lnterborough Sees
Brighter Outlook
For Transit Lines
Looks fos Steady Improve.
provement in Appealing
for Extension of Bonds
Due on September ]

In appealing to holders of it's three
year secured convertible Z per cent
gold notes for an extension of year,
the lnterborough Rapid Transit details
It's efforts in reducing expenses and
points out why it believes that an i'm
provement is coming in the transit sit
uation. Frank Hedley, president and
general manager, says:
I'm 1918 the company issued $39,416,-
900 OF the above mentioned notes to
meet it's contractural obligations to the
City of New York During the past
three years $1,271,600 have been re-
tired through sinking fund purchases,
leaving $3S,1A4,000 to mature on Sep
TENDER / merit.
The company will not be able to pay
these notes at maturity because it has
been unable to market its first and re-
funding mortgage 5 per cent gold
bonds by which the notes were secured.
The reason for the company's ina
bility to market these bonds or do any
other financing are too we'll known to
require restatement.
"The only course left to the board of
directors is to ask the noteholders to
ertend their notes for one year from
September /, 1921. In consideration
therefor the company proposes TO IN
crease the interest to per cent, pay
able semi-annually. as heretofore.
Upon deposit of the notes at the
Offices Of j. P. Morgan & Co. on or
after August Is the 31a per cent semi
annual installment of interest due
September i, 1921, will be paid and the
extension agreement and new interest
coupons at the rate of per cent per
annum will be attached. Appropriate
trust receipts will be given pending the
preparation by counsel for the trustee
of the new coupon sheetsaand extern
sion agreement.
1.-THE company has every reason to
hone that the new Transit Commission,
APPOINTED by Governor Miller under
the law enacted by the New York Leg
islature last winter, will succeed, as
directed by the statute, in working out
some comprehensive plan which will
provide return upon the city's in
vcstment in rapid transit lines and
otherwise relieve the present inpossi-
BILE conditions in the traction situa-
ton in New York City.
"The Transit Commission is now en-
gagged in the valuation of the railroads,
including the marlborough Rapid Tran
sit system, and is making the studies
and Investigations required by the new
law, but it is understood that the data
nece. sary to the formation Of plan
viii not be available until after Sep
TENDER l, 1921.
! aThis company believes that any such
plan will make provision for the pro,
| lection of the Investment represented
nv the above notes, inasmuch as they
were issued with the express approval
I, of the public authorities and their
! proceeds were expended and are being
spent under the direction OF such au,
thor;ties in the equipment OF the RAPID
transit lines.

cars for domestic use and $50 freight

that while there is some difference OF

Immediate future, the general impress

carry out an extensive program of re-

plan as outlined by President Harding
is put through. it will make it pos
sible for the railways to place orders
for equipment, although large orders
will likely be delayed until the number
of idle cars and bad order cars is less
than at present.

Atchison
A Wall Street analysis of Atchison,
Topeka e. Sante Fe says: Net earn
ings Of the entire system for the first
six months of the year was $17,018,29S,
compared with $18,911.748 in the cor
responding period of last year. Nor
mally 44.8 per cent of the years in
income is earned in this period. Based
ON this assumption earnings Of the
first half year were at the annual rate
of s38,00,00o. Fixed charges in 1920
required s15,44S, 900 and preferred divi-
dends s6,208,000, which would leave
$16,349 900, or some $725 a share for
the common from railway operations
alone. Outside income in 1920 amounted
to $9,842, 900, or over $4.35 a share.
Accordingly, results of operations dur
ing the first six months indicate an
earning power well in excess of divi-
dend requirements"

Annapolis, Md. NoVem Der 29.-Nin- cent r.

Conroy has been a regular member of the Navy backfield for two seasons, playing quarterback and calling the signals this year. His work has been most satisfactory, and it is believed that he will make an excellent leader.
 For three years the position of cap tain at the Naval Academy has been filled by lineman Larson, who led the team last season, played at cen- ter, and Ewen, who explained it for the two previous years, was an end.

zBYSZKO KEEPS
 HIS MAT TITLE
'Stran8Ier" Lewis Is DoTned
 Twice in Bout at Garden

New York, Nov 29,--Stanislaps zbyszko veteran Polish wrestler, still Is the worlds heavyweight champion grappIer. The forty-two- -year-oId tlueholder last night defended his laurels against Ed CStrangler) Lewis, burly Kentuckian, before q crowd Of about 7,000 at Madison Square Gar den. After losing the first fall to his rival Zbyszko returned to the mat with revealed determination to retain his title and twice tossed Lewis,
 Altogether the match required j3 minutes 53 seconds, In that com paratively restricted period, Ibyszko was tossed once and Lewis was thrown twice. The match was one of the most spectacular and hardest fought mat struggles ever witnessed on a local mat
 Lewis scored the first fall in 17;3l when, Zzyszko in a moment of men tai alteration, so far forgot himself in massaging q painful wrist as to lc.ve himself open 10" Lewis's pun ishing hcadlock.
 Lewis tried a headlock and missed, then ZbysZko slipped his arms around Lewiss generous girth in q body hold The Kentuchian, trying 10 es- cape, skiddcd under the pole and Zib- by squatted on the former champion, zzyszko had his rival near q fall wit a peculiar lock, but Lewis struggirG free, ending a lively three minutes Of action.
 Lewis roughed Zbyszko about the ring in aggressive fashion after twelve minutes of action and suddenly leap ed for headlock. Zbyazko brought him down, slipped the lock and got an arm hold which Lewis broke after an anxious few moments of twisting The men were on their feet for about four minutes when ZbyszkO tossed his rival with a body hold and then applied a neck and crotch hold. Lewia in squirming free from the hold. touched the mat with both shoulders, in the opinion of Referee Johnny Fleeson, who awarded Zbyszko the second fall of the match in 21:26, with rolling fall.
 The hold was simply q roll. The crowd disputed Fleeson's decision and broke out in a deafening demonsera- tion of protest.
 During the five minutes inter- mission Lewis left the ring for a bot tie of water and the crowd, thinking the kentuclSian was withdrawing from the match, increased their howlinE until Lewis reappeared.
