Another feature of this entrench-

follows: The country has been feel

of an unhealthy condition of the rail
way business. II the railways had

this time for operation and additions

their expenditures for these accounts
wound have been during this period
about four hundred million dollars
larger than they were. II there had

proportion as there was in 1907. the
mileage built weuld have been seven
ty-two hundred miles greater than II
wss, which would have involved an
additional expenditure of approx
nately three hundred million dollars.
Who can doubt that the fact that the
railways during these years greatly
curtailed their expenditures has been

WITH LEFT ARM HURT
ATTELL BEATS BURNS
Champion, Boxing Under a Sc
we're Handicap, Floors Jer-
sey PugiIist.

NEW YORK April 1-"Abe'' Attell
had to call upon ali the qualities that
have made him feathcrNeiglt champion
TO defeat FRANKIE Burns of Jersey
City at the National Sporting Club last
night. Not SO much because Burns ap-
preached -Attell in ability, but because
the latter's left shoulder badly hurt sew
eral weeks ago, went back on him. From
the fifth round TO the end Attell fought
with only his right arm, using the other
merely for defense, yet he managed to
floor his opponent twice for a count OF
nne-once in the eighth and again in
the ninth round.
The champion worked under another
handicap. for he had agreed to meet
Burns at rs pounds ringside. four pounds
lighter than his usual boxing weight. At
tell looked drawn and too finely trained
while his younger rival was i'm the pink
of condition.
For four rounds Attell went along at an
even pace, scoring almost at will with
short snappy blows. feintinG Burns into
knots and keeping the latter's head bob
bling back continually from the force of
his jabs. Burns acted like an amateur
actor attacked with stage fright.
An unexpected turn came in the fifth
round. Burns, gaining more confidence
and aware that he was being outboNed,
started to rush matters to close quarters
and exchange wildly. Attell met him half
way and returned blow for blow. For a
time the champion held the upper hand.
forcing Burns against the ropes and land
ing left and right. A moment later, how
ever, Attell was seen 10 give ground and
go on the defensive. his left arm hanging
| limp. The round ended in hot mixup.
The next three rounds found Attell get
| ting much the worst of the bout. He was
resting apparently, saving his strength.
and permitted Burns to do all the lead
| ing. The Jersey youngster reached At
tell with q perfect shower of light jabs
and counters. following -Attell around the
| ring with left and right blows.
| Attell kept his strength despite the
beating that Burns administered. Burns
blows. though snappy, seemed to lack
power. Stuns by the retorts OF some of
+, the spectators who thought he was not
! trying his best, Attell rallied suddenly in
the ninth. fought Burns off with his right,
drove him to the ropes and foored him
/ for the count of nine with a hard swing.
Burns came hack willingly, but was I'M
| able to hold his own. In the tenth he
was again toppled to the canvas and bad

| working his right arm in pistOnlike
fashion.

There is not much likelihood that the
proposed rule barring men who have
played professional ball during the last
two years from engaging in the amateur
sport in the leagues in the District will
pass. Such decided opposition has been
brought against it that there does not
seem a chance for the measure to go
through.
The aversion to the amendment came
from the players and managers alike.
Those men who have played professional
ball do not want to be thrown out of
the game for good, and those who have
not do not desire to have their chances
of playing again for two years killed if
they get an opportunity to play in some
league which comes under the national
commission and fail to make good. The
managers naturally are not anxious to
get rid of their best men before the sea-
son starts.
That those who have charge of diff
ferent teams in the various amateur
leagues do not believe the measure will
get through is clearly shown by the eff
forts they have made to sign players who
come under the mentioned class. In two
or three of the leagues which at present
come under the amateur commission
there have been men signed to play with
several of the teams who played profess
sional ball last year. These managers
would not be worrying themselves about
getting hold of these men unless they
were sure that they were going to play.
At almost every league meeting which
has been held during the past week in
which The question has come up for dis
cuSsiOD there was exhibited a decided
sentiment against the resolution as it
now stands. While nothing official has
been given out. those present have sig
nified that the question was not very IA
vorably received.
Taking everything into consideration
it would seem that the amendment as
advocated by the rules committee is due
to die natural death. However, it is
believed that some rule will be adopted
by the commission to govern the playing
of professionals after they have returned
at the end of the professional season.
Just what nature this will partake of is
hard to tell. although it is likely that
a time limit will be set on when a man
may return from having received a try
out with a professional club and be
played in championship games.
The game yesterday between the Mary
land Aggies and Georgetown was called
off by the latter team, the reason being
given that it was too cold to play. 1t

BY J. ED GRILLO.

Though George Stone has been sent
back to the minors, he would probably
stand a much better chance of strength
ening some major league team than 90
per cent Of the youngsters who are
brought up for trial every spring. Strange
enough, one poor season put Stone out
of the major circuit. 4 few years ago
Stone would have been welcomed by any
club at a fancy figure. but the fact that
he did not play up to his standard last
year made his reputation with the big
league managers worthless. and his re-
turn to the minors is the result.
That Stone became discouraged because
of the poor showing of the St. Louis team
there is hardly doubt. Being with a
loser is not rosy path for any ball play
err, but some Of them stand up better un-
der such conditions than do others. Stone
is evidently one of those players who
cannot stand up under criticism such as
Is sure to come to a losing team.
St. Louis fans have the reputation Of
being particularly severe on the players,
and for this reason it will never be an
easy matter to build up a winner there.
In refusing to play any more games
with the Atlanta team Manager McAleer
has acted wisely. Facing pitching which
most any schoolboy could hit is not help
ing the players to round into condition.
though they might get lot of pleasure
out OF this sort of thing. Not one of the
pitchers Atlanta has pitted against the
major leaguers playing there has shown
the slightest form. On the other hand,
McAleer is able to put strong pitchers
against his two teams every day and fig
ures that they furnish the players better
batting practice than would a lot of
bushers. There is one thing about the
Nationals training this spring which
should bear fruit-the team has been
against good pitchers in nearly every
game, and when the season opens it
should be accustomed to facing the real
thing. After the team had been in train
ing q few days McAlee~ had batteries
working against the bafters, and the
pitchers were using about everything they
had.
