Memphis, N'CW YOP-K, July 1G Tliere was an easier tendency at the cot ton opening, July starting unchanged nnd other months showing declines of 3S to S2 points on tho call While some traders were talking of the Cerman situation, tho point was made that there has been no change In this condition, and tho lower lex els were attributed nlmost entirely to the fact that many private reports wcro re ceded of rains In central, west and south Texas, although tho map recorded only .80 Inch at Palestine, with generally clear con ditions elbowhere There was a lack of de mand, as 'was Indicated by the fact that October sold first at 25 COc und then drop ped .to 25 44c before tho end of the call, while pecember fell from 25 11c to 25 20c Later n further decline of 11 points was made In October Later In the morning tho market had a 20 point rally on coerlng, but failed to hold tho Improvement, owing to tho olllclal fore cast for unsettled and showery weather In Texas October sold as low as 25.10c nnd December, 26 04c, or nearly $4 n bale down from Saturday's closo July, howeer, was down only about 18 points, and It was ru mored that part of Its strength was due to coierlng by Japanese Interests who had been prevented from making deliveries by the railroad congestion Wall street nnd local traders sold on the break and Liverpool operated on both sides of the market Uptown Interests, southern operators and Liverpool were fairly good bellers In the dealings, and while the buying by spot houses, local traders and Wall street was fair.

EVENING LEDGEKr-PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, JULY 16, 1917 Baker Is Accused in Baseball Plot Continued from I'Mei One that circuit, so It wns only logical that Johnron's suspicions wcro nroused Ho put Dnker on llic rack nnd asked him to explain. Tho story of tho plot, however, no longer is secret, but It turned out to bo nothing that would play havoc with the American League Two weeks ago Allan Sothoron, pitcher on the St lul llrowns, became dissatisfied with conditions nnd, caconllng to tho dope, wanted to Jump the club It Is claimed that he said that tho St Louis club did not live up to Its agreement nnd ha was ready to quit He heard of the Upland Club In the Delavvaro County Lengue and wrote Frank M Miller asking him if he could Join tho club After conditions had been explained, everything was fixed and Sothoron was to Join the club last Week On Saturday, however, he wired that ho decided to Btay with St louls nnd called everything off J norton Weeks, president of the Dela ware County League, nlso offered nn ex planation "The charge that llaker had anything to do with a plot to Induce players to Jump to this league Is nil bosh," he de clared "In the first place, wo don't do that kind of business, nnd It would be foolish If we tried Unless a man Is not legally tied to n blg-league club, we will have nothing to do with him Wo have no place for contract Jumpers "linker had nnthlnc to do with Hothoron's decision to Join the Upland club The pitcher got Miller's name from another player, whose name I will not divulge Anyway, llaker was In tho fcast when Sothoron wrote for n Job. so how could he tell him about It? "The entire trouble was started by a dis gruntled ball player who Imagined he was receiving n raw deal. Sothoron wanted to sever all connections with the St Louis club, and offered to come here of his own free will nnd nccord We did not ask him to Jump the league, nnd 1 doubt If any other plivers told him to do so It Isn't n crime for one big lengue plajer to give a man ager's nddiess to another and. to my knowl edge, that Is the ouly thing that was done Hut ou can take It from me, Haker has nothing to do with It." According to a dispatch irom i nicago, Johnson said ho waa Informed that Baker listened attentively to n proposition from Independent clubs in the East, who offered him ,i sum to Jump from New York, and that he approached Allen Sothoron, star joung pitcher, with the St Louis Browns, on the proposition "I wrote Baker to explain nnd he didn t nnswer' said Johnson "I'll give him until tomorrow If he doesn't come through clean he will be subject to a. heavy fine " Baker quit the Athletics at one time to play Independent ball, but returned to the American League.
