 The phoney report was circulated by local gossip peddlers who appar- ently don't even have nodding ac- quaintance with baseball Cronin represents a $250000 cash investment by Owner Tom Yawkey of the Red Sox who isn't kicking out a valuable asset when the clubs balance sheet show an $804, 4,560 defl- cit for the end of last season Besides, Joe, who is on the third year of a five-year contract, rates tops with Yawkey !. {. so forget the whole thing.
 Jimmy Foxx, the slugging first sacker who has been troubled with flu and a sinus ailment, is all set to return to the Sox lineup for the first time since the flag race got under way that means Mel Armada will be moved out to right field, replacing Buster Mills who hasn't been so hot at bat and par ticularly afield Foxx is down to 177 pounds-l0 pounds under weight.

New York, April 28-(UP)-Jack Torrance, the Bayou pumpkin who won gold medals in eating, sleeping and loafing Gall free-Style) for the United States in the last Olympic games, makes his New York pugil- istic debut at the Hippodrome to- night.
 He will go into mortal combat with one Abe Simon whose bay window, if not his genealogy, indi- cates that he is the Simon who met the pieman and has meen living of pies ever since. There are those who will discount this suggestion with the argument that the pieman, on be- ing accoSted by Abe, would have flattened him with a punch and walked on.
 Both these gigantic youngsters each weighs about the same as a rhinoceroS of high school age-will enter the ring with impressive rec ords. In his four professional fights since he abandoned the aesthetic life of shot-putter, Torrance has knocked out a grandfather's clock, a lightning rod salesman, an ap- prentice upholsterer, and an eel- jellier. All his victims were named Gus.
 Torrance will wear purple tights and the bodice of whitewash given him by the New York boxing com mission following the Louisiana scandal in which Torrance manful- ly refused to fight a tanker" when the tanker" didn't show up.

 Simon FavOrite
 Simon has been made the favor ite, and it is no wonder when one considers his record. He has had four times as many fights as Tor rance, and has beaten not only lightning rod salesman, a grand fathers clock, an eel-jellier and an upholsterer's assistant, but many others, including a stout fellow who manufactures home made mash for

SHORTAGE OF TYPE
OF COTTON ACUTE
I 1-8 Inch Staple so Scarce
Premium Is Being Of
fered for 1t

Hartsville S. c., Jan. 9.-Discussing
the trends in cotton production, David
r. Coker, widely known cotton seed
breeder says. he can see an acute
shortage of certain types of long
South will have to increase the aver
age length of its staple to meet the
requirements of American mills.
Said Mr.. Cocker: Cotton buyers and
mills are actively combing the south
for 1 1-8" cotton and are paying high
premiums for it. This years produc-
ton of this length will be much less
than the requirements Of the mills.
The acute shortage of 1 1-8" will re-
quire the use of larger than normal
amounts of 1 1872" and 1 $780,, caus-
ing, / believe, q shortage of these
these lengths also"
Ten years ago the eastern south
was producing very little cotton above
7-S" staple This year South Carolina
is producing over 70 per cent and
North Carolina over 60 per cent of
inch and longer They are, however,
not yet producing much 1 Is" cotton
about three per cent in South Caro-
lima and less than one per cent in
North Carolina. Georgia and Alabama
are producing practically no l 49,"
cotton and are far from meeting the
requirements of their mills for inch
to l lie"
1.-THE eastern cotton states, AEak
bama to Virginia, should and can pro-
fitably fill the demand Of their mills
for l Is" staple"
