Wilmington boxing fans would do
well If they would awake TO the
fact that they possibly have thb
coming lyweight champion of
America in Little Mickey Morris.
This kid has certainly come ito the
front In the past six weeks. under
the direction OF Old Man Hackett.
A number OF would-be wise guys
would like to make the public be-
lieve that they have developed the
kid. but ask the kid himself.
Al Cross. formerly OF the L. s.
Navy is boasting around town that
he can defeat Kid Sum. We look
for a bout In the near future. George
Null please take notice.
Buckley McGinness, who last year
looked to be Of championship cal
iber. is rapidly coming to the front
again. after an enforced lay-off.
Jimmy Ireland is training hard
daily at the Keystone Field Club.
Jimmy Is always in shape. and a
bout between him and Little Bear
would be a good attraction. Little
AANtAN ran NAA NA a NlAAAM Win y AilA-
my not long ago.
Johnny Horba will probably have
to lay off boxing for six months ,be-
cause of a bad leg. Johnny fought
Kid West 10 a standstill at Pythian
Castle, but was forced to stop in two
rounds. We all know Johnny was
shot in the leg not long ago. We
hope for a speedy recovery.
Battling Barnes, one OF the COM
ing boxers, would like 10 meet
frankie Lewis No doubt a bout be-
tween these two would draw quite a
crowd. Barnes. while being a new
conner. is rapidly forging to the
front.
Paddy Murphy. the boy that
fought a sensational bout with Fred
dy Long at Pythian Castle, would
like to meet him again. These boys
sure did put up one beautiful scrap.
Ralph Raymond is working out

"PRETTN SOf'r?" NO STREE!
Fans read about the training
camp doings OF the major
league ball clubs and remark:
Pretty soft"
And they dream about the
warmth OF the sunny south
and add:
That's the lifei"
Yet the average ball player will
ask:
Where do you get that stun?"
Baseball training is a business
not pleasure. True enough,
the spirit OF good time is mix
cd in with the hard work. But
IT'S the hard work that counts.
A ball player has TO be on the
job at set hour when he's
In training. He is required
TO put in a certain number Of
hours at hard plugging. The
strict manager even watches
the line OF grub he sails into.
And a lot OF players-the Cub
outfit, for instance-only sit
down to two meals a day.
It's part OF the getting-into-
trim program.
Beacuse baseball fans get prize
pleasure out Of baseball, they
think the players must be hav-
ing the time Of their lives.
Successfully doing something
that furnishes others with
pleasure is a tough job.

COTTON MARKET
HAS STRONG FINISH
All Options Touch New High
Levels for Movement Near
End of Session.

With only temporary reactions, pro-
NOTED by professional profit taking, and
a little scattered Southern selling, yes
terday's cotton market continued It's ad-
vance to higher levels. The bear crowd
found the going hard from the opening
on and difficulty In contending with
such bullish factors as a generally un-
favorable weekly weather report, better
cables. optimistic trade reports from
FAN River and the news that North
Carolina had joined the army Of States
about crop conditions. Busi-
ness as a whole vas little less animated,
but the markets undertone in the last
half hour was Enthusiastically strong.
Prices advanced about 80 to 40 points
near the sessions close. when fresh
wave of buying brought October across
the lac. level. which uncovered nurner-
Gus stop loss orders from Wall Street
and Western interests. The final tone
vas strong, with the list up 80 to 20
points at the finish and local spot quoted
40 points better at 14.15c. At the OPEN
ing the local list was 10 to Is points
higher on active positions and Septem-
Der was up 30 points. Pressure was
heavier directly after the call and the
list dropped to about Tuesdays closing,
at which point renewed demand ap-
peared and sent values above the OPEN
ing level
Liverpool cables were somewhat bet
ter than expected, with increased spot
sales reported from the other side. the
total being 1900 bales. The official
weather map was featured by continued
lack of moisture In Texas and Okla
homa. In the Eastern Belt there was g.
trace of moisture. The weekly weather
report confirmed daily statements re-
garding the crops poor progress. In
the fourth hour the list slipped off about
10 to 10 points from the top. but re-
covered all of that loss before the close,
when all months entered new high

SItnoH, n. J.. Aug. 24.-There Is more

Seventh Day Baptist Church to-day.
Tho matter of legislation for the
support Of Sunday observance has been

which is coming more and more to char

this condition a new type of Sabbath
literature IS needed in which the appeal
is made to loyalty to the Bible as a

situation still contained elements of
danger. particularly IL the original pro-
gramme was carried out. and the men
took UP the march through Boone and
Logan counties to Mingo. There was no
force in Boone county to bar their way.

The revival Of the Argentine loan dis

houses mentioned as principals In the
project, however, failed to confirm the
report that negotiations have reached
such an advanced stage that It would
not surprise the financial district to
hear the formal announcement OF the
issue any day" The report had it that
the loan would take the form of a $780,
600, 900 loan for two years at Z per cent.
1t was stated that the banking syndi-
cate handling the business would COM
prise some twenty-five institutions and
that the notes would be offered on an
per cent. basis. AS a matter of fact.
an authority in a good position to keep
informed on the situation said yesterday
that in his opinion the Argentine loan
was definitely off for the time being.
