THE WORLD T0STAND
STILL UNTIL This
BATTLE IS ENDED
OTTAWA WILL WAIT WITH BAT
Ed BREATH PENDING OUTCOME
OF BAsEBALLs ooRIEsT srRUe-
GLE WHILE BLAckLEYS CLASH
WITH DlxoNITES.

Next Thursday afternoon, on the
bloody field of battle, the old North
. Side lot, J. S. Dixon's dry goods and
ladies' wear baseball team and ]. A.
Blackley's cleaning outfit will cross
bats in their initial battle of the sea.
SON. Fur will be flying high, wide, and
handsome when the two clubs open
their series before large throng Of
local business men.
Dixon was the instigator Of the
whole affair when he organized his
band of warriors, rounded them into
real baseball condition and issued a
"nation. wide" challenge to any club
of their standing and ability The
challenge was accepted several days
later. when Ottawa's foremost Clean
er." J. A. Blackley, on the strength of
his reputation as being one Of the
leading of that profession, got his
gang together. Right then and there,
one Of the bitterest Of baseball feuds
found life and since then has been
raging in all it's glory. Nevertheless
1t is reported that both managers of
the teams are still on friendly terms,
despite the fact that Friendship will
cease on next Thursday afternoon
At the present time everything Is
all set for the feature conflict, and
both teams are eagerly awaiting the
time when they will engage in one of
the fiercest and bloodiest of bates
xt,,tt in
Is positive that his charges will carry
away cherries while Manager Black
ley is determined that his band of
gladiators will give the Dixon outfit
a thorough cleaning.
AS far as can be determined and
judging from the lineups submitted
by the respective managers, both
teams consist of several Babe
Ruths," couple of Dick Kerrs' and
three or four "Tyrus Cobbs."
To defend his initial challenge to
the world that his team can defeat
any or all in its class, Dixon will have
James O'Toole behind the bat. while
Attorney Harold Rickolson, known
widely in baseball circles as only a.
star mounder, will perform on the
hillock. They have provided for con-
siderable strategy which they expect
to turn loose on the cleaning and
pressing outfit and with the aid of c.
Calvert McEvoy on first base; Char
les J. Sticklen guardian of the third
milestone Arthur Prichard to block
every thing around shortstop way;
Oscar Haeberle out in the right poppy
garden; Sam Pruett in the center
cornfield; Jack Hanifen chasing flies
in left. and Walter Mers bedecked TO
guard the second base. they expect to
turn the tide and clean up on Back
ey's aggregation.
Blackley in order that he might
frustate the plans and strategy of the
dry goods men will have Bert Wade |
toeing the rubber while Slim Leverich
will backstop. His clever infield and
outfield also is humdinger and some
stiff opposition can be expected when
they tangle with Dixon's men. Fol
lowing are the lineups of both teams: |

In addition to Governor Cooper, the

MASONS CELEBRATE
ANNUAL FESTIVAL


A social affair Of more than usual
interest to Masons was the annual
celebration of st Johns day held
Tuesday night at the Masonic temple,
which was largely attended by local
Masons and some visiting brethren.
This was also the occasion for the in
.stallation of officers for the coming
year, the following being installed:
DR.. G. F. Roberts, Worshipful mas
ter.
S. J. Leaphart senior warden.
J d Carroll, junior warden.
c. E. Leaphart, treasurer.
A. D. Martin, secretary.
wv. Nipper, senior deacon.
Ira M. Sigh, junior deacon.
Eli L. Corley, tiler.
w. e. Humphries and T. L. Hunt
ley, stewards.
After the installation services a
banquet was served the members
about 60 plates being set, and the
thanks Of the lodge are due Messrs.
John T .Sox and N. S. Geiger, the
stewards, for the splnedid manner
in which the supper was put on.
While Masonry has grown to vast
proportions, and extends all over the
world, it can never be used to exert
any combined influence in political or
ecclesiastical affairs. It Is built upon
too broad lines to be diverted from its
proper aims. It receives as members
men Of all nations, creeds and beliefs.
It's supporters come from every rank
and class in society. It gathers to
its counsels and about its alter men
whose birth, early environment, train
ing and experiences have been widely
different, and writes them for pure
and blameless purposes. 1t recog-
nizes no sect and has no politics.
Freemasonry is the handsmaid of
all seeking truth, light and right. It
is generous to a fault in dealing with
the frailties Of men.
It inculcates the mutual obligations
Of man to man in every walk Of life.
It enforces the practice Of every duty
man may owe to his Creator, to his
netghbor and to himself. It brings to-
gether upon a common level the
prince and the peasant; the artist and
the artisan the rich and the poor,
uniting all in a universal brother
hood. ... -

COTTON FIGURES
GIVEN FOR WORLD.


Washington, Dec. 21.-World pro-
duction of commercial cotton for
1922 was placed at 15,5s3,00o
bales by the department Of agricul-
ture in a report made public tonight.
This is the smallest crop since 1900,
the report stated, and compares with
2O,650,OO0 produced in 1920.
Two Of the most important cotton
producing countries-the United
States and Egypt-suffered crop dis
asters"-durnig the year, the report as
serted, producing only 61.4 per cent.
Of thei rtotal production of last year.
or 5,ee7,oOo bales less than was pro-
duced in 1920. The cotton crop in
China, South America, Mexico and
other countries, while said to be not
so important commercially, was re-
ported smaller than usual. Russia,
which Immediately before the war
produced around 100000 bales an
nually, has practically ceased to grow
cotton, the report stated.
Prices for cotton in the United
States were forced down below pro-
duction cost last year, the report
said, because Of the forced shutting
down Of spinning and weaving estab-
lihments in the principal manufac-=
turing countries. Reduced consump-
ton, occasioned by the inability OF
Russia, Turkey and many other coun-
tries in Europe and throughout the
world to buy cotton cloth since the
war, it was explained, necessitated the
closing Of world mills. American
farmers, confronted with a large
carry-over, last spring voluntarily re-
duced their cotton acreage, it was
pointed out, and the yield was fur
ther reduced because "conpara1vely
little fertilizer was used and because
Of boil weevil ravages over practically
the entire cotton belt" The Amerl-
can crop also was seriously hampered
bv unfavorab1e weather conditions
over the cotton belt, the report fur
ther explained. Egypt was said to
have been affected by much the same
conditions.
The production in tt,e United States
for 1921 was estimated at $4,000
bales of Ats pounds net, as compared
with 13,44O,oo0 in 1920, 11,421,0oo in
1919 and 16,135,oOO in 1914. For
Egypt the 1921 production was estl-
mated at 6s4,o00 bales, as compared
with 1,251,OOO in 1920, 1,154,ooo in
1919 and 1,337,00O in 1914.
For British India the figures were
3,S23,OOO bales for 1921, as COM
pared with 2,S45,O0O for 1920, 4.637,-
900 for 1919 and 4,167,0oO for 1914.
British Africa estimates for 1871
were $4,000 bales as mc,pared with
1000 in 1920, $4,000 for 1919 and
$4,000 for 1914. The estimates for
Russia. however, were only $4,000 for
this year, as compared with 10000 in
1920, 44o, 900 in 1919 and 100000 in
1914. g.,
The estimated production in 1921 in
:Japan and Korea was 10000, as COM
pared with. 10000 in 1920 and 49,
900 in 1914, while for China 1t was l.
CSC. 900 in 1921, 1,sss,ooo in 1920 and
