Strategy Of this kind Is not con
fined to the bushes" During the
last Olympic games after Matt Nc
Crath had been injured In one OF
the weight events, the American off
clals put McGrath's number on Jack
McEachcrn and sent him out TO com
pete the next day,
Had Il not been for the American
newspapermen, who would not toler
ate such sportsmanship. the mistake
would not have been detected. The
British athletes. some times regarded
over here as being antLAmerlcan
had noticed Il at the same time, but
they wouldn't say n word.

Two fine examples of what track
end field sports will do to develop
men have been shown In the past
two years.
When Brutus X. Hamilton, Univer-
sity OF Missouri star, finished second
in the Olympic decathlon and third
| in the pentathlon and when he was
winning national all-round champion
ships, no one would believe that as
o ten-year old boy he was In bed
with bad hip disease and the doc
tors said he could never walk.
When Len r. Paulu, Grinnell Col
| lege runner, won the sprint events
| at the national collegiate shampion-
ships and the Iowa and Missouri Val
/ ley championships, none but experts
detected that his stride with the left
| leg was four inches greater than his
right. None but his intimate friends
knew that the right was a cripple
from shrapnel at st. Mihiel and that
his left eye was almost gone from a
piece of the same shell.
No such fine examples of war
salvage can be found among the
noble prize fighters. There might
have been, if the champion had
taken a chance on getting shot in
the big ring.
Some time back blasting of the
teeth was a popular means OF restor-
ing vitality. Now amputation of the
fingers is becoming the fad.
About year ago Lew Tender
had one Of his fingers cut off to
strengthen a fragile hand. Recently
Jack Knight, Pacific Coast slugger,
had the middle finger of his left
band removed to help his batting
eye.
Jack Dempsey would have all the
digits removed from his right hand.
he would improve the chance of u
lot of other heavyweights.
Marty O'Toole, known around the
big league stamping grounds as the
$22,5O0 lemon, came near breaking
into a semi-pro game recently in
| Seattle.
A day before a game between the
Cosmopolis and Aberdeen teams of
the Southwest Washington League.
the Cosmopolis team signed O'Toole
to pitch. The rules required that
players had to be signed four days
before the game so O'Toole was sent
in as Davis, one of the regulars.
Everything went fine until one of
the players forgot and called Davis
Marty. OToole then got the gate.

NEW YORK COTTON By Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS COTTON
 A .I

New Orleans, March 17-Sustaincd mainly by the strength of the week end statistical statement, the cotton market stood at small net advances during the greater part of the ses- sion today. At no time were flue- tuations wide and the advances could not be called strong. In the late trading the market was at it's high : est, the more active months showing net gains of to IA points with May at lo.S0c. The close was typical of the rest of the session, the net changes being a loss of 1 point to T gain of points. May closed at 16.71c.
 The dry weather map caused con siderable selling around the opening which put prices to 10 points under the close or yesterday, to 16.57c for May. Private reports of a large fire at Liverpool checked the downward movement and brought about small upturns, but real steadiness did not come until after the posting of the weekend figures. showing mill tai, : ings for the week of 19i.oO0 ba,ss against 179.000 this week last veal. and 227,00o this week two years ago an out of sight movement altogether larger than expected.
 The large exports for the day helped to put the market to it's best. clearances from all ports amounted 10 fff49 bales against 20.274 this day last year. For awhile. in the late trading, there was more or loss buying on prospects of wet weather in the belt again but toward the close the demand appeared to have been filled up.

EARLY DECLINES
 FOLLO O W ED BY
 LATER ADVANCES
General Cotton Market Closed Steady, Net Four Points Higher to Eight Points
 Lower
By Associated Press

New York, March i7.--Early de- clines were followed by advances in the cotton market owing to reiterated reports of improving British trade conditions and apprehension of un- settled weather over the weekend in the south, May contracts sold up from 17.S0c to 1S.03c and closed at 17.95a with the general market closing steady four points higher to points lower
 Tn emarket opened steady at a de- cline of points to an advance of 2 points and eased off right after the call under scattering near month liq uidation and the better ,pearance of the weather map. There were IS March notices issued, probably ac- counting for some of the near month selling but these offerings were much lighter than they were earlier in the week and the market soon turned firmer on coverin; and trade buying. The latter included buying for Liverpool account and there were a good many private cables in the market here reporting a very decided improvement of business in cotton goods in Lancashire. It was said British manufacturers were receiving orders from both India and China and Llldl III some instances flule looms Tn Manchester were starting up.
 There were also reports from New Orleans that foreign spinners were seeking credits to aid them in buying cotton for forward shipment and the afternoon rally was promoted by bull ish weekend figures. March sold up to 1S.16c and July to 17.46c, or to 12 points net higher with he close off a few points from the best under realizing. The weather in the eastern helt was better today but the fore casts were for uN- ettled weather and local map readers feared renewed showers or rains over Sunday.
 It is reported tat 5000 bales Of American cotton have arrived in Bos> ton from Germany. The belief is that it is low grade cotton of strong staple which can be sold to New Eng land spinners but which was moving slowly in the German trade. Spinners takings of American cotton for the week were 239,074 bales against 217.- 6S7 bales last year.
