Gunmakers Appear Strongest
Nine in Section Two of ANA
teur Base Ball Schedule.
BY n. C. BYRD.

From all indications Navy Yard will
be the winner in section of the base
ball series for the District champion
ship. Tom Crooke's aggregation is
going along so well that it will take
better work than the other teams
have shown to beat it in the race for
top berth. The two strongest clubs
Rex Athletic Club and Operations
have gone down before the Gun
makers. and the aforementioned are
leading with clean slate, the only
men in the section that do not have
defeat chalked up against them.
In section the title will go either
to War Risk or Marines. 1t was
thought at first that the latter would
have kind of '1ead-pipe cinch," but
with the showing made by War Risk
that nine is in the running, with a
fair chance to take the measure OF
the soldiers. Commerce and Capital
Publishers are out of the running for
the title in that section
If Marines and Navy Yard meet in
the final series of three games for the
city championship, no doubt exists
that the series will be the most popu-
lar ever staged here. Both clubs rep
resent big organizations, and gener-
ally are popular. Both clubs represent
big organizations and generally are
popular incidentally, the series ought
to produce some good ball games.
Anent possible series between
the Navy Yard and Marines, a state
ment made by Tom Crooke of the
former club shortly after watching
Marines and Operations play in the
Navy Interbureau League, is remem-
bered:
THAT bunch of soldiers had better
play whole lot faster ball than they
did this afternoon if they expect to
get away with u.s."

Stabilizing Liberty Bonds.

Bankers believe that the fourth

ed if the recommendations of Secre-
tary McAdoo for a partial exemption
from surtaxes are favorably considered.
The bonds are free from normal tax
all the way through, but they are
subject to surtaXes in many brack-
cts. the elimination of this tax being
expected to create much better de-
mand for investment. The Secretary
also urges that like exemption be
given to second and third issues as a
stabilizing force.
The alternative. he believes, will
be a higher rate on the fourth loan.

of failure to give tax exemptions

vaughn's support paralleled his
superb pitching. Three double plays
were executed to aid him in his en-

bid to live up to the highly compli-

PUBLIC UTILITIES NEED
IMMEDIATE RELIEF
BY I. A. FLEMING.

The plight Of the public utility cor
porations all over the country. paying
much higher wages to hold employees.
paying double for coal and for all
materials, has reached a point where
help must be found from some
source.
Over 200 cities have increased
compensation to utilities, largely in
permission to make larger charges
for fare on street cars and to increase
the rates for gas service.
The fact that the War Finance Cor
poration considers utilities outside the
pale of it's consideration has been a
bitter disappointment to investment
bankers as well as to the public utility
corporations
1t is said to be within the probabili-
ties that the President may interest
himself in the cause of the public utili-
ties through urging fair treatment OF
these necessities by public utilities COM
missions.
Not only in Washington are condi-
tons serious. In all large cities the
wage question has threatened disin-
tegration of working forces. and, IN
turn, the stability of corporations in
which thousands of people have In
vested their savings.
The telephone companies appear to
hold their own and to produce better
returns than other utilities, with the
street railways having the hardest
going to make both ends meet.
