CROWD OF 16,OOO
 SEE ELI DEFEATED

Before a commencement day crowd of 5000 or more, old John Harvard humbled Yale in the opening game of the series in New Haven yesterday afternoon by a score of to 1. Babe Felton pitched a clever game for the Crimson team and held the Ellis runless after the first inning.
 Harvard hit Selleck hard in spots and picked up a run in the second inning, two more in the sixth and their last in the eighth. The Yale pitcher also was wild and his inabil- ity to locate the plate enabled the Crimson men, to tie the score in the second inning.

EUROPEAN HEAVIES
 ARE LARGEST JOKES

Take it from Frank Moran, the present crop of European boxers particularly the heavies are the biggest kind of jokes. Frank ought to know, for he's recently returned from abroad where he laid low some of the mightiest battlers of the Brit ish Isles and France. Frank reports that he scored a financial as well as a pugilistic success.
 Huge armies of European boxers are continually coming over here ir quest of easy. American dol1ars-and are getting them, without even giv- ing a good boxing exhibition in re- turn< It is gratifying to note that now and then an American fighter cleans up a little cash abroad. ever though he has to muss up the bes fighters abroad to get it.

Curtis is picfoed out as a worthy competitor for Joie' Ray. The athletic chaps point out that whereas Curtis prob ably has the advantage over Ray physically, Joie possesses the eXperl- ence and consequent racing judgmen ent, which is so important in competition of this sort. In this connection 1t IS interesting to note that Melvin Sheppard, even after his physical powers had begun to wane. was usu- ally able to defeat younger ana stronger runners than himself, Sim ply through headwork-

Americans Reduce
 New Ravens Lead
Marty Walsh Puzzles League Leaders With Spit Ball and Visitors Are Unable to Fathom His Delivery.
 Roy Grimes Hits Three Times

Bridgeport cut down the lead of the New Haven Indians by a game yesterday afternoon at Newheld park where the Walkers set Pitcher Hehl dizzy and won the game from him, 10 to ?. The victory was of the unex- pected variety because of the crip- pied condition of the Walsh clan, but Marty Walsh's splitter was work ing in good shape and the visitors were unable to fathom his offerings when hits meant runs.
 The Walshmen started right in to finish the hostilities by scoring three runs in the first inning and those were enough to win the game, but they took a little practice at the ex- pense of the New Haven outfit Heavy and opportune hitting tells the whole story Walsh was hit hard to be sure but when the hits meant anything there was none forthcom- ing.
 The victory yesterday puts New Haven on its toes for today's struggle and Chief Bender may go to the mound himself to stop the Americans from getting any closer to the top of the heap.
 Despite the presence of Gene Mo- Cam, the Cincinnati baseball scout. Roy Grimes. who is looked upon as a big league timber, uncorked three hits during the afternoon and played a fine game around the short field The score:

Yankees Improve As
 Winning Road Team
Take 16 Games On Road and Break Traditions of Past
 Seasons-Lose Only Three Series So Far This Year

The charge has been made fre- quently in the past, particularly in those seasons when the Yankees were regarded as pennant possibility. that the club could not win games on the road. That charge has not held true this season, as the Tanks have won sixteen of their twenty-sevep games away from the Polo Grounds for a winning percentage of .593. They have not been as successful away from home as at the Polo Grounds where they accounted for 22 victories in 32 games, but the winning habit away from home has been pronounced enough to make it appear that the Hugmen are good enough as a road team to get real consideration as a pennant contender. 4as
 With the season more than two months gone, it@is interesting to note
 that the Yankees have finished on the small end of only three series this Year. In April, before they made their 1 first appearance at home, the New | York team dropped all three games l of a series with the Red Sox at Fen. way Park, and early in May they l lost three of five games played witt
 the Senators at Washington. On the | current Western invasion Huggins men won only one game of four game series in. Cleveland. In ever,
 other series played on the road or a | home the Tanks have won or tiet | the set.
 l Cleveland is the only club tha holds an advantage over the Yankee up to date in games won. The in | dians broke even in four games a

A FAIR PRICE
FOR COTTON
The American Cotton Associa-
ton is Bending its Efforts
to Help the
FARMERS OF THE SOUTH

Columbia, Jan. 1.-THE following
statement was issued by the Ameri-
can Cotton Association:
In an effort to secure a fair price
for cotton based upon the prices for
which the manufactured product is
selling, and based upon supply and
demand, we have spent a great deal
of time in making an investigation
OF conditions worldwide. We have
used the best experts and find as a
result of this investigation that cot
ton is selling far below a fair value,
based on these conditions. We find
that there will be an enormous short
age of good grade cotton. The rnark-
ct for good grade is already tremeL-
duously oversold, and long staple cot
ton has been sold for 100000 bales
in excess of the worlds production,
at far lower prices.
After investigating these condi-
tions at home and abroad we have
consulted with leading bankers of
America with leading officials in
Washington with officers of the
American Cotton Association, and
with leading business men through
out the south. AS result of this we
feel convinced that we can effect the
sale of enormous amunts of low
grade cotton for export in all prob
ability as much as 100000 bales
if it is possible to secure same at {
| price, which after paying all expenses
of the transaction, including freigh
| to the port, with net price in excess
| of the highest pnice now being paid
The cotton will be received, graded
and settled for at a point of shipmen
] Eighty per cent cash being immedi
| ately paid; 20 per cent deferred pay
ment, secured by a syndicate OF
] foreign banks and guaranteed by
their governments, rendering the y
] per cent safe and bankable bearing

''In order to complete this sale /
is absolutely necessary for the own
! ers of the cotton to give to an ofhcla
of the American Cotton Association
or to the president of the State Rank
ers' Association, or to the presiden
of the Farmers Union, or to tn
