HUBBARD's LETTER

New York, August 1L-(speciai. )--The Liverpool market was some 2b points bet ter than due. consequently affecting our market very favorably. The strength of Liverpool was possibly dus to the fact that on account of poor cable service they probably covered shorts in their market. keeping tho price advance well up to their close. The crop reports still continue to come in very unfavorably and caused a more or less general buying and short covering. The demand that evident in the market yesterday increased this morning, putting October to 2l.4sc,. the new high for this movement. Toward the close, however, there was moderate profit taking. easing the market off some 20 points from the high. We feel that this advance will bs sustained just as long as there poor crop reports reach us.- Hubbard Bros. & Co.
 s. R. STEWART & CO.'S LETTER
 Birmingham, August 1.-The Liverpool market came over this morning strong as they were weak yesterday, The oversold market. Middiings were up 35 points, but sales were light at 1000 bales. Cables stated little improvement in de- mand for yarns and sentiment turned slightly bullish over deterioration reports from America. Our markets opened 2b to the tn p market p gained another '1oi s5 points n on further covering and buying for turn on the Watkins condition report of 6o.4,
 
 month.
 Above Bio for October New Orleans of- ferings increased and the market reacted about 40 points, but the finals were 50 points over last nights close, making a gain of 100 points or s5 per bale in the past two days Weather was clear and warm west and numerous deterioration re- ports continued to come in from Texas. Some said the yield would be nearer S,ooo.- 900 than 100000.
 The state did not get enough rain early in the week. In answering queries re- gsrding crop conditions sent over the en- tire cotton region by our correspondent, John F. Clark & Co.,. New Orleans, came replies from all corners that deterioration ranging from to Is per cent has taken place in the past two weeks. Army worm. boil weevil and shedding were the principal complaints. Should the strike situation and political news abroad be- come moro favorable. cotton prices would seek much higher levels. Until then we expect no more than a trading market between 21c and 20.50c for October. New Orleans however, favor the purchasing side.--S. R. Stewart & Co.

TLDEN TEAMS
WITH MALLORY
IN TITLE PLAY
Champions Conceded Honors
Even Before Tournament
Gets Under Way in N. Y.
BY TOM SHARP.

NEW YORK, March 1S.-Ths de-
cision OF Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt NAL
lory. national champion, and VIII
liam T. Tilden. I'd, worlds champion,
to team up again for the mixed
doubles in the indoor championship
at the Longwood Cricket Club.
starting on Monday, means that this
title is as good as awarded.
No other combination appears to
have the slightest chance OF taking
the crown away from courageous
Molla and her partner. They won
the championship last season In a
manner which stamped them then
as greatest mixed pair In the
history of the sport.
Mrs. Mallory increased her
prestige when she caused Susanna
Lenglen, the great French star. to
break under the strain OF a hard
set of tennis. Up to the time that
the French girl developed her case
of nerves" most court experts re-
garded Susanne as the superior Of
her American rival.
Few remembered the prediction
that Molla made after being van
quished by Mile. Lenglen a year
previous. Molla knew more about
the temperament and the ability Of
game of her French sister than any
authority In the sport.

the sound OF Cobb's approving voice

That kind Of thing is.Gravy for his

The Washington times., 1922-03-18

Eight out OF ten heavyweight
bouts are apt to prove dull and
uninteresting. Eight out Of ten
bantam, feather and light-weight
bouts are apt to be quite exciting.
Yet the little fellows lack that tre-
mendous appeal to the imagination
OF a struggle between big men even
when q title is at stake.
The public interest in q heavy
weight championship bout is re-
Elected by the publicity given it in
the newspapers. Few title tits
between little men have ever re-
ceived half the space given the big
bouts. The Joe Cans Battling Mel
son fight at Goldfield probably
came the closest to the heavy
weight class in point Of publicity.

Swelling with Ambition.

0UT where the West begins,
ID which is to say Chicago, our
~ old friend William Tate
finds himself swelling with bold
ambition.
Or rather Mr.. Howard Carr Is
discovering the swelling. Mr.. Carr
Is the manager of William Tate.
And II you don't know William we
can easily expose him as Bill.
Bill Is one of Jack Dempsey's
former sparring partners. Jack
used to knock Bill simple along the
old Maumee, when Jack was train
ing for Jess Willard. Afterwards
Jack Kearns kept Bill in stall in
his pugilistic barn until one bright
evening at Madison Square, Kid
Norfolk crawled up and down Bills
frame to a decision.
OF late, however, Bill has been
coming on somewhat. Harry Wills
knocked him dizzy at Buffalo after
the Norfolk bout, then Bill won
from Harry on q foul. After that
they 6oxed q ten-rounder, which
popular acclaim gave to Wills.
Now Bill sees by the papers that
Wills wants to fight Dempsey, and
what Bill says is this: Let Harry
fight William Tate again to deter
mine which is worthy of the title,
slope Of the Black Race" That's
what Bill says.
