Trying them all out by making
until he knew every twist of THEN
muscles, Mccarthy finally made his
selection. Boiey of Baltimore would
have been at short had there been any
chance TO deal with Dunn of Balti-
more on a basis that could have been
made effective.
The fact that Mccarthy could not
get Boley retained job for Cooney
upon whom waivers had been asked
Indeed. inability to get Cooney out of
he league had II lot to do with 1t
Brooklyn wanted Cooney as much as
Chicago wanted him, as Brooklyn be

up for intielderS as a squirrel for
nuts on the Fourth of July. Another
club than Brooklyn might have stuck
IN a claim for Cooney. Anyhow, he
kept his Cub sweater and is hanging
Un. although he is not strong enough
for a long fight if he cannot produce
more than he has.
Wilson's Popular Player.
The most popular player of the
cubs in Chicago is Hack" Wilson.
sturdy fighter for the Giants in other
days, whose sad three blows at the
air in the world series against Wash
ineton lost respect for him in the
Giant noodle. He is playing much
better than he expected to play him
self, and LOT of it is because he has
heen made TO believe in himself by
his manager, who has encouraged
him from the start, evidently figuring
that Hack was his best outfield bet.
His Judgment has won for him.
The real surprise of the cubs is
Heathcote. who is playing better than
ever and probably will stick there for
another six weeks. If he keeps the
pace all of the season he is going to
he the best ball player this year he
has ever been.
The intield of the Cubs is not so
strong as that of other teams, and in
he hard fight over the cobble stones
the year through it will have lots Of
chances to show it.
Cubs Also Hitting Hard.
The great unexpected. three ring re-
splendency which illumines the hides
of the cubs and which keeps them
,'lose to the top is due not only to
their pitchers. but To their batting.
There are not more than two in the
team. Wilson and Grimm, who are
better than 300 natural batters, yet
this crowd has been leading the Ma
1ional League in batting.
Mccarthy got it into their heads
that they could hit, and hit they
have, even against the Brooklyn
pitchers. who are the backbone of that
team. The Cubs have been taking the
measure of visitors daily.
Players OF other clubs than Chicago
say tho grounds in Chicago are par
ticularly adapted for the home team.
They all say that Of all grounds. eX-
cept the very capacious grounds of
the Braves and Reds.
The real reason why the other clubs
think the Cub field is better for Chi
cago is because the batters of the
other clubs haven't been denting the
Chicago pitchers.

The result was a runaway for
Mitchell. He won by 8 and and
once more is regarded as the king of
British match golfers.
Mitchell set out with the deliberate
intention of making Compston play
the odd through the green. In other
words. he staked his ability with the
woods against Compston's ability with
the woods, a sizable task to under
take, because Archie is a driver of
distance.
Mitchell Forced Compston.
But Abe succeeded. nine times out
Of ten. Sometimes he drove as much
as 80 Yards farther than Compston
This had a distinct mental effect upon
Archie and il gave Abe the advantage
in judging shots to the green.
Wherever crack professionals are
engaged in a foursome, one team Is
always trying for distance that Will
outdo the best attempts of the oppo

 "The city of Boston by a fortu- nate chance Is able to help Santa Claus give artificial teeth to the six elderly people in your institutions for whom you broadcast an appeal for funds. No collection will be ne- cessary if you care to accept as a Christmas present from our city a package of seven sets of false teeth of the finest quality, which were found last week in one of the cor riders of city hall. Perhaps they could be adapted by a local dentist to your needs or exchanged by him for suitable sizes.
 Although the find was widely ad- vertised. no owner has appeared, so it may be that these were being provided for you by Santa Claus, who in his haste left them in the wrong city. Consequently I am only too happy to offer them to your municipality. They await your plea- sure for shipment"

 Useless in Business
 In explaining his remarks. Mir. Morris said, T have no high opin- ion of the value of universities for education for such essentially prac- tical purposes as industry or com- merce. in fact, a university train ing is, from business point of view, absolutely useless.
 There are exceptions, I know. but l have never found a univer- sity trained man Of any use in my organization. and am going to say that for business university training Is an absolute waste of time.
 Lose Psychology of Workers
 "A university education will make a scholar, but it will not give those qualities essential for commerce and industry, If those

qualities are not originally there. If they are. 1t is quite likely to obliterate them. It does not, for instance, give an understanding of the psychology of the workers in an industry. AS one who went to work early in life in an engineering shop, I got my training in & prac- tical school, know what the worker thinks.
 When go through my factory among those thousands of men, I know what they are thinking of me and of the conditions under which I ask them to work My business depends as much for its success upon those men, as upon anything, and unless I. and those responsible with me for the control and management of the enterprise have that understanding of the workers. how can we hope for suc- cess?

200 MILLION FOR US. STEEL OWNERS Huge Melon Cut of 40 Per Cent
 Stock Dividend

New York, Dec. 17.-(P1A S200,- 100000 Christmas gift in the form of a 40 per cent stock dividend yes- terday came as a reward to common stockholders of the United States Steel corporation after years Of awaiting to share in the company's huge surplus of more than s500,- 000,000.
 At the same time, directors of the Crucible Steel corporation increased the annual common dividend from s5 to S6, marking the second jump of $1 this year, directors of the D.. 6. Industrial Alcohol company re- sumed dividends on the common at the rate of S5 a year and several smaller companies joined the pre- Christmas chorus of well-being by continuing or increasing returns to stockholders.
 Unanimous Approval
 The finance committee and the board of directors of the world s largest steel company unanimously approved a proposal to increase the common stock by 2,033,210 shares, subject to the ratification of stock holders at their annual meeting next April. This action represents the capitalization of some s200, 100000 of the corporations surplus and will mean the distribution to share holders of one of the largest divi- dends ever paid by an industrial company.
 The market value Of the new shares If 1t could be computed at today's closing price of around S155, would be approximately S315,000,- 900, but the price will be automati- cally reduced when the additional stock Is issued next spring. The new stock probably will be traded in on a when issued" basis within the next few days.
 Ebert H. Gary, veteran chairman of the steel corporation. In the presence of J. P. Morgan, George r. Baker and other directors, made the announcement of the proposed dividend late this afternoon after g day of hectic trading In the stock ''It is believed" he said, that the property conditions and earning ca pacity of the corporation justify the proposed action at this time.

STATE RAIL
BOARD HAS new
KIND OF CASE
Power Company al Belfield
Wants Investigation Of
!, Hughes Co. Rates

Whether or not one power con,-
pany should be permitted to so re-
ducc rates that competitors are
driven out of business is the cues
tion that has been asked of the state
railroad commission.
The case in question was filled by
the Chryslcr Light and Power com
pany of Bclfield. 1t has a franchise
to serve that city with electricity
and so has the Hughes Electric COM
pany. The Chrysler company has
asked the railroad board to invest
igate rates recently filed by the
Hughes company to determine il they
are not too low and asks suspcn-
sion of the rates until the case is
determined. The Chrysler company
has not contendcd that the rates are
too low but it is known here that
the management has doubts as to
whether or not it can meet the rates
established by tho Hughes company
and remain in business.
A hearing on the case, the first of
its kind to be presented to the board,
probably will be scheduled later.
The case is regarded rs being Of
especial significance since the situa-
tion at Belfield is duplicated in many
other towns throughout the state
by the rapid increase in transmits
sion lines, served with cheap cleo
tricity from a central power station.
This situation, it is said. seriously
threatens relatively large investments
in small-town power plants.

parel bearing labels indicating that
they had been purchased here. It
was located after having been traced
