster up the playing strength. Burke said that President Ball assured him that where cash was involved he stood ready to go the limit.
 "I am not predicting where the club will finish next season. Burke said. Boston, Chicago, New York, Cleveland, and Detroit, look pretty strong. If we beat out any of those clubs we'll know we've been in fight. However, we are going after some new talen and we hope to have cork ing good team in the field at the getaway"
 Burke has the backing, not only of 1 business manager Quinn, but the players as we'll. Jimmy took charge of the Browns on June go last year. ielder Jones resigned on June 13, af- i ter the Browns has played a game in which they were defeated by Wash ington, to 4, the Senators have piled up six runs in the ninth inning. In the interim Jimmy Austin acted as manager.
 Has Good Record.
 Under Burke's leadership the Browns won 27 and lost 26 games, a percentage of .5O6. When he assum- l ed charge the club had record of thirty victories and 35 defeats, .462 percentage, which shows that Burke got better results from the same club than did either Jones or Austin
 Burke joined the club last spring. He was released by Detroit, where he had acted as Hughey Jennings field lieutenant for several seasons, to make room for Bill Donovan, whom Frank Navin, owner of the Detroit club, had promised job, providing he was relieved of the management of the New York Yankees.
 Noted for his fighting qualities, Burke at once became valuable as- ScC CO CIlc DrOWHS. ne lISIlIJcu HdT- mony into the club. smoothing over fancied and real grievances between Fielder Jones and the players. On the coaching lines Burke's "pep" and ini. mitable chatter livened up the play of the browns. Moreover he won ths confidence of every man on the club and when Jones quit it was considered only a matter of time until Burke's appointment would be forthcoming.
 Given a ball club whose pitching staff was riddled by previous msman. agement and injuries to Grover Low. dermilk and Mel Gallia, not to men tion the loss of Urban Shocker ano woefully weak in at least two vita Fplaces, Burke made really commen dable showing last season.

GOOD COTTON SEED
 WOULD HELP STATE

Fayetteville, Ark, Jan. 26.-"Good varieties of cotton used as seed will produce annually for Arkansas pro- ducts worth $75,000,O00 more than cotton grown from poor seed," says w. E. Ayres of the Agricultural Ex- pertinent Station of the University of Arkansas in an article in the Cot ton and Cotton Oil News. Good varie- ties alone will increase the value of the entire cotton crop of the south by $23O OOO0,000 annually"
 Professor Ayres states that the fol- lowing nine varieties could profitably replace the "ninety-nine" now used in the state: Short staple, medium early-Cleveland, Rublee, Triumph. Very early, small boiled, short staple -Trice. Very early, small boiled, long staple-Express. Medium early. big boiled" "benders"- "-Rowden and Lone Star.

,J0NESBORQ TEAM COMING FRIDAY
 FOR TWO GAMES

With two games won, and one lost, the local Hi basket ball team is still one ahead of the game. A chance to wipe out the defeat of last Friday night will te given when Jonesboro comes Friday night for two games.
 Reports from Jonesnoro are that the team there is one of the best they have had in several years. In view of the fact that Jonesboro has always been one of the strongest bas- ket ball teams in the state, this au- gurs well for two f;,st games Friday. night.
 The locals are in much better shape as regards condition, and it is not thought likely that they will suf- fer from lack of stamina as they did in the game against Little Rock. While Coach Bassett has been put ting in most of his time in condi- toning his men, he has not failed to coach them in shooting and team work.
 Good Crowd Attends.
 There was a record crowd at the last game, and despite the fact that Little Rock won, every one was par ticularly pleased with the fact that the game was a real one. The an nouncement that J6nesbOrO will come here will be read with pleasure by local fans. for whenever Jonesboro and Pine Bluff meet On the basket ball court, good game always re- suits.
 Coach Bassett has not yet announc- ed his lineup, but possibly with some exceptions, it will be the same which started the game last Friday night. It is stated that several who have been playing the bench are showing considerable speed, and might before the season is over, fight their way to berth on the regular line up.

 General Foch, commanding the ffehch army in the first battle of the Marne had been almost overwhelmed Dy the onward sweep of the German ICrces. In a memorable messoge to Joffre he said: My right is crushed. My left is in retreat.

The people of Paris were stunned by the rapidity with Whlch the Germans advanced in their lrst great rush toward the French capital.

There must be no retirement. With our backs to the wall and believing in the justice of our cause, every one of US must fight to the end"
 When Vice. Admiral Sir Rosslyn Wemyss went to tell the German commander of the naval terms of the armistice one of the Teuton admirals said, Tt is inadmissable that our fleet should be given up without having been beaten.'

LETTERS FROM "OVER THERE. '

The following letter was sent to his mother by J. w. Bishop Jr.. who is now with the army cf occupation.
 American Expeditionary Forces,
 Nov 26, 1918. Dear mother:
 "By what I read in the Stars and Stripes we can now write anything home, so I'm going to try and bust myself.
 Our first time on the front was at Chateau-Thierry just after the drive stopped. We were there about five or six days and then came back for few days rest There was nothing very exciting happened there except the first night. "The gas guard woke us up about every half hour giving the gas alarm but later We all found out it was best to give the alarm only when we smelled gas.
 i've were sent to help start the St. Mihiel drive after resting q few days. That was also very easy and then we didn't know what war was until in the Argonne drive. We stayed on the front about 45 days and we lost quite a few men. When the drive started our position was right around Esne. a. "We were shifted around and kept advancing and when relieved we were around Milly. And that is not far from Dem Sur Mouse. We were go i ing to move into real hot placS l when we were relieved and the next day we were told that the armistice ! was signed.
 'We were sent on our way tc Germany, so here we are in Hyin. gen. I think we are going to Cob lenz.
 l "The people are sure showing theiI appreciation for what the American: have done for them. l ''They are most all giving room! for seine of us. It's quite unusual tt be sleeping between sheets and ol springs.
 "It is pretty hard to tell just whel we will he' back but don't see hoy I it can be long.
 By what hear we will have t be out of Germany after the peac terms are signed.
 "Will close for this time, hopin you are all we'll and happy

Herr Seitz confirmed the disclos- ures recently made by Dr. Otto Bauer, foreign minister of German-Austria. that Austria Hungary purposey had framed the Serbian ultimatum in such way as to make it unacceptable.
 The statement says seven drafts of the ultimatum were made and at last final and satisfactory oiie was fram- ed Probably this is 8 matter of record in Vienna, according to Herr Seitz. He added that it was his be- lief that Germany did not know the terms of the ultimatum. and thst the Austro- Hungarian politicians quite stupidly overlooked Russia's readi- ness to come to the aid of Serbia and that they had not reckoned with the i speed of mobilization.
