RAILROAD REV :NUES
28.3 PER CENT LOWER
Reports for Seven Months This
Year Show Drop in Glass One
Carrier Profits.

By the Associated Press
Total operating revenues Of railroads
during the seven months this year were
cut by 2S3 per cent from last years
corresponding period. while operating
expenses were dropping 26.3 per cent
and taxes s.5 per cent. These figures
apply to class / carriers.
One Of the obstacles hindering rail-
road recovery. as pictured by Z. G.
Buckland, president Of the Railroad
Credit Corporation. Is the lack Of
equality Of opportunity to compete on
fair and just basis with motor and
waterway transportation which is now
unregulated 50 far as interstate COM
merce Is concerned"
Among the restrictions which affect
the railroads, but which do not affect
their competitors on the highways and
by water, Mr.. Buckland said, are those
pertaining to the inflexibility of rates,
fares and charges made by the rail
carriers.
THE railroads should be free to meet
this competition either by having these
restrictions removed or having like re-
strictions placed upon their competi-
tors" he declared.

By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, October 3-Miscel-
laneous demand for steel products has
accounted for further gain in ingot
production during the week to approx
mately l7le per cent of capacity. ac-
cording to trade estimates. Demand
from the heavier consuming industries
is still restricted, although there is said
to be some expectations for better buy
ing from railroads for car repairs, owing
to loans made or pending from the Re-
construction Finance Corporation. Ac-
tivity of automobile manufacturers on
new models Is smaller than the trade
anticipated and public construction
projects. while developing, have not
been reflected in orders. Prices for the
fourth quarter are unchanged from the
previous quarter Pig iron was some
what quieter, but steady.
Aside from sale Of 1000 tons to
large electrical manufacturer, demand
for copper from other consumers has
been restricted to small lots. First

Of buying interest and reports Of small

A sliced ball is one that curves TO
the right and is caused by the club
head being drawn across the ball
from right to left, imparting left to

A sliced ball can be caused by faulty

If the left hand is too far under the
shaft, when it rights itself in the
swing it drags the clubface across the
ball.
Playing the ball at point where

An open stance tends to make one

Return of '1Wo-Bit' Baseball
Voted at Meeting of Asso-

Chicago, May 13.-tP)-That inter-
city rivalary between Minneapolis and
st. Paul, which in the past has coaXed
out the fans when nothing else would,
was due for its first 1882 test Friday.
The MillerS, tied with Kansas City
for second place, were scheduled to
open at st. Paul, winner of the Amer
lean Association championship last
year, but now in last place. Regard
less of the comparative positions of
the clubs, the intercity series has been
money-maker, and the Saint and
Miller club-owners were hoping this
year would be no exception.
A return to 25-cent baseball was
voted at a special meeting of the
league Thursday in an effort to slim
ulate attendance. Effective June /,
25-cent bleacher seats will be offered.
In addition, women and boys under
IL years, will be admitted for two
bits" every day except Sundays and
holidays.
Along with the st. Paul Minneap-
oils opening, Kansas City was at Mil
waukee. indianapolis will open at
Louisville Saturday, with Toledo at
Columbus.
indianapolis increased its league
lead Thursday by defeating Minneap-
oils, 10 to 5, while Kansas City was
taking 6 to beating from Column
bus. With Frank Sigafoos and Cur
It's Walker blasting out two home runs
apiece, the Indians thumped Jimmy
Brillheart and Rosy Ryan for 10 hits
The Millers made Is off Campbell and
Heving, but failed to get anything
like as much distance or concentra-
ton.
After losing the first game of a
doubleheader to Toledo, 5 to 2, Mil
waukee won the second in to
pitching battle. Columbus used four
hits and pair of Kansas City errors
to score five runs in the third and
finished with 6 to 3 victory. Pau!
Dean was yanked after webbing III
the fourth and Carmen Hill finished
and received credit for the victory.
st. Paul won its first series of the
season by defeating Louisville, 9 to 8,
