Their $S,0O0,0O0,OO0 Properties Will Be Con= ]. verted Into Four Great
 Major Systems

New York, Sept 24.-(UP)-The directing heads of four railroad systems have agreed after 12 years on a plan for consolidating their $S,000, 100000 properties into four major systems.
 The agreement, reached late yesterday, was based on the inter- state commerce commissions four, system consolidation plan an- nounced last July.
 Ut does not include the New England lines except the Boston and Albany railroad, and therefore that question was not considered" the announcement of the agree ment said.
 All other major differences which might interfere with success full completion of the consolida- tion were ironed out. it was indi- cated.
 As result the way is cleared for establishment of the New York Central, Pennsylvania. Chesapeake & Ohio, and Baltimore & Ohio as the four major eastern lines. They were given a minimum of three years in which to acquire shorter lines and otherwise consolidate their systems under the I. c. C.. plan.
 The four lines will be evenly balanced as to assets, mileage and outlets to the Great Lakes and the Atlantic. They will be enabled to operate more economically, and their successful operation under such a plan will speed such pro- posed mergers as that of the Northern Pacific and Canadian Pa cific in the northwest. The four systems in, brief will in- clude:
 New York Central; D. l.. and w.. (except Oswego), Rutland, parts of Lehigh of N. E., Montour, P. and West Va; mileage. 1900; assets $1,950, 900, 1000.

MAKING STREET
 | CAR SCHEDULES
Ever Changing Needs in Conn Require Con-
 Stant Checking
EXTRA RUSH RUNS

Compilation of street car sched- ules for Connecticut cities is an art which has required long study on the part of the operating de- partment of The Connecticut Con- pany, and is moreover, a never ending task since the schedules must be revised periodically to meet the ever changing needs of traffic. Summer requirements dif- fer largely from those of the win ter months, and holiday and Sum- day traffic is entirely different from week day passenger move ment.
 Street car schedules are based chiefly on past experience, but also involve the use of a considerable amount of foresight. Sufficient time must be allotted between schedule points to allow for the numerous traffic delays .to which street cars are subject, and to all low for the necessary stopping and starting to take on and leave off passengers. But no matter how much foresight is used in laying out the schedules, delays entirely | impossible to anticipate are bound | to develop.
 In devising its schedules, the company strives to furnish maxi mum service to all it's passengers. and when cars do not arrive at the expected minute it may be safely assumed that some delay beyond the company's control has oc- cured. Periodic checks of the number of passengers on all lines are made and when these checks show that more cars are needed on one line and less on another the change is made. In addition to its regular schedules, the com pany must also arrange extra car runs to accommodate rush hour traffic, and these schedules are al so mathem, .:cally based.

WIN Of HANAS
UNPOPULAR

PHILADELPHIA May IL.
Young Steve Hamas, Passaic
IN. j. heavyweight, boosted an
unpopular decision over the vet
eran, Tommy Loughran, of Phila-
delphia today. He added the de-
cision victory here last night in
ten rounds as an anti-climax to
his knockout triumph over
Tommy in New York last Janu-
airy.
Nearly $4,000 fans broke into
an uproar of booing, hooting
and kissing when the decision
was announced, although Hamas,
a former Penn State athlete, had
been the favorite before the fight
began.
Some newspaper men at the
ringSide disagreed with the de-
cision, giving Loughran five
rounds, Hamas three rounds, and
calling the last two even.
The last round was a thriller,
with both pounding for a knock
out.
Hamas was staggering around
the ring, half blinded. A minute
before the final bell he uncorked
a right to Loughran's jaw which
made Loughran's knees buckle.
He recovered, however, and they
were swapping punches when the
fight ended.

CHICAGO, May 12.-Hunting a
remedy for the financial ills that
have beset the minor leagues of
baseball, American Association
Club owners met here in special
session today.
President Thomas J. Hickey
summoned the meeting of owners
to consider many suggestions per-
tanning to decreased attendance
and the 81 games postponed be-
cause of cold and rainy weather.
Of the proposals advanced thus
far those considered most seri-
ously are to raise the admission
price, play double headers twice a
week, Wednesday and Sunday, re-
duce players salaries and bar the
radio from all parks.
Other suggestions under discus
sion were to abolish ladies days
and charge women IS cents for
all games, trim the player limit
from 20 to Is, reduce the salaries
of umpires and start the 1888 sea-
son two weeks later than usual.
Something radical is neces-
Sary," said President Hickey.

He was considered an Olympic

BALL SERIES
!. FOLLOWS
VIEWS
BY GINO SINH

Montgomery county high school
officials, led by Edwin w. Broome
county school superintendent, are
fully aware of the benefits to be
derived from athletic activities by
the school children, and are plan
ming to take every advantage OF
them.
The current county baseball
series, delayed by the rainy
weather of the last few days, is in
keeping with these views.
Eve stress physical education
and craftsmanship in our ath-
letics," Mr.. BrOOme states, "but
we do not discourage the nat
ural rivalry which exists be-
tween rival factions. We fully
realize not only the physical
and social benefits Of properly
conducted sports, but also their
effects in building strong char
acters."
Two Sports ESLaDllSneu
Soccer and basketball are al.
ready well established and popu'
lar among the county high
schools, and the officials are now
turning their attention to putting
baseball over, and their efforts
are meeting with considerable
success.
The red-blooded youngsters OF
the county are responding en-
Enthusiastically, showing the same
interest in baseball as by boys
everywhere. Six of the seven
county schools have entered teams
in the series and all appear
evenly matched.
The series will decide the coun'
ty championship team which will
participate in the forthcoming
Maryland State championship
tournament, in which all coun.
ties will be represented.
Rain Delays Tourney
The series was to have started
Tuesday, but rain which con-
tinued yesterday, has forced a
postponement of the first round
until the weather permits.
GaitherSburg High is sched-
uled to meet Sherwood, at Sandy
Spring, in one Of the first round
matches; Damascus and PooleS-
vile tangle in another at Cath
ersburg, and Rockville and Be-
thesda- Chevy Chase in the third
clash, at Rockville.
The series will be played on
an elimination plan. with the
final listed at Rockville as soon
after the opening round as pos
Sible.
Rate Rockville FavOrite
While no accurate line can be
drawn on the strength of the
various teams in the series, Rock
vile High has always had a
powerful turnout in all athletics,
and has gone in for baseball dur
ing past seasons with varying
success. Because of this, it is
rated as a slight favorite. How.
ever, Bethesda Chevy Chase comes
from a hot-bed of baseball play
erS and may surprise.
