Tri-Weekly Market Reports
COTTON
NEW YORK, Oct. 9.—The cotton
market opened today at a decline
of 15 to 20 points under continued
selling, which probably found fur
ther encouragement in a better
weather map than expected and rela
tively easy Liverpool cables. Slight
rallies on covering and some trade
buying met considerable hedge sell
ing, however, and active months sold
30 to 34 points net lower before the
end of the first half hour, Decem
ber declining to 23.63 and January
to 23.71. Early weather reports
showed no sign of the predicted
frost and early sellers appeared to
be influenced by a belief that the
crop had improved since the canvass
for yesterday's government report.
After selling off to 23.61 for De
cember or about 34 to 35 points net
lower, offerings became smaller and
th* market steadied on covering and
reports that the trade had pur
chased a good many contracts on
the decline. Covering later became
more active on rumors that a trop
ical disturbance was forming in the
southeast and the market advanced
to 23.89 for December or within 6
points of yesterday’s closing quota
tion. There was no definite confir
mation of the tropical storm rumor
and prices at midday were a few
points off from the best.
The mid-day rallies met southern
and New Orleans selling and the ear
ly afternoon market was quiet, De
cember selling around 23.69 at 2
o'clock or 26 points net lower. Num
erous reports were received from the
south claiming that the spot basis
had firmed up decidedly on the de
cline In futures.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 9.—The
rotton market developed an easier
trend from the start today. Liver
pool was lower than due, and the
weather map was favorable, the cold
wave predicted yesterday having
tailed to materialize, and very little
rain being shown. First trades were
11 to 16 points down, and the mar
ket continued to ease off after the
opening call until December traded
Sown to 23.58 and January to 23.60,
or 33 to 37 below the close of yes
terday. Trade buying at the decline
absorbed contracts fairly well, and
lhe market showed a steadier tone
nt the end of the first half hour of
trading although prices rallied but
little.
The market, after declining a little
further to 23.54 for December and
it. 57 for January, or 7 to 40 points
below the previous close, had a good
lally, and recovered nearly all the
early loss, December recovering 29 :
points from the low and January -X j
points, The upturn was due to good I
trade buying at the ’ower level of
prices, price-fixing by mills and
lather liberal buying for Japanese
iccount due to less favorable pros
pects for the Indian crop.
There was temporary selling on
:he announcement from London that
$ general election would result from
:he defeat in parliament of the gov
ernment, but the market soon rallied
;gain under the influence of trade j
Miying. Exports for the day totalled j
17,376 bales, including 1,980 bales j
irom the Pacific coast.

THE ATLAXTA TKt.WEEKLV JOUKXAIi
GRAIN
i j CHICAGO (Thursday), Oct.
•> The wheat market today was in a
I highly nervous state. Prices flu<-
- tuated so much that at times it was
-j difficult to know the trend. Corn
and oats followed the leader, but
n their fluctuations were not so erratic
, las wheat. Provisions were irregular.
' i The biggest surprise of the day
[I came at the opening when wheat
, [prices broke nearly a cent from the
' * previous close in the face of an ad
’ vance of 2 1-4 to 3d in Liverpool. It
. was evident that the local trade be-
J lieved that the advance in the Eng
lish terminal was too strong to be
a natural one, and, therefore, placed
\ selling orders in the market for the
! opening. Commission houses bought
’ freely and caused a sharp rally. On
the bulge, though, there was more
wheat for sale than the market could
absorb. Locals covered short wheat
about midday, and caused another
bulge.
The foreign demand is not nearly
so good as of late, and overnight
sales were reported at 400,000 bush
els. Local shippers are feeling the
effect of competition from Duluth.
That port is embargoed because of
the shortage of elevator room, and
they are forcing sales to the sea
beard by making concessions in
prices. Late yesterday Duluth sold
a cargo of wheat at 3 cents over De
cember cif. Buffalo. This w r as half
. a cent under what local shippers
. were bid early the day before. They
had no bids from the seaboard this
morning.
Trade in corn was largely local.
Prices were bid up early because of
the wpt weather, but the market sag
ged with some heavy selling by com
mission houses. Prices broke again
under local pressure, but about mid
day the buying power improved and
a better tone was noticed. Ship
ping demand was light. Only a few
small lots of corn were booked to
arrive on overnight bids.
Wheat closed 1% to 4%c lower.
' Selling by longs was a depressing
' factor late in the day. December,
’ 81.49%; May, ?1.54@1.54%; July,
' 81.3 4 vis t(f 1.3a.
' Hedging pressure and realizing
sales depressed oats, but the rally in
corn pulled prices up.
Short covering caused a late rally
in corn. The market closed
higher to %c lower. December,
51.13%Cd>1.13V 2 ; May, $1.16@1.15%;
July, $1.1614 ®1.16%.
Oats closed % to 1c lower. * De
cember. 56@56%; May, 60%@60%;
July, 58%.
Packers bid up nearby deliveries of
lard. Deferred futures were under
pressure, but recovered in sympathy
with corn.
Lard closed 2%c higher to 15c
lower; ribs unchanged to 10c lower
and bellies, 10; higher to 10c lower.
Local cash sales were 40.000 bush
els of wheat, including 390,000 bush
els to exporters; 140,000 bushels of
corn; 7,000,000 bushels of oats and
5,000 bushels of barley.
The seaboard reported 1,000.000
bushels of wheat and 500,000 bushels
of rye taken for export.
Vessel room was chartered for
300,000 bushels of wheat to Buffalo
; and 240,000 bushels to Montreal.

| Slienaiifioah was over Ifan, Texas,
I at 3:25 p. nt., Mountain lime, travel
ing at the rate of 40 miles an hour,
v/hieh should bring it over El Paso
shortly alter midnight.
EASTLAND. Texas, Oct. 9.—(By
the Associated Press.) —The Shenan
doah passed over Eastland at 12:05
I - , m. A strong wind from the
I south was blowing and the ship oc
casionally had to turn into the
wind to keep on its course. This
was believed to be putting it behind
schedule.
FORT WORTH, Tex., Oct. 9.—(By
the Associated Press.) —After a delay
of 45 minutes waiting for the sun
to come from behind some low-hang
ing clouds and shine long enough
to expand the helium in its huge
body, the naval dirigible Shenandoah
cast off from Fort Worth on the
second leg of its transcontinental
flight at 9:46 a. m., central standard
time.
After circling - over Fort Worth,
the silvery grey ship turned its nose
toward the west, with San Diego
Cal., as its next port of call. The
trip from Fort Worth to the coast
will be made along the right-of-waj'
of the Texas and Pacific to El Paso
and thence along the Southern Pa
cific railroad for the remainder of
the hop.
Lieutenant Commander L. Han
cock, the executive officer of the
ship, who was in charge of navi
gation from Lakehurst to Fort
Worth, immediately before the ship
departed, estimated that the trip to
El Paso would lake approximately
14 to 16 hours, making the passage
over that city come some time after
10 p. m., mountain time, instead
of 6 n. m., as was first announced.
With favorable winds on the other
side of El Paso, the trip to San
Diego probably will be made in 39
hours, he declared.
When the ship cast off it had suc
cessfully completed its first night a’
a strange landing station, switched
tn a strange mooring mast. Though
the craft has made several over
night flights its earthly connect'O”.
had always been at Lakehurst, N.
J. its home port.
As the ship cast off, a. cheer went
up from the large crowd that had
assembled. Immediately the ship
was joined by an escort squadron
of five airplanes which accompanied
it for several miles.
The Shenandoah circled abov*
Fort Worth at an elevation of 1,200
feet, then gradually rose to 2,000
feet. The weather was right when
the ship left the mooring mast.
During the night the ship took on
I, gallons of gasoline, about 500
gallons of water ballast and fifty
gallons of lubricating oil, in addition
to food for the crew.
As the pioneers of old blazed the
trail across the trackless plains of
the continent, so is the Shenandoah
blazing the trail for lighter-than-air
type of craft, for it is the first dirigi
ble ever to land west of the Missis
sippi river. There have been several
of the non-rigid types of airships to
visit the central west, but naval men
declare that the Shenadoah is the
first rigid type to do so.
The Shenandoah, which, in the
language of the child, is the “pet”
of the aero department of the United
States navy, because it was designed
and built by American naval men in
America, is now embarked upon the
most extended cruise ever attempted
by a dirigible. The ship will traverse
three sides of the United States, be
ginning its journey at Lakehurst, N.
J. crossing the United States to lhe
south and following the Pacific coast
as far north as Camp Lewis at Lake
view, Wash.
The trip will be made in jumps of
approximately 1,400 miles each, the
return journey to be made by the
same route. At San Diego and at
Lakeview, mooring masts have been
erected especially to care for the
huge ship while visiting there,
though the present plans only call
for an overnight stop at each of the
places, Lieutenant Commander Zach
ary Lansdowne, commander of the
flight, declared.
First Leg Successful
The first leg of the flight ending
at Fort Worth was unusually suc
cessful, Rear Admiral W. A. Moffett,
chief of the bureau of naval aero
nautics. who is the official observer
of the trip, declared.
The ship made the jump from
Lakehurst to Fort Worth in approxi
mately thirty-four hours, arriving
here about eight hours ahead of
schedule. The actual performance ,
of the ship was in all respects better
than the schedule. Admiral Moffett
said. Her speed was faster, fuel con
sumption less, neither personnel nor
mechanism met with accident; and
the ship passed through a touch of
rough weather in Louisiana without
a tremor, the admiral said.
According to the record of the en
gineers, less than one gallon of gaso
line was used a mile. The ship is
propelled by five six cylinder motors,
each of three hundred horse power.
The quantity of lubricating oil was
too small to be of record, though the
motors maintained an average en
gine speed of 1.000 revolutions a min
ute. During the flight 1,000 gallons
of water were recovered by means of
condensers from the gasoline con
sumed in the motors. The water bal
last thus manufactured was heavier
than the gasoline which it replaced.

Johnson “Just a Tired Old
Man After an 18-Year-Old
Dream,” Declares G. Rice
BY GRANTLAND RICE
NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 9.—The years are the great collGclor.
of all competitive life. Like hunting ghosts at midnight, with
silent tread and shadowy presence, they come to collect their
toll as they leave behind only the mocking memories of youth.
Walter Johnson, one of the three greatest pitchers that, ever lived,
with Christy Mathewson and Denton Tecumseh Young, fell again into
the dust of defeat. He was cut down, not so much by the pounding
of the Giants, as by the relentless scythe of the ancient father who is
without sentiment and without reverence.
Johnson lost his second game of
the series, 6 to 2, before a record
Ciowd as the Giants moved to with
in one game of the golden goal that
waits just beyond. So the vast
shadows of despair hang heavily
over Coffeyville, Kan., and Wash
ington, D. C., where the big, broad
shouldered, sandy-haired pitcher is
something more than a pitcher with
a fast ball. Walter Johnson, to these
two towns, is something more than
a pitcher with a brilliant past. He
is one of the paladins, a beau
sabeur of sport, an outstanding fig
ure of modesty and courage and
fairness and great skill. But John
son had waited too long, here fate
and time, the relentless prosecutors,
take no heed of anything but tacts
For eighteen years, Johnson, wita
his fast ball singing through the
air, had become one of world series
glory. He had broken records en
route, but his team wailed too
long.
When all the game is young, lad.
And pitching arms arc keen.
When morning songs arc sung, lad.
Along the sporting green.
Then hey for any game, lad.
Around the uorld of play.
Young hlood will f ind, its fame, lad,
And stars icill have their day.
But. when lhe. game is old, lad,
And, pitching arms arc worn.
In search, of fame and gold, lad.
The aging nerves are torn.
And- in. the deadly swerve, lad,
Where hearts must he unstrung.
God grant you. find, one curve, lad,
You threw when you were young
Mr. King Levy knew the ways of
sport. Johnson, at thirty-eight, had
passed the prime of his greatness.
At thirty-eight, in the drive of com
petitive sport, after eighteen years
of struggle, one may come upon a
great day by some happy chance
but the odds lean to the sinew and
the stamina of youth. For eighteen
years the Coffeeville cyclone had
been sending his fast, ball by the
whirring bats of countless stars. In
that long span the old elastic has
ebout worn out. The rubber was!
gone, stretched to the breaking
limit.
Stamina Gone
They got twelve hits from the star !
veteran in his first game, and beat :
him after a gallant struggle in his i
fifth game, and his second start the ■
Giants collected, thirteen hits and 1
three of the six runs came in the I
eighth inning when the speed king i
was .just a tired old man, calling
upon something that had passed. I
The passing years had collected their |
toll, and when Johnson called upon I
his reserve force he found that the
cupboard was empty and nothing
was left but weariness and heart
ache and defeat.
Here, in this fifth game, wert all
the settings and the trappings. The
flares were ready to be lighted in
far-away Coffeyville to spread their I
story of victory across the western I
plains.
Here was one of the vital games
of the series before the greatest
crowd. The president of the United
States was waiting eagerly and
anxiously for each play. Thousands
of letters had come to Johnson, giv
ing encoure„gement for success. We
know of one eight-year-old Wash
ington lad who sobbed his heart out
all night when the king was k..iten
in his first start. Eighteen ’-ea»s
and the second chance after defeat.
And we happen to know the dead
13' earnestness Johnson felt, not only
for himself but for this national i p
peal. They were all for him. Every
thing was for him but that grim,
remorseless and haunting ghost
known as time. These encroachin*
years are the most merciless of all
life’s factors. They are without
sentiment or regard for beauty or
tor skill. Their business is to col
lect the toll.
Fifty Thousand Watched
Over 50,000 fans at the Polo
grounds sat and watched young i
Giants hammer Johnson’s speed and I
curves for thirteen hits and six rurs. i
In the two games that he had pitch- i
ed Giant bats had played the funeral !
march upon this once all-conquer- ’
ihg right arm for twenty-five hits ■
and ten runs as the spectre of time .
looked into his weather-beaten face '
and laughed at the vain efforts of
an old man in sport, trying to pla> r
with kids.
One of these kids was Fred Lind
strom, the young Giant third base
man. Lindstrom is eighteen years
old. He was born about the time f
Johnson won his first big league ,
game. Lindstr m tore into Johnson
for four hits. He had his seven hits '
for two days He was eighteen
against thirty-eight. He had a start
of twenty years.
If 3'ou think this means nothing
3*ou know but little of competitive ;
sport. Thirty-eight is young in many i
fields. One may have the snows of 1
winter upon his head and the sun- ;
shine of April upon his heart at sev
enty. But not in the grind and rush '
of competition.
For seven innings Johnson gave
big Jack Bentley, the fast left-hand- I
er, almost an even battle. Through ‘
the first half of the eighth the score ;
fl was 3 to 2 in favor of the Giants.
I Two of these three Giants runs had
been due to Bentley’s home run in
II the fifth, when he scored Hank
tlGowdy also, with a blasting wallop
i'l into the upper tier of the l ight field
i-1 stands. This made the third home
- run hit off Johnson in the series.
Goslin Breaks Out
1 I Tn the eighth the unsuppressable
e | U-oslin hit his third home run, tying
I i Babe Ruth’s record. The Gray Goose
£ - ! was still honking high in the heav-
J I ens of fame. He had made six hits
and two home runs in the last twe
-*■ games. Washington was still in the
’I game until the last of the eighth.
It was here that Johnson broke
>' down completely. rle called upon
everything he had but there was
I I little left. The old machine was
B [creaking badly. There was almost
3 ■ no gasoline left. Kelly opened this
1 ! fatal chapter with a single. Terry
walked, and Johnson's error, due to
overhaste on Wilson's bunt, filled
the bases.
The king- was dying, but no crown
prince is announced until the throne
is vacant. A sacrifice, a fielder’s
■ choice and hits by McQuillan, who
had followed Bentley, and by Lind
strom, scored three runs. That was
quite enough.
Bentley got through neatly' until
the eighth. After Goslin had struck
off his home run, Judge singled.
With an arra.v of right-handed hit
ters coming up, McGraw elected to
send in McQuillan. Besides, it
might have started a precedent to
let any one pitcher finish a game.
This is the day of the seven-inning
pitcher. Few go any further. Bent
ley had been doing quite well, and
his home fun had been a vital fac
i tor, but out he went in the wake
lof just two hits. In the sixth inning
i Bentley's fast curve ball had struck
I out the side. He had fanned Rice,
' Goslin and Bluege. He was moving
[ along like a champion until the re
, doubtable Goslin hit his third home
. run of the series and the fifty-sixth
■ home run of the world series play.
There had been fifty-five world series
home runs hit before if the vital
statistic has its appeal. It was the
fifth home run hit off Bentley, who [
l seems to have home run balls in his
skillful repertoir. Ruth had hit
four in world series games, and
; Baker, Gardner, Ward and Meusel
,1 had each hit three until Goslin came
f along to join the select caravan.
Another Chance
I And Goslin has another chance.
' Maybe two more chances, if the se-
■ lies goes to seven games and Zach
i ary stops Nehf in the sixth en
i counter.
The Giants now need only one
[ more game. B.ut the next two. if
I they are both needed, must be play-
I ed on Washington soil, where the
I fragrant odor of home cooking will
help to buoy up Buck Harris and
! his tribe. And this game, hard-
■ fighting Washington bunch may' go
the route. They have Zachary left
and after Zachary thej' have Mo
gridge and Marberry. If they can
beat Nehf and his wounded hand
on Thursday they still have the
edge. And Nehf still has a throb
bing mitt. I
[ Johnson was far off in his second
| start. In the third inning he rapped
' a long hit to left that looked as if
it would carry into the 'stands. But
the ball struck the top edge and
bounded back. Johnson, turning
first, jogged on towards second as
if he had a home run to ride on.
He was halfway down when he dis
covered his mistake and so was
nailed before he got back to first.
A Tough Break
McNeely and Harris followed with
hits and if Johnson had been alert
the bases woula have been full with
none out. This might have made a
vast difference. As it was the next
two men went out and Washington i
had made three hits in a row with- >
out getting a man as far as third. ;
This is one for the historians. It 1
certainly never happened before in ;
any world’s series.
The Giants scored their first run i
in the third on singles by Jackson, 1
Bentley and Lindstrom. Washing- \
ton tied it up on singles by Judge ■
and Miller. The big denoten came
in the fifth when Gowdy singled
and Bentley hit one into the right
. field stands. This was the crush- i
: ing volley of the game. It gave the ;
j Giants an edge to work on.
; The subsequent details with John
son’s eighth inning collapse, have
, been related. The brilliant star of
| other years was now just a tired old i
man at the end of an eighteen-year
old dream.
No team has yet won two games
straight. No team has had the
pitching equal to any such feat. If
Nehf is not at his best Thursday
j Zachary may beat him as the Giants
i have faded badly before all left-hand- '
' ers sent against them. Thev have !
J crushed the right-handed element '
but have wiltered before the south- ;
paws. And Zachary is a first-class !
workman. So is Nehf, is his hand 1
■ is no longer throbbing with pain.
j W ashington, however, remains in ■
i the fight back home. Buck Harris i
1 and his outfit have never quit yet. !
i They have hammered away against
■ heavy odds and there is a chance
that b>' the next game Peckinpaugh ;
will he back. This may make a vital |
difference. One game in this series [
| makes but little difference where [
I each club is trying vainly to find
; one pitcher who can go the route. '
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1»24.
U. S. FOL STORES
COMMISSION TELLS
OF FORM SURVEY
PENSACOLA, Fla.. Oct. S.—The
turpentine industry abroad as viewed
b.v the American naval stores com
mission. visiting Spain and France in
the summer of 1924, furnishes the
basis for advfee to American opera
tors, contained in the report of the
commission made public here by lhe
chairman, J. G. Pace. The commis
sion visiting the turpentine opera
tions abroad was made up of Mr.
Pace, A. C. Carr, of Bainbridge, Ga.;
O. H. L. Wernicke, Pensacola; S. A.
Alford, Chipley; W. L. Barnett,
Mount Dora, and W. L. Fender, Val
dosta, Ga.
The report gives a detailed account
of the journey beginning at New
York July 9, following the commis
sion to Paris, Bordeaux and other
French cities and villages, on to
Madrid and Spanish towns.
Summing up the result of its in
vestigation under the head of “rec
ommendations of the commission,”
it is said that the commission is not
convinced of the necessity or wisdom
of adoption by southern naval stores
operators of the French sj'stem with
respect to the details of cupping and
actually working the trees. Investi
gators, it is pointed out, are working
out practices here as to width of
face, height and depth of streak, etc.,
which is best adapted to conditions
and southern operators are urged to
acquaint themselves with the result
of these investigations.
Saying that gum is needlessly im
pure when brought to the still much
greater care is urged in chipping
and dipping.
Another recommendation is adop
tion of the French practice of clean
ing and purifying the gum before it
is distilled, such practice insuring
more profitable operation.
“We cannot, say whether it would
be profitable for the American opera
tor to shift from the direct fire to
the steam type of still." says the re
ort, and “we believe that the bleach
ing process is profitable, but this is
a point for further investigation and
experiment.”
French Labor System
Obvious benefits are found in the
French labor sj’stem, notably the
greater personal interest of the mer.
who do the woodswork and the great
er efficiency secured in care and use
of woods equipment.
“Certainly the French system
should not be dismissed as not adapt
ed to our labor situation until many
of us have made an earnest effort to
appl.v it to our oper-Ktions,” says the
report.
“Our cups should be raised each
year, our chipper should carry a pad
dle. Cleaner gum at the still will
pay,” it continues. Emphasis is laid
on the statement: “Over-cupping and
the capping' of trees under 25 years
of age must stop if the naval stores
industry of America is to survive.”
“This brings us Io the outstand
ing feature of the French industry
and to the most important lesson one
can pass on to our fellow operators in
America, the lesson of Landes,” the
recommendations declare.
“The French naval stores region—
the Landes—comprises about 2,000,-
900 acres. It is a triangular area
bounded on the west by the .Atlantic
ocean, on lhe north and east by the
Garanne river, on which is situated
the city of Bordeaux, and on the
south by the Adour river, at the
mouth of which lies the old city of
Bayonne. The region is equal ini
size to about five average counties
of Georgia or Florida. It was orig
inaHy an enormous swamp in the
rainy season and an arid, sandy des
ert the. rest of the year. It was the
poorest, most unhealthful part of
France.
“It was reclaimed, drained and
planted io maritime pine, started
about 125 years ago and carried on
in the face of many obstacles.
“The maritime pine is not so good
a producer of gum nor is it ne»rly
so valuable for saw timber as out

longlcaf and slash pine. It. is a fast
grower and prolific seed bearer.”
System Old
The report points out that the trees
were originally planted but the bulk
of tne present crop is the result of
natural reproduction. The forest
practice and management of naval
stores there is based on timber pro
duction —not timber mining. "They
were a hundred years ago where wc
are today, cnly much worse off than
we are,” the report claims.
“What are the conditions in Lan
des today?” the report asks, and
answers, “we found it covered with
an unbroken forest of maritime pine
in all stages of growth from a seed
ling to saw timber.”
“Two million acres of the Landes
produces one-fourth as much naval
stores as our whole south,” says the
report. “The future of the region is
assured on a permanent basis. Pro
duction can be increased at the rate
I of 5 per cent for the next 10 years.
“What is the lesson, does their suc
cess lie in the soil, the climate, the
species of pine or intensive Euro
pean conditions generally?” is anoth
er question with the answer, “No.
We have better soil, better climate,
better pines.” The explanation of
the commission is partly in the
methods but more strikingly in the
acceptance of the principle that tim
ber growing comes first.
“Whether or not our past meth
ods were justified by conditions as
we found them no longer matters
Today our inexhaustible timber is al
most gone. The naval stores indus
try of the south must continue and
it must look to second-growth for its
raw material,’’ says the report.
“Continuous forest production
must, therefore, be given the place
of first importance in the future
course of the industry," it continues.
“Every factor, except taxation, tends
to make it easier for us to build our
future on this basis than it was for
vhe French. Bad taxation practices
can lie corrected and we must see
that is corrected so that the owner
of pine lands is not only encouraged
to grow continuous pine crops but
that our government, which is of the
people, shall receive a full measure
of permanent, reasonable yield tax
revenue, rather than a temporary
and inflated yield which is self de
structive in effect.
“The story of Lxindes is the story
of opportunity. Our handicaps are
few indeed and the promise of the
future to our southern naval stores
states is great indepd, compared with
