Spurt Of Barons Was
 Feature of Past Week
Cotton Goods Haue Held Very Steady on
 New York Market

New York, June 10.-Cotton goods markets have held very steady in the past week. Buying has not been so active as it was a short time ago, but very little merchandise has been offered out from second hands, show ing the confidence buyers have in the situation. The rising cotton market toward the end of the week tended to strengthen the views Of many agents handling finished goods and who have hesitated about making cloth advances, lest trading might be restricted.
 Denims have been advanced 1c a yard some of the mapped flannels are up1ac and nearly all the standard staples are held at full prices. Jobbers have been doing little more busi- ness with retailers and the latter, having bougth very carefully hithero- are now beginning to make a few fail engagements. Fancies and novelties in wash fabrics. printed percales and draperies. are being purchased more freely than the staples. Ginghams have been moving much better In retail and jobbing channels. Some few houses making fine yarn dyed fancies are offering new designs for the spring season of 1923.
 Brown and bleached domestics are being bought from hand to mouth, but prices are held very firm. Cotton yarn markets are irregular, spinncrs holding for much higher figures than trading merchants are able to se- cure. In the knit goods there Is con siderable apprehension expressed be- cause of the difficulty now encoun- tered in securing advances for fin ished garments in keeping with the rise in yarns.
 Prices current in s.rst hands are as follows: Print cloths, 2S inch, 64x64s. 6%c 64xs0s, 6%c; 3Sh inch. e4x64s, Shlc; southern standard brown sheetings, 12c; tickinGs. 21 isc; prints, 1O4c: staple ginghams. 16hc; dress Otrp.hap1a one md 2ZiLc

Big Crowd Saturday
 A mighty gathering of fans saw the Moleys and Lookouts split Saturday afternoon. Esti- mators got out their pencils and began to figure and announced that between 5.000 and 1000 fans were Tn attendance at the game. This Is an enormous as- sembly. and especially when one considers that one of the best ball clubs In the league was fighting a hopeless tailender.
 With the Little Rockers here. however. attendances will grow by leaps and bounds the early port of this week. Competition also the life of attendance fig ures as well.
 Following the tempestuous Kid and his flock into town the Memphis Chicks. who it seems have hit their stride again, will blow into town for a four game tilt, and the card with Mem phis will also draw huge crowds in at the gate. If the schedule makers had waited until today to frame this weeks bill they couldn't have made s it better from the magnates' standpoint.
 Ebbie Out for Three Days
 Mike Eberhard, one of the most dependable pitchers on the Ba- ronial staff, Is out for three days at least Mike was taking bat ting practice Saturday afternoon, with view to working the first game for the locals. : A fast ball caught him on his throwing arm and paralyzed the fin tempora- rily. Doc Wright gave the arm the once-over and at that time thought Mike would be able to start the second game. but the wounded member gave him such pain that he hit the showers and climbed into his civvies. talked with Rick Woodward after the game and he told me that Mike would be out for three days at least.f This is going to work q hardship on Moley's pitchers, for two double-headers here the lat ter part of this week gave them more work than was good for 'em. and whitehill with sprained back was forced to bear the brunt of it.
 In the first game with the Noogans Wednesday,. which was , rained out at the end of the sixth. Whitey had relieved Stat ham. He came back the Friday afternoon and won. Saturday. with not even a days rest. he was called on to finish the game after Bates had been knocked sout in the eighth. Then. after Big Phil was knocked out in the fourth and with cold arm, Whitey was called upon to finish that game as well.
 One for the Book
 I've seen many peculiar stunts pulled In baseball but I believe the umpiring record for all time was broken Saturday afternoon, and 1 don't. believe fans any where ever saw the stunt that was pulled. Umpire Guthrie was laid up with an attack of Illness Saturday and couldn't officiate. Dan Pfenninger took the balls and strikes and Bill Statham and Logan Drake were assigned to the bases. In the fourth when Johnson was being pounded from the box Manager Mcdonald took Drake out of the umpiring role and told him to pitch. It was probably the first time an umpire ever relieved a pitcher. Drake pitched to one batter and tfen was supplanted by Ballou. Ralph Croll had been taken from the bench and given the um- pire's job. In the sixth Me Donald decided he wanted .Croli. then umpiring. to hit for Ballou, 50 he chased the umpire from the field, put him in to bat; and re-

 Chicago, June 10.-With warmer weather and more work, the major league pitchers are hitting their stride with the result that the slug gers are finding it harder every day to get the ball In safe territory.

 The youngster who set the league afire In the first weeks of the sea son with .450 marks are now get ting back to their normal averages of .275 whfle Sisler and others, drop ping more slowly than the flash in the-pan batters, still are rapidly get ting down to their usual records.

WASHINGTON, July 7-Decision Of
the anthracite coal mine operators and
union representatives to meet again
today was taken as an indication at
least of continued hope of reaching an
agreement through the conference
called by President Harding to con-
slider methods of securing a resump-
ton of work in the industry. No state
ment was forthcoming from either side
however, as to the trend of develop

meeting, which was said to have been
without definite results.
Meanwhile the bituminous strike
situation, negotiations in which have
been deferred until Monday is press

concern is felt over the present cur

GERMAN SOCIALISTS
ARE ASKED TO Join
COALITION FORCES

BERLIN, July THE clerical and
Social Democratic parties have ad-
dressed a joint appeal to the German
Socialist party inviting the latter to
enter the government coalition as the
need of the hour demands thhe en-
rollment of all the national elements
who are willing to land active aid in
the work of safe guarding and build
ing up the republic"
This appeal from the two bourgeois
parties in the coalition bloc is inter-
preted as an offset to the prospective
entry of the independent Socialists in
to the government which although not
yet an accomplished fact, is probable
in view of the urgency with which the
majority Socialists are seeking rein
forcements from the left.
As a result of the appeal the parlia-
mentary situation has become still
more confused. There is little pros
pect of reconciliation between the two
Socialist parties and the peoples par
ty.
Selection of a successor to the late
DR.. Rathenau as foreign minister also
presents difficulties unless President
Ebert and Chancellor Wirth can decide
upon the appointment of some diplo
matte official who is wholly without
party affiliations.
/ Berlin continues without bourgeois
newspapers, the striking printers only
permitting the appearance of the So
/ cialistic and communistic organs. The
strike threatens to spread throughout
Germany, tying up all but the radica
press.

THE only way to determine whether
a ring contest is a boxing contest or

According to reports from Michigan

Governor McCray also added that he
