BALTIMORE AFTER

Especial to The Richmond virgfnian)
Baltimore, Nd. Oct lo.-The
chance for Baltimore getting into the
American League Ii looming big. as
it is now pretty certain that the Wash
ington franchise will be Transferred.
The report reaches Baltimore from
an authentic source and Baltimore's
name Is included In the report.
Brooklyn was first mentioned for the
franchise, but President Tener. OF the
National League. would not stand for
it. The talk has now switched to
Baltimore, and local fans are sitting
up and taking notice. Nothing short
of a big league franchise will stop
the suit, of the local Federals against
organized ball, which has been fled
in Philadelphia. This will be squash

READING CASE UP
IN SUPREME COURT

Washington. Oct 10.--The United
States Supreme Court began its real
work today with the hearing OF the
governments antitrust suit against
the Reading Railroad interests for al
legged monopoly OF anthracite coal pro-
duction and transportation. Solicitor
General John w. Davis and G.. Carroll
Todd. assistant to the attorney gen.
eral. appeared for the government
Opposing counsel included John q.
johnson. Jackson f. Reynolds. Charles
e. Heehner. Charles e. Miller and
Robert w. DeForrest.
Associate Justice Brandets made hts
first appearance in big antitrust suit
by the government. He and Justices
Pttney and Holmes were very much
interested in the proceeding and asked
many questions.
The suit is brought against the
Reading Company. a holding corpora
ton: the Philadelphia and Reading
Railroad. the Philadelphia and Read
Ing Coal and Iron Company. the Cen
trail Railroad of New Jersey, the Le-
high and Wilkes Barre Coal Company
and others. Both tho government and
tho coal roads appealed from a de-
cfston given in Pennsylvania in 1913
which partly sustained and partly dis
missed the charges made. Now the
government seeks to separate the
Reading and Central OF New Jersey
and coal interests. to separate trans
portation and production, to restore
competition between the Reading and
the Central Of New Jersey. and to re-
distribute stock of the Lehigh and
WiIkes-Barre Coal Company.

OPENS GREAT MEETING

fore an audience which taxed tho ca
pacity OF the spacious tabernacle
which had been erected for the
meetings to be held hero during the
next four weeks. the long-expected
evangelist. Gypsy Smith. Jr, deliv-
cred his initial sermon last night. To
say that the eager thronE was all ex-
pectant, would be stating It mildly. as
the large auditorium was filled long
before the hour OF 7:45. and when
the noted preacher finally took his
place on the stand. there was only
standing room left, and many hun
dreds were obliged to depart or to
listen outside.
Mr.. Smith was easily master of the
situation, ana fully met the expecta-
lions. Massive and athletic Of build,
his smooth shaver face beamed with
tho earnestness OF the soldier of
Christ. and he from the very first
word fastened the attention Of his
hearers.
