per tier of Navn Field one could
observe at least five fights going
on between the unruly spectators
and the police. Back and forth
the crowd swarmed, milling, fight
ing and yelling.
The police. unable to meet the
situation. left the players to fight
their way out as best they could.
They tried to clear the field but
failed in that also, so that Evans,
declared the game forfeited to the
Yankees.
The Tigers and Yankees have
been bitter rivals for three or four
years and the crisis came yeeter.
day. 1t is hard to forecast what
will come out Of It all.
When Cole relieved Stoner, who
was hit hard in the third inning, he
began busting off, by the Yankees,
according to charges made by the
players. In any case, he kept them
ducking and lodging to avoid being
hit, and when he landed on the
small Of Meusel's back the blow.off
came.
Ty Cobb, manager Of the Tigers,
has been accused of instructing his
pitchers to dust off, opposing
players at critical stages Of games.
Howard Ehmke, now with the
Boston Red SOX, accused Cobb of
using a busting off signal. The
case was brought before Ban
Johnson, President of the Amer.
lean League, but for some reason
or other little was heard OF IL.
The players in the American
League are firmly convinced that
the Detroit manager resorts to these
tactics to drive a dangerous batter
back from the plate.
The first time Ehmke made his
appearance in Detroit after being
traded to Boston Cobb accused his
former pitcher of busting him off.
His retort to the fiery Georgian
was: "Well. busted quite a few
off for you last year, and I'm dust.
ing one off for myself now"
Bob Meusel is perhaps one Of the
most peaceful players in either
league. He is popular with the
umpires owing to the fact that he
seldom disputes a decision even in
the heat of battle when a question.

him.

NEW YORK, June 2s.-"The United

of American mills says the National
Bank of Commerce in the July issue of
Commerce Monthly. The bank adds:
although American carpet and rug
manufacturers depend almost exclusive
Is upon the domestic market for the
sale of their fabrics, they are to a con-
spicuous degree reliant. upon foreign
countries for their major raw materials
At present China furnishes about 80 per
cent of all the carpet woods imported
into the United States, but the American
carpet industry also calls upon such
widely dispersed regions as Scotland,
Italy,. the Argentine; British India and
Asia Minor for substantial supplement
tary quantities.
"The American manufacture Of wool
carpets and rugs is confined almost ex-
clusively to the eastern seaboard of the
United States.
"Classfied as non essential and faced
with exceptional difficulties in acquiring
labor and materials, the carpet-manufac-
turing industry experienced very trying
times during the war period. The re-
covery of the industry after the war was
SLOW but by 1923 total output reached

NEW YORK, June 29.-Despite a
good deal of optimism relative to the
future of the steel market and a few
bright spots in the way of little
Spurts of buying here and there, the
steel situation at large shows little, IL
any, improvement. Buyers are just
about as apathetic as they have been

tinues quiet and the long of the mar

Tin was quiet but steady. The con-
suming demand was poor. but deal

show an increase for the month.
