Liverpool Rnd reports that yester-
days break in raw cotton had check
ed the demand for cotton goods
First prices were easy at a decline
of to 36 points, with March selling
off to 34.37 and July to $3.50. Some
trade buying was reported at these
figures, presumably to fix prices, how
ever, while liquidation was less active
than it was yesterday, and the mar
ket steadied up some 80 to 40 points
from the lowest during the early
trading. Private cables said the de-
cline in Liverpool was due to general
selling, inspired by unsettled political
conditions and poor trade demand.

COLORADO GRIDDERS
NOT SCORED UPON

Colorado University had this rare
distinction in the late foot bail season
Of possessing an eleven that not only
won Rocky Mountain conference honors
by goodly margin. but was not
scored against by any opponent
Colorado IL the one important team
In the country which may lay claim
to this honor, an honor the more ius-
trous because the Boulder outfit was
up against q stronger assortment OF
teams in the conference this year
than ever before.
Myron Witham, captain Of the 1908
Dartmouth team. is the coach. and
such Eastern foot ball experts a. Phil
Brasher, Prtnceton's chief scout for
many years. say that the team would
stand up with any In the land.
A great deal Of the teams success
in the forward passing game was due
to the work Of Chilson. next years
captain, who had the faculty Of jump
ing into the air, and while At the top
of his Jump making his pass. This.
together with the fact that the throw
er was extremely accurate, made II
very difficult to intercept passeA and
only a few were caught by opponents.
Colorado's forward passing was .
nightmare to rivals.
Witham, by tho way, lisa new con-
vert to the theory that q few plays
well executed will gain more gvound
than \ hundred that the team does
not know very well In this connec-
ton 1T might be said that In Prince
tons heavy scoring game against
Harvard tho Tigers used only eight
different plays.

COBB took precautions to
save his legs and ankles and
to prevent being hit by pitch
ed balls, but these were only part of
the system that carried him through
20 seasons of terrific competition,
where he was forced to play at top
speed always. to win batting and
base-running championship, to de-
tend it or to try and regain it.
Many players have had their ca
reers curtailed by being hit by
pitched balls. Cobb was hit fewer
times than any other player. When
he was hit 1t WAS generally because
he wanted to be hit to reach first.
1t was sometimes fine base ball
policy to get hit. Most of the times
when pitched ball struck Cobb 1t
was because he managed to stop the
ball with his body. But he never
Intentionally stopped one that might
In any way inJure him. He was too
Intelligent and clever for that.
Other Precautions.
StiIl. to last as long as he has,
Cobb had to take other precautions.
One OF the most important was food,
and of just as much Importance was
the OF season, the weeks between
the close of one base ball calendar
and the start of the next. To
keep muscles from going iabby a
man must continue to work them. A
ball player. who exercises every day
through seven months of the year,
goes into absolute idieness during
the other i've. He takes no exer-
else. What Is the result7 The
muscles become fiabby, and as soon
as that happens they begin to de-
teriorate. Players that loaf be-
tween seasons find 1t harder and
harder to get into playing shape
They slow, down rapidly and find an
untimely end to their careers Cobb
argued the matter out and decided
that he would have to do something
through the winter months. He de-
cided to hunt.
inal with him. He had two fine
examples in the leaders of his pro-
fession when he broke in. There
was Honus Wagner and Larry La
toie. both 'lasters." the sports term
for men that remain active over a
long stretch of years. Neither of
these two remained idle between
seasons. Wagner retired to the
woods as soon as the season closed
and spent his time hunting and
fishing. Cobb decided he would
spend his vacation periods hunting
That would keep him in the open air
and also provide the necessary exer-
