 News that German sugar was sold here the past few days for November delivery at substantial concession from the prices quoted for the Ameri- can product discouraged holders of the sugar shares. A general selling move ment took place in those stocks. In the sugar trade, however, the invasion of German sugar was minfmized as a market factor. Sugar brokers said the reason for the lower price quoted for the German product was it's inferior quality. They did not believe the Ger man shipments would be sufficiently large to affect the trade for other su- gars, as they doubted that Germany had large exportable surplus.
 The financial district is awaiting with keen interest the quarterly report of the United States Steel corporation next Tuesday. The opinion prevails that while earnings will not be as large as in the preceding three months com fortabIe margin over the 1k per cent regular quarterly dividend on tho com mon stock will be shown. Owing to the bcorporation's diversity of business in cluding cement, many in the trade be- Iieve the common dividend will be earn ed twice over.

FOOTBALL ASSN. IS
 SURELY A FAILURE
State Organization Does Not
 MateriahZe

Meriden, Sept. 19.-Professional football in Connecticut this fall will continue to be same old first come first served"' catch as- catch can" affair that it has been since time immemonble.
 It looked-at the start of the indoor" season when managers were friends-that it would be a different story this year. It was planned to have a state pro foot ball organization and ruling body of disinterested parties empowered to sec that all inter-club agree ments were carried out to the let ter. It was to have done away with petty quarreling and star-player disputes and make the great fall pastime a regular tea party as re- gards player and money negotia- tions.
 But that quite humorous stage of the proceedings has passed now. There will be no state football commission, no ruling body of dis interested parties. There will just be a general scrambling match.
 That was decided upon last night at the local armory at a meeting called by Secretary Floyd Board- man Ito complete plans for the betterment of the game" Abso- lutely nothing was done in the lines suggested and the meeting turned out to be just a fanning- bee..
 Only five of the more important grid organizations of the state were represented. Doc" Waskowitz, of New Britain; Floyd Boardman, To- cal National Guard representative; Albert Meyers, of the Hartford West Sides; James NIinetto, of the l-Torringtons, and Max Codcn, of the New Haven Blues, attended the gathering. George Mulligan, of the -Waterburys; Mike Healey, of the -Bridgeports, and Ed Cooney, of the -Hartfords were supposed to attend but ddin't,
 There was some business trans acted, however A good many games were booked by the attending man. agers and several 'home-and-home series discussed. Boardman booked his All-Meriden. outfit to play a home-and- home entanglement with Waskowitz's All-New Britain, the home game to be played at Han over on Thanksgiving day, Novem- Der 27. The Boardman eleven will play in New Britain at an earlier date.
 Floyd is trying to card the All- Torrington team for the opening game of the season here-on next Sunday, the 2S. He plans home and-home series with the AllNew Britains, -Bridgeports and Hart ford West Sides, Also, there will probably be another out of town game for the guard gridmen.
 The only thing striking of the meeting was the harmony of the different managers. Otherwise there was little of note-excepting the aforementioned fact that there is to be no law and order" commit tee of any kind in the state pro grid ranks this fall.

New York, Sept. l9,-A snarllng Tiger crouches low in the western cave today. awaiting the invasion of Yankee foe. His tail band aged thrice from Quaker wounds, his paw zealously guarding a frail pennant thread already worn al- most beyond repair, the Bungal will fight for the honor of the west.
 A similar scene will be enacted on the Atlantic seaboard today when Pittsburgh and Brooklyn will play the leading role in a drama which will be tragic 10 one or the other.
 Washington and New York, in full view of the wire, are staging mad dash down the American league stretch at breakneck speed. Detroit is struggling to keep up but slowly its cause is becoming hope less. It must squelch a Yankee in- yader or accept defeat. Just as nerciless is the pace which is being set in the National league, New York. with Brooklyn right on it's heels, half a length behind, is ex- hausted by the dizzy pace.
 The Giants, yesterday, had their hair parted by the Cincinnati Reds, dividing a double header, losing the first game, to 3; but coming under the wire first in the nightcap, 7-5. Brooklyn, battling frantically to overtake that meagre lead gained by the Giants, advanced to within | half & game of the 1923 cham pions by winning twice from St. Louis, ' and 5 and and 2. Pitts burgh, today still two and a half games behind the lead, was only able to break even with the Phil- lies yesterday, dropping the first section of its double header, 6 to 5, but winning the second, 6-3.
 Chicago and Boston, both hope Iessly out of the swim, split even in their two sessions, the Cubs yank- ing the first game out of the fire in il innings, and 8, but the Braves copping the concluding act, 3 to |.
 New York Yankee fans are thanking Joe Bush for a victory in St. Louis yesterday. The Yankees drove into the ninth inning, trailing by q lone tally when Bush slapped a home run tag on one of Win sard's scattered hits and knotted the game, the customers emerging victorious in the first extra inning z 2 to 1.
 Washington made it three straight from Cleveland by winning the final game of the series, to 5. The Philadelphia Athletics al- most ironed out the Detroit cause by winning a third straight victory from the Bengals, 5 to 3. In the other American league game the Chicago White Sox topped the Bos- ton Red Sox, to 3.
 The complexion of both races is likely to undergo decided change after the series at Detroit and Brooklyn are completed. One or the other in each series must tot ter. Water eventually finds its proper level and the 1924 races will prove no exception.

HOW WATERBURY TEAM MEASURES
Success in Series Rests Entirely
 With Pitchers

Waterbury, Sept. 19,--The ability of the Waterbury club to take the forthcoming series from the Balti- more club, International league champions, in this city, rest entirely with It's great pitching staff which brought the Brass City It's first pen nant in II years. It was powerful pitching which enabled New Haven to nose out the Orioles in the 1922 post season series, and it was the same strength in its servers that gave Hartford two straight games over Jack Dunn's perennial cham pions. ... 7"
 If Waterbury is to uphold this prestige gained by the o'Neil circuit in the past two years, it will be Rush, Ulrich, Fuller and Crowder in that order, who will make triumph possible. It is this quartet of pitch- ers--with Jimmy Bishop now back with the Phillies added--that made the Brasscos' 1924 triumph possible and Manager Kitty Bransfield banks on them as being perfectly capable of succeeding just as well as did the New Haven moundsmen in 1922 and the Hartford hurlers in 1923.
 These four pitchers have set up enviable records for themselves dur ing the season just closed. Rush led them in about everything, except passes. He worked in the most games, 40; has record of 22 vic- tories and 10 defeats for percent age of .6sS. He pitched PTS e-3 in- nings during the season, struck out 126 men, passed only 53. and allow ed PCS hits and sS runs. Fuller comes next to him. He worked in 35 games, Ead IT wins and 1S loses for .567. He worked in 250 2-3 in- nings, allowed 254 hits and 9S runs, walked 43 and famed 73. -
 Ulrich labored 27O 2-S innings in 34 games for 16 victories and 13 set backs, an average of .552. He allow ed 273 hits and Ill runs, walked 63 and famed 120. Crowder, after joi0ing the club we'll along in the season. pitched POS s-3 innings, in 32 games. winning il and losing 13 games. He gave up POS hits and 9S runs, passed 73 and whiffed 95.
 It will be Rush, JTlrich and Fuller In that order that Bransfeld will de- pend upon in ths~three games with Baltimore with Crowder ready for a relief role at any time. A.,

British open champion, playing with Ray Derr, of Philadelphia, a newcomer in championship golf and Jim Barnes of New York, formerly na- tional open champion, who match ed his skill with Larry Mabholtz, Lima, Ohio, another youngster, made up the two semi-fnal matches in the national professional golf cham pionship at French Lick today.
 Hagen owed his presence in the penultimate round to a victory over John Farrell, and 2, it looked for a time as though the veteran play CTS would be beaten for he was put ting poorly at times and Farrell was playing under par much of the way.
 Derr got into the semi-fnals by holing puts from all over the green and thereby defeating Al Espinosa, of Chicago, and 1. In fact, Derr has been the surprise of the tourna- ment thus far, he was wild yester- day in his approaches but his un- canny putting defeated Espinosa.
 Barnes, after his severe struggle against Mike Brady. in the first round when they went 39 holes had it very easy, winning from Eddie Towne, 1O, and g and yesterday eliminating Emmett French. He gained these one sided victories by shooting well under par.
 Nabholtz almost as little known to tournament golf as Derr has played steadily and well all week. He eliminated Gene Sarazen, ? and 1, although the latter was up until the last, nine holes, and yesterday over came one of the lowest scorers iN the tournament. defeating Henry Cinci, and 4.
