Plank Pitching Marvel
Says Granitland Rice

Grantland Rice, the well-known sport.
ing writer, is responsible for the fol
lowing:
Forty-one years old and still leading
the pitchers Of big league. That is
the record now maintained by Eddie
Plank, the Gettysburg Guide, who in
his 4lst year, led the pitching, in earn
ed runs, as depicted by the Feds.
Plank worked in 40 games for st.
Louis. OF the 80 games completed, he
won 90, lost IL and tied l. He allowed
but two earned runs to the battle,
leading such men as Tom Season.
Claud Hendrix, Cy Falkenberg and
other stars.
The game has had its pitching won.
ders, but none to lead big league
with pitching arm Al years old.
The fourth Fed pitcher in the list
was Miner Brown, who was still good
enough to win IL games and lost but
six.
Brown and Matty.
The careers of Brown and Matty, old
rivals from eight or nine campaigns
back, have had queer and curious
twists.
In the campaigns OF 1905, 1907 and
1905 they were the leading pitching
rivals Of the game. Then three years
ago Brownie wrenched a knee and was
shipped back to the minors. He was
apparently through, as he was then 81
vars old. Matty, only S2 years old
then, was figured with a long spin
ahead. Yet last season, where Brown
won II games and lost but eight, Matty
drew the worst year Of his career
through a neuritie left shoulder.
But there is balm in all this for the
Giant star. Plank is star at Al, and
Brown still there at 10, Mathewson al
S5 should be q long way from the fin
ishing line--from the first lap. Will
that kink unraveled he should still
have five seasons ahead, and then be
no older than Plank or Brown is to

has already advanced $500 600 to the Chi
nese government TO be utilized in investiga-
ton. survey and location of lines and other
preliminary expenses.
The Chinese government ard the Ameri-
can international Corporation, in selecting
lines for construction. will take pains to
avoid interfering With any agreements
covering railway construction which have
been entered into By the Chinese government
with the various foreign governments or
banking groups At the present time there
are only about 3 900 miles of railroad in Chi
ma. While number OF roads have been con-
templated, they are more or less covered
BY agreements OF the character referred to.
The roads already built have been found
extremely profitable. China has been sadly
lacking in transportation facilities, and
wherever these have been improved. imme-
diate increases in business have resulted.
There are at present numerous lines which
are desired and whose operation 1t Is be-
lieved would be at once profitable.
China has made several unsuccessful
attempts recently to obtain large
oans in this country. Besides the
$500 900 already advanced by the Amer
can International Corporation, Lee,
Higginson e. Co. recently advanced
5 .OOO. 900 to the Chinese government,
and that is so far the total of Chinese
financing actually accomplished.

WHAT Mr.. DAWSON
SAID IN LONDON

The text Of a newspaper interview
given out in London oy Henry 7. Davi-
son. Of the firm Of }. 7. Morgan & Co..
on his arrival there early last month
which has just reached here, contains
much of an interesting character bear
ing on the foreign government loans
placed in the United States in recent
months and the attitude Of American
investors toward such securities. MI
DAWSON expressed qualification over the
successful hotaton of the recent $780,
600 900 British collateral loan. but said
that he would not like to leave the I'M
preston that the hotation of the credit
was all plain sailing.
The difficulty, he said, in placing such
credits was due in part TO the fact that
foreign loans arc new experience to
the average American investor. his IN
vestment horizon having hitherto been
pretty we'll bounded by his own coun-
try.

GAIN IN SEPTEMBER
STEEL OPERATIONS
Mills Did Not Accept All Bust
ness Offered Last Month.

There was a gain of about per cent
in the operations of the subsidiary COM
NAMES Of the United States steel Cor
poration in Sept .mber, as compared
with August, according to preliminary
estimates. The average daily produc-
ton Of all kinds Of products last month
was larger than in August, but because
of the fewer number of working days
the total September output was signify
less. That of finished steel is eSti-
mated at I,lli,OCO tons.
Shipments of rolled steel are esti-
mated to have been 100000 tons, and
the new business booked is believed TO
have been approximately 100000 tons.
Upon this basis there was decrease of
about $4,000 tons in untitled orders last
month. This is without special sig
nifcance, however, as the volume OF
business offered was much heavier than
was accepted by the mills.

BANKER MAKES PLEA
FOR THE RAILROADS
Justice, Not Compulsion, Want
ed. Saws Lewis B. Franklin.

Cincinnati, Oct. Am appeal for
Justice from legislative bodies based
on knowledge. was made to-day by
Lewis B. Franklin, of New York, presi-
dent of the Investment Bankers Asso
citation of America, now in convention
here.
1.-THE trouble with the present sys'
tenn Of regulation" said Mr.. Franklin,
sis that it is founded on the supposl-
ton that the railroad corporations are
malign creatures of a corrupt money
power and therefore repressive meas
ures are the only ones needed. While
there may in the past have been some
warrant for this idea. the time has
come when our legislators must awake
TO an appreciation of the fact that the
ownership of the railroads is in the
hands of a great mass Of the people
and to the necessity Of a constructive
policy instead of a destructive policy.
I'VE want intelligent action on these
problems. We do not want legislation
by neutrality-suspicious. from the
railroads, from the shipper or from
labor, but a fair decision based on
knowledge, not on suppositlon; on
equity and not OH political expedlence. "
More than 500 investment bankers
ere attending the convention. Ways
and means by which the Investment
Bankers Association can get in closer
touch with the financial pulse OF for
eign nations, particularly those of
South America, were discussed. The
foreign relations committee advanced
a proposition that, in effect, would
have the association as body CO.
operate and join the Philadelphia Com
mercal Museum, with the sole purpose
of ascertaining moro information rels-
tive to foreign countries. A motion to
this effect was adopted.

E1.mInls.er ot Public WEEKS. Editor OF "lhsenes
Economiuue Q, Finaneitre."
Paris, Oct. 1.-The Chamber of
Deputies voted to-day, without dis
cussion, in favor of plan to make
the postal service a regular banking
institution. A postal savings bank
already existed in France, and it is
now provided that postal savings &C
counts may become checking &C
counts.
For d checking account, the mini
mum deposit required is fifty francs
and checks in the form of postal
orders are payable without charges.
The Chamber adopted another law
giving a pension, varying from thirty
to fifty francs a month, to soldiers
suffering a decrease in pay on ac-
count of their inability TO carry
on former employment following
wounds or sickness caused by service
in the army. This is unquestionably
a patriotic duty, but will add heavy
item to the states budget.
The fact Of inability to do former
work is to be taken as prima facie
evidence that injuries received in the
army were responsible, and it rests
with the state TO prove the contrary.
There was considerable discussion
over this feature of the law on the
ground that it opens wide the door
for fraud.
The announcement already made
that an important part of the new
war loan is to be taken in London
has been confirmed.
