Pacific Gas and Electric Company.

Contrary TO expectations, the report OF
the Pacific Gas and Electric Company is
a good one. There were rumors that the
earnings Of the company were not running
at the usual good rate as result of the
strike and also because the company
had not issued a statement for some time.
There was an increase I'm gross of 1855
per cent to sl,315.227, over october last
year. while net earnings gained 1855 per
cent TO s521.56l and total income 27.9O
per cent, to s569.746. Compared with
gross increase OF 1885 per cent, the gain
OF only 2.31 per cent In operating ex-
penses, taxes and maintenance can he
considered very light.

TY COBB IN DETROIT
FOR CONFERENCE
Georgia Peach and President Navir
Are Expected 90 Come to Terms
at Meeting.

DETROIT, April Pity Cobb OF
Georgia will arrive in Detroit today to
discuss contract terms with President
Navin of the Tigers.
The Peach and Navin will get to-
gether as soon as the smuggling out
fielder gets into town and definite
conclusion to their argument is ex-
pected to be reached at their first con-
ference. Cobb knew before he left
Atlanta Tuesday night just what he
could expect in the way of salary
from the Detroit club.
What that amount is no one aside
from Navin and Cobb know. 1t won't
be $4,000 year which Cobb has de-
manded. That much is known from
the public statement from Nayin him
self.
Even though Cobb puts his name TO
a contract today it is likely that he
will be kept out of the game for some
time. There are several hundred
yards of red tape which must be I'M
raveled with the national commission
before he can play as he is under
suspension and subject to fine for not
reporting.
incidentally the size OF that fine Is
expected to have considerable bearing
upon Cobb's decision to sign. Then
again Manager Jennings may keep the
Georgian out of the game for a
while until the outfielder gets his eye
on the ball, thus giving Hugh High,
the recruit who has been attempting
to fill Tvs shoes, added confidence by
being allowed to remain in the game
even with the peerless one on the
bench
