...actually managed, with terrific serves and drives that swish faster than any others on this earth, to take a set, the second. But even his efforts, and those of the doughty Chapin, could not prevail against the gleaming, electrical teamwork of Richards and Williams who, rushing for the net after every serve, volleyed their way to the doubles championship of the U. S., 6-4, 6-8, 11-9, 6-3. Elizabeth Ryan and Jean Borotra took the mixed doubles title; Major A. J. Gore and Claude Butlin the Veterans'; Donald and Malcolm Hill, the Father...
...Mifflin ($2.25). This second of the three volumes of poems left for posthumous publication by Amy Lowell is as impersonal as the first volume (What's O'Clock?, 1925) was personal. It contains 13 narratives, mostly in the free, conversational verse that Miss Lowell adapted as a net to catch the crabbed dialect of her much-cherished New England. That dialect imposed restrictions upon her crystalline and pyrotechnic fancy, but only in the matter of actual words. When a New Englander needs an image for swarming bees he may not bethink him of showered stars, yet sparks from...
Railroads drew the attention of investors last week. Forty roads have made reports of their July incomes. Their net earnings total $76,952,620, practically 30% more than the $59,620,046 of July, 1925. It is also a gain of 9.5% over the net earnings of last June.

President William Benson Storey reports that, after all expenses have been deducted from his entire July operating revenues of $25,561,510, he has remaining a net balance of $8,446,943. That is almost double the net operating income ($4,724,336) of July, 1925. This fact and the high earnings of the previous months of this year explain why, last week, Atchison stock was quoted on the Manhattan Stock Exchange at 155%. (On March 30, 1926, its price...
...entire country, were $494,866,776 derived from gross revenues of $3,038,560,861. Some part of these earnings will go to the Government under the recapture provision of the Transportation Act of 1920. This provides that one half of all a railroad's excess net operating income go into the General Railroad Contingent Fund to help impoverished rivals. Income becomes excess when it goes over 5¾% of the road's property valuation. What that valuation should be based upon is in dispute. The Government insists on the 1913 value of the roads, the roads upon...
