BANKS REDUCE DIVIDENDS
 TO BUILD NEW BRANCHES
Large Houses Are Crowding Out s Smaller Ones in Commercial
 Section Of London.


 mile of the ''city" of London is gradually being changed almost out Of recognition by new buildings, mostly erected by tho big banks which are slowly crowding out other institutions of the commercial fraternity. It is said that, so anxious are these financial institutions to build vast new premises for their customers needs, they will soon crowd these same customers out of the city altogether. Many commer. olal institutions have already had to seek premises further westward. in Aldwych and Kingsway, and by the time the new Bank of England Is completed and the huge central office of the Big Five" banks Is built, several more commercial houses will have found 1t necessary to move further afeld.
 So keen are these big banks for custom that they open branches at every suburb Of London. and on the most favorable Site, the principle being to bring the bank to the cus- toner's door.
 Shareholders, at the various an- nual meetings Of the banks, fre- quently complain they are paid cnly 12 to Is per cent, when from the business done larger dividends would be possible, but they are told it Is necessary to build new offices and new branches, and that there must be large sums available for such purposes.

BASEBALL GAME
Wet Weather Causes Fair Sex
to Put on Baseball Con-

Rain Thursday afternoon
prevented the playing of the
baseball game between the
married and single ladies. Ina
rain did not come up until tt
players arrived on the field,
however, and the street parade
was staged as advertised.
The ladies are not to be out
done and they reset the game
for Friday, Oct. 9, but It was
later postponed indefinitely be-
cause of the wet weathe-.
The ladies attracted consid-
cradle attention in the stree
parade. Some of them wore Tie
regulation baseball uniforms,
others were donned in bloom
ers, while one or two of them
appeared in the ordinary dress
costume.
The ladies have had several
practice games and they may
be expected to put up at least
a good imitation Of the natioh-
