 MEN AT SIXTH GAME
Edwards, Ringing, Fickard and the
 Roosevelt Brothers See Giants Rout
 Out Yankees. .

New York, Oct. 12.-There was slight falling off in the attendance at the Polo Grounds yesterday. When George Buns, the center fielder of the Giants, stepped up to the plate in the first inning, several hundred seats in the upper tier stands were still va cant. There were a few unoccupied chairs in the lower stands, but the Dicachers were jammed as usual
 The fact that there was some long distance clouting in the way of home runs by Emil Meusel, Frank Snyder Of the Giants, and ''Chick" Fewster of the Yankees, kept the crowd in nois- ome mood. Fewster, who played for Babe Ruth, was cheered on two oc- casions, but had the Babe made the hit and the catch that his substi- ute did, there would have been much more cheering, no doubt.
 And the Sultan of Bif came in for a little applause also. He posed for a
 picture with Mae Murray, a winsome actress, just before the start of the same, then paraded by the press stand 10 the dugout.
 The Babe was not in uniform. He
 was wearing his latest cut with his left arm in a sling
 While he crowd wasn't the biggest of the series, some of New York's big gest men turned out to see it. Big Bill Edwards occupied a box with | John Ringing, the circus man.

t5-Game Series for S1OO a Side
 Opens Tonight

The 15-game series between Eddie Anderson, of this city and Joseph Har- per of Waterbury, for s100 side, is scheduled to .open tonight at Rogers Recreation alleys. The series is ex- pected to prove a lively one, as both Anderson and Harper are considered among the best of the duckpin bowlers In Connecticut. Harper is usually ac- companied by a delegation of fans that make their presence known in more ways than one. Recent games rolled by Anderson, showed that the local boy has returned to form. and there is a general air of confidence that he will defeat Harper. Last nights games at Rogers laNes were between teams in the Commercial, Odd Bellows and South End leagues.
 AL the Casino alleys, the Traut and Hine company leagues held forth, with some good scores resulting.

TIGERS NOT CONFIDENT
Very Little Optimism Shown at Nassau for Coming Battle With Navy on Saturday.


 Princeton, N.

Roper held forty minute scrimmage, during which he drove the men at top speed, and then, not satisfied kept them ou tfor sig nal practice.
 Optimism it not by any means epi- demic at Princeton over the Navy game-not even prevalent. The over confidence which was feared earlier in the season has vanished over night with the news that Louri and Garrity will not play. To add to the general gloom, Coach Bill Roper in a state ment on the Navy game said: In my opinion, the Navy has the best team in the East, and the outcome of the Princeton-Naval Academy game on Saturday still remains doubtful.

New Haven, Oct. 12.-Yale's var sity football eleven drove four touch downs across the scrub goal line in quick succession during the f1fty-min- ute scrimmage practice yesterday aft ernoon, while the reserves penetrated the ranks of the regulars for one. It was the longest and one of the se- verest scrimmages of the season, and although the scrubs clung to prac- tically the same lineup with which they started, numerous substitutions placed an entirely different eleven on the gridiron for the first team before the curtain was rung down. For the first time this year Charlie O'Hearn ran the regulars, although he re- mained in the lineup only about ten minutes. . Under his field generalship the varsity appeared like trans formed combination, three of the four touchdowns being sent over the line during his administration.

NEW YORK COTTON aH., A..AAsAt~rl DpAa0
NEW ORLEANS COTTON.
 By Associated Press

New Orleans, July 1S.-The cotton market maintained an advancing tendency today with its strongest period toward the close when the trading months were 2S to 32 points higher than the final prices of yes terday. Further improvement in the spot situation and rumors that large shorts were covering sent the market to it's highest prices. The close was rather irregular at net gains Of 20 to 50 points. October traded up to 1266c and closed at 12.64c.
 The early trading developed fair ly good demand, Liverpool being much better than due and reporting spot sales of 10000 bales but after advances of 20 to 22 points were made, the upswing was checked and little later the weekly crop reports from the government came in and were generally accepted as being much more favorable than look ed for. Selling became heavy enough to send the market down to levels ? points higher to lower than the last quo tations of yesterday. October falling as low as 12.36c.
 For considerable period the market drifted along, making small recoveries but no decided fluctua- tions. Toward the close a burst of buying caused an excited and firm market and the largest transactions of the day. While much of this buy Ing was laid to sudden desire on the part of shorts to cover, a good part of it seemed to be based on tele- grams from Galveston saying that there was a strong demand there for spots for export.

SUGAR MARKET Ilx Aucaa.at.L D.

New York, July 13.--There was a further sale of 100000 bags Porto Ricos made today in the raw sugar market, July shipment, outport op- tion, to a local refiner at 4ssc eff and 2,000 tons Porto Ricos second half July shipment at 417c eff Savan- nah. Also 5000 bags Porto Ricos afloat at 4ssc to local refner No change was reported in Cuban sugars which were held at Sc eff or little above the Porto Rico price. Latest estimates of the Gu ban crop suggest a production of about 100000 tons in excess of last year.
 Selling developed in the market for raw sugar futures and prices declined, closing at bottom and il to 14 points under the previous night. London interests sold Sep tember and there was pressure from trade houses in anticipation of easier spot prices owing to the tendency of the Cuban market. July closed at 2.s1c; September 2.slc; October 2.s1c; December 2e2c and January 2.59c, all bid.
 The market for refined sugar was quiet with business limited mostly to those refiners quoting 5,20c for fine granulated. The entire range on granulated was unchanged from 52oc to $500.
 Refined sugar futures acted easy in sympathy with raw and on the slack demand for refined, closing 10 to IS points net lower
