PITTSBURGH, June IA. - The
Steelers, Pittsburgh pro football
club, are out this year to atone for
100000 financial loss and feel that
DR.. John Balm (Jock) Sutherland is
one man who'll help them do it.
Owner Art Rooney estimates the
losing club cost him that much
money in the past seven years, but
declared today he expects to cash
in" on the famed Sutherland, al
though the former Pitt mentor ISM
even on the pay roll.
Jock makes his debut in profess
sional football coaching with the
Brooklyn Dodgers this fall.
Sutherland is the country's out
standing coach and I believe he will
be a success in pro football from the
start" Rooney said.
We're going to feel the effects OF
it without it costing us nickel and
the same goes for other clubs in the
league, ,,,,-o .. o..
Brooklyn used to be our worst at
traction here. That game always
cost us $4,000 to $4,000, but now it
should pay us that kind of money"
Rooney said that if the Steelers
formerly the Pirates, wind up "in the
red' this year, he'll give up the club
here.

Burke a four-down defeat. Under
the Inverness scoring plan that gave

title-holder, with 10, failed to make
the first flight, and withdrew. Sew
eral other Washingtonians also
played, but withdrew their cards.
The tourney will wind up tomor-

pion, and Otto Greiner, who sue
ceeded him in 1893, are the only
former titlists in the affair. Roger
Peacock, 1889 champion, did not
start. Roger graduated last night
from law school.
For group of women who haven't
previously been regarded as in the
big time of national feminine golf,
the Washington entrants in the East

do so badly. They won the Osgood
Shield, for the best team entered
in the 54-hole medal play affair,
which wound up yesterday at Five
Farms, and they placed fourth, sew

Among the diversions of the final
day was the disqualification of
Glenna Collett Ware, the six-time
national champion, for playing a
provisional ball after putting her
first shot into water hazard. Dis
qualifications seem to be prevalent
among golfers nowadays.

Keepsie Race Rivals
Doubt Huskies Are
In Poor Shape
Boot Deemed Strongest
Ever From West Coast;
Eust's Men Proised
By BILL WHITE.


POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, June a.
Those guys who plop wearily into
bed in the paper-mache shanties on
the Hudson these warm June nights
aren't the bronzed crew members
who'll churn the waters Tuesday
in the intercollegiate regattas
,tImpteenth renewal.
Instead it's the coaches who are
working themselves to death.
In addition to keeping a sharp
lookout for cessation of the south
wind that's been ruff1ing the river,
and trying to hear what the other
crews are doing, they're dead tired
at night from chasing rumors about
the latest doings of Al Ulbrickson,
the wizard from Washington.
And it's not so much what AIS
doing-as what he isn't doing.
AS "the admiral piled his charges
into a West Coast train he said !:
-"What we need is a siege of hot
weather and good water at Pough-
keepsie." So far the Huskies, who
chased the California crew to a
new course record last year, haven't
had that.
Ulbrickson Too Doleful.
Then he said, II am certain the
crews are faster than the eights
which rowed to victory over Cali
fornia and faster than the eights
which were at Poughkeepsie last
year"
Today, sending his crews through
short workouts, Ulbrickson said he
didn't know when he'd get them
through time trial before the big
=, race. There is no use running a
trial il the boys are not ready for
It," he said, glumly.
=, Indicating. of course, that the
Huskies are in lousy shape and def
nitely not in the running for the
trophy this year
That caused something of a smile
on his listeners faces. Instead of
fooling anybody, it merely served to
strengthen waterfront opinion that
the Ulbrickson boat is so ready that
he isn't going to risk a time trial
for fear the others will find out how
good the Huskies really are and call
the whole thing off.
Huskies Believed o. X.
The "boys who aren't ready for a
time trial. are the same boatload
that raced to a length -a-half
victory over California last April in
the only important test the Huskies
have had this season. Veteran Coast
observers, too, have pointed out that
time trials in Western waters indi-
cate that this is the fastest boat
Ulbrickson ever has skippered.
However the prowess of the WASH
ington boat hasn't scared any one
away from the race. And observers
have made the pre-race speculation
exciting by saying a kind word for
each boat here. .
For example: Navy, they say,
must not be sold short, California is
improving, Columbia and Syracuse
both look ready, Cornell still carries
the chief hopes of the East, Prince
tons boat is smoothing out and Wis
consin has uncovered some surpris-
ing power.

FERTILIZER SUPPLIES
ASSURED DESPITE WAR

In contrast to the acute shortage
Of fertilizer materials suffered at
the beginning of the last European
war, the present purchasing season
for fertilizer finds the country pre-
pared with adequate supplies for
this years crops.
AT the beginning of the last
World War an immediate deficiency
of nitrogen carriers occurred"
said Charles J. Brand, Executive
Secretary and Treasurer of The
National Fertilizer Association.
"There was an almost total absence
of potash. Although there was
plenty of phosphate rock, there was
a shortage of sulphuric acid needed
to make superphosphate.
"When war disrupted shipping
from 1914 to 1918, nitrogen mate
rails for fertilizer became scarce,
as we were once bound to Chile
for nitrates," said Mr.. Brand. "To-
day, we not only have adequate
shipping service from Chile, but
our country is the third largest pro-
Queer Of synthetic nitrogen in the
world, and the largest producer of
ammonium sulphate. The shortage
of sulphuric acid during the last
war was due to the heavy require
ments Of munition manufacturers
for processing their goods. I'm
proved methods of munition makers
no longer require sulphuric acid.
This leaves an adequate supply for
use in making superphosphate.
"In 1914 we were entirely de-
pendent upon Germany for potash.
Today, we produce at home over
go per cent of the potash we use
and have sufficient reserves to care
for our entire needs. In addition
to this, French, German, Palestin-
ian, and Spanish potash are avail
able"
Prices farmers pay for fertilizer
are now lower than before the
World War; prices they pay for all
commodities average 223o higher.
