Southern Would Net Two And Three Times As Much Per Mile Profit As All Carriers Averaged Last Year
 WARRIOR IN LIFE DEATH STRUGGLE BEFORE |. C. c. Adjustment To Be Beneficial Must Involve Birmingham Southern, Theodore Brent Tells Commerce Body
WASHINGTON BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HERALD Washington. D. C., Oct. IS ]

The division of rates accruing from joint water and rail hauls as proposed by the Mississippi- Warrior government service to the Southern Railway company, would net the lat ter between two and three times as much per mile profit as the rail roads of the country earned on an average last year.
 Representation to the above effect was made to the interstate com nrerce commission, MT. Eastman pre- siding, by Theodore Brent, federal manager of the Mississippi Warrior, this morning. In the safternoon, counsel for the Southern replied to the Brent brief, and the commission took the case under advisement.
 Warrior Fights For Life.
 The hearing marked the beginning of real fight on the part of the Warrior for it's life. Mir. Brent very frankly informed the commission that with far division of rates the Warrior could continue to exist, but that unless relief was accorded by the establishment of just scale for division. the service within short time would have to be abandoned.
 And thus" said MT. Brent, the people would be derived of water service which is cheap and desirable, and the railroads would not, in the long run, be benefited.
 Tn view of the fact that hasty as well as favorable action on the part of the commission is essential. It was with keen disappointment that Mir. Brent was made aware that this hearing could result only in the set ting of q principle to guide actual rate making in the future. It will be inconclusive because the test IS directed solely against the Southern and not the Birmingham Southern with which tho Southern, does bust ness in feeding tho Warrior and dis tributing the northbound freight .of the barges.
 Must He Represented.
 Commissioner Eastman held that no rates could be established which would affect the Birmingham Southern without the Birmingham Southern being represented at the hearing, As far as the Birmingham district is concerned, MT. Brent ad- mitted, the Warrior would not be benefited by any rate adjustment which did not involve the Birming ham Southern. He contended that after the commission had ruled on just divisions between the Warrior and the Southern. the Southern could rearrange it's schedule with the Bir- mingham Southern, but Mir. Eastman insisted that no conclusive action

The Perth Amboy high school base
ball team went down to it's second
defeat of the season yesterday af-
ternoon at Matawan where the nine
of that place secured eveng for
the drubbing it received here. The
final score was TO. The necessary
punch to get runs when they We're
needed cost the Crimson and White
the contest. Another thing which
paved the way for Matawan's win
was the removal of Tom Fenessey in
the sixth inning for Wilmer. The lat
ter in the seventh inning practically
gave the home team the game when
he threw high to third to get the
man stealing.
Nedswicki toed the mound for
the visitors and allowed only eight
hits as compared with Amboy elev-
en- which were obtained off Costello,
a southpaw. The latter pitcher
walked five while the Amboy twirl-
er's control was perfect. Up to the
sixth inning Matawan got but three
hits and all of them in the first.
Amboy opened the game by seor-
ing two runs in the first when. with
two out, Seaman tripled over the
left fielder's head, bringing in Lar
son who had got on base on an err
ror and then Don Martin brought
in the third baseman with a single.
In their half of the first. Matawan
evened the score when they sent
two flies to Rasmussen who let them
drop at his feet for hits. Westcott re-
placed Rasmussen early in the game.
Everything went smoothly for AM
boy until the sixth when with a M
run lead as the result of hits by
Westerfield and Seaman, Stillwagon
opened with a double, Van Pelt dup
Heated and Griswold's long single
brought in two runs. In the seventh
frame the unlucky one for Amboy,
Anderson and Stillwagon flied out
and Van Pelt hit sending Wooley
who got on through a fielder's error
to second. Wooley tried to steal
third and as he did Wilmer threw
high to Seaman. Had the ball been
sent with some accuracy the side
would have been easily retired. In
