RAILWAYS MUST
REDUCE COSTS
Smith of New York Central Testi-
fes-To Rsadjust Rates

Washington, May 21.-American
railroads must get their costs down
and must mot be tied up so tight
if they are to be placed on profit
able basis, President A. H. Smith of
the New York Central testified to.
day before the senate interstate com
merce committee, which is investisa-
ting the transportation situation.
Labor costs, fuel costs, tax costs
should be reduced,". said, while
the interstate commerce commission
should give the roads more rope
In reply to a question Of Chair
man Cummins directed at his state
ment concerning the supervision of
the interstate commerce commission,
| Mr.. Smith said regulation had tend
ed to go too far. We have to come
down here mad have long hearings
before we can do anything, except
run the properties the way they are,'
he said. ...
"Rates have got to be adjusted"
he continued, because we have
listed all of these rates by percent
ages for tie last three years or more
and any one knows that if you take
rs per cent. Of Is cents and rs per.
cent of 120 cents you jack them all
up the same, you are going to tip
over after a while. Therefore, we
have got to 60 back and saientifical-
: ly or properly, at any event, read
just these rates."
Mr.. Smith whose testimony will
be continued when the committee
meets again Monday analyzed repair
/ shop costs on his road, showing
, great increases in expenditures and
lessening Of output, which, he said,
dated back to the abol1tIon OF piece
work during government control of
the roads. Reducing output was
"human nature when men found
they were being paid for putting in
time and not for results" he ex-
planned.
~ am not running my repair
shops now because we haven't got
the money to fill the pay car to pay
the men," he exclaimed in discussing
present conditions, but he expressed
the opinion that business will come
back and we ought to be getting
ready for winter now"

MARANV|LLE NEAR TOP
OF BIG LEAGUE BATTERS
Jumped From Tenth to Second
Place; Babe Ruth Still
Leads in Home Runs.
BY Associated Pres. to Every Evening

Chicago. May 21.--"Rabbit' Maran-
vile, OF Pittsburg. was on a batting
rampage during the past week and went
from tenth place TO second, next to
Roger Hornsby, the st. Louis star, who
is still topping the National League
regulars in batting despite the fact
that he ran into a slump. Maranville's s
average is .36s, compared with $50 last
week, while the champion of last year
dropped from All to .457. The averages
include games of last Wednesday.
George Kelly, of the Giants, who is
competing with Babe Ruth" of the
Yankees, in the major league race for
home run honors, hit only one four ply
blow which brought his total to eight
while the American League champion
has an even dozen.
Bohne, of Cincinnati stole another
base during the week and leads the
base stealers with eight thefts.
A number of surprises are in store for
the American League batters in the
next few days. Tyrus Cobb, pilot of the
Tigers. is back at his old tricks with
the willow. and promises to make things
interesting for one of his outfielders,
Harry Holman, who is leading the
league with an average of asa. Cobbs
mark is .395. George Sisler, the st.
Louis star, is coming along fast and
has moved from 37th to fourth place in
the past two weeks. His average now
is $50. one point behind Stephenson, of
the Cleveland Indians.
Babe Ruth had a fair good week,
bagging three homers. Harris added a
brace of bases to his stolen base record
and is showing the way with eight.

BETS HARD LuCk PITCHER.
Millsboro Product Has Played Against
Fate All Season.

Belts, the Millsboro pitcher, with the
Philadelphia Nationals. is hard-Iuck
pitcher. The close of last season he
was used as relief twirler and he has
been working in the same capacity this
season. Several weeks ago he was
struck by batted ball and was out of
the game for several days.
According to one of the Philadelphia
sport writer's, Belts is down in the box
score summaries as the losing pitcher
for Thursdays game this week. In
reality, he did not allow anything ike
a hit in the two innings he was on the
scene.
He lost the game on a two-base mum
and sacrifices by land and air, the last
ter short fly which might well have
resulted in a putout at the plate. Just
before the short fiy. he struck put no
less than Rogers Hornsby, with the
winning run at third base.
The irony of it all was that he was
the winning" pitcher on the day before
and on that day sHornsby Tipped one OF
his slow curves into the left field
bleachers for a home run. Fortunately.
the bases We're bare that day and Irish
Meusel was present with a winning
home run OF his own. with a couple OF
bases crowded.
