HUBBARD AGAIN
 EQUALS RECORD
Michisan's Negro Sprintsr
 Speeds in 50 Yard Dash

Detroit, Mich. April S.--For the second time within two weeks, De- hart Hubbard, negro sprinter of the University of Michigan and Olympic running broad jump champion, equal led a worlds indoor record when he ran the 50-yard dash at the Michigan A. A. |. relay carnival last night in I51-5 seconds. On March 2S last in the Michigan Cornell dual meet at Ann Arbor, Hubbard equalled the worlds sixty yard dash record.
 A new worlds record was set in the 50-yard high hurdles by Ivan Riley of the Illinois Athletic Club. His time, 6 5-10 seconds, was said by Michigan A. A. l., officials to have been one half second faster than the best previous time on an indoor dirt track for this event, in which there were four hurdles. The record, how over, will not be allowed until a com plete check can be made. Ordinarily only three hurdles arc used in this event.
 Paavo Nurmi and Willie Ritola won the 5000 meter and the 5000 meter events, respectively, in slow time, Ritola tapping his field fout times. Nurmi. with keener competi. ton, afforded by Egi Gr2gh, l. A. C. and Jimmy Connolly, Washington was content to win by half a. laI over Krogh, Connolly finishing thirt after leading half .the distance.
 The failure of James Brooker, Mi chigan, to win the pole vault was th' surprise of the meet. Paul Jones, A. C., won the event by going owe the bar at 12 feet, 3 inches. On tn first night of the carnival, lone was beaten by Brookers teammate Northrup, who vaulted 12 feet si inches.
 The spectacle of Jackson V. Schol New York, trailing three Michiga men to the tape in the 5o-yard das was another surprise. Hubbard wa followed by Whitman and Hester 1 that order. Scholz was the winne of the 20o-meter race at the Olympi games last year.
 Joie Ray clung close to Lloy Hahn of the Boston A. A. in t'l three quarter mile special but WE unequal to Hahn's final sprint an
 was beaten ten yards.

New York. April s.--With the pos- siblity of Lefty Groves, highly touted southpaw of the Athletics, 1t is doubtful if any major league hur- Ter will attract th+ attention that IS certain to come the way of Ncan Gregg. -year-old portsider with Washington. during the 1925 season.
 Gregg's efforts to stage real comeback will be watched closely. There is no question on that point. For the one time star of the CleNe- land Indians and Boston Red SoX is out to do what he was considered unable to accomplish a half dozen years ago--hurl winning ball in the big time.
 Gregg has had an iIlustrions career in baseball. He made his major league debut with Cleveland back in 1911 For thte years he remained with the Indians, pitching great ball for the most part Then he went to the Red SoX where he cavorted fol a couple of campaigns
 The year 1916 found him witt Buffalo in the International league and the following season he wal with Providence. Upon returning tt
 Boston late in 1917. he figured il
 one of the big trades of those days
 going to the Athletics along witi
 Kopp and Thomas and SGo.o00 fo
 Bush. Schang and Strnnk.
 After the 1918 season in Fhila
 delphia, Gregg, figuring he Va
 about through retired. Not loni
 after he changed his mind, however and caught on with Seattle in th
 Pacific Coast league. And there h ! has been for the last several y"ar' , scoring great run of succcssHs, Gregg is reported 10 have cost th Washington club s35,ooo in col cash.
 Just what the veteran will accon plish in his comeback attempt :, mathematical of course. He ma ! deliver and then again he may fir | the going a bit toe tough. His [" . forts will be watched closely al ar Q rate.

 The <. R-S. W. Game
 The Rule Shop-StanIoy Works game was an exhibition of some very loose ball playing for the most part although at times both teams Speed- ed un and gave the few faus' pres eut an opportunity 10 sit up and take notice. Johnny SlGora at lett forward vas the scoring ace of the Rule Shoppers, tossing m five field goals for 10 points, Les Noodford' center, with three. was his closest conratitor. Al Schade, who got threaEfrom the floor, was the best roint getter for the losers although Henry Zchrcr, at right guard got away for two from the floor and two from the free throw line. AS a mat ter of fact, Hehrpr and Schade were the only two Stanley Workers to score from the floor. Captain Jack Pelletier was held absolutely score less as was Johnny Schroeder while 1.aHsrs best was four foul shots 1T six tries. In the last half Schade'' two field goals and foul and two fouls by LaHar was the best the Workers could do. This does no mean that the boys were so closet! guarded they could do nothing, II fart thcv honhardod the basket ire ouentlv, hut that was the extent 0 their efforts-just bomharding it.
 Jimmy Murphy played an excel lent game for the Rule Shop and ii addition to holding the fast step ping LaHar scoreless, he tossed in beautiful long range basket.

 The Corbin.R. F.. Game
 Although the P. X r. Corbin team defeated Russell x Erwin 29 to 20, | they knew they had been in game and the had to work as hard to win this game as any thas season. In the first half the R. X F. boys play ed the Corbins off their feet and left ! the floor leading II to 2. In the second half however, while the l., | {l r.. boys continued their fine play ptho Corbin tea got its second wind, rallied into S@e better teamwork and finally nosed out, chiefly through the floor shooting of Shultz. In the first half Jasper with one and Paris with two field goals was the best Corbin did while Goodrich for Rus sell and Erwin and Morelli got three and one respectively. In the second half Schultz tossed in three, Jasper
 one. Hoist two and Paris one while
 Whitcman got two and Morelli one,
 The individual star of the game
 was easily Goodrich, who earned fol
 himself the title of "The Berlir
 Flash" Goodrich easily played the
 best game of his industrial league
 career last night. In the first hal'
 his shooting was deadly, his flool work dazzling and his speed sucf that he had his guards running rag | ged. In the second half his worE , was just as fast and tiashy, eXcep
 that his shooting was not as accur , ate. It was the great offensive , work of Goodrich, backed np b. , the ever aggressive Morelli, and tn great defensive work of CaptaI e Saxe that kept the Russwin team i , the running and gave the Corbin S the scare of their league lives, O In the late half Hoist went out o Q personal fouls and George Sisle t TIallin. who relieved him, played V nice game.

CENTURY ANNIVERSARY
History of First Railway Is Dis
cussed BY Former Governor
COrnweN Of West Virginia

/. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
will celebl ate its hundredth anniver-
sary February 27, 1927, when some of
the equipment that traversed its lines
century ago will be shown in all the
cities along the railroads route, for
mer Governor John J. Cornwall, of
West Virginia, now chief counsel for
the railroad, said in an address be
fore the Charleston Rotary, in which
he described the humble beginning of
the company now operating the third
largest railroad in America.
Governor Cornwall, to give an idea
of the magnitude of the company, ex-
planned that it had an investment of
three-quarters of billion dollars. 1t
gives employment to between 10000
and 10000 people and hauled 10000
cars in single day recently. He said
that he gave those facts to drive
home just what factor the Balti-
more and Ohio is in our national life.
Like all great things it had hum
Bile beginning, and early in 1927 it
will celebrate its hundredth anniver-
sary," he said. at was granted its
charter by the State of Maryland on
February 81, 1927. A group of mer-
chants in Baltimore feared that their
business would suffer because of the
building of the Erie canal, which
would divert much of their trade to
New York and Philadelphia. Accord
ingly they planned to build railroad
to the then known west-Ohio. The
legislature granted these men q char
ter and the Baltimore and Ohio is the
only railroad operating under its orig
inal charter.
"The first stone in the building was
turned July /, 1928, as more than a
year was consumed in financing the
enterprise, planning surveys and
other preliminary work. But the turn
ing of the first stone was made a
great occasion with Charles Carroll
Of Carrollton, the only survivor of the
signers of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence, officiating. He was then so
years old. He said what he was doing
on that occasion was probably the
most important act of his life-or
second only to the signing of the Dec
laration of independence.

Hampshire county every weekend if
I wished. But you know how that is,
and l have not been able to return as
often as I wished. My eyesight is be-
coming impaired and | can't fish and
hunt in that country as l used to do,
but even though my sight is becoming
dimmed l love the hills of West Vir-
ginia and the rivers and streams of
Hampshire all the more. l have
some compensation in my work in
that it brings me into some transac-
tion with West Virginians. My heart
is ever with you and the ties of affec-
ton knotted when you gave me such
a generous support without regard
to politics, during the days l was
with you, will ever remain pleasant
memories. And as l go down that
western slope towards that eternal
sunset, which is drawing ever nearer
for me, those memories become dear
er to me and l will always keep the
recollections of your many kindnesses
close in my heart"
In introducing the speaker Cover
nor Gore said that West Virginia had
been indeed fortunate in the war
days in having a governor who could
rise above partisanship and so act
that the people of West Virginia mad
locked him in their hearts and thrown
the key away.
Great companies always watch
for great men and they know there
must be a secret to the success Of the
West Virginian's administration dur
ing the stormy days in this state.
They investigated his service and
found that he was just the man to fit
into an important position with their
company. Accordingly at the con-
clusion Of his term he went with one
Of our greatest transportation sys-
TENS, the old Baltimore and Ohio
railroad. And he had scarcely as
sumed office with it before he could
see a change in the smile of the con-
ductor and he knew Governor John J.
Cornwell knew the reason for it.
"The Baltimore and Ohio railroad
was the only railroad l knew in my
boyhood days. Well l remember a
certain occasion when it disappointed
my father and l in the matter of
transportation for some live stock on
our farm. AS usual | was the more
bumptious and made some hot re-
marks about the railroad. Then my
father told me few things about the
old B. & o. He said that 105 miles
of single track between Parkersburg
and Grafton had 27 tunnels, and per
haps afforded more railroading diff
culties than any other piece of track
of the length in the world. He said
that the railroad truly had disap-
pointed US that day, but that since it
had been operating that section back
in 1858 it had carried our ancestors
over the division daily-and it had
always been mindful of its greatest
duty to the public, the safety of our
loved ones-and it had never killed
passenger on that division since It's
inception.

You have all heard Of that first
race on the Baltimore and Ohio tracks
between a steam engine and a horse
which was won by the horse draw
ing vehicle on other tracks. But de-
spite this defeat the hackers of the
road were convinced of the practical
bility Of steam engines and they offer
ed prize of $1,000 for the engineer
who would build the first practical en-
Glne. This reward was won by Phineas
Davis, of York, Pa, with his 'Atlan-
tic, the engine which is now the bus
lest engine on the Baltimore and Ohio.
1t has to be sent to towns all over the
country, and it and other pieces Of
that original equipment will be sent
all around the railroads route during
the centenniel celebration in 1927.

Virginia between Oakland and Terra

Alleghanies, but in 1852 it reached
Grafton and it took it only a month
