Berkowitn was rendered a Baron contract at the close of last season and the document has been returned signed to Billy West secretary of the local club.

 This youngster should develop into a splendid ball player, although ex- perience, of course, must be gained before he can be expected to perform regularly in a league of high classi . fication. With his excellent physical build for baseball, his natural ability and the experience which he will gain during the next couple of years, Berko- witz seems to have a splendid future in baseball before him.

waterway from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
 The saving effected by ships using the canal has more than jus tified the hopes of the government in undertaking it's construction. In pre-war days the cost of maintain ing a freighter in commission was approximately ten cents per net reg istered ton per day. Thus a 10000 ton steamship cost for maintenance about S1,000 per day. Its average speed vas around 250 knots a day. On the trp from New York to San Francisco there is a saving of thirty two days because of the canal. With such a ship this extra distance would cost, on the basis of pre-war prices, s33,000. On the basis of present prices it would cost about S50,000. The vessel, by using the canal in pre-war days, paying $1.20 per net registered ton, or $12.OOO, saved its owners of charterers $21,- 900.
 On the basis of present.day prices the saving amounts to nearly $40, GOO. If, as is now planned, the coastwise shipping using the canal is exempted from the payment of tolls a 10,0O0-ton steamer will save $120O0 canal in tolls and at least $3S,000 every time it passes through the canal in tolls and at least $3SOOO in distance eliminated.
 While it looks rather high to think of 15,752-ton ship paying S1S,- 900 for an eight-hour trip through the canal. yet to choose that route be- tween the east and west coasts of the United States rather than the Magellan route would save upward of $52,O0 on the trip.
 BARELY PAYS FOR OPERATION
 Another interesting feature of the tool rates at Panama is the compara- lively low rates at which cargo moves through the canal. A net registered ton in shipping practice is 100 cubic feet of cargo space Now it happens that most cargo doesn't require so much room and that for some commodities three tons can he put in each net regis ter ton space For instance. cot ton takes much more room than nj trates. A cargo of the latter has moved through the canal for thirty seven cents a ton, while a cargo of lumber might cost a dollar ton. The average rate for bulk cargoes range around siyty-seyen cents long ton.
 The present income from the canal is barely sufficient to pay the mere

USE OF CANAL GREAT SAVING
 FOR SHIPPERS

OBy International News Servcc)
 WASHINGTON. Aug. 9.-The in terchauge of some of the largest battleships in the American navy be- tween the Atlantic and Pacific fleets through the Panama canal shows that the big waterway is functioning along the lines laid down for it when the United States undertook the task of constructing seaway between the two Americas.
 When the work of building the canal was undertaken no one dreamed what a tremendous amount of material would have to he moved to make it usablc waterway such as it is today.
 At that time it was figured that the total excavations for the canal proper would he 101.OO0000 cubic yards. But by reason of enlarge ments and slides the task continued to grow until approximately a quar- Tor of 9 billion cubic yards of ma terial had to be removed The rail distance from Union station. Wash ington. D. C.. to the Pennsylvania terminal. New York, is approximate ly 22S miles. Imagine instead of the railroad. a canal with vertical banks. forty-five feet deep and 124 feet widc-deep and wide enough to ac- commodate the biggest ship afloat and connecting the nations metropo- lis with the country's capital-and you will have a picture of the amount of material that had to be removed to mako the great isthmian waterway complete project.
 Nor does this comparison include either thes excavations by the French or those of the Americans for the auxiliary port works. coaIinG sta. tions, etc.
 The total spoils which had to be removed to unite the seas. divide the continents and shorten the sea lanes of the world at Panama were equal in volume. it has been estimated. to more than one hundred pyramids of the dimensions of Cheors, two such pyramids for every mile of the big

costs of operation. with no allow ance whatever for depreciation or interest on the investment As the canal cost $367OOOOOO, and as the government has to pay at least per cent for money borrowed today, it will be seen that interest charges alone would amount to $1SOO0,OOO a year.
 In other words, if Uncle Sam op. crates his canal on the basis that the railway companies operate their roads he would have to make. a rate of about B a net registered ton in stead of $12O.
 With the tremendous decline in ocean freight rates in the past two years and the large increase in trans, continental railroad rates the com petition of the canal-using steam. ship lines for transcontiuental freight has hit the railroads a very hard blow. Much tonnage that in pre-war days moved from seaboard to sea board by rail is now going by sea, with the result that hundreds of freight trains have been dlscuutin- ned

SOLDIER FARMERS
 HOLDING BIG ACREAGE
CBy Associated rress)

OTTAWA. Ont. Aug. 9.-If Can ada's soldier-farmers were to pool their holdings they would have one giant farm of 5.OOO,OOO acres. dotted with grain fields, cattle, hogs, patches of fruit trees, silos and many sturdy houses and farm buildings.
 Population of this one big figura- tive farm, according to report on the work of the soldier settlement board. would be more than 126.0OO, estimating an average family of five to each settler.
 The actual lumber of ex-seryice men who have been placed on land through government aid is % '43. Short courses have been held in idle months and all phases of mixed farming. scientific dairying and purcbrcd cattle raising given in tensive study, according to the re- port. Experts have been sent into many districts 10 provide contuu- ous supervision.
 As result of the aid, financial and educational, a very high per centoga of the men are becoming successful farmers, the report says.
