those in Syracuse. If the senior
grade OF policeman IN Syracuse
should find outside employment on

man here. it was declared.
Very few cities besides Washing

1t would not be surprising II the
Pennsylvania railroad came out one
of these fine days with plan
bonds. stock or equipment notes
were offered to its employees on par
ticularly advantageous terms.
The proposition is under discus
sion. 1t has not gone far. but it is
gaining favor. 1t got some super
fetal attention some years ago bu-
was dropped. Recently il was re-
vived by two circumstances. One
was the fact that in floating loan
of $50.0O0.000 last spring the Penn
sylvania not only had to make the
bond issue I per cent, but the un
derwriting priCe-Variously stated
at 95, 90 and 97-made the cost to
the railroad anywhere from Sl.500.-
600 to s25CO, 900 additional, which
would mean the company pays
nearer per cent than per cent
interest for the life of the bond.
The other factor was an address
made in the Engineers Club of
Philadelphia, in which the whole
system of railroad financing was
criticised and the statement was
made that the Pennsylvania, as the
leading railroad of the world should
blaze the way to correction.
In the Engineers Club address
the speaker said the needs of the
railroads for money would be so
great for the next five or ten years.
approXimating possibly s1.00O,OOO,-
900 to $4,000, 100000 a year, that
Wall Street would be overstrained
in meeting them. and any system
that would tighten this strain
should be welcomed. If the strain
/ was not lightened, he argued, the
sharp competition for loans would
drive the price up on all big bor-
rowers If the Pennsylvania had 10
pay I per cent for money, eNclu-
! sive of underwriting charges, he
asked how much less favored rail
roads or industrials would have to
! pay.
I In general. his argument covered
| the following points: There Is
great well or reservoir of money in
this country which virtually is no
l employed. This was demonstrate
| by the many millions of person:
subscribing to the Liberty loans
1t matters nothing that the Liberty
loan investors were stirred by pa
triotism. The fact remains they
were potential investors.
A railroad should buttress ftsel
financially. 1t should appreciate
the tremendous power of good will
Necessarily a railroad is a, continu
Gus borrower. That being. so, !
should open channels through whica
money was to be obtained rathe
than depend on only one channel

now it appears as if another Rookwood
team, of course, inferior. is in the
field.
Several games have appeared in the
paper. Only few days ago one de-
scribed how Bobby Winskills Rock
wood team was walloped. 1t is bad
enough to steal name, but when a
team is represented falsely and an
others name used it is time to call a
halt. Rookwood never plays in this
city. In the last two years they have
engaged in practice contests with the
Germantown Eastern Leaguers at the
Y. NJ. G. A. and both were Rookwood
victories.
Before the Season opened they also
n'ayed another exhibition with Ger
mantown at st. Paul's Hall in South
philly. Rookwood never plays in this
city, as there arc no independent teams
strong enough to oppose. At present
Winskill is enmeshed in the Christmas
business rush. but next week he in =

though it is necessary to place the case

Chicago, Dec. 22.--President Ban

issued a statement replying to the
charges made in New York by Colonel
Huston, part owner Of the New York
club, that the American League had
violated precedent in choosing It's
board of directors by ballot at the re-.

that the league had always resorted to
the ballot instead Of using the usual
rotation method, when it was found the
rotation method would bring IAN un-

members should not be brought into the
directorate, as they had attempted to
wreck the American League. Mr..

Mr.. Shibe to fill his place.
