NEW YORK, October 2s.-The
optimism that has been increasing IN
Wall Street during the past week Yves
modified today by the quarterly reports
of some of the independent iron and
steel companies, with one OF them,
Colorado Fuel 81 Iron, reducing It's
dividend after showing q so per cent
drop In profits In the first nine months
of the year.
To this discouraging array OF ngures
were added the unfavorable comments
on the outlook of the steel trade by the
trade journals and the evidence that
steel inRot production has declined to
so per cent according to one authority.
and to 40 per cent on the reckoning OF
another, against between 50 and So per
cent week ago.
Outlook Clouded.
The Iron Age, in commenting on the
situation, said, with further declines
reported in scrap prices and In 1ngot
output. the immediate outlook In the
iron and steel industry lacks promise"
The view presented by Steel, another
trade journal, was that neither the
price sterilization program presented to
the American Iron & Steel Institute
unemployment by stimulating the con-
struction industries has yet had any
influence upon iron and STEEL" It was
indicated that It win take some time
for the efforts to promote trade to show
In the iron and steel industry where
the "concensus of opinion Is that what
ever demand is developed VIII do little
more than offset seasonal November
and December recessions, and that a
genuine upturn cannot be expected be-
fore the automotive industry revives,
probably next Spring"
A significant statement was made by
the Iron Age to the effect that steel
producers are urging the railroads to
place orders for cars and locomotives as
means Of offsetting losses Of tonnage
the carriers might be willing to order
more equipment, even though they have
surplus at the present time, If ar
rangeme4its could be made to finance
this equipment up to the extent Of 100
per cent Of the entire cost.
Regular Methods.
This would be much in contrast with
the practice that has been common to
all of the railroads for years, inasmuch
as the regular method II to issue equip
ment trust certificates to the amount
Of rs or 30 per cent Of the purchase
equipments had an equity OF between
20 and as per cent. It Is on this basis
that these securities have enjoyed such

made legal for savings banks In differ

CH|CUBS STALL OFF
END ANOTHER DAY
One More st. Louis Victory
or a Chicago Defeat viii
Decide Race.
BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, JR..
Associated Press snorts writer


~ My one game now stands
1 between the st. Louis
~ Cardinals and their third
National League pennant
in five seasons. They got back
into action at home yesterday and
beat Pittsburgh, 8 to 0.
Chicago, managed by Rogers
Hornsby, defeated Cincinnati, 4
to 3. One more st. Louis victory
or one defeat for the Cubs will
settle the struggle. If Chicago
wins its remaining games against
the Reds and the Cards lose three
to Pittsburgh, the season will end
in a tie with three-game play
off to decide the pennant winner.
AS the veteran spitballer Burleigh
Grimes held the Pirates to seven hits,
the st. Louis batters collected dozen
effective blows.
Taylor Douthit, one of the few sur
viverS of the champion Cardinals of
1925, opened the action with a double
and scord the first run on Frischs
single. Then, with Adams and irish
SJlll on base, jim Bottomley hammered
a home run over the right fild pavilion
to give the Cards 4-to-0 lead
The Cubs got start against Cincin-
natl, but the Reds proved troublesome.
Hornsby, who became active manager
just before the game, sent young Bud
Teachout to the mound, and the youth
full southpaw did well for eight frames.
Home runs by English and Hartnett in
the first two innings started the Cubs
of ahead and a few more timely blows
gave Chicago Al lead going into the
ninth. But then Tony Cuccinello drove
his second home run of the day over
the left field wall. Harry Heilmann
duplicated the wallop and Ford singled
before Pat Malone was hurried in to
save the game.
The American League champions, the
Philadelphia Athletics, played six in
nings against the New York Yankees
before rain halted the game They
piled up II hits OF Rufing and johnson
and 13-to-3 score. Lou Gehrig's
forty-first home run, made in the first
inning, accounted for all the Yankee
runs.

out, bringing a double-header for to-

He has what the boys in the boxing
racket call "moxie," which means In

of it. and he has shown it enough In
this tournament so far to convince the
skeptics that he is going somewhere in

ability to knock out lot of golf shots
and has done so with eclat, or he
wouldn't be in the semi-final. That
