se League clubs it must be remembered
that many changes will be made during
the first month of the race and line-ups
- —that appear now to be certain to start
will be considerably altered.)
By AL PARKER
Beaumont last season finished in
eighth place—a landlag that was not
now to the Exporters.
Beaumont this year is depending
upon Jim Galloway. Taxes League
land mark, as its Moses, and it is a
certainty that Jeemes has made some
progress toward leading the Ex-
porters out of the wilderness. Beau-
mont does not resemble a pennant
contender. Neither does the club ap.
pear to be doomed for another year
in the cellar. The team looks as
good M at least two others, but
sUU its “paper” strength shapes up
as short of first division propor-
tions.
If all departments were as eer-
tain as the infield, better things
could be said. Galloway at first,
Tom Connolly at second, Bernie De-
viveros at short and Andy Woehr at
third make up an infield that will
not be the worst in the league by
any means. Galloway had one of
his best seasons in the Texas
League at Waco last year. Though
be la a year older. It is reasonable
to expect another good season of
him. He la a great hitter. Con-
nelly at second hae all the ability
in the world, but heretofore, he has
been disposed to show but little
of it. The writer knows Connolly
well and believes he will play ball
for Galloway. All of which would
mean that the Exporters will have
one of the best keystone men In the
league. Deviveros at short to all
that could be desired of a short-
fielder. Hs is a steady hitter and
a good fielder. Woehr at third is
no batting star, but a good consist-
ent plugser. Paddy Reagan, a vet-
eran from the Three-Eye League, is
scheduled for the utility job.
Individually, the Exporters who
are back from last year should be
better ball players. There ta a bet-
ter spirit at Beaumont since the
change of ownership and manage-
ment and there is more to play for.
Deviveros and Woohr each should
have better seasons than in 1925.
The Exporter outfield does not
stack up as a world boater, but it is
likely that Galloway will be willing
to stand pat oa his present trie.
There is not a real slugger in the
outfield and batting power must be
contained in the outer gardens of a
successful ball club. The Exporter
fly hawks are not weaklings, but
still ths combined swatting power
of the three does not measure up
to standard. “Red” Ormand, the
only outfield holdover, is probably
the best hitter, and his mark last
year was .320. Yank Davis, veteran
from the Southern league, hit .331
for Nashville. He should do as well
in this league. Guy Dunning com-
pletes ths present outfield. He has
V been around class A and B circuits
I for several years and he always has
come up short in a hitting way. He
is likely to be supplanted by some
other before long.
Llhe catching stacks up as okeh,
' with Claude Robertson slated as the
first string receiver. With Dallas
a number of years back he was one
sf the league's best. George Boelse
from the Three-Bye League is said
to be a real find and likely will be
the reserve maskman, though Ennis,
a youngster from the coaat league,
to a contestant for the job. Boelese
hit .283 for the Danville, III., club,
while Ennis did not show so well
with the stick in faster company.
The real weakness in the Export-
sr scheme is the pitching. The Ex-
porters haven’t a teaser who san
bs ranked as a certain winner. Meet
et the chunkers are veterans wks
have been ths real goods in years
gone by and this may be the year
for some of them to deliver in grand
style.
Dana Fillingim, Bert Lewis, Hal
• Devinney and Dan Eberhard are the
bridevers. New additions are
Wheeser Dell, ham Ross and Logan
Drake. The four pitchers remain-
ing from last season won only 39
games all fold, so it may be readily
k seen that the Exporters are in a
bad way for chunking talent Eber-
hard le the only youngster of the
quartet. He always has shown a lot
of staff—along with inability to
win—and this may be his year to
soma through.
Net much can be said of tho talent
that has been imported. Drake
looked every bit a winning pitcher
while with the Spudders. But late
—in 1924he sustained a finger in-
Jury that finally led to the ampu-
lation of the member. He could not
overcome the handicap last season
. and was released by the Wichita
k Falls club. He has pitched sensa-
tionally for the Besumonters this
spring, and he is just about the
Mentent pitching provpeot on the
Dell could win only 10 games for
the pennant winning Atlanta Craek-
ers, which does not speak very
highly for him. He is a veteran of
II years and can hardly be expected
to be improving. Rose will be re-
membered with the Fort r Worth
club a couple of years back. Bo
won only six games for St. Joseph
in the Western League loot sea-
r son. 1
Additional pitching strength and
* bit more punch in tho outfield
would advance the Exporter stock
considerably, but until Galloway
makes these improvements, his club
Appears harmless. Galloway’s pres-
fence at tho helm should assure
smart, hustling baseball from this
’ club, and that goes a lang way
toward winning games. a

NEW YORK, April 15. or—The
cotton market opened steady at an
advance of * points to a decline of
6 points. Near months were relative-
ly firm on further covering by May
shorts, while there was selling of
new crop positions on prospects for
bettarweather in the south and
easy Liverpool cables. -
After selling at 18.99, May eased
off to 18.88 and new crop months
showed net losses of shout 4 to 1
points at the sad of ths first hour.
There was a continued demand for
May, however, and the maintenance
of the near month premium seemed
to hold selling in check, the market
showing a fairly steady undertone
at tho decline.
Ths market. was culet later in
the morning end much of the busi-
nees represented switching from
May to July at 57 and II points,
and from May to December at
about 170 pionts. At these differ-
ences there seemed to be enough
May cotton for sale, but the main-
tenance of the near month premi-
um had a sustaining influence and
prices held generally steady. Some
selling of now crop months devel-
oped on the hope of clearing weath-
er in the south tomorrow, but It
was restricted by the prospect for
further showers In the eastern belt
tonight At midday May was rul-
ing around 18.93 and October at
17.65, or about two points higher

New Orleans Cotton.
NEW ORLEANS, April 12.(0— The
cotton market opened easier, not-
withstanding thatLiverpool was
bettar than due. Ths weather map
showed little rain, which was the
mats cause of the easier tone. First
trades showed losses of ons to thres
points. Prices rallied after the call,
however, owing to the prospects of
omre unsettled weather. May ral-
however, owing to the pre
omre unsettled weather, may
tied to 18.18. July to 17.75 and Oo-
tober to 16.93, or two to five prints
above the opening and one to three
points above Saturday’s close. Trad-
ing was quiet as operators were
awaiting developments.
The market ruled quiet during the
morning, but prices wers irregular
as near months supported by a bet-
tar spot demand improved while
new crop months sold off slightly.
May traded up to 18.23, July to
17.77, or 4 to 7 points above Sat-
urday’s close, while October eased
off to 16.88 and December 16.91. At
noon prices were steady with old
crops at or near the highs and new
crop months at the lows. New crop
months appeared to be influential
downward by prospects for better
weather.
The market was active during the
afternoon, but prices continued to
show the seme irregular tendency,
advancing on near months and de-
elining on new positions. Thoro was
considerable covering by near
month aborts and. transferring ts
new months which accounted for
the comparative weakness of the
latter position. July traded at 17.99,
Which was a new high, and May at
18.23. October made a new low at
16.87 and December at 16.90, or (
to 6 points below Saturday’s close.
