DALLAS, Tex, April l.
The Texas Farm Bureau Cotton
association has handled, or will
have handled when it's season
closes, a total of 100,210 bales
Of cotton for it's members, which
is far fewer than the amount of
cotton represented in the origi-
nal sign-up of members.
The cotton actually pledged
for delivery to the association
by members was 552,095 bales,
based on the 1920 production of
cotton in Texas amounting to
3,747,5S0 bales; that is to say,
the members who signed up to
deliver a total of 552,095 bales

Extends of Hunter are Of the opin- lon thet even though he may not wish to come back. he should be given chance to decide whether he wishes to be brought into the maelstrom or Straaford politics.

FRITzl SCHEFF
 LOVES JAZZ, TO

 Miss Scheff who is entertaining at Polls the last half of this week, de- clared that her career on the stage began when she was very young. She studied first at the Conservatory of Music in Frankfort, Germany, and made her first public appearance in London. Tn speaking of her career in this country Miss Scheff said with a smile of reniniscence, My first ap- pearance here was at the Metropou- tan opera house in New York, and l can remember my mingled feelings or Joy and qualification when it was all over and knew that had succeed ed.

 Miss Scheff declared that it has been a constant source of wonder to her how this country prepared for the past war when the call came. She stated that never before had she seen such exhibitions of patriotism.

Work Now Completed
On New Stadium Track

NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-WOrk was
completed on the running track
at the Yankee Stadium yesterday.

appearance. The track was de-
signed by Frederick W. Ruben.
secretary of the Amateur Athletic
Union and American Olympic com
mittee. and the construction was
supervised by his son, +. w. Ru-
bien. ir.
In speaking Of the track yester-
dzy MIR. Ruben said that no ex-
pense was spared to make the track
at Yankee Stadium one OF the fin
est in the country. The track is
- feet wide throughout and meas
ures 400 yards to the lap. 1t has
a 120-yard straightaway, and the
track ought to be very fast. as
II is protected from the wind on all
sides by huge stands which will
accommodate $4,000 persons.
The construction of teh track
will not interfere with baseball. A
novel method was adopted-the usu.
al curb being sunk below the leyel
of the surface. and the track will
be perfectly level with the grass of
the infield and bear the same rela
tion to the sod as the running
paths between the bases A tenn
norary curb will he installed when
track events are in progress. As
baseball will only be played at
the stadium approximately seventy
seven DAYS Of the year. the track
will be available for athletic con-
tests on many occasions. In the
winter the track can he sprayed
and will make a splendid skating
surface. Important football con-
tests will also be held at the Sta
dunn.
An idea of the size Of the field
ran be obtained from the width
OF the field. which is 362 feet S

ical excuse for his ruling in the
Cobb incident.
Christy Mathewson used to
have a simple method Of win
ming baseball arguments. He
had a loud, strong voice and
would talk so loudly that no one
else could be heard. Perhaps
that is Johnson's idea in the
present discussion.
Cobb may go into Ban John
sons records as a 400 hitter
for the year 1922. But in the
memory of the present genera
tion of fans his batting average
will rate a point or two less.
This will not detract from
Cobb's glory as the greatest
ball player Of all time. Perhaps
Cobb would prefer that johnson
had not interferred. johnson
made a misguided attempt to do
something for Cobb. Under the
circumstances Cobb could not
tactfully say:
mind your own business,
johnson. Do not do me any
favors."

Fans Welcome Change in

sumed in Shooting Fouls.
IT WILL be interesting to watch

TT WILL be interesting to watch
how the new system Of basket
- ball rules works out. In no
sport has there been so much
dickering with the rules as in
basketball. One particularly well
come change will be the elimina-
tion of the time consumed for
free throw. in a close game the
old ruling engendered stalling tao
tics. The abolition of technical
fouls is also a welcome change
which will help to speed up play.
Now, instead of a team getting
free attempt at goal, when one
of the opposition runs with the
ball there will be only a sideline
throw, which is a rather sensible
Interpretation, for no player de-
liberately runs with the ball.
Another significant change is
that applying to the zone system
for fouls. According to the old
ruling when player was fouled
in his zone, regardless of whether
he be In possession of the ball.
the opposing team was allowed two
foul trys. Under the new ruling.
however, two foul shots will be
awarded only IL the player that is
fouled is in possession OF the ball
or in the act of dribbling while
In his zone: otherwise the team
fouled is allowed only one foul
shot.
Never since the game was first
played has II enjoyed such popu.
larity, and the season which Is
now just getting under serious
headway promises to be the most
interesting on record. From a
minor sport that attracted only
handful of spectators in the early
days many of the colleges now
place II on par with football,
baseball, rowing and track athletics
as far as the award of varsity
insignia is concerned, and. further
more, it is practically the only
sport outside of football which pays
its way.

McGraw Passes Buck
to Garry Hermann

NEW YORK. Dec. 2<.-Aroused
by the statement Of Garry Herr
mann that the Giants offered Jess
Barnes for Adolfo Luque and were
turned down. John McGraw. mana.
ger of the Giants. produced a letter
from Hermann which Offered
Luque to the Giants at the waiver
price. 1t develops that Cincinnati
asked waivers on the Cuban pitcher
last September.
At the same time Hermann
wrote letter to McGraw suggest
ing that Luque might be of some
use to the Giants and adding that
II McGraw was interested he should
make proposal to the Reds.
McGraw. instead Of trying to get
Luque at the waiver price. offered
Jess Barnes in exchange for him,
calculating that the Reds were only
feeling the Giants out when waivers
were asked
Nothing more was heard of the
matter until Hermann. a few days
ago, told the Cincinnati newspa.
pers that McGraw had tried to get
Luque in exchange for Barnes and
had been nobly repulsed John J.
says that Hermann was the one to
suggest the trace and not the
Giants.
McGraw agrees with Hermann
that a change might be a good
thing for Luque, who has been the
worlds champion hard luck pitcher
with the Reds. He was one of the
leading twirlers of the league last
season in earned run percentages,
but he is dissatisfied with condi.
tions at Cincinnati.
Undoubtedly McGraw would like
to get him, and there is a posi-.
bility that trade may be brewing
in which not only Luque but other
Cincinnati players are involved.
