GER France, Dec. 24.-, (By Associated Press)-The person. nel of the aeronautic station here expresses confidence that the dir igible Dixmude will be saved. They believe that the airship has succeed ed in getting south of Tatahonin and that it already has landed at some distant isolated spot whence it has been impossible to communi- cate owing to the failure of it's radio. The belief prevails among them that no matter where the air ship now is all aboard will be saved.

NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-Liverpool was better than due this morning, and our market opened a shade higher and re- mained quiet and steady through the day. There was very little business. a holiday spirit prevailing, but the market main- tained a steady undertone. December ex- pired around 36c, the final tenders on the month being promptly stopped. Wednes- day is the first notice day for January delivery, and the trade is in doubt as to whether there will be large delivery or not. An excellent demand for end of the month shipment was reported from the south, and exports continue heavy. Consd ering the size of the crop exports this season have been very heavy. All mar kets are closed tomorrow, Christmas Day eha n me on AXe[poo arHst w'I also be day" a bank holiday in England. The New York and New Orleans markets will be open for business, however, on Wednes- day.

NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 2A-A holiday spirit pervaded throughout the cotton market today and trading was light and the price movement narrow. Good ca bles and the strength of December New York gave the market good opening and helped to sustain 1t throughout the day
 First notices as 10 the amount of cot ton rendered in New York on December were conflicting, but later it was said that 26,400 bales had been rendered al together. These were taken up without a jar and that position went out at 36.05c. Tenders on December in New York to- tailed 125,6Oo and were all stopped with out their usual effect the market Ru- mors are in circulation of large tenders on January in that market. but it is also claimed that the same people who took up December prepared to take up the January 50 under March. Wednes- day is first notice day. Most traders ap- pear to have evened up and waiting developments when trading Is resumed after Christmas. If tenders are large they may affect the market momentarily, but doubt if they will upset it. Higher prices are likely after the holidays. Wishing all customers and friends happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

Matthews Stars
On GridirOn AS
Well AS Diamond
By NEA Service.

BY NEA Service.
Philadelphia, July 12.-Wid Mat
thows, called the spark plug of the
Athletic team, is star football play
err as we'll as diamond athlete.
Matthews as a collegian starred at
quarterback. He put the same drive
in his work as field general on the
gridiron as he does playing center
field for the Athletics.
During the war Matthews served
in the navy, and when not doing
things aquatic, played little foot
ball to amuse the rest of the "Gobs. I"
He made an enviable football record
while serving in the navy, even if
he personally didn't get any German
submarines.
The rise of Matthews to stardom
in the American League reads almost
like fiction. In spring training Mack
scarcely gave Matthews any consider
alton, yet he finally supplanted Til
lie Walker, the maker of 81 home
runs last year.
Matthews is far from a great play
er, yet he has been wonderful helt
to the Athletics. He has very ordi-
nary throwing arm, is weak on
ground balls and has way of catch
ing fly ball that give base runner
who seeks to advance q running
who seeks to advance running
start. He is good waiter, fine
bunter, but only fair hitter.
Energy and ambition rather than
ability has made Matthews the most
talked about recruit in either major
league.

Baseball Star Buys Monkey For Pet Now All

not original. In baseball as a play.
err starts to slip, it is a common ex-
preston among the players to say
that he is getting ready for the tin
cup and the shoe laces. This
means, of course, that said player
is losing his batting eye and will
shortly be forced to look to fandom
for help. The entire thought is
ironical, but still much used.
Tobin has something entirely new
along those lines. Johnny lives on
the outskirts of ST. Louis where
there is plenty Of grass end many
acres of ground. While in New
York Johnny purchased ia baby
monkey. It Is now tho big attrac-

fering any undue punishment. His
end came in most business-like
manner. Starting the bout with
much confidence he early lost his
carefree manner. He must have
quickly realized that Criqui was
too strong for him. The punch that
knocked MIN out was a singing
blow, but Kilbanc took the count
when it seemed that he would surely
be on his feet before the fatal ten.
Perhaps he realized that it would be
useless and took the easiest way out.
Wilde, on the other hand, was
badly punished. 1t was shame that
the referee and his seconds permitted
him to be SO roughly handled. Wilde
was too game to stay down when he
saw that he hadn't the slightest
chance against the fighting Filipino.
He finally was knocked unconscious.
1t was 10 minutes before he was re-
vived. 1t was a spectacle that in no
way helped the boxing game. Wilde,
when asked to concede defeat, re-
Piled:

The finish of the Wilde-Villa bout
was a most dramatic one. Wilde
went down like a champion, knocked
out, while the huge crowd begged
the referee to save him that humilia-
ton, when it was apparent that he
had no other chance.

The story about the "rolling stone
gathering no moss" does not fit the
career of Jacques Fourier, who has
travelled over many OF the sun-kissed
spots Of the Pacific coast shores, has
been with three clubs in the Amcri-
can eague, two in the National Lea
que and ut present is enjoying an
other prosperous season.
Unless Fourier is kidding the ma
tives bit on the date Of his birth,
he was Il professional ball player
with Seattle at the age of 1G. He
says he was born at Ausable, Mich.
September 2S, 1892, and he was Il
catcher with Seattle in 1908.
His major league debut was with
the Boston Red Sox in 1912. Later
he shifted to the Chicago White Sox
and he was good enough to cover
first base for Charles Comisky until
Chic Gandil came along.
Back to the Minors.
The purchase of Gandil caused an.
other transfer in Fournier's career
and he returned to the Pacific Coast
League. d,
During the shortage of major
league players during the war period,
Fourier hoped back into the
American League, joining the New
York Yankees. His term there was
brief and in 1919 he was back with
Los Angeles.

going through their reconstruction

A good pitching staff is most es-
scntial to winning ball club. Proper
use of such pitching staff is just
as necessary.
Picking the spot for a pitcher is
a baseball managers greatest worry.
What pitcher should start and who
should be sent in as relief in case the
original selection falters? There's
where the real woe comes in.
have always regarded Connie
Mack as past master in his selec-
ton of pitchers. The judgment of
Mack has always seemed to me to be
almost uncanny. Invariably he der
ricks pitcher who is weakening at
the right spot. Usually his relief
pitcher stems the tide.
In the handling of pitchers I am
inclined to think Mack errs less than
any other manager l have ever come
into contact with during my major
league experience. Yet It is possible
for even the master mind to make a
grievous mistake in this respect.
In recent series at Philadelphi..
between. the Athletics and the White
Sox, ! saw Manager Mack get the
toughest break in this respect that l
have ever seen come up on the ball
field. Mack made what seemed TO
be the correct shift. yet fate played
him decidedly false.
When manager makes a shift
in pitchers he gambles with fate. II

A risky youth, however, arrived

much strengthened, and they pre- out
to knock the Magicians out of the

half of the season.
Wally Gilbert, with the Valley
Bismarck team of the Dakota
league last year, who was sold to the
Minneapolis American Association
club, was farmcd out to st. Joe and
recalled last week to help the Millers.
He is playing third base. The Min
ncapolis Journal says:
american association pitchers are
dcvoting particular effort to finding
the batting weakness of Wally Gill
bert, who recently joined Minneapolis
from st. Joe. They probably won't.
Gilbert has every appearance of
natural hitter. He looks the ball
over carefully. Hits at no bad ones
and meets all the good ones whether
high or low, inside or outside, slow
or fast. He has had at least one hit
In each of the seven games in which
he has played for Minneapolis and
many of the hits have come when
runs waited on the bases"
Umpire Labe Safro, who had a
tough time in Bismarck, went to Min
ncapolis during the interim of the
split season. The MINNEAPOLIS Trib-
une says
Liable" Safro returned to Mime
apolls today and said, "It's tough
job to please those small baseball
