NEW YORK, September 18.—Few foot ball coaches face a more critical period this fall than does Jock Suth- erland, who has stepped into Glenn Warner's shoes at the University of Pittsburgh and now has his squad working out at Windber, Pa. Sutherland has the feats of one of the country's greatest coaches to duplicate if he is to make a hit, and he has a pretty small nucleus left over from last vear with which to work. aduation last - Fall removed both his star guards, Seldleson and Templeton; Capt. Jordan, end: Shu- ler, quarterback. and two of his best halfbacks, Flanagan and Bohren. Moreover, mighty swift action is necessary on Sutherland's part, for, with only one preliminary game— that with Grove City on September 27—Pittsburgh must tackle Lafay- ette on October 4 and West Virginia on October 11. Syracuse comes on the 1st of November, Washington and Jefferson on November 15 and Penn State, the big final, on November 27. But the thing that interests Suther- land most just now are those two carly October contests. Williamson is Sutherland's assist- ant, having been brought back from Grove City Coliege, where he coached last year, and Carlson, with Temple- ton of last year's team, is handling the freshman team.

The Ohio lad squared at the fifth with the aid of a stymie. Gene again went into the lead at the sixth, but lost the seventh to a fine 4 for Nabholtz. That is the way they came to the turn.. Sarazen for the first time became down at the tenth, where he pitched into a bunker short of the green and went over the green in three. Al- though Nabholtz put his tee shot into a bunker at the eleventh, he got a half for Gene's try for ~a 3 brushed by the 1ip of the cup. Tak- ing that wide bden implement he used so well against Fred McLeod for his approach putt at the twelfth, Gene left himself too much to do and dropped the hole, for Nabholtz was weil inside of the second shot and made a holable putt for a 3 The situation had become changed.

Cleveland, St Louis and Detroit are leading the league as batters, and their leader- ship in this particular is not accident. Those clubs really have the better batters, yet they are trailing the Na- tionals and the Yankees, the two real pennant contenders. Cleveland, low as it has sunk in the percentage column,shas borne out all its batting promise of the spring. Had the Cleveland pitchers been as £00d as the batters, the race might have been a different story. St. Louis has a batting outfield that appeared of blue ribbon class before the season started, and that is finish- ing well, all things considered, but 3t. Louis did not have enough blue ribhoners. Detroit has not hit as well as was expected, but it has hit well enough to rate as one of the hardest hitting teams in the league. Yet all these slugging teams are out of the pennant race. Which only goes to prove once more that it takes more than batting to win a championship. There must be something in the pitcher’s box an¢ a defense back of the pitcher. since CHANCE FUNERAL TODAY.

The increased net earnings were on a proportion- ately increased volume of business which required large ad- ditions to plant, the average book cost of our property being approximately $1,900,000 higher for the first half of this year than for the same period of 1923. 0000 R ) RN £y Lo XX i Stated as to percentage of net return on the book cost of the property (which is substantially in line with the last valuation of the property made by the Commission) the rate for the first six months of this year was 7.66%, per annum as against 7.70%, per annum for the first six months of 1923. T ST o e s 2% 1 Experience has shown us that we cannot as profitable a business for the second six months of the year as for the first six months, the second halif including, as it does, the quiet summer months. In 1923 net earnings, which were 7.709, for the first six months, were 6.43%, for the second six months, or an average for the year of 7.03%,. It is unlikely that the present year’s earnings will be at any higher rate than the very moderate return in 1923.
