DEFENSE BEGINS
ITS ARGUMENT
Expects to Spend Ten Hours in At
tempt TO Exonerate Men Accused
of Baseball Conspiracy.

Chicago, Aug l.--Attorneys for the
defense in the baseball trial to-day
opened ten hours of argument in an
effort to convince the jury that there
was no conspiracy between former
White Sox players and alleged gam
blers to throw the 1919 worlds series
10 Cincinnati.
Henry Berger, representing Carl Fork
of st. Louis, opened for the defense
which probably win complete its case
late to-day or tomorrow, after which
the state will close in about two hours.
the case going TO the jury late Tues.
day or early Wednesday.
Judge Friend has stated that he will
not sustain verdict of guilty against
Fork and Mr.. Berger's argument dealt
for the most part with technicalities
Of the conspiracy laws.
OF the IL defendants originally on
trial, Ben and Louis Levy, alleged gam.
blers, have been discharged and Judge
Friend announced that he would direct
verdicts OF not guilty for players Felsch

Abandoned Railroad Lines.

With the announcement that the
Boston & Maine had received per
mission from the interstate commerce
commission to discontinue two branches
in New Hampshire speculation has risen
as to whether the competition Of the
motor truck and automobile rs likely 70
lead TO the abandonment OF more un-
profitable branch lines.
The New Hampshire situation is not
significant. A line 10 miles long from
Bethlehem junction to Profile House
operation of which last year cost ST.
a40 and yielded a revenue OF Sl1l3, is
to be abandoned, and with it another
summer resort branch 3 IL miles long,
which has averaged three passengers to
a train. Profile House is reached from
the south by an automobile stage
from North Woodstock, operated IN
conjunction with the railroad, and the
line that is to 60 out of business
penetrated TO Profile House from the
north Apparently the bulk of the
travel has been from the South, as
il is said that an average Of only two
passengers a day has been carried on
the trains. The railroad line has not
been open in winter and has carried
little freight.
Discontinue of a branch of this
type. serving a summer resort, bears
no relatino TO branches which are
operated the year round, and which
have industries or commercial towns to
serve. Even if branch is unprofit
able in itself, it may produce desirable
business for railroad system. There
is no prospect of general movement
on the part of railroads TO abandon
branches which are an economic neces
sity to any New England community.
