Mats Poor Road Club
but Strike Il Rich;
Open With hacks
By Burton Hawkins
Stor Stoff CORRESPONDENT

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 10.-The
Mats are a notoriously poor road
club, capturing only 10 of so en-
gagements, but it's on the road that
they're getting rich. Washington is
cashing in on the closest American
League race in years.
AS a sixth place club, with no out
standing individual, the Mats are
no gate attraction. but it isn't re-
fected in their gate receipts while
travelling. They're hitting the jack
pot, what with playing before a
crowd of 72,434 in Cleveland and
another of 62,626 in New York.
The Mats have played before 814,-
400 customers on the road, an aver
age of more than $4,000 per playing
date. They're averaging l2,300 at
home, where they have attracted
less than $4,000 fans.
In seven dates at Cleveland the
Mats have played to 205 O01 specta-
tors an average of 29,429 but at New
York the Mats may display better
average. There in six dates, they
have capitalized on the Yankees
drawing power to the extent of 1922
079 customers, or an average o1
320I3.
In four dates at Boston the Mats
have averaged 26,707 and in seven
dates at Detroit they show an aver
age of 21,S74. At Philadelphia, Chi
cago and st Louis the Mats average
takes a decided plunge to 1861
1885 and 1900, respectively.
Against Chicago the Mats show
their three smallest gatherings oi
the season. There they have enticed
such private parties as LIST, 1907
and 2,108 At ST. Louis, though, the
Mats attendance has ranged from
1902 down to 1898.

Victim Killed Without Warning.
Patton and Wheeler were convicted
of killing Mr.. Bernstein about II
am. June S, 1916, in his drugstore
at 1876 Florida avenue NV.
One of the men, described as

IT think you would be in a very
serious situation not only domestic

Francis replied.
Since the hearings opened Mon
day, several witnesses have con-
tended that the financial statements
of business concerns make their
profits appear larger than they
really are because accounting
methods make NO allowance for the
fact that a dollar no longer buys
what it did 10 years ago. This argu-
ment had particular reference to
funds set aside for depreciation and
replacement.

doubt that price resistance and
cost-of-living squeeze are playing a
part in the downtrend.
Some storemen in other cities who
had anticipated continuation Of
bigger sales now pin their hopes on
a last-minute upsurge. The board
report showed the national decline
in sales amounted to 4 per cent
below last wear. Decreases ranged
from per cent in the Boston area
to 8 per cent in the San Francisco
area.

However, retail sales were up
moderately to sharply from the pre-
vious week. Shoppers turned out
in good numbers for Christmas pro-

orally more choosy than last year

fore a second congressional CON-
mittee.

Administration is the Government S
buying agent. It's purchases include
grain sent to foreign countries as
