RENTAL PAID FOR
DAIRY CARS PROBED
Investigation Into Relation Between
Railroads and Private Car Lines
Is Continued

Chicago. January 2s.-The rentals

Louis railroad to the private ear COM
pany from which 1t obtains dairy cars
was made the subject of inquiry today
in the Interstate commerce investiga-
ton into relations between railroads

D. E. Morgan, general freight agent,
testified that the road formerly had
a contract with the Overland Refriger-
ating Despatch by which the railroad
obtained ESQ cars, and paid salaries of
the car line officials amounting to
$1,000, for about $500 month. He
would not admit that the rate was un-
usually low. new contract was en-
tered into this month, he said, between
the railroad and the Atlantic Seaboard
company by which the road obtains
zoo cars a month at a fiat rate of SIS

This examination is related to one

Boyle "The Washington inquiry has
shown some of the roads not making
much money but many of the sub
salaries are. 1t was suspected that re-
lations might be found that We're not
profitable to the railroads, but were
highly profitable to the subsidiaries"

Auburn Five Play Return
Game With Locals To-
night-Game Likely To
Be Warm Affair
by ASA ROUNTREE, JR.

1mbued with the idea that they can
turn the tables on the Columbus Young
Mems Christian association team when
1t comes 10 Birmingham for return
game on February Is, the basketball
experts of the Birmingham Athletic
club will array themselves against the
Orange and Blue aggregation of Au-
burn tonight in the first game of the
series that has been arranged to put
the locals in fit condition for the game
with the Columbus wizards.
Since returning from their first road
trip the locals have had but one hard
workout, others being prevented by
the athletic activities that have oc-
cupied the boards at the club during
the past week. However, Coach Nes-
por's men are in fair shape for to-
nights fracas, they having shown no
i'll effects from the championship tilt
with last years champs. 1t is probable
that Biseoe Seals will be unable TO get
into the fray with Auburn as he is
still suffering from the injuries re-
ceived in last Saturdays game. Either
Nesbitt, Strange or Murdoch will take
his place should he not get into the
game.
The tussle tonight with Auburn will
very likely prove just the stimulant
needed by the local five to put it in
tip-top form, and from all indications
it should be a warm affair While the
Auburn team does not measure up to
the same standard of the Athletic club,
1t nevertheless is a scrappy and dan
gerous little team, one that is likely to
spring surprise at any time If the
opposing players are not wary. The Au-
burn representatives are clean set of
athletes and do not resort to rough
tactics unless their opponents adopt
similar methods.
Although Coach Nespor is confident
of victory, he intends to take no
chances and Will turn loose his best
war dogs on the Orange and Blue foe
men.

Without notifying officials of the local
baseball associates that he did not want
to play in the south, Joe Finneran, the
big hurler, recently purchased by the
Barons from the Philadelphia club III
the National league, has jumped organ
lied baseball and signed two-year con-
tract with the Baltimore club In the
Federal circuit. No intimation or FIN
nerans intended action had reached the
local club and his jumping came as a
complete surprise. Not long ago the re-
port was circulated that Finneran did
not intend to play in the south next
season, but no credence was given to it
by local baseball officials. What action
the local club will take in the matter
President Baugh will not state, as the
whole matter will first be thoroughly in
vestigated. AS Finneran was purchased
outright from the Philadelphia club it is
likely that the Barons will lose the pur-
chase price by the deal
From present indications it looks as If
the long schedule of 154 games Will be
adopted by the schedule committee for
the Southern league next season.
majority of the league moguls are In
favor of it and the action of the COM
mittee is likely to be ruled accordingly.
President Andrews, who has been cham
pioning the short schedule, has altered
his opinion and is now partly In favor
of the long one. President Shropshire
of the Nashville club, yesterday came out
in favor of the longer schedule and his
reasons for desiring it are almost identi-
cal with those advanced by President
Raueh of the local club. New Orleans
officials are desirous of the 154-game

will be little opposition to its adoption.
