Jap May Make Trouble.

Disquieting reports are coming from
those who have seen Ichiya Kumagae,
the Jap, who drove far into the
brackets in 1916. Kumagae. always a
deadly spotter of the side and back
court lines, is said to be criss-cross-
ing the court with even more than his
usual deadly accuracy. Kumagae's
downfall in 1917 came at the hands
of George M. Church. who, playing
at the net, drove back at the Jap with
such vigor that he capitulated.
Whatever happens, it is certain that
the coming singles tournament will
be the most fascinating ever seen on
American turf courts.

Schoolboy Athletics Boom.

tremendous boom is on in school
boy athletics in all sections, especially
in the public schools there is a ire
mendous outburst of enthusiasm for all
kinds of recreation. School yards. parks
and public Fairgrounds are full of boys
devoting themselves to perfecting their
skill in all kinds of athletic endeavors.
If we properly direct this enthusiasm
and see that these sports go toward
building up healthy youth. we shall take
advantage of the greatest opportunity
ever offered On the otler hand. if the
spirit simply runs riot and is not guild
ed and developed along the proper lines
we shall lose great opportunity and
get only partial results.

BASEBALL CLUB
 OWNERS ID SIGN
 NEW AGREEMENT
Minor Leagues to Control Own Affairs National Salary Limit of S11,00O
 Declared Insufficient
By Associated Press

New York January 17-A week of conferences and joint sessions here be- tween major and minor league baseball club owners will be completed tomorrow when a working agreement is signed by the national commission for the two major organizations and commit tee representing the National Associa- ton of Minor leagues to take the place of the national agreement abrogated by mutual consent
 The minors will go their own way under the control of their own national board of arbitration, which will have full jurisdiction until it's term of of- fee expires in 1921. There will be no more draft or optional agreements in the National association and all players must be purchased by major and minor clubs from the minors for cash, all moneys and sales paper to pass through Secretary John Fl. FarrelPs office at Auburn, N Y.
 At a special meeting of the National league today the recently adopted sal ary limit of $11,000 per month for each club was declared insufficient. Ac- cording to President Heydler the club owners agreed on a higher limit, but just what it is he declined to discuss further than to say that it was satis- factory to everybody interested. It is generally understood, however, that similar limit has been adopted by the American league and that ell the major league clubs will be boundby a gentle mans agreement to observe it.
 Many trades and deals were rumored during the week. but the only one that was consummated was a triangular ex- change of players in which the Boston, Washington and Detroit clubs of the American league were interested. Bos- ton gets Oscar Witt from Detroit and Pitcher Dumont from Washington. De- troit in return secures Pitcher Love, Catcher Ainsmith and Outfielder Shor- ten, and the Washington club gets Harold Janvrin, second baseman from Boston.
 The Detroit club signed Dan Hawley, who managed Toronto's pennant win ners last year, as scout in place of Bill Donovan, who in turn signed contract to manage the Jersey City h. ternationals during the coming season

Weekly Cotton Review
By Associated Prest

New York, January 1.-The cotton mar ket has been extremely nervous and un- settled during the past week, so far at least as futures are concerned. The sell ing has been accompanied by express sicns of bearish opinions regarding the general trend of commodity values, and such views appeared to become stronger after the drastic declines were reported in some of the leading lines of cotton goods at the beginning of the week. Lo- cal bulls commented upon these price cuts as a curtailment of war profits which would not make it impossible for the basis of present costs for both raw materials and labor. This view, how ever seemed to inspire no buying of consequence, while continued reports of an improvement in shipping conditions also failed to attract much attention.
 The uncertainty created by the pro- posed amendment to the cotton futures law was believed to exercise restrict ing influence on fresh buying for long account, but after selling off to 24-50c for March contracts on Wednesday, the market had quite sharp rally on bull ish spot advices, covering and trade
 
 ferings around 25.49c for that position, which sold back to about the previous low lever during today's trading, with the market showing continued irregular ity
 The census report on supply and dis tribution indicating domestic mill con- sumption of 742,941 bales for December, against 516,4 49S last year attracted only passing notice as the figures were about in line with expectations. Some of the reports coming in from the goods trade claim that the curtailment of produc- tion has increased the first of Jan uary, but rather better demand has been reported for goods at the decline.
 The British shipping controller has an- nounced that British ships completing voyages on and after March 1 at ports of delivery in the United Kingdom or in some cases abroad will be released from requistion except so far as they are required for government purposes. A somewhat similar announcement has been made by the United States ship ping board, and the easier ruling of the Liverpool market has been attributed partly to the prospects for increased imports and easing ocean freight rates.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, January 17.-Liverpool was lower than due this morning and market was far better here early. It is probable decline abroad represented selling of hedges against cotton bought in the south and that as the market in Liverpool would not take all the sales portion came over to New York. The market here was very nervous and irregular all though there appeared to be sufficient trade demand to prevent prices reaching the low levels of Wednesday, As IS natural after long decline scattered liquidations continued, giving the market at times a most unsettled appearance, the tendency, however was toward a steadier undertone despite bes ~ish local sentiment. We think the immediate fu. ture of the market depends upon the att titude of southern holders Any weak ness in the south would be at once re- flected here, reports from the dry goods market are agreed that no further cuts are immediately probable.-Hubbard Bros. & company.

ADJUSTMENTS
"Trail of the Lonesome Pine"

lIdI Ot tiIt LOucoUuIc IliS
 Either John Fox has a large following in Birmingham and the play based on his novel, "The Trail of the Lonesome Pine" has not lost it's appeal to theatre patrons, or there is strong local demand for mel odrama One of the largest crowds of the season witnessed the opening perform ance of this play at the Jefferson theatre here several times before.
 '"The Trail of the Lonesome Pine is a story of the mountain folk of Kentucky, whom John Fox knows so well, and about whom he writes with rare under standing and sympathy. It tells the story of the love of June, a daughter of the hills, for Jack Hale, a young engineer who comes to the feud country prospect ing for coal. About the romance of these two is woven a stirring tale of mountain vendetta, contrasting the rough humor and impiacable hatreds of the feudists, who shoot first and debate the matter afterward.
 The play has already been reviewed at length in these columns. It was one of Eugene Walters successes, and his lovely wife, Charlotte Walker, made June one of her most noteworthy impersonations. The present company is not distinguished but for the most part is entirely capable, and the performance last night did not lack thrills.
 Louise Price gives a creditable inter- pretation of June and William J. Ollo as Jack Hales invests the role with manly strength and feeling. He is well cast Richard Hogan as Bob Berkley ifiss 'pars- ner, is also a capable actor. Joseph Franklin makes the rugged character of Judd Tolliver stand out prominently in the play It is good piece of work. John Blarg as Dave Tolliver is worthy of special mention for his consistent act ing in that part, while George Haley as Cay Heaton, shambling rustic, brought out the comic possibilities of the charac ter. Louis Heron as Red Fox was an other member of the company who real ized his opportunities.
 There will be matinee this afternoon and another performance tonight.
 Printed protests to the finance commit tee of the United States Senate and the ways and means committee of the House of Representatives were distributed among the audience for signatures The theatrical interests of the country are making strong fight against the pro- posal to increase the tax on amusements from 10 to 20 per cent of admission charges. Managers say that if the pres ent tax is doubled theatre patronage will dwind]e away to nothing, and they will have to close their houses
