Line-ups and summary:

Eastern followers are hopeful that
comparative scores mean something so
far as the Eastern-Episcopal and the
Episcopal games are concerned.
They are comparing Eastern's recent 7-6
over the Alexandrians to Techs 60 de-
feat yesterday. Both games were SO
close that the scores mean little, but
they afford interesting speculation. 1t
was Techs first defeat in three starts.

BELL SYSTEM'S s
NET SHR|NkS

The American Telephone and
Telegraph Company, of which the
Chesapeake and Potomac Com
pany here is a subsidiary, was
compelled to dip into surplus for
$22, 2,143,183 last year in order to
maintain it's regular SO dividend,
earnings failing by $1.18 per share
to provide the required amount.
The annual report shows 1882
net income was only $145, ,906, ,909,
or 1882 per share, which COM
pareS with 1918 net of 1885,
666, 6,809, of $9.05 per share. The
company reports more than 700,-
600 shareholders.
The Bell System, which includes
associate companies, decreased it's
telephone service by 10 per cent
to 13,798,000 telephones last year.
Operating revenues of the sys-
tenn decrease $119, 100000, or II
per cent during 1882, while net
earnings were $194, 100000, a de-
crease of $63,600,O00. Operating

Total assets of the system at

D. c. CLEAR|NGS
FALL BEHIND
AVERAGE

Washington banks cleared
checks totalling SIT, ,469, 900 in the
week ended February 8, COM
pared with 1888, 900 the previ-
Gus week, a proportionate show
ing rather better than that of
Baltimore, in the same Federal
Reserve area, and much better
than Richmond and Norfolk,
where there were decreases for
the period.
Behind Country Average
Compared with the correspond
ing period last year, however,
Washington made the poorest
showing of the four, the decrease
here being 1875 per cent, as
against 1871 per cent in Norfolk,
1872 per cent in Baltimore, and
only Sc per cent in Richmond.
The area, also as represented
by these cities, showed poorly in
comparison with the country as
a whole, which for the first time
in two years made a gain over
the corresponding period of the
previous year. This amounted to
1.8 per cent.
The total reported by New
York City was larger by 9.6 per
cent than a year ago. Four
other cities, Philadelphia, Indian
apoliS, New Orleans, Houston and
DeS MoineS also showed improve
ment over last year.
Total for Al Cities
The total clearings at At lead
ing cities, as reported to Brad
streets Weekl;', amounted to $4,-
921, 100000 as compared with $4,-
1884, ,824,000 for the like week a
year ago. For the 46 cities out
side of New York City the total
was $1,501 ,972, 900 a decrease of
12.4 per cent from a year ago
but a gain of 2.9 over the pre-
ceding week.
The increase over last week,
however, is smaller than usual,
therefore the Weekly Clearings
Index compiled by Bradstreet's
dropped from 1877 to 1874 per
cent of the 1928-30 average. A
year ago, the index stood at 48.l.
