Amateur Baseball
Wanes Among the
Juvenile Stars

If some one were to intimate to a
baseball fan that interest in that sport
is dying, the fan might think his in
formant crazy.
But there is evidence TO show that
baseball is on the wane-not in the
leagues-big and little-but among the
juvenile fraternity. The corner sand
lots where youngsters used to play the
game are fast disappearing. AS a re-
suit the children, especially those that
live in localities that have built up"
so to speak, are taking up new pas
times
The baseball world admits that the
future of the game depends on the
back-lot player If he disappears the
big game will suffer. Not so long
ago the major league clubs were asked
TO raise a fund to prevent this. The
money was to have been used to pro-
vide public ball parks for youthful
fans.
And now Spaldings, the big sport
mart, reports that the sale of base
ball equipment to youngsters has
fallen off 80 per cent within the last
few years. On the other hand, sale
Of golf balls, tennis rackets, and other
recreational material has doomed ire

A Larger Income

Than Last Year
President Willard Presides at
Stockholders Annual
Meeting

Baltimore, Md.-At the annual
meeting of the stockholders of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany, November 10Th, President
Daniel Willard presided. In addi~
ton to submitting the annual report
of last year, which was approved, Mr.
Willard reviewed the general situa-
ton with respect to the current year
and the outlook for the future.
He called attention to the audited
figures for the nine months to Sep
tember 3Oth, which show net income,
after charges, of $13,280,OOO, and
stated that based on the preliminary
figures for October, and with con-
tinuance of active business during
November and December, it was esti-
mated that the net income for the
wear, after charges, would approx
mate S2O,00O,000, about $4,000,O00 III
excess of thta earned in 1924. The
anticipated income for 1925 compares
with 22,400,000 earned in 1923, the
difference in net income between
these periods being more than ac-
counted for by the increased charges
incident to the $130,000,00O, refinanc-
ING and the additional obligations in
Cured incident to increase in invest
ment, and this Notwithstanding thu
total operating revenues in 1928 eX-
ceeded by S15,000,000, those estimat-
ed for the current wear.

lows: "What sort of hand did z have to
justify a four heart bid? If he had
wanted a heart lead, he probably would
have doubled. His four heart bid prob
ably consists of at least eight hearts
with four honors and very little side
strength. He also probably has a single
ton spade and bid four hearts in the
hope of shutting out spade bid. There
fore, my best play is to lead the ace of
spades and hope that Z can trump the
third round of spades. If Y had fol-
lowed this line of reasoning, he would
have set the contract one trick. He
failed to do so, however, and led
heart at trick two, which A trumped
A then led trumps and scored game and
rubber, losing only two spade tricks.
This is another hand that should be
carefully noted.

be easy but sometimes the easy ones

Hearts - X, Q, 9, 8, 4
Clubs A, 4
Diamonds : J, 7, 6, 2

No score, first game. Z dealt and bid
one heart, A and Y passed and B bid
one spade. Z and A passed and Y bid
two hearts. The final bid was four
spades due to the fact that Y raised the
heart bid twice more. He also doubled
four spades. What should L open? This
hand is similar to the first one in that Z
has bid suit and his partner Y has
doubled. Under the rule set down in the
analysis of that hand, Y certainly ex-
pected a heart lead by Z. Irrespective
of that fact, however, Z should have led
heart in the endeavor to set up a trick
in that suit before he lost his reentrv in
clubs. Instead of doing so, however, Z
opened the ace of clubs and then led
the four, hoping as he said, for ruff.
This lead gave ALB game that they
couldn't have scored if L had opened
the king of hearts. Note all three of
these hands very carefully for they are
typical hands and involve points that
come up in every session of play,

No score, rubber game. Z dealt and bid
four spades "a fine preemptive bid, by
the way). A doubled, Y passed and B
bid five hearts L and A now passed and
Y Ydoubled. When all passed, what should
L have opened? This hand offers an ex-
cellent example of the proper opening
lead after double. If player doubles
after his partner has made bid, he ex-
poets his partner to lead the suit he has
bid. If player has made a bid of his
own and later doubles, he expects his
partner to lead that suit. In this exam
pie hand, Z has bid four spades and his
partner, Y, has doubled FIVE hearts. I'm
der these conditions, Z should have
opened his ace of spades. This opening
would have set the contract one trick.
Y had singleton spade and doubled
with the expectation of spade open
ing. L, however, thought of none of
these very good reasons for a spade
opening. He opened the king of clubs
and ALB just made their bid and thus
scored game and rubber. This hand is
fine example SO study it over carefully.

itself hopelessly in debt through ex-

The vote by which the plan was
adopted was nearly five to one. The
plan had the hearty support Of citi-
zens generally. Only a minority Of
politicians opposed the movement.
The new system win become eff
fective April 10, 1926. However, a

adoption of the plan and some OF
it's provisions go into effect imme-
