Bigger Dividend, hut Less Spent on
Physical Properties.
The dividend policy pursued by tho
Chesapeake and Ohio since 1t passed
into the control of Edwin Hawley and
his associates late in 1908 has not been
without criticism, says the New York
Suns financial editor yesterday In
1909 the dividend was increased to 4
per cent. and then again early thl,
year to per cent The earnings Of
the company, as reported from time to
time, indicated that the surplus APP
pltcable to dividends at the close of the
fiscal year 1910 would show a sub
stantial margin over tho present rate
of distribution, some estimates plac-
ing it as high as 10 per cent. It has
been pointed ont, however that during
the Hawley regime appropriations for
maintenance and improvements have
fallen off considerably. Appropriations
from current earnings for improve
menrs in 1909 We're s212,ooo. against
s634,oo0 in 1908 and s1,a47Ooo in 1907,
while the item Of maintenance de-
creased from s+,6s2 a mile in 1908 to
$+,2S3 mile in 1909

The Montreal franchise is still on the
the market at $4,000.
Chunks success Thursday afternoon
was explained yesterday when ho
stated that he had always worked in
the box until he found that he was a
better fielder than he was pitcher.
He butted into professional baseball as
a pitcher, but his batting eye won him
tielder's position when his arm showed
signs of weakening, AND he has been
playing the field since. Another reason
for his success was that the Colts were
trying to knock the balls all the way
to Ashland every time they swatted.
The result was that they missed the
ball.
There will be a double-header this
afternoon, IL it will only stop raining
long enough for the diamond to drain.
in which Verbout and Revelle will work.
II the Petersburgers will only play the
same variety of baseball that they
showed Thursday there is every prob
ability of Richmond going strong.
Petersburg, however, has a little way
of coming back strong, and there is
no banking on what will be done.

There are plenty of Republicans in New

they wish the victory Of Stimson would be

concerned in this matter.
