Newark 3, Chicago 2

Twelve bitterly fought rounds were
the sequel to the first half of the
exciting double bill, with Bill Nc
Kechnie playing a prominent part in
the contest. The figures were 30 at
the wind-up, with no less than seven
doubles chalked up to the Newark
batters. Roush was the best sticker,
with four safeties to his credit, but
McKechnie's pinch hit in the ninth
tied IN the count after Rariden had
doubled. Mac was out of the game,
giving Strands a chance to perform,
and he came in to take Falkenberg' S
place at the plate.
FaIkenberg Famed Nine.
Falkenberg pitched wonderful
game. He had nine strikeouts in the
eight rounds in which he worked. His
drop ball, which should rightly be
classified with Matty's fadeaway, was
never more effective. The change in
the batting order necessitated Cy's
removal, and so he did not get credit
for the merited victory. Harry Moran
worked hard in the four innings he
pitched. however, and to his honor
the victory goes. Esmond was large
ly responsible for the breakup in the
twelfth. He singled and took second
on Roush's fourth safety. Then when
nobody was looking for such move
and Brennan was winding up Es-
mond stole third. Scheer's infield out
scored Jimmy. Laporte cracked one
to the fence, scoring Roush.
whales Come Back.
The Whales were not landed with
out a fierce struggle In their half
of the round, with two out, the
Whales almost overcome this two
run lead. Wilson batted for jackson
and doubled and came home when
Mann tore off a single. With Nc
Connell at bat for Smith the outlook
was ticklish, but Moran pulled to-
gether and put enough stuff on the
ball to fan the noted pinch hitting
pitcher.
Mann a Jack Robbit.
Falkenberg was repeatedly cheered
for his fine work on the mound early
in the game. Mann, who was busy
with the stick, paved the way for a
run in the first with a single and then
stole second and third in the second
round. Zieder hit to Falkenberg, who
got Mann at the pan, but Brennan
who had walked, scored when Flack
ripped off a burning base bingle. The
score:

BANTY LEWIS HOME

Local Boy Will Meet Patsy

NOW A REAL LIGHTWEIGHT

Banty Lewis, the Newark boxer, is
back home, but only for a week
Banty is matched to meet Patsy
Haley In a ten-round bout in Roch-
ester, n. Y, one week from tonight
The boxers will weigh in at 1913
pounds ringside. Lewis is now full
fledged lightweight
While playing basketball last win
ter he sustained a broken ankle. Dur
ing his idleness he took on weight and
came out of the hospital weighing las
pounds. Lewis decided to go on a
tour of upper New York State. He
trained consistently and was able to
bring himself down to the lightweight
limit.
Lewis left Newark on April II, and
since his absence he has engaged in
three bouts, winning all. His first
opponent was frankie Nelson, whom
he defeated in six rounds. Then he
met Happy Davis in ten rounds and
Joe Goldberg, and Lewis's victory
over Goldberg made him a popular
youth In upper New York, as Gold :
berg was rated as one of the best IN
that section. If he succeeds in out
classing Haley, Lewis will probably
be matched to meet Kid Kansas, the
hard-hitting Buffalo lightweight.

Profits to Railroads in Grain Are
Claimed by farmers To Be Great

Chicago-Statistics of operating ex-
pense and freight revenue on four
leading Western railroads were pre-
sented before w. M. Daniels, Inter-
state Commerce commissioner, to sup
port the objections of the National
Council Farmers Cooperative associa-
tion to a proposed advance of / cent a
hundred pounds in the grain and grain
product freight rates, which are among
the increases asked by Al Western
railroad systems on certain commodi-
ties.
The tabulated figures were compiled
by Jean Paul Muller, an expert rate
case statitician, formerly connected
with the statistical department of the
Interstate commission.
After reviewing in detail the meth
DDS he used in assembling the figures
showing gross profit and operating ex-
penses of railroads, Mr.. Muller said:
''It is my opinion that grain traffic
is more profitable to these four car
riers, the Rock Island, the Santa Fe,
the Burlington and the st. Paul roads,
than the average of all other traffic
carried by them"
His deductions were made from re-
ports and statistics furnished him by
the railroad officials.
In the review of the Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific operating expenses
and revenue, Mr.. Muller declared.
"The total road cost divided by the
reported number of loaded freight car
miles, with an allowance for the cost
of empty return haul-figured. at 40
per cent Of the loaded-gives a road
movement cost per loaded car per mile
of 1928 cents.

Shasta Limited Hits Automobile;
Kills -Four Children, Injuries Driver

Creswell, Or. - The northbound
Shasta Limited of the Southern Pacific
company Sunday struck an automobile
driven by F. E. Sly in front of his
home here, smashed itlto fragments
and killed four small children who oc-
cupied the tonneau, besides injuring
Mr.. Sly SO badly that it is thought he
cannot recover.
The dead: Beulah Morss, aged 12;
George Robinette, aged 8; Vincent
Treanor, aged 8; Dorothy Treanor,
aged 6.
Mr.. Sly is an elderly man. He had
just brought his automobile from the
garage and alighted to open the gate
leading to the Southern Pacific track,
intending to cross the i Pacific High
way, when the four children came
along on their way to Sunday school.
They were invited to ride and clamb-
cred into the car. 1t was apparent
that neither they nor Mr.. Sly saw or
heard the approaching train, for Mr..
Sly got in and ran the automobile onto
the track directly in front of it.
The Mortified witnesses heard a
crash and saw the automobile hurled
high in the air and fall at one side of
the track. The train sped on without
stopping, it's engnie crew unconscious
of what had happened.
