"A striking feature Of the 1914 re-
turns is the complete disappearance
OF surplus or margin"
Figures presented showed the rail-
roads In eastern territory paid aver
age dividends Of ass per cent lin
1914. but that their earnings were S..
100000 less than the dividends, the
smallest paid In 10 years. This year,
Shriver declared, was the first In Is
years In which the railroads earned
no surplus over the dividends paid.
He pointed TO the Pennsylvania, New
York Central and baltimore & Ohio
railroads as examples. Their total
surplus after an average dividend Of
5.53 per cent was $461.235. against
$47, 083 900 In 1913, and q yearly aver
age Of $ss,7s3.000 for the last 16
years.
Shriver gave figures to show that
the roads In eastern territory have
invested sos, 100000 additional In
their properties In the past four years,
but that returns Of June 80. 1914,

GOLFING HINTS.
BY .STRAIGHT DRIVE.o

THE STANCE-If you will
stand at the first tee of any much
played golf course on tournament
day and watch the varied and
awkward positions assumed by
the different players you cannot
help but be impressed with the
Importance of acquiring an effec-
tive stance.
Many golfers sacrifice enormous
power by standing too close to
the ball. while others lose con-
troll by standing too far away
and reaching for the ball as they
hit it. OF the two faults I pre-
fer to see the latter. for it is
much easier to cure than the for
mer.
The best way to ascertain which
stance and position in relation to
the ball is suited to your build
is to carefully watch good play
ers of your own figure. When
you find out a style that enables
you to feel perfectly comforta Bile
as you address the ball you are
in a fair way to progress.

Johnson getting away with to l
victory because Of his superb work.
Fred Blanding, who had his poorest
year as a Nap, winning mighty few
games. pitched his best contest of the
year against Johnson, beating Wash
ington 3 to 2, August 5.
The Athletics gave Johnson his worst
beating of the year. August 20 the
Mackmen forced johnson to quit after
the fourth inning, with nine runs to
their credit, seven of them coming in
the fourth as the result of batting

vidual who handled Walter the rough
est. In the seventh inning of the game.
August 81, he tied up the game with a
home run, and in the fourteenth sent
Walter down to defeat with another
wallop for the circuit. Perhaps the
most unexpected defeat of the season
happened August 25. The game was
played at Washington; Detroit was the
opposing club. 1t was very dark day
and rain was falling slightly when the
contest started. Washington needed
the game badly to finish third in the
race and it was figured johnson would
surely score victory, with everything
