SWASTIKAS NIP
ALL STARS IN
PITCHERS duel

"Rudy" Ruterman, southpaw twirler
for the Swastikas, had the better of
q pretty pitchers duel with Regulo
Rivera yesterday afternoon and the
All Stars took an unexpected setback
in their pennant aspirations, when
they were given string of goose eggs
and the Swastikas scored in the initial
frame. Spectacular fielding sensa-
tional catches by the outfielders and
rifle shot throws that cut off runs at
the plate and also at the other bases,
kept the score low and the lone run
made by the Swastikas in the first
inning looked plenty good for a win
as the game closed with spirited
rally which was cut short when Rubio
grounded to the pitcher for q third out
with the bases full.
Ruterman got himself in several
bad holes but managed to pulled out
when his teammates fielded brilliantly
behind him. Childers nabbed two long
flies in the right garden that looked
like circuit clouts. Pinon Rubio and

CONSUMPTION OF
COTTON ABSORB
LARGE 1926 CROP

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. l, P-The
world consumption of American
cotton during the season ended
with the close of July was fixed
at 17,42,OOO bales in the annual re-
port of Secretary Henry G. Hester
of the New orleans cotton exchange
today.
The consumption report included
/ ,O43 900 bales of linters and ex-
cluded $4,000 bales Of Japanese
port and mill stocks which this
year formed part of the carry-over
totaling 7238.O00 bales.
Deducting 267OoO bales of Jap
anese mill and port stocks from
the previous seasons consumption
made the total 15,112OOO bales.
Including linters, Secretary Hes
ter placed the 1926-27 commercial
crop at 192O5929 bales, against
15.614,7O7 the previous season, while
the actual growth Of 1926 was
counted at 100000 bales against
17,425, 900 bales the season before.
The worlds consumption, Mr.. Hes
ter said, had never before reached
seventeen million bales. Correspond
ingly, cotton consumption in the
southern states, including linters was
the largest ever known.
Southern consumption was fixed at
| 5,71 ,391 bales, 692,465 more than was
consumed last year and 1901, ,273
more than the previous year.
Secretary Hester said the enor-
nous cotton consumption was large
ly due to the use of relatively
cheap low grade cotton which to q
considerable extent was substituted
for other growtlls by mills and other
consumers. He added that the world
had taken virtually all the Ameri-
can cotton it could get. Exports
amounted to eleven and quarter
million bales, he said, and the TAX
ings by American mills north and
south, totaled about eight and a
quarter million bales.
The consumption, he said, had
virtually absorbed the great drop
of the past year, when 19,1OO bales
were produced.

catches that ended batting rallies for
both teams.
Amaya came to bat with two down
in the sixth and lambasted the ball
between right and center. A hurry-up
relay from Childers to Reidy to Puzzi
caught the runner few feet from the
home plate. Puzzi nailed the runner
lust as he tried to slide to the rubber.
This was the nearest the All Stars
came to the score column. In the
sixth inning Pereyra walked, stole sec
ond and raced for third after a long
sacrifice fly had been caught in center.
In his hurry to get away from sec
ond after the throw he failed to touch
the base and was called out The
next batter lifted high fly to Austin.
In nearly every inning both teams
hit the ball squarely but always some
player would field the ball and the
runner would be out.
Regulo Rivera, who halls from a
Texas college, hurled good ball and
had plenty of stuff and a change of
pace that kept the hits we'll scattered.
Ruterman and Austin, who usually hit
well above the average were helpless
before CIle plGCI1l1lS VI rCIVeId.
Ruterman, portsider, put plenty of
speed on the ball and kept his curves
breaking on the inside most of the
game. The support accorded both
pitchers was sensational.
The Swastika victory places them
in the first place and the All Stars
dropped to third place. The standing
of the teams is as follows: Swastikas,
Speed Demons, All Stars and Yanks.
