Baseball NOIes
By HAMILTON

Especial to Gateway by United Pressl
 NEW YORK, August 26.-St. Louis, besides being the alleged hot test place in the world where they play baseball, can claim one more dis tinctiOu Included in the ranks of here tofore major league baseball clubs are two of the games most brilliant and versatile performers.
 With George Sisler outclassing all rivals as a utility man in the Amori- can League, his fellow citizen, -es Hornsby Of the Cardinals leads all op. position in the National organization.
 Hornsby who is playing his first year as big leaguer. has played all four positions in the iufeld and has done mighty well at it. or late he has been praucing around first base, but he has done most Of his playing at third base and shortstop He is said to be some shucks as a catcher too. but so far there has been no need for him to don wiud-pads and mask.
 
 Sisler. besides being star per former at first base, is a great out fielder, and can pitch a bangup game. His fork-hand style of throwing the ball handicaps him some as an m- fielder. but a short time ago he went to third when Jimmy Austin was laid up and turned in a perfect fielding day Sisler a college product. never played a minor league game. He is spending his second season in hc big show.
 Each of these stars ls a batting phenom of no mean ability. Housby, since the start Of the season, has not fallen below the 800 mark, while Sisler is cracking the ball right close to that and probably will go over it before the close of the season.
 There isn't a man in either league who can compare with these two mar vels as a utility man.
 Probably Clarence Mitchell of the Reds or Charley Mullen of the Yank- ees. comes nearest
 Mitchell is a star outfelder and can play first base satisfactorily Like wise. he is a good pitcher.
 Mullen is a aashy first sacker and can play tte outfeld or se.1oi bas"

is small at first and constantly IN
creases while the interest charge de-
creases. The sum of interest and prin.
cipal remain constant, and this is an
advantage as the tax is then uniform.
Serial Bonds.
The serial bond differs somewhat
from the annuity bond, because, in
stead OF keeping the annual payment
Of both principal and interest constant,
the amount OF principal that is re-
tired each year aione remains liked
This type of bond has become more
common for highway purposes in re-
cent years, and during 1912 and 1913
the number of serial issues exceeded
the number Of issues for any other
single given term. The Office OF pup
lie roads received reports from these
two years for SIS 5,300,s19 in the serial
highway bonds, which is over 20 per
cent OF the tota! county and district
bonds for which the period or term
OF issue was reported. The first re-
tirement of serial bonds is sometimes
deferred for a number OF years.
The continued success of highway
bonds as a means Of road Improvement
| will depend largely on whether or not
| the coanty authorities follow these
| principles OF sound road financing;
| {a) A steady and well administered
system OF meeting interest and proyid
ing for the retirement OF bonds or
maturity, whether by means Of sink
ing fund, by the annuity method, OF
through serial payments.
(b) The limiting OF expenditures fol
road improvements to sums which are
warranted by the actual saving II

ment will effect. In this item may

istence of the sinking fund is a con-
slant temptation to municipal omcers
to use it for purposes other than the
purpose originally intended. IL
county, for example, issues bonds tor
a second object, it is easy to argue
that the sinking fund already accumu-
lated may be used to purchase the new
securities and the finances OF the COM
n,unity are likely to become much con-
fused This is particularly true since
the officers in charge of such opera
tions are frequently changing. Sink
ing fund tax levies may be deferred
through carelessness or under pressure
of other needs. The sinking fund al
ways requires careful attention, De-
cause it does not progress automat-
ically in most cases. 1t has some
times been entirely neglected. The
total cost to the community OF a Bona
issue retired by a sinking fund Will
be considerably greater in the end
than the cost of the same bond issue
made by either the annuity method or
by the serial method.
By the annuity method of issuing
bonds both the principal and interest
are discharged by constant annual or
semiannual payments. The amount
of each payment or installment is de-
termined by the term of the bond. II
usually is necessary to subdiyide the
bond issue into individual bonds OF
800, $500. or $1,000 each. The result
ing periodic payment Of principal and
interest must vary slightly because OF
this adjustment. Under the annuity
plan the amount of principal retired

The proper method of retiring rural
highway bonds is one OF the serious
prohlems which must be worked out
by county commissioners and others
intrusted with tho expenditure or ROAD
funds The three metaots usually
followed for meeting bonds at maturity
are known as tho sinking fund, anhu-
ity. and serial bond plans.
Sinking fund Bonds.
Tho ma ajority of highway bonds now
outstanding have been issued as
straight terminable bonds to be- retired
by sinking funds. The term OF these
bonds varies from 10 TO 40 years,
With an average of nearly % years.
The fund to retire them Is accumu-
lated by annual mstailments paid by
the taxpayers, and is supposed TO draw
interest continuously and to accumu-
late a sufficient amount to discharge
the debt at maturity. The interest
which the sinking fund draws is usu-
ally from one to two per cent less
than the interest paid for the loan
Five per cent highway bonds are com
mon with the sinking fund calculated
10 draw three and one-half per cent in
terest.
The following table shows the an
nual payments which, with interest al
three, three and one-half and four pei
cent, compounded semi-annually, will
amount to 81, 1,0O0 at the end OF tern
of years.
