Well, folks, everybody seems to think that the Pirates won the world's baseball title In the greatest series of games ever staged Personally, I had the best days of my baseball career In the sixth and seventh struggles. It really doesn't matter who receives the pitching credit for the last and deciding gamer so-iong as our side won, but since I have been named as the winner, I cannot help but feel that I am walking on the air, so to speak. Manager McKechnle had decided to use every possible pitching precaution to win the wonderful honor. He started Vic Aldridge, who had been resting only two days. Vic seemed to have his stuff.

tut his control was a little off color. Aldridge was great in his other games and I think he deserves credit for his willingness" and eagerness to start the last fight. MORRISOX TANKED FOR HEAVY STRIKER. I "Johnny Morrison gave the Ben-ators much trouble, but as we were trailing in the fourth wheM It was his turn to bat. Skipper BUI decided to take out Johnny.

"I was getting ready in the bullpen. Although I had had only one day of rest I felt fine and surely was tickled when I went into the battle In the fifth and found that all my stuff was at my disposal. PECKINPATJGH'S HIT HIS ONLY SETBACK. "Roger Pecklnpaugh nailed one of my offerings in the eight for a home run that placed the American League stars ahead, but the world now knows what our great team accomplished in the last half of the Inning. Blgbee, batting for me, is entitled to much commendation for his double, which tied up the game.

Red Oldham, pitched the ninth inning and I wish yon could have seen how Red worked on Rice and Goslin, two great hit ters. "Well, folks, it won't be long now until I will be back among those who are closest to my heart. Until then, so long."

Facing questions from City Attorney Leon Gray, Richard Sachse, valuation expert and consulting engineer for the Key System Transit Company, was called upon today to defend valuations he has placed upon the company property. Sachse was a witness In a resumption of the hearing by the California Railroad Commission of the company's request for an' increase of fares to 8 cents for street cars, cents for transbay passage and $6.40 commutation to San Francisco. Commissioners Seavey and, George Squires sat in the hearing, which was held in the city hall. SACHSE QUIZZED ON APPRAISAL METHOD.

Gray questioned Sachse as ys his methods of arriving, at a valuation of $3,747,819 for Investment or $34,224,401 as a replacement valuation. Sachse said the first represented the actual investment and the second a valuation based on what It would cost to replace the company's property. Sachse stated that he had given no consideration in the compilation of the fact that the company's franchises run out in a com paratively short time. Gray sought to show that In this case the only value of the company would be a salvage value. Sachse said that he had based his figures on a belief that the company's properties would continue to operate until they were worn out.

He said that If he had to consider the other alternative he would have so to Increase the rate of depreciation that the final outcome would be the same and the rate asked for would not change. KEEN COMPETITION NOT CONSIDERED. Sachse maintained that earnings do not fix valuation and that in arriving at his figures he did not take Into consideration the growing competition of private and publicly owned autos nor the fact that certain of the system's lines are paralleled by those of the Southern Pacific, which becomes an active competitor. Sachse admitted that if an increase of rate was granted as asked that the earnings of the company would fall off. However, this would be for only the first six months and by a year the earning would be back to normal, he declared.

He said that with the increased revenues the company could make its service so attractive that people would be glad to ride, even at the higher rate. He admitted also that the Talse in rates would affect most strongly the short-haul passenger, a type of business that the company Is most desirous of securing. He said, however, that this type formed but a small portion of the company's income and that thus the gross would be but slightly affected. Sachse said that he did not believe that the increase in rates-would make a bridge project across the bay any more attractive and that even if the bridge were built it would still be necessary to ferry a vast population across the bay and the company would not be affected to any great extent. The hearing will continue this afternoon.
