Kadoka Base Ball Tour
nament A Great
Success

Hc llISI DttSeDdll tOuI HdIllcnl
for this west river country was
held at Kadoka on Wednesday
Thursday and Friday Of last week,
and the seven teams entered for
the games provided six fast con-
tests that were greatly enjoyed by
the visitors. Good sized crowds
attended each day and the brand
of baseball furnished them was as
good as could be seen anywhere.
The weather would have been ideal
but for the wind which blew from
the south during the two last
two days, but that was overlooked
in the excitement provided by the
ball games.
The Belvidere band was on
hand Wednesday and Thursday
and furnished music throughout
the afternoons and their work was
of the usual high character. In
the evenings the picture shows and
bowery dance furnished amuse-
ment for the after dark hours and
large crowds enjoyed both places.
The Pep orchestra furnished the
music for the bowry and their
playing was we'll liked by the dan
GERS.
Belvidere and Philip were the
banner towns Of the neighboring
places, as the former closed up
their business places and came en-
masse on all three days and the
latter town closed up their busin-
ess houses and everyone came over
for the last two days.
Taken all together the Base Ball
Tournament was huge success,
and if such an undertaking is a
gain tried next year the attend
ance will be several times greater
than this year, as it was demon
strated at this time that the ball
clubs of this section Of the state
play as fast a game as can be
seen anywhere, and the close Sc
ores of all games show that the
teams were evenly matched
BELVIDERE 8; MARTIN 0.
The Martin and Belvidere teams
played the first game of the tour
nament and put on a good exhibi-
tion of the national pasttime, Bel
videre winning the game by run
ming in eight scores while they
kept their opponents away from
home plate. The Martin team ar
rived here short three players, who
were unable to reach here on ac-
count Of thier being no gasoline in
the town, but they filled in with
other players and in spite of their
weakened condition played a good
game, the Belvidere hitting and
the errors by the Martin team
coming in punches.
BELVIDERE 2. MURDO
The second game of the first aft
ernoon was billed between Murdo
and Okaton, but Okaton failed to
show up and Murdo took the game
by default, but with the attenda-
nee paying admission for two
games an exhibition game was ar
ranged. to be played between Bel
videre and Murdo. With Ted Gil
christ and Jack Solon of Interior,

started out right after the Murdo

KADOKA 4; MURDO =.
The final game was between
Murdo and Kadoka and this was
as fine an exhibition Of base ball
as could be asked for, Alright
ball was the order of the game
from start to finish and several
plays of extreme difficulty was
made by both teams and in each
case the players were roundly ap-
plauded. Ewing and Morcford
were the battery for kadoka, Os-
burn and Elrod did the battery
work for Murdo. Everyone of the
players were on edge for this game
and played ball every minute OF
the time, As it not only carried
with it the big money but also the
honors of the tournament.
Murdo started off at bat and
made several motions as if they
intended to take the game, and be-
fore they were retired had sent

Auburn. January 10.-(Special.)--
THE king is dead. Long live the king.
1t was in this manner in days OF old
when one reigning monarch sue
ceeded another, that the joyous greet
ing to the new regime drowned out the
echoes of the lament for the old. And
so with the recent exit to the sidelnes
of the football hero-there now bounds
full panoplied upon the field OF college
athletics the spirit of basket ball,
amid vociferous cheers from his sup
porters.
The Auburn metal is showing in this
game as it did in football and of late
six teams have been out on the campus
practicing every afternoon to make the
team. For the time is at hand for a
decision to be rendered as to just who
will constitute the varsity team this
year. OF course there will be no heart
burnings over the selection of the
three veterans of last years team. for
they are entitled to their old places
both by reason of experience and
ability They are Hahn and Larks of
Birmingham and Wade of Montgomery.

Financial Review
The Fall in Cotton Prices
By ERIC KoBRE Of BIyth, Witter & Go.


 It would appear from a study of con- ditions all over the country that this years cotton crop was planted with the expectation of a high market and production was carried on on this ba- sis. Quite naturally the farmer feels 1t to be unfair to ask him to sell at d price which will not at least return him a small profit for his time and la bor and the cause for the low price which now prevails for all grades of cotton are of interest.
 Census figures from Washington show that cotton consumption during September was considerably less than in September of last yelr. Figures compiled by the International Feder- ation of Master Cotton Spinners and Manufacturers association show that the supply of cotton on hand as of September 1. 1920. was about 10000 900 bales. averaging about 800 pounds net. which would be enough to supply | the demand for about 30 week if the same rate of consumption was con- | tinued which prevailed in 1919-20. This being the case. and taken together with the deflation in the price oi goods. 1t is not surprising that cottor should decline in price. It is no table fact, however, that at even tho low price now prevailing there i: small buying by the mills. Certainly prices are now reaching the point which should stimulate buying.

NEW YORK. Nov. 6..Dealings in stocks today were unusually lively for a weekend session. but the activity was wholly at the expense of quoted values, representative as well as less favored issues recording additional declines
 Absence of any semblance of sup port enabled the shorts to press their advantage in the volume, equipment, shippings, motors and oil divisions, ex- treme reactions ranging from two to seven points. The more severe indi- vidual losses were sustained by Van adium, Reploglc and Sloss- Sheffield, | Baldwin Locomotive, New York Air 1 Brake, Atlantic Gulf Mexican Petro- leum, Houston Oil Pierce Arrow and l Stromberg Carburetor.
 l Tobacco, textile and food shares 1 embraced the weaker specialties, and seasoned rails, including the promi- nent features of the midweek, lost one to two points, an unsettled tone ruling at the close. Sales amounted to 5T5,- l 900 shares.
