COTTON CROP SHORT

The cotton crop in thls section now seems to be shorter than it was thought at one time. There was a time back along about the latter part Of July when it appeared that there would be pretty fair crop of cotton made, but the weevil have played havoc with the crop and there is now little hope of more than half of the crop of last year, if that much. 1t is believed. however. that the in crease in price will have the effect of partly offsetting the loss caused by the reduction in the size of the crop.

Johnny Kilbane is ruling a 7 to

weight championship when he
meets Eugene Criqui at the Polo
Grounds next Saturday after
noon.
Boxing experts who have
looked over the French holder of the
European championship all admit
that he Is a nice young fellow. that
he has a most extraordinarily good
looking wife and that the war cost
him a lot. But so far as his chances
with the venerable champion are
concerned. the verdict is that Kilbane
is too good with his right hand and
that he knows too much
Kilbane has trained very carefully
and a general feeling among the ex-
perts that he should win has not made
him look too lightly upon his challen-
ger. Kilbane knows too much for that
The champion will work under one
handicap unless he has picked up
some doughboy French since he signed
for the Criqui fight Johnny has work
ed himself out Of several tight places

Criqui knows of Johnnys language is
