Now that the huge earnings of the United States Steel Corporation for the second quarter have been published speculative Interest switched yesterday

to the statement of unfilled tonnage to be announced August 11. This is expected to show a considerable falling

off in orders in hand. The Iron Age

says in its issue today:

"The Steel Corporation's statement

showing $41,200,000 net earnings in the quarter ending with June an amount

only exceeded in one other second quar

CVBS FIGHT HARD. VUHNIRGMME, 5-4 Defeat Giants After Making A Brave Uphill Battle.

With a rush that carried the scornful Qifcnts, Rube Marquard and all. fairly eft their feet yesterday, the Cubs won a brave uphill victory In the seo- ' ond game of the series after the league leaders apparently had the thing nailed down. Final score, 5 to 4. Persistent, unified fighting and daring acceptance of every chance that offered earned the Trojans their triumph, and pretty nearly every man of the fourteen whom Manager Evers pressed into service had a share In the good doings. Starting with James Sanford Lavendr opposed to Richard Le Marquis on the slab, the battle waged hotly for five innings, during which the Cubs held the winning hand by virtue of a single tally counted in the first inning. Lavender seemed to have the numbers of all the visitors at his fingers' tips and held them to one safety in five periods. To save their lives the Cubs

did not seem able to add anything to j their opening run.

SOX LACK SWATS, S0 YA1SWIN, 3-1 Cals Meet Sixth Straight Defeat; Only Four Hits Off Caldwell.

New York. Aug. 1. The White Sox almost won a game yesterday. They scored one run and led in the battle for one inning. Then the Yankees

came along with a rally end got three

and spoiled all the hopes. The final score was 8 to 1.

Trying to win ball games without base hits is all the Sox have done since

leaving home, and they've won nary a

game and lost six In a row. The bat

ting slump prevailed Just as it has every day, and the manager is Just as puszled.over a scheme to break it as

he evnwa.

BURNS AND JONES IN BATTLE INVECTIVES

Los Angeles, Aug. 1. Tommy Burns, ' manager of Arthur Pelky, and Tom Jones, who looks after the Interests of Jess Willard, are booked to hook up in an interesting battle of invectives and near blows within a day or two. Jonea wants to match Willard against Pelky, but Burns in a telegram yesterday, says that Willard must go pet a reputation before presuming to , challenge a champion. "Gunboat Smith is the man Pelky' wants to meet," said. Burns. "Smith beat Willard. and then, again, Charley Miller shaded the Kansas scrapper. Let him get a 'rep' for himself. This sort of language is the sort that makes Jones glad he is alive, for he thrives on argument. " "When did Pelky whip Willard, or anybody of consequence, until he landed a lucky punch on Luther McCarty7" asks Jones. "Willard can whip Pelky, and Burns can nam ehis nown terms. Pelky took one beating from Willard and wants no more." As Willard holds a decision over Pelky, It is probable that Jones will work that argument and a side bet proposition overtime until Burns agrees to a match between the rival white hopes. Jones and Ad Wolgast left last night for San Francisco to talk business with ' Tommy Burns and Willie Ritchie.
