TWO MORE RAIL BREAKS
DISCOVERED ON B. AND o.
One of Them Was in Newly Laid
Section Under Observation

Two rail breaks on the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, one at Deer Park,
and one at Weber, We're discovered
Saturday morning, less than a month
after the rail break at "88" bridge,
about two miles west of Oakland,
which caused the derailment of seven
coal cars and tied up traffic for a
number of hours.
The first break in the rail was caus-
ed, it was stated, by a transverse ifs
sure systematic flaw which mod
ern steel manufacturing methods have
not been able to eliminate. When one
of these flaws is discovered the en-
tire number of rails which came from
the same cheat" of steel at the mill
is watched closely.
Four miles of track in the vicinity
of Oakland were newly laid last sum-
mer, and after the break on Monday,
November II, which caused the de-
railment, the entire stretch was put
under close observation by the rail
way officials.
The break in the track at Deer Park
was reported and when trackmen
from Oakland were en- route to re-
pair the break they discovered the
one at Weber. The tracks at Weber
are included in the four-mile stretch,
but the break at Deer Park was in a
section laid some time ago.
At the time of the discovery of the
first break, H. r. Laughlin, general
superintendent of the Cumberland
division of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, stated that should another
break occur in the newly laid section
the entire cheat" of rails might be
removed.

Adam Conorosky, 24, stellar outhelder of the Pittsburgh Pirates, has a batting average of .34l, which is unusually brilliant when it is remembered that this is his first full season on the big circuit. The young Polish player, wnose iauitless fielding has done much to put his team in first place, has bat, ted in 52 runs so far and scored 50 himself. He has made 6. homes, 5 triples and l3 doubles. The home folks in his native town of Swoyersville, Pa, near .WillSes-Barre, are justly proud of him, and to prove it, they sent delegation of 300 to the last game in New York to pre- sent him with a gold watch on A>AAlf oi the town.

ST. PAUL, Aug. 19.-Mike Glb- bons, leading member of that once famous team of boxing brothers believes one of his protegeS is des- tined to win the welterweight championship.
 Mikes choice to win the title re- gently captured by Jackie Fields is My Sullivan whom Mike trained as an amateur.
 All My has to do to win the crown is to make up his mind says Gibbons. He's better than I ever was. He's game, can punch and has natural ability. All he needs to become champion is a realization of the opportunity fac ing him."
 Sullivan was barking fo4~ bout with Fields before the new champ hardly had ripped the tape off his hands after snatching the crowr from Joe Dundee. He is ready to back up his challenge with what ever forfeit kmoney is necessary.
 In his last fight here, Sullivan stopped Andy Divodi of New York in three rounds.
 Sullivan, who is 21, has been 3 professional three years. He has fought 40 money bouts, winning Is with a K. O. and losing only four by decision.
 He has not lost fight since early in 1923 when Jack Mccarthy out pointed him in Chicago.

Last night in the District
