George Mogridge started. but he fall
ed to go the route. In the seventh in.
ming the heat got TO him and he called
for help. Acting Manager Milan had
been preparing for just such a con-
tingency. and he promptly called upon
Jose Acosta. The little Cuban easily
held the Sox at bay for the remainder
OF the contest. and so Mogridgo has
now won eleven games this season. tho
best record of all the local hurlers.
Dick Kerr was a tough egg. Only
in the third frame were the Griffs able
to connect with his delivery. Then
they sure did that thing. hammertng
five runs across the plate. Three scat
tered hits were all they could get off
the midget from Chicago from then on.
But they didn't need any more.
That Big Frame.
Pat Charity statred that big frame
with pass. Biackie O'Rourke pound.
ed a two-bagser down the third base
line and Pat was roosting on third.
Mogridge rolled to Collins. and then a
pass to Judge filled the bases. In
came the White sox infield to cut
down that run at the plate.
Zeb Milan looked over Kerr's
stuff and splashed bounder be-
tween Mulligan and johnson. 1t
rolled into short left and Charity
and O'Rourke scored. Schalk made
a holler that he had caught o.
Rourke but Billy Evans didn't see
1t that way. The score was tied.
Judge was on second and Milan
on first when Sam Rice Jolted one
over Falk's head in left field. This
was strictly against the rule, as
Rice was not doped to hit one that
far in that direction. In came Judge
to third.
Bing Miller crashed another triple
to left, this one sailing off toward
the foul line, and Rice was over.
The next two birds did nothing and
Miller was left on third base.
Sox Score First.
Singles by Mostil and Bratchi,
with a pass to Schalk, filled the
bases in the second. but Kerr rolled
to Mogridge and the effort to score
had failed. 1t succeeded in the
next frame, though.
Ernie Johnson dropped a Texas
Lacquer over O'Rourke's head to
open the third session, going to third
when Mulligan rolled to O'Rourke
Eddie Collins then hammered a low
liner to left. Bing Miller played II
poorly, and Rice made a couple OF
grabs for It down near the jury box
so that the White Sox captain made
the circuit. The next two did nothing.
In the fifth the Sox came within one
of tying the tally when Collins sin
gled to left with one gone, Falk
famed. and then Earl Sheely bounced
the ball over the low wall down in the
left-field corner.
After pitching two balls to Shelly
in the seventh Mogridge surrendered
to the blazing sun. Acosta gave the
big Chicaeoan two more and a free
ticket, but Mostil rolled to the box.
ending the inning. Acosta disposed OF
the enemy in order during the next
two innings.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW ORLEANS, April eff the
plans formulated at the conference
between southern bankers and the
War Finance Corporation at Washing
ton this week are put into effect. as
seems certain. the entire country will
benefit by them. 1t is true that the
greatest benent will accrue to the
south. but the moving of two or three
million bales Of cotton abroad will
make the remainder of the crop readi-
ly marketable.
With the cotton market stagnant. as
it has been for months. the south
has been unable to buy foodstuns
from the west. or manufactured goods
from the east, except in moderate
way. With its great crop again NOV
ing freely at satisfactory prices. it
will again become the best customer
of the west and east.
Cotton Market Depressed.
The cotton market has been de-
pressed this week by the labor trou-
bles in Great Britain. This encouraged
a good deal Of short selling.
Carbon black manufacturers, who
are dependent on the great natural
gas fields of north Louisiana for their
supplies Of carbon. have been notified
by the state authorities that the
amount of gas available to them will
be steadily reduced. They are now
consuming about eighty million feet
of natural gas day. The authorities
feel that this product should be pre-
served for the benefit of the people
of this state.
First Strike for Long Time.
The first strike of any consequence
in New Orleans for a long time is
now affecting the shipbuilding and
metal trades industry. The strike was
brought about through an attempt to
reduce wages 20 per cent and adjust
working hours. 1t has had no effect
