"We did"
Didn't it occur to you that
it might be unwiSe for you to
take on railroad securities at
a time when Dillon, Read g.
Co., in whose judgment you
had great confidence, were de-
sirOus of getting rid Of their
railroad hOldingS?"
Il don't know about Dillon,
Read & Co. We thought it
was q sound investment"
Recalls Old Testimony
Pecora reminded Tracy Of his
testimony last week that Dillon,
Read & Co. entered the joint
trading account in July, 1929,
because they wanted to buy rail.
road securities"
"When did Dillon, Read &
Co. change their minds about
investing in railroad securities?"
81 don't know"
Pecora revealed that Dillon,
Read & Co. sold only two railroad
stocks. purchased by the joint
trading account, to the U. S. and
Foreign Securities Corporation.
These were the Rock Island and
Frisco railroad stocks. Both
stocks collapsed in value since
that time. All the railroad stocks
purchased by Dillon, Read & Co.
in the joint contract, were kept
by the banking firm.
"Why didn't your investment
trust buy the good railroad
stocks from Dillon, Read g.
Coz"
"I'd have to look that up"
Produces Charter
Pecora produced the q. s. and
Foreign Securities Corporation
charter, which included a bylaw
eXempting its directors from all
liability for losses incurred by in
veStments in other corporations in
which they might be directors or
officers. The bylaws specifically
oVIthnri1oI ioforocfoI JiroofoYe ~
vote on such investments.
In March. 1890, the bylaws
were changed to prohibit inter-
eSted directors from voting on
such investments. They were re-
lieved Of liability for losses, but
could not vote to make the invest
ments.
The bylaws saved directors from
liability for any losses. They were
broad enough to rescue Charles
Hayden from any liability for the
losses in Rock Island Railroad in
vestments, even though he was
chairman of the board of the rail-
road while a director in the in
VeSCmeQG CruSC.
Defends Bylaws
Tracy vigorously defended the
bylaws. He insisted the bylaws
were necessary because all the di-
rectors Of the investment corpora
tion were directors in other cor
porations. Tracy said:
"YOu have to depend on the
honesty of the directors. If the
board of directors are dishonest,
it's just too bad. We are ready
to stand on our record"
Pecora tried to learn why the
charter bylaws were changed.
Tracy said:
II don't know why"
''Why wasn't a similar pro-
vision adopted by the United
States and International Secur-
tiles COrpOratiOn?"
II don't know"

 United Press Stan Correspondent
 New York, Dec 7.-UP)-Some- where in this broad land there must be foundation which awards preposterous optimism. If so, let it strike off a medal for Bernon s. Prentice, the leader of Amer ica's Davis cup forces.
 It must be no ordinary medal, but one fairly dripping with palms, clasps and stars and garters. In short, it must be gorgeous. Mis- ter Prentice's latest statement, in which he is cneerrul over our 1894 cup prospects, makes him the All America optimist in all eleven posi- tions.
 "In spite of rather gloomy pro- phecies Of our 1884 chances" Prem tice says, 'I personally am far from dejected. have full assurance from George Lott, reports to the contrary, that he is not interested in professional offers. He and John Van Ryn constitute one of the outstanding doubles teams of the world and are available. Sid- ney Wood, Wimbledon champion in 1881, and unavailable for play last year, is a candidate. He played outstanding tennis in our recent championship. Frank Shields game has improved tre- mendously during the last year and he is certainly an important candi- date for this years team, and there are many others we certainly have a look-in."
 Wrong Angles
 s,t,, get that medal right away. His statement is a preposterous fistful of misleading facts. He's right on Lott being the worlds best doubles team-but he's all wrong from there out. Shields, playing the one-sided game he does, hasn't got 8 chance against a healthy Perry or Crawford. Franks all right at the net, but get him away from the webbing and he's lost as Livvingstone ever was. Craw- ford-and sick Crawford at that pinned Franks ears back in the semi-finals at Forest Hills, so how Mister Prentice figure Frank'Il be a ball of fire next season?
 Wood is the best of the Ameri- cans to-day, but the ailing Craw- ford licked him the day before he kicked Shields. The many others" Mister Prentice mentions leaves me puzzled. Who are they? True the AS states are running over with young men who possess fan mel pants, racquets and liking for the game, but, unfortunately, that's about all they got.
 Opportunity
 According to Mister Prentice the candidates for the American team will be given an opportunity to practice at least once a week dur ing the winter at court house, a private tennis club owned by Prem tice and half dozen other wealthy gentlemen. The court house Is a very snooty place. It is report ed that before you are allowed to enter your finger Casually the in- dex one) is jabbed with a pin. If your blood runs blue, okay.

OOTBALL DEATHS DROPPED SHARPLY
 DURING SEASON
Not One Varsity Player in College List - Girl
 Among Fatalities

New York, Dec 7.-(UP)-Foot- ball deaths during the 1893 season decreased considerably from the alarming marks of 1881 and 1852, according to a United Press survey.
 Not one college varsity player was on the list of 30 deaths trace able directly or indirectly to the game. Of then total, only two were college men, both freshmen who suffered fatal injuries while scrimmaging against the varsity.
 Got Together
 The survey was prepared in CO., operation with New York univer- sity. That institution gathered statistics in connection with the National Bureau of Casulty and Surety Underwriters, the American Football Coaches association, and the Football Rules committee.
 One of those who died from football injuries was girl, Wilma Kelley, IS, of Helena, Mont. She was playing in neighborhood game an dsustained broken nose. Infection caused death.
 The decline from 37 deaths in 1882, and 49 in 1881, apparently were due to new rules adopted af- ter the 1891 season and improved last year. Most of the deaths oc- cured during high school prac- tice periods and in sand lot play. Complications following minor in- juries were the chief causes of death.

|HUBBELL BREAKS PITCHING RECORD
 17 YEARS OF AGE
Lowest Earned Run Aver age For That Period
 Figure Land Timing
By JACK CUDDY

(United Press Stan COrreSpOndent)
 New, York, Dec. 7-(UP)-Offi- cial figures today designated Carl Hubbell the champion pitcher, of the National league for 1888, with the lowest average of allowed earn ed runs in that circuit for 17 years
 This distinction climaxed one c' the most. successful mound seas In baseball history--a. season Il. ended with the screwball king oi the New York Giants becoming hero of the World Series. He was chosen the "most valuable" player in the majors and won other hon. ors.
 Hubbell, won the most games in the National league, 23; pitched the most shutouts, 10, and worked the most innings, 3O9. He lead the circuit with the average of 1.66 runs earned per nine-inning game, which was the lowest average since Grover Alexander of Philadelphia led the circuit with 1.55 in 1916.
 In addition, he established a new National record for consecutive scoreless innings, with 46, from July 1S, to an including August |. This broke the former record of A made by Eddie Reulbach, Chicago, in 1908.
 Some Stun.
 Hubbell was the most effective pitcher, but Lyle Timing of the Chicago Cubs topped the league on the won and lost basis. He had a percentage of .6S4, winning 13 games and losing 6.
 Dizzy" Dean of the St Louis Cardinals pitched in the most games, AS; struck out the most batters, 199, and tied with Lon .Warneke of the cubs for the most complete games pitching 26. It was the second straight season that Dean was strikout king. In addi- tion, he established a new modern record by striking out IF Chicago players in the first game of a dou- ble-header on July 30. The former record was 16, made by Frank Hahn. Cincinnati, in 1901, and tied two other pitchers.
 Unfinished.
 Ad Liska of the Phillies estab- lished a new record for pitching in 45 games, none of which were completed. Paul Derringer, of the Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds, lost the most games, 27. Larry French of the Pittsburgh Pirates faced the most batters, 1909. ami for the third straight season allowed the most hits, 290.

'ROIS, TWO-TIME VICTOR OVER ROSSI,

Classy Middleweights at New Haven T0-night-

New Haven, Dec 7.-An action- filled professional boxing card, fea- turing Al Rossi, New Haven mid- dleweight, and Mexican Tommy Rios, of Wilmington, Del, in the ten-round star bout, will be pre- scented at the Arena here tonight by co-matchmakers Al Caroly and Lew Brown. The first bout goes on at 8:30.
 Rios, who holds 8 pair of wins over Rossi, has boxed Paulie Walker draw. lost an unpopular verdict to Young Terry and has beaten such fighters as Johnny Okie, Johnny Indressano, Baby Joe Cans, Young Ketchel, and has lost to Teddy YarosZ. Rossi was de- feated by Ben Jeby, former world champion, here recently, but ex- poets to regain his best form against Rios here tonight. The winner of the Rossi-Rio rumpus will be matched with Jeby for a bout here in the near future.

 In the six-round semi final, Irish Eddie Dolan, Waterbury lightweight, hopes to hang up his 101st consecutive ring victory at the enpense of Henry Emond, of Taunton, Mass, the only boy to score a kayo win over Louis Cocoa Kid, of New Haven. This should be a great fight.

Every club in the majors except the two pennant winners, the New York Giants and Washington Sem ators, has at least one deal on the fire. There is Q possibility that as many as 10 clubs will partici- pate in the shifting of players in an effort to awaken new interest among the fans.
 Since the close of the 1898 sea- son IS players have been involved in major league trades. The big gest of these was the purchase of Chuck Klein, Phillies' slugging out fielder, for $100,000, or more. and three players.
 Important
 It seems a foregone conclusion that the Red Sox will acquire sev- eral players by outright purchase, including probably, Lefty Grove and Max Bishop from the Athle- tics.
 The White Sox are likely to make an attractive bid for either George Earnshaw or Rube Walberg, Atf- letics hurlers. The Sox also are interested in either Wesley Terrell or Willis Hudlin of Cleveland.
 Detroit needs 8 manager, and it has been reported, and denied that they will purchase Mickey Cochrane from the As and name him man. ager.
 And Besides
 The St Louis Browns are after new talent and will trade almost any player on the team if they can get the desired men in return. Os- car Melillo, second baseman, is re- ported sought by Cleveland, and there Is a possibility that Out fielder Carl Reynolds may figure in a deal. ]
 Pittsburgh needs second base man. and the Cubs may use Billy Herman to cook up a trade with the Pirates. Augie Galan, the Coast league rookie, is being count ed on to jump into the second base job with the Cubs.
 Brooklyn is anxious to shake up its team, and Bob QQuinn, the new business manager, is open to of- fers for any player on the club. The Dodgers have their eye on Bill Hallahan, Cardinals southpaw, but there seemsm slight chance of get ting him.
