the fight of Philip Rixzuto and
Gerald Priddy to remain q Sec
ond base combination.
Everybody who saw Phil Rix-
zuto and Gerry Priddy In Kansas
City livery the past two cam
paigns Is amazed at Joe McCar-
thy's hesitation to let them con-
tinue to call the turn on one an
other.
What does a pair have to do to
be permitted to carry on in the
jump from IA to the majors? All
Rizzuto and Priddy did with the
Blues last season was to make
1913 double plays, an all-time
baseball record.
It Is true tina toe Gordon II
one of the great second basemen
but the obvious thing to do-at
the start at least-is to shift him
to third base, where the 32-year-
old Red Rolfe batted no more
than $50 in 1910.
Because Frank Crosetti was .
genuine All-America out last
trip, Rizzuto Is certain to open
at shortstop. He prefers to have
his pal. Priddy, on the other side
of the bag.
But Manager Mccarthy ap-
pears to be toying with the idea
of employing Priddy at third.
You get the idea that Marse
Joe suspects It might be unwise
to let two such callow youths
as Rizzuto and Priddy perform
alongside one another in the two
most important positions In the
infield.
COMBINATION
INSEPARABLE
In Rizzuto and Priddy, the
American League has another
partnership like that of Lou
Boudreau and Ray Mack of
Cleveland.

Two Utility Findings
Cited in Plea for
Competitive Bids
S. E. G. Uses Columbus,
Sun Antonio Deals
AS Examples
By the Associated Press.

Describing what it termed dis
orderly competition" in two recent
refunding operations, the Securi-
ties Commissions public utilities di-
vision asserted late yesterday that
competitive bidding was the only
possible means of avoiding competi-
ton of this character"
This view was expressed in a de-
tailed report of an investigation Of
the issuance of bonds last fall by
San Antonio Public Service Co. and
Columbus e. Southern Ohio Electric
Co., both subsidiaries in the United
Light & Power Co. system.
The history of the two transac-
tions," the staff said, bears sharp
ly upon the competitive bidding
problem now being considered by
the commission"
(The staff recently recommended
that the S. E. C. require competi-
tive bids in the sale Of public util-
ity issues of more than S1,000.000.
The commission sat for five days at
public hearings on the proposal and
was reported to be considering a
revised form of the recommended
tion)
Termed Unsatisfactory.
The utilities division staff de-
clared that the outcome of the San
Antonio deal could not be regarded
as entirely satisfactory from the
point of view of any of the parties
to the transaction"
Stated briefly, the investigation
report showed that Mellon Securities
Corp, Pittsburgh, had arranged a
syndicate to handle a S16500,000
bond issue by San Antonio, with a
public offering price of 107 and net
to the company of 105, but at the
last minute. Otis & Co. Cleveland
investment house, submitted a bid
of lot net.
Thereupon. the Mellon group
changed its plans so that the bonds
were sold to the public at 10712 with
a net to the company of LOT. For
practical purposes, the syndicate did
not function, since the bonds were
sold mostly on a directed basis to
90 institutional investors.
Headed by Dillon, Read.
Dillon. Read & Co., New York,
managed the Columbus & Southern
Ohio transaction. The story of this
related principally to the increase of
Otis & Co.'S participation from
S1,3O0,OO0 to s2,3O0,000 The Cleve-
land house mentioned competitive
bidding early in the transaction, but
it was not discussed further and the
bonds were sold to the public at LOT,
with net to the company of 105.
1T is hard to escape the conclu-
sion," the staff said, that, if there
had been competition in the Colum-
GUS transaction, the issuing company
would have received a higher price
for its bonds"
