The Brewers, OF course, are sit

Hot BAT Keeps Hatton,
Crippled Red, From
|Much-Needed Rest
BY Fha Assoeiotsd Pres.

CINCINNATI, Aug. 2l.-If might
take a little conversation to con-
vince certain National League
pitchers that Grady Hatton, the
Cincinnati Reds sophomore third
baseman, really is crippled.
So far this month, with the tenn
perature near 100 degrees practi-
cally every day, the stocky young
Texan with a taped leg has banged
out Is hits-including five homers,
two triples and four doubles-to
raise his batting average 10 points,
to .307.
Grady has charley horse in his
right leg and shouldn't be playing
at all" said Warren Giles, presi-
dent and general manager of the
club. He needs complete rest but
We can't afford to rest a hot bat
like that"
Thanks to that AT August clip,
Hatton is the Reds second best hit
ter. Still hopeful of finishing in the
first division, the club opens a l2-
game Eastern tour against the
Giants at New York tonight. Augie
Galan, veteran Redleg chaser, is
top man with 1872.
Hatton. 25-year-old native OF
Beaumont. Tex. broke into organ
lied baseball with Cincinnati only
last year and failed to hit in only
three of the 18 games he has played
this month.
His best afternoon was against
Pittsburgh, here August II, when he
went four-for-four-a homer, triple
and two doubles.
Furthermore, Hatton has shown
no evidence of cooling off,"
Last Sunday against the Chicago
Cubs, the youngster got two hits in
three tries-including his 18th homer
with mate aboard. That blow gave
Roommate Ewell Blackwell his 10Th
mound victory and sixth shutout
this season.
Called on to pinch in the sec
ond game, Grady obliged with a
sharp single that drove two runs
home.
Hatton hit IA round -trippers and
batted .27l in 1l6 games last season.
Near the end of the campaign,
when he was running down a ramp
to the dressing room. a little girl
stepped in his path.
He elected to crash into concrete
wall. His knee was fractured.

FIeisher 10 Present
Ring Magazine Belt
To Graziano Here

Nat Fleisher, otherwise Mr. Box
ing, the editor, publisher and chief
writer of Ring Magazine and COM
piler of the fight games record
books, is due in Washington today.
Reason for his trip is to make ar
rangements for presenting the Ring
Magazine championship belt to
Rocky Graziano, the middleweight
king, during next Monday nights
fight show at Griffith Stadium.
Rocky is down for four round
exhibition on the show against
Heavyweight Cliff Keorkle.
The belt will be presented here
instead of In New York, where such
ceremonies usually take place. be-
cause Rocky is on the outs with the
boxing commission there.
Since taking the title from Tony
Zale, Rocky has been hitting the fight
circuit with exhibitions two or three
times a week Washington pot only
is the largest city on his tour so far,
but also is the Nations Capital,
hence selection of the Griffith Sta
dium ring as scene of the presenta-
ton.
According to reports reaching Pro-
moter Goldie Ahearn of the Liberty
A. c.. the outfit responsible for
Rocky's show here Monday, Rocky
has been drawing excellent crowds
on his tour of tank towns. Wash
ington's fight fans credit themselves
with being more sophisticated than
those in the little club towns Rocky's
hit so far, so Goldie is backing his
appearance here with an all-star
card and also has scaled down the
prices to more popular levels. The
usual $40 tops has been lowered to
$6 for this show.
Three eight-rounders are backing
Graziano's exhibition. Fighters are
Aaron Perry against Bob Cummings,
Al Wright against Kid Wolfe and
Sonny Boy West against Harry La
sane. The Wright-W and the
West-Lasane bouts are returns,
Wright and Lasane having won pre-
vious bouts.
Several applicants were upset
when Lasane outpointed West re-
Gently. Sonny Boy was in the midst
of real buildup designed to make
him main-eventer. He'd beaten a
bunch Of guys named Joe-14 in a
row, in fact-until Lasane came
along. Hence the rematch.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 21.-If the
st. Louis Cardinals repeat by
coming from behind to snatch
the National League pennant
from the Brooklyn Dodgers. all
the howls that go up in Mound
City won't be for joy.
Last fall after the Cardinal
Dodger pennant playoff there
was considerable hue and cry
over the fact that only about
$4,000 reserved seat World Series
tickets were left for sale to the
general public for the games at
Sportsmans Park. This time,
unless 1t develops that such
speculation Is entirely unneces-
sary, only about $500 will be left
for John @. Public.
Main reason for this situa ton
Is that the Cardinals have sold
some 10000 ticket books this
season, about double the number
sold in 1916. Each holder Of
two Of these books Is entitled to
a set Of World Series tickets II
the Redbirds win.
Cardinal Manager Eddie Dyer's
prediction that the pennant
chase would end in another
bruising battle between the
World Champions and their old
Brooklyn foes. with Boston and
New York close behind. is re-
markable in that he made it
early last June when the Red
birds were giving their all to get
out OF the loops dungeon. Dyer's
faith in the club doesn't change
with the standings and his
original forecast still stands.
He'll go this far: IF we con-

no serious injuries, we'll have q

5EEi!NG OF GOLD IN
 EFFECT FOR B YEARS

Treasury Department offici have informed Delegate Bartlett shst they are mystified by recent publicity given to regulation ;tanding since 1884 which allows the purchase and sale of natural gold on the domestic market.
 From the news accounts which appeared in Alaska papers as well as those throughout the rest of the country it would appear that new and mere profitable market has been opened to gold miners, but Delegate Bartlett's inquiry at the Treasury Department stemming from his belief that the interpre- taticn of the Gold Reserve Act of 1894 had long been known and car ried out resulted in confirmation of his belief by the Treasury De- oartment's General Counsel.
 The latitude given miners in sell ing gold without license untreated by heat or chemicals to domestic purchasers, such as jewellers and dentists, has been in effect for l3 years
 The advantage to the miner who sells gold in the natural state on such market over and above the Treasury price of gold of s35 fine ounce is not substantial since the number of purchasers is limited

instance in the twenty-four years covered by its study "has business enjoyed than two con secutve quarters of such high earnings have been recorded in the past two quarters
 Attention is also directed to the fact that earn ings in recent months probably been overstated because reserves set up for depreciation have been inadequate Depreciation charges usually are based upon original cost and the anticipated period of uza tion As a result of the sharp rise in building and machinery costs during the war and postwar periods the fund set aside for replacement will prove to be too small when new machines must be acquired Many large corporations have recently called attention to this fact, and in some instances-for example United States Stee-have set aside part of their re- ported profits to meet this contingency.
 An additional factor to be considered is that part of these recent profits reflect the gains in inventory values which have attended rising prices. To the extent that prices decline these inventory profits will be replaced by inventory losses. In examining the general level of profits and long-term record, as well as the advertisements flowing from the de- preciation policy and the probability of inventory losses must be kept in mind
