STEEL RATE UP
TO z PCT.

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-Steel
ingot output has rebounded to u
per cent of the country's capacity
from 10 per cent last week, accord
ing to Iron Age.
Incoming business, while run
ming behind shipments, is again
on the upgrade, and there is am
pie assurance of a continuance Of
the present rate of production, or
a little better, to the end of Octo.
Der at least, the report says.
Business in tie heavy products,
principally those used in building
construction, has experienced a
lull, which may be temporary in
view of the large amount TO work
ahead, according to the summary,
but the lighter products, particu-
larly sheets are in exceptionally
good demand, with prospective ad-
ditions to backlogs as the motor
car industry prepares for volume
production of 1887 models. Large
sheet tonnages are expected from
some of the automobile companies
this week. Iron Age adds:
There has been q decline in
orders from the railroads for
car repair work, which has re-
Gently been fastened to provide
needed equipment for the al
tumn bulge in carlOadings, usu-
ally occurring in October. For
the longer term, however, the
railroads are more actively con-
cerned with new equipment pur-
chases, which are expected to
increase progressively.

RISING SUN SCHOOL NEWS

Our boys and girls volley ball and
baseball teams played the Kenmore
boys and girls on our own field Fri
day. The volley ball team, continu-
ing their steady play which won
them second place in the county
volley ball tournament ON Field Day,
defeated the Kenmore girls by
score of IL to 8. Our baseball team,
behind the steady pitching of Clifton
Brown, defeated the Kenmore boys
by score of to 2.
Friday Of this week our boys and
girls journey to Perryville for most
important game for the boys. To
date our baseball team has only lost
one game, the opening game to
Perryville. Ii we can defeat the
Perryville team on their own
grounds it will place us in a tie for
the championship of the Northern
section of the County High School
League. This would mean that
Perryville and Rising Sun would
have to play off the tie, the winner
to meet the winner of the Southern
section, which to date looks very
much like North East.
The final Parent-Teachers Associa-
ton meeting will be held on Thurs
day, June 4th, at 7;45 p. NJ, in the
High School Auditorium. At this
meeting the election of officers for
the next school year will be held.
The program will consist of two
short plays by the Home Economies
department and an exhibit of the
projects made by the girls in Home
Economics and the boys in Industrial

WEST NOTTINGHAM IN A SLUMP
BY C. X. VAUGHAN

Lately West Nottingham has been in
the throes of a slump. Saturday, 10th,
saw the Maroon go down to 81 on
their home grounds at the hands of
Wilmington Trade School
The game was the old story of a
good pitcher with no support. Humph.
reys, the Maroon moundsman, in a
seven inning affair retired 10 at the
plate, and permitted several pop-ups
which were muffed by his team mates.
'Humph' was forced to grant a hit to
Krystopski, the first man to face him
but remained hit-proof until the latter
part of the fourth inning when two
more of his opponents drew blood.
Again Humph' was nicked in the fifth
and sixth frames. M. Scott, the
versatile backstop of the Wilmington
ians, was personally responsible for
two of these clouts-one of which
went for two bases.
Nottingham got her single tally in
the third inning when Respess got
home on a passed ball. Macy scored
in the first of the fifth when he was
driven home on Marshalls two-base
slam, and Scott scored in the sixth on
an error to break the tie and take the
game.
The Maroon started what might
have been termed a rally in the sixth,
but 1t was sort lived WIN King struck
out and Downey was caught off third
incidentally the latter led his team in
hits, and has an average of an even

PHILADELPHIA ROAD IMPROVE.
MENT

The State Roads Commission is
about to advertise for bids for con-
crete paving of 9.25 miles of the new
Philadelphia Road, between Aber-
deem and the Baltimore City line.
The paving will consist of two
twenty-foot concrete lanes separated
by a thirty-foot parkway, in which
shrubbery will be planted. The re-
naming 14.64 miles between the two
municipalities will be stabilized, be-
cause the grading has not settled
sufficiently for permanent paving.
This will consist of some temper
airy hard surfacing of gravel, stone
or Stag which will permit the opera
ton of traffic over the road. An
additional section of the road be-
tween Aberdeen and Havre de Grace
is also to be permanently paved, a
contract already having been let foi
the work.

Totals

Again on the following Tuesday
Nottingham dropped another very
close affair to the Avon Grove High
School, 3-2 The game was played on
the Academy field, which due to recent
rains was pretty mucky.
The Avon-Grovers scored Midget
White in the first when he received a
pass from Byrd, the Nottingham
hurler. Then in the third the visitors
amassed three hits and two runs in the
PRISONS of Perry and Blake who crossed
on a terrific two-way smash by C.
White, the mainstay of the winners
w. N. A. registered when Reynolds
after gaining a nice double came home
on a sacrifice by Byrd.
In the third frame the locals had
the bases loaded, but were turned
away by the stellar twirling of Mullen
Then again in the fifth 1t looked as if
Nottingham might add another vic
tory of her scalp-but by dint of some
fine assists on the part of Perry-the
crisis was averted AS the statistics
indicate below, the game was more
than close throughout.
