wINDFALL FOR RAILROADS

The reports Of the Interstate COM
merce Commission have thrown inter
esting sideIghts on the railroad sltua-
ton. II 1t had not been for the war

eminent, it Is probable that NUMBER
OF them would by this time be IN the

the net income Of the roads has fallen
a half billion dollars behind those OF
last year. It would be altogether
-one 10 ascribe this unpleasant fact
10 me control OF the government or to
4ha WAT. Even before the war the
fnanctaa conditions Of the railroads
were ON an inclined plane. and the
war, with its great reQuisition OF trans
outatfon, has rather helped than
harmed them. Even before the war
the credit OF the railroads was sink
ing. During the first three months or
xoyernment regulation one hundred
and fourteen American railroads
earned a net operating income OF fifty
four millions, against one hundred and
fourteen millions for the same period
under private direction in 1917. For
the three-month period ended March,
Interstate Commerce Commission sta
tistjcs show operating revenues were
seven hundred and twenty-SiI millions.
cEoa SIX hundred and Lightweight
millions in 1917; operating expenses,
81: hundred End thirty-seven against
I've hundred and twelve millions, and
act revenue from railway operations
s8enty-e;~ht against one hundred and
eeTenty-tve millions. The operating
income for March vas fifty against
Ifty-seven millions for the same month
iast year. The earnings report indl-
,nees roughly thar the government
lost more than one hundred million
dollars in operation Of the railroads
during January. February and March.
Railroad administration officials. how
ever, looked for such a record as re-
suit Of bad weather and traffic losses
in January. They believe the loss will
be made up in later months. For the
first time the Interstate Commerce
Commission reported the item of net
operating income, which is the basis
Of government compensation. This,
Tor the one hundred and fourteen roads
reporting. amounted to forty-si1 mil
lions, which Is the operating income.
Less expenditures for equipment. rents
and joint facility charges. For the
same roads in the corresponding period
Of last year this item was one hundred
and thirtyfour million dollars. These
figures are not very reassuring, but
since the strong hand Of the govern
nent has interviewed the many owners
of railroad securities may rest assured
again. Although the contract and
conditions between the government
and the railroads have not yet been
definitely fixed in detail, some of the
roads have already been able 10 re-
deem their notes with the financial aid
bf the government, and to others con-
siderable amounts have been advanced
ON the basis OF the average net in
come for the past three years. 1t can
not be doubted that the railroad situa-
ton is improving. This not only
ser7es the interests of the security
holders. but also strengthens the en-
tire economic condition Of the country.

Operations opened up section
number two yesterday at American
League Park when 1t won a poorly
and loosely played game from the
Army Medicos by a IA to s count.
Operations went with a rush in
the first chapter when the clerks
scored seven tallies. Three passes
and hits by Degnan. Mathews,
Harnsberger and Won Herbulis did
the trick.
S. Clark who started on the
mound for Army was relieved un-
der fire in the first by Delhale. Del
was hit hard all through the con-
test but his team mates could no,
overcome the big handicap. the op-
ponents gathered in the opening
chapter. Won Herbulis was hit
hard in spots.
Medicos managed to get to Won
in the third for six tallies. Six
hits with two bases on balls with
some loose fielding by his colleagues
aided and abetted by a couple OF
errors did the scoring for the doc
tors. Phyle relieved Won Herbulis
in the fourth and held the Medicos
safe the rest of the way. The Army
scored two runs off PhyIe but Oper-
alton had a big lead and he let up
in his work. Owens worked the
last inning but there was no more
scoring by the Army team.

MURRAY DEFEATS TLLIEN
FOR TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIP

could have withstood the relentless at
tack of the Californian. Tilden, for
the last three weeks, has been suffer-
ing from badly infected right foot,
blood poisoning having developed at
Longwood, during the playing of the
national doubles. Yesterday the wound
broke on his right heel, just where the
top OF the shoe touched, and every
move must have been painful to the
Philadelphian. 1t was noticeable
throughout the match that Tilden was
never able to foot about his court with
his usual wonderful speed, and many
Of Murray's placement shots he did
not even attempt to return, staying
back court almost entirely.
In the final set, with Murray leading
him at So on games. the clay court
champion, knowing IL must be then or
never. forgot his injured foot. forgot
the deadliness of Murray's volleying
and smashing. and closed in at the net
himself, throwing caution to the winds.
For three dazzling games Tilden
smothered the Californian by series
of wonderful placement shots, during
which he took his place at the net and
cut of Murray's returns in a manner
that reused the great gallery to wave
after wave of applause. He brought
the games to SAIL and 1t seemed as
though he had at last struck his stride
and was going to give Murray tre-
mendous battle for the championship
But this flash was Tilden's final bid
and Murray. maintaining the same
amazing pace that had distinguished
his playing all the way, won the elev-
enth game at love-" two tremendous
service aces accounting for the last
two points. He then won the twelfth
game for the seat at Is. the match
and the championship. Tilden sending
the last return into the net as he tried

New York, Sept. 3.-Robert Lind
ley Murray. the rushing meteor" Of
the court. and one of the most
spectacular players who ever came
out of California to dazzle the East.
won the national singles lawn ten
mis- championship this afternoon by
defeating William T. Tilden. End.
OF Philadelphia, by the decisive
score of 6-3, 6-1, 7-5. The match
took place on the championship"
court of the Westside Tennis Club
at Forest Hills and was witnessed
by gallery that completely filled
the big grandstand and stood in
hundreds along the fences. that sur
rounded the courts.
Murray's tremendous net attack.
service that was absolutely merci-
less in its terrific power and speed,
and an amazing control of his vol
leying shots were the fetures
OF the match and the weapons
wherewith the stalwart son of the
golden West battered Tilden down
to defeat and rode roughshod over
his brilliant opponent. The match
was disappointment to the thous-
ands who watched the annihilation of
Tilden. 1t was expected that the
national clay court champion would
at least put up bitter struggle
before succumbing to his first de-
feat of the season, and the pre-
yailing sentiment before the match
seemed to be that Tillien would
win.
Yet Murray appeared unbearable to-
day, never giving his tall opponent a
chance to start rally until the final
set. so vicious was his attacks and SO
merciless the pace he set from start
to finish. There are excuses to be
made in Tilden's behalf. although he
would make none himself, but even at
his best, II is doubtful whether Tillien
