Associated Press Sports Writcrl
 NEW YORK, April f4-Not less than 20 bright, young players who have dreamed of baseball fortune to be found in the major leagues will have their ambitions realized this year.
 The score of arrivals is exclu- siye of pitchers for not even the managers know how many of the 1928 quota of pitching recruits will be among those present when the summer weather boils the kinks from more experienced pitching arms.
 Among several good young catchers coming up to the big leagues for the first time, Gus Mancuso, formerly of Syracuse, stands out with the St. Louis Cardinals. Mancuso is with the Red Birds as result of the sec ond thought of the management. He did good work for Syracuse but the parent club did not re- alize just how promising he real ly was until this Spring when he was ordered to join the major leaguers instead of the minors. Mancuso's name was not on the roster of the 1928 Cardinals fur nished before the team went South.
 Two new first basemen started from the jump, Del Bissonnette with the Brooklyn Robins and Bill Kelley of the Phillies. Andy Co., hen at second base for the Giants will be very much in the spot light as he succeeds Rogers Hornsby and may hear from time to time that "Hornsby would have got it' or Rogers would have done something if he had been up there."
 The St. Louis Browns have drawn on Tulsa for three infield- CTS, although one may have to double in brass by taking a turn in the outfield now and then Otis Brannon and Ralph Kress will play second and short for Dan Howley while Guy Sturdy will make himself generally useful around first base or in the out field.
 Chalmer Cissell will be called on. to play shortstop for the Chi .cago White Sox under the handi- cap of big price tag attached to his uniform. Arthur Whitney, who will cover third base for the Phillies, is one of the few drafted players to come through beyond dispute. Harry Riconda, who has been in and out of the big time. is back again with assurances Of remaining somewhere in the Brooklyn infield.
 A flock of young outfielders are breaking in. Eddie Morgan of Cleveland. Doug Taitt of the Red

BRITTEN STILL
HOLDS HOPE OF
ARMS FARLEY
Looks for Conference of
Legislators If Nations
Fail to Act.
By United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.--Chair-
man Britten of the house naval
committee has hopes for a confer
ence of American and foreign legis-
lators on disarmament, if the great
world powers before next August do
not summon a new arms limitation
session.
With his own committee on rec
ord in favor of extending the $3.50
naval ratio policy to other than
major battlecraft, Britten today
revealed to the United Press his
dream of a gathering of legislators
from the United States, Great
Britain, France, Italy and Japan in
conjunction with the interparlia-
mentary union session in Geneva
next August. He desires to see such
a conference of union delegates in
event the powers themselves do not
move for another arms reduction
session meantime.
Britten manifestly was cheered by
the friendly tone of Premier Bald
wins response to the Britten Sug-
gestion for United States English
parliamentary gathering. While
Baldwin did not accept the sugges-
tion-since it was made over the
heads of American diplomats and
contrary to established customs in
such caseS-he did indicate he was
appreciative Of Britten'S spirit.
Diplomatic sources had con-
demned Britten'S tour into the
realms Of diplomacy, but his own
committee indicated that without
wanting to dictate to any officials
it still favors, as heretofore, an ex-
tension of the principles applied to
the Washington arms Conferences
Britten told the United Press that
that he would not agitate, for the
present. His proposal for a limita-
tons conference between the United
States and Great Britain, adding 1T
is now up to the other fellow"
He said members Of the English
parliament have manifested a great
interest in the proposal and that
the seed for perpetual peace had
been sown.
THE conference Of legislators, II
one is held. would recommend just
what should be done. Each delega-
ton would report to it's home gov
eminent" Britten said.

Dupont GiUeS Up
His Seat in L. S. Senate
Delaware Scion Too III to
Attend Sessions for
Last Year.

~ OHtted FfeSS
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-Senator
T. Coleman Dupont (Rep., Dell,
who has been unable to attend sem
ate sessions for more than year
because of Ill health, has sent let
ter of resignation to Vice-President
Dawes.
The letter was received by Dawes
today from special messenger
from Delaware. Dupont stated his
health would ont permit him to
continue his Office.
Dawes said he did not know
what procedure should be followed,
but he intended to read it to the
Senate and have it referred to the
proper committee for action.
Gases of resignation in the Senate
have been unusual, the latest being
that of the late President Warren
G.. Harding, who was nominated for
the presidency while he YVES n scna-
tor from Ohio. Charles Curtis,
Vice President-elect, now q senator
from Kansas, is expected to pre-
sent his resignation shortly after
Jan. /.
The resignation usually is pre-
sented first to the Governor of the
state, who submits it to the Senate
as a matter of course, the senator
being primarily an officer Of the
state.

NOT MUCH DRINKING
No Problem in Colleges of
Indiana, Says Dr.. Alley.

President Robert J. Alley of But
Ter university believes the outburst
of the Rev. David Hepburn, super
intendent of the Anti-Saloon
League of Virginia, to the effect
that drinking at the University of
Virginia has become "a statewide
scandal" is a bit exaggerated.
T can not conceive of such a con-
dition existing at any college or uni
versity in the state of Indiana, -
DR.. Alley said.
Usually there are few who are
without sense of propriety at any
college who cause the bulk of trou-
BILE. However, I believe chat 1t can
be said that the few at Butler are
much too few to create a problem.
And from my observation, Indiana
and Purdue are not troubled

Of a federal court injunction di-

with New York prosecutors and the
Two women, agreed to remove from

dismissed.

COTTON PRICES DROP
IN EARLY TRADING
Market Opens Steady-Declines
Follow Southern Selling
Movement.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, october 5.-The cotton
market opened steady at decline OF
2 to points. under Southern selling
and liquidation, promoted by favor
able view of the weather news and the
rather easy showing of Liverpool.
There was some trade buying and
covering at the decline, which caused
rallies of a few points right after the
call, but the demand was not active
and prices soon Sagged of again. De-
cember sold down to 1888 and March
to 1870, with the market showing net
declines of about to points at the
end of the first half hour. There was
fair volume of business at the start
but trading later was quiet, much OF
it being attributed to further evening"
up in preparation for the Government
crop report of Monday A private re-
port issued today placed the crop indi-
cation at from 14.200,000 to 14,700,000
bales, compared with range OF 145OO,-
900 to 15,400,000 reported last month.
Private cables reported a dull market
in Liverpool, but fair turnover in cot
ton cloths for India and the continent.
Another private crop report made its
appearance during the middle of the
morning, placing the condition at SAL
and the indicated yield at 1897 900
bales. These figures failed to stimulate
buying, however, and the market was
rather easier during the middle OF the
day under further realizing or hqulda-
ton. December sold off to 1884 and
March to 1853, or about to IL points
net lower, and the market was within
a point or two of these figures at mid
day The average of crop estimates by
SO members of the New York Cotton
Exchange is 14,15O,00O bales, accord
ing to O canvass made this morning, the
highest individual estimate being A.
$50, 900 and the lowest 13,750000.
