Potato Output Steady.

The potato movement from Michl-
gan Is proceeding smoothly and ap.
parently viii he given additional i'm
petus by operation Of the State potato
grading Law, which went into effect
Thursday. Fruit movement through
the East and Middle West Is heavy. al
though in some localities yields were
not as heavy as in some previous sea
sons.
In the manufacturing States freight
loadings are rejecting the steady,
healthy expansion of Industrial opera
tons, approximating 900 cars d
week. Steel and automobile shipments
are exceedingly heavy at present.
Building materials are being rushed
TO various centers. Shipments have
been so heavy along the Florida East
Coast that temporary enbargoes have
been placed in effect except on fuels
and perishable goods.
Coal Moving Rapidly.
The transfer of coal has increased
with the seasonal demand. and in the
case Of the anthracite carriers has
yielded a sharp increase in revenues
owing TO the possibility Of an anthra-
cite strike. Coal loadings are run
ming over 10000 cars "A week
The smoothness, ease and speed
with which these problems of trans
portation and distribution have been
handled by the carriers have been due
to the increase in operating efficiency.
In 1920 il required 1877 pounds of coal
to move 1000 gross tons of freight
one mile. This year this amount was
cut to 40 pounds, a fuel saving Of
1871 per cent. Since 1920 the loss and
damage item for the class J. roads
has been reduced from s1i9, ,S3s, ,127 a
year to S41 1881 900. Total annual op-
Grating expenses for those roads has
been cut Sl,319, 900 900 in the last five
years, while the freight carried meas
ured in freight-ton miles increased
sos per cent. Net operating income
this year for the main carriers is ez-
pected TO exceed that Of any year
since 1916.
Late reports indicate a freight ear
surplus of approximately 3l0, 900 cars.
Total loadings for the year up 10
August lo were 31.344 929 cars ex-
ceeding the figures for the correspond

NEW YORK, August eS.-The
railroad freight movement of the
country today is approaching its
zenith for the year. Freight, ac-
cording TO dispatches from various
sections received today, is being
handled more efficiently and at less
cost TO the roads than ever before.
The heavy volume Of shipments Is BY
no means over, but it Is indicated that
freight car loadings for the entire
year viii exceed 90, 900 cars.
Huge Fruit Shipments.
In California, Nevada New Mexico
and Arizona over 1,025, 900 cars al
ready have been loaded. The peak of
deciduous fruits is approaching. the
movement being estimated at S0,000
cars, about 5000 Of which have AL
ready been handled. The California
grape movement Is estimated at &c.
900 cars and most of It must be moved
in a period not much over a month.
Shipments of cannery fruit are esti-
mated by Southern Pacific officials at
1855 per cent above those of last year
at this time. while the combined fruit
and vegetable traffic is approximately
90 per cent ahead Of 1924
The amount of dried fruit being
shipped from the Pacific is around
the 1924 level. but conditions are good
for an excellent production of citrus
fruit in California; Wheat produc-
tion on the Pacific Coast IS well above
the level of last year. Nashingt ton s
Spring wheat crop is expected TO ex

Guide Finishes Fourth.
Granville GUIDE of the Potomac Boat

singles. W. E. Garrett Gilmore of the

ond for about three-quarters of the

quarter mile.
The Potomac Boat Clubs junior
eight also was third in the race won
by Penn Barge.
Rowing an even race and with the
lead in its possession, the Pennsyl-
vania Barge Club ran away with the
Junior eight, leading the Quaker City
Barge Club over the finish line by five
lengths.
The Potomac Boat Club finished
THIRD, two lengths behind the Quaker
City eight. Penn Barge Club took the
lead from the very start, and steadily
opened up, even though the Quaker
City boat was gaining at a quarter
mile from the finish, when in it's eff
fort to make speed, one of the oars
men caught a crab at the middle of
the island and threw the boat crew
out of order.
Potomac came UP on even terms,
but the Quaker City men soon found
their stroke and rowed into second
place. The Penn Barge crew was fresh
at the finish, even though the wind
was blowing directly against the oars

In the finals for the diamond sculls
Jack Beresford, jr., of London, holder
of the trophy, defeated G. H. L. Col
Ian of the Leander Club. Gollan led
at the start. but was soon overhauled
by Beresford, who crossed the line an
easy winner in minutes 81 seconds.
Beresford yesterday defeated Walter
NJ. Hoover of Philadelphia in the elm
nations for the diamond SOULS in the
same time.
1t seems almost certain tonight
that there will be no race for the
Philadelphia gold cup, Beresford hav-
ing returned the cup to America.
Hoover, who came to England es-
pecially for this race, is trying to in
duce a recon nsideration of Beresford's s
decision. Rowing men here are gen.
orally of the opinion that Beresford's S
decision is final.
Hoover, after a conversation with
Beresford's father today, said he hoped
the matter would be smoothed over
in spite of the action already taken,
and that a race would be arranged
with Beresford, jr. He discussed the
subject fully with the elder Beresford,
pointing out to him that his club had
backed him financially to come to
England with the sole object of chal-
lenging for the cup. He had merely
participated in the diamond scullS be-
cause he happened to be in England,
but with this his club was not con-
cerned.
Hoover felt that in view of the fact
his challenge had been issued before
he left the United States it would be
unsportsmanlike not to give him the
opportunity of competing with Beres-
ford, and he would certainly be Herv
much disappointed if a contest could
not be arranged.

In all likelihood, Spencer Pumpelly,

Ruethers leg is improving, too, but
it still pains him sufficiently to inter

Borotra Weak at Start.
Borotra played poorly in the begin

consistently driving outside or back
of the base line. Even his work at the
net lacked in usual fire and his volley-
ing was less well placed than hereto

Superhuman Effort Wins.
He continued on the offensive in the

They were again even at 6-6, but

Griffs Take Lead in Final.
In the second part of the dual bill,
the Nationals were the first to break
into the run column, hanging up a
score in the second round. Joe Harris
began the frame with a crash to
center for two bases and Bluege sac
rificed. Peck lofted to Flagstead in
short center, but Ira did not make a
particularly good throw, so Moon was
able to count after the catch.
The Hose did not wait long to match
the tally. Lee strolled to start their
third inning and was singled to second
by Heving. Wingfield sacrificed. then
Flagstead walked to fill the bases, as
Prothro forced out Flagstead with a
roller to Peck, Lee counted. Goslin
took care of Boone's loft to end the
damage.
Thereafter both clubs were kept
away from the plate until the seventh
inning, double plays checking the
champions in the third, fifth and sixth
sessions, while a good throw by Rice,
who had fielded Todt's hit, that cut
down Carlyle at third base killed a

In the seventh the Sox were bit

second bases, but Rogell was forced

Wingfield allowed a third strike to
