thirteen months ended July 81, 1921 !;
shipping board tonnage lost 13 per
cent, and foreign ships increased their
percentage from So to go per cent. In
dependent American vessels in July,
1921, carried 1,113,361 tons of exports.

the total, while in July, 1921, they car
ried 81 per cent.

ground. Higgins is one of the smart
est men in baseball and just about the
wisest trader in the big leagues. He
has made many mistakes in handling
his pitchers. Last year he was blamed
for the loss of the pennant by the way
he rotated his hurlers on the last
Western trip.
Higgins is in the unfortunate posi-
ton of having every one analyze his
work to find faults. The bugs never
criticize McGraw, because they don't
look at him critically.

DEMPSEY is LONESOME

It's true that a lull precedes a
big storm. Also it's quiet after
one.
James Harrison Dempsey
can't understand why he hasn't
got callouses on his heels caused
by would-be legitimate chal-
lengers crowding him.
The champ probably has for
gotten that all these second
raters attended the Jersey City
matinee and got the tip straight
that he hasn't gone back far
enough for them to make it in
teresting for him and the cash
customers.
Dempsey is still coming-not
going-and he's mighty lonesome.

BASEBALL SPORT OF FIGURES
Man in Oshkosh, Who Has Never Seer
Player, Knows All About Him by
Studying Averages.

One reason for basebalPs wide ap-
peal is that the game is easily reduced
to figures. A man in Oshkosh, who
has never seen the Giants or Yankees
play, may know as much about them,
and more, too, perhaps, simply by
studying the averages Of the players.
One doesn't have to see man play to
know that he is great player. They
can know that by looking over their
batting and fielding averages. No 9TH
er sport offers such opportunity for
mathematical revelry.

QUEER TRICKS IN STANDING
Cities Having Clubs in Both Leagues
Occupy Same Positions-Never
Happened Before.

The two major pennant races this
season have shown some queer tricks
in the standing. For instance, at one
stage in the final two weeks of play
the oddity was presented of each city
having club in both leagues showing
the same standing for both. That is,
the two New York teams were first,
the two st. Louis teams, third, two
Boston teams fourth, two Chicago
teams seventh and two Philadelphia
teams in eighth place. That is one
thing that never happened before.

Tennis is gaining 'great popularity
in this country. A few years ago the
national matches were witnessed only
by those who happened to be around
the clubhouse. Collapsible chairs and
veranda steps were the galleries.
Now stadiums are erected to accom-
modate the fans and the unprecedent-
ed number of 1900 seats were built
to seat the enthusiasts at the recent

BEGIN HEARING ON RAILROADS APPEAL
 FUR RATE INCREASE

Taking into consideration first the increase of passenger rates, Examiner Keeler of the interstate commerce com- mission began yesterday a hearing con corning the raising intrastate pas senger and freight rates in Arizona tc correspond with the interstate in- crease granted on August 26 by the commission. This order allowed an in crease of 25 per cent in freight rates and 20 per cent in passenger rates.
 When the ruling was made the greater part of the states adopted the increases as applying to intrastare rates, and others adopted it with slight notifications. few, including Arl- zona, declined to observe the order. ID September the railways in Arizona ap- piled to the corporation commission tc grant the increases, which the commits sion declined to do. The result is the hearing now going on before Examiner Keeler
 One of the features of the case brought out yesterday by attorneys for the railways was the fact that prac- tice of buying a passenger ticket only to the border of the state, as at Yuma and then rebuying to continue the journey, has arisen in Arizona This practice was brought out by the testi- Enony of several witnesses. Special stress on this problem, which has arisen wherever state corporation com missions have failed to grant the in- creases made by the interstate com meree commission. has been laid by the commission in the state of Wisconsin Illinois, New York and Arkansas, it was said yesterday.
 Among those who represented the railways yesterday were H. c. Booth counsel for the Southern Pacific at Sar Francisco; E. w. Camp, of the coast lines of the Santa Fe system; w. N Petticolas, general counsel for the E Paso and Southwestern railway, E Paso Opposing them were the mem bers of the corporation commission Attorney General GalbrAith, Rolanc | Johnston, traffic expert of the chamber of commerce.; c.
