for Whole 5-Month Period.

Special Dispatch to The Star
BALTIMORE, June 29.-Two of the
three Baltimore railroads. the Balti-
more and Ohio and the Western
Maryland, show gains in the reports
for May and the five-month period.
The Baltimore and Ohio reported a
gain in railway operating revenues
FOR the month of $1,571, U79 and of
IS, 1888 for the period. Operating
expenses showed a comparative gain
of $751.633 for May, and $2,427,4
for the five months. Net railway in
come, after adjustments. was $S76 ,4l3
greater in May than in the CORE
spending month in 1925. For five
months the company reported gain
OF 50, l62 ,622 in net railway operating
income after adjustments.
This is the best showing the system
ever made for any corresponding
period. Operating revenues of the
Western Railway for May were $751;
71S ahead of May, 1925, while for the
five-month period the comparative in
crease was $1,044,70S. Operating ex-
penSeS required $102,374 more in May

May was $100,620, or more than 100
per cent, and for the ve-month period
1891 ,06l. The result for May and
the five months was by far better
than in any corresponding period in
the history of the system

NEW YORK. February 24.-Charley

has lifted the worlds indoor pole-vault
record to IS feet AZ inches at the ex-
pense Of a turned ankle. which is not
likely to keep him out of competition.
Hon suffered the injury when his
left foot went through the boards as
he was about to take off in his first
attempt at a record fight In the New
York A. c. games at Madison Square
Garden last night. This accident
caused him to volplane into the sand
pit.
Then he made his record, clearing
the cross piece by at least 3 inches.
His closest rival, Bradley of Prince
ton and Durfee of Yale, tied for sec
ond place at IL feet.
Willie Ritola spread-eagled his field
in a two-mile run. although conceding
generous handicaps, but the Finnish
American star fell far short of the
worlds record Of 1858 1-5, set by Paavo
Nurmi at the New York A. G. games
a year ago. Ritola Tapped all of his
opponents and was clicked in 9:12 As
as he finished 200 yards ahead Of his
nearest rival.
Alan Heinrich, crack middle distance
runner of the New York Athletic Club
and winner OF the event last year, was
beaten by Ray Robertson of the Bos-
ton Athletic Association In a thrilling
finish in the 500-yard special for the
Buermeyer trophy. The time was
so 2-5 seconds.

Schemes for giving sight to blind
holes will not overcome the first OBJ
lection. but will cure the others.
Larger clubs are remaking such
holes. but other alterations are pos
sible.
The most picturesque plan has been
made use of by the Victoria Country
Club in the capital Of British Column
bta The 9th hole of this links. which
Hes partly among rugged rocks on the
seashore, has its tee on some Crags.
The green is cut off from view by
ridge of granite and one day golfer
let fly tee shot on this 200-yard hole
without ascertaining whether the
players ahead had holed out. The ball
hit a man. Then players became wary
and waited longer than necessary TO
tee off
Finally a member presented large
scboolhouse bell, handsomely EN-
bossed. and had II installed at the
edge of the green. When players have
finished putting they sound this toe
sin Is they start for the 14th tee and
those following know that the way ts
clear.
Another scheme is employed by the
Moosejay Country Club in the broken
club built lookout platform at the
tee of a blind hole and the players
may send a caddy up the winding
stairs of this tower to see that the
nav Is open and to watch the flight
and roll of the balls.
More romantic and Just as effective.
and requiring less effort, is the appa-
ratus used by the Calgary Country
club in Alberta. This Is really a pair
~ spectacles, for the members have
erected a large periscope at the left
of the tee. The player may look INTO the
ta.,ono mirror and see that the green
IA vacant. Then he may place his
saddv or opponent at the glass to
watch the fight and final resting
place of his ball.
The shaft of the periscope is some
15 feet high. but as it is built OF plain
boards lined with tar paper: the cost
"a low. The arrangement Of mirrors
,,,aces the green in plain view al

is to get the third base position work
ing smoothly.
At Fort Myers the Athletics will turn
out in the morning and turn In at
night hoping that Joe Hauser comes
around for first base. If Joe starts he
will inspire the "A s."
The Giants, at Sarasota, are in the
rebuild stage. There's lot to be done
differently with that team, or, to put
it another way, there's q lot who will
have 70 do differently. Kelly at first Is
a fixture, and that's about that.
PhiIIies Thawing Out.
The Phillies, at Bradenton, who
have been making the assault on
Mount Everest with frozen feet and
arms. are variously getting thawed
and better, although they are not
claiming they will win any pennant.
The Boston Braves. at St. Peters
burg, are like a young peach tree
about to bud. They have possibilities
of throwing out pink blossoms all over
Beanburg.
The Washingtons. at Tampa are the
hod-carriers. They simply need work

ball this early, and they want infield

The Brooklyns are working on the

And, better still, the BrooklanderS
face the next two years with practt-
cally an unchanged quint. The men
who are doing the best work now are
sophomores, and any basket ball team
go capable should within another two
years develop into an almost unbeat-
able combination.
Georgetown's relay team beat Holy
Cross last night in New York, while
Maryland finished ahead of Yale, but
was nosed out by Pennsylvania in a
finish in which blanket would have
covered the three teams. McLain of
Georgetown got OFF to q good start
and took the pole, and that was just
about the margin by which Burgess
finished ahead of Mulvihill, anchor
man for Holy Cross. Swinburne ran
the fastest quarter for Georgetown,
doing his distance in exactly so sec
onds. which was going exceptionally
fast anywhere, and especially SO on
what was practically a three-lap track.
Matthews started IS yards behind in
the third relay for Maryland, appar
emily almost hopelessly outclassed,
but he picked up about 10 yards and
| sent Endslow off approximately Is
yards behind. Endslow made q great
effort and passed Norton Of Yale q
few yards from the tape, but could
not quite reach the Penn runner.
