BY AN HONEST LAD
9-Year-Old Boy Reports
Find to Police and
Is Rewarded

Richard Ankeney, aged 9, is an
honest boy. Walking along West

and reported his find. A short
while later, John Lucas was also
on his way to the station house
to report his loss. The pocket

finder. Richard was rewarded
for his honesty. The lad lives at

FREIGHT INCREASE
Machinery, Lumber, Coal
and Foodstuffs Boost
Tonnage

All railroads touching Hagers-
town report a sharp increase in
freight tonnage for the month,
compared to the same period in
1886. Day and night, heavy
freight trains loaded principally
with machinery are steadily NOV
ing toward the ports for export.
Business for the month Of Sep
TENDER far exceeds that Of Au-
gust, it was stated by railroad
official The total increase over
last month may reach so per
cent, he said.
Not only machinery. but coal
from the mines of this and near
by states are keeping the roads
busy. Over the Western Mary
land alone, 1000 more cars of
coal have been moved this month
than were reported during Au-
gust. Lumber and foodstuffs are
likewise being transported in
large quantities. Entire trains
of refrigerator cars are moving
through the city daily.
Clerical forces of the three
roads are being kept busy as a
result of the freight increase.

HITTING PRACTICE
Vet Still Suffering From
Grip-Linke's Drive in
Tenth Beats Bees.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN.

4 L SIMMONS, still weak from
n an attack of grip, is to be
~ rushed back into the Nationals
4 a lineup so as to be in some
semblance of shape for the opening
American League game on Monday
against the Athletics. AL has not
seen much pitching this Spring, but
as bell time nears it becomes increas-
ingly obvious that his presence is
necessary despite the probability that
he may not be in the best Of shape.
In the last two days the Washington
frm has discovered that right
handed hitter of Simmons type is a
cog that is badly needed Against
minor league opposition the Mats got
by fairly well without Simmons but
once big league club crossed the
Griffs' path-and the Bees have been
doing it lately-Manager Bucky Har-
ris has been moaning over his hitting.
Danny MacFayden of the Bees linn
tied the Harrismen to three runs and
eight hits the other day in Gastonia,
and yesterday, as the Griffs made
their local debut, pair Of Boston
rockies held them to four scattered
hits. It was only due to a dramatic
tenth-inning double by Pitcher Eddie
Linke that Washington won, to l.,
and thereby evened the series with
the Bees. incidentally, the rivalry
was to end today at Griffith Stadium.

the frame and then stole second while
Sington was at bat. Fred popped up,
but Stone cracked a single over sec

Linke took up the Washington
pitching in the eighth inning and did
a grand job Then in the tenth the
Grif1s rallied to score the winning
run, although it took an error by
Garms to start it.

MUST INTERPRET
THREE CONTRACTS
Court Refuses to Consider
Announced Boycott of
Schme|ing, Champ.
BY the Associated Press,

n 7 EwARK, N. j., April 15.-
nj Madison Square Gardens
v chances of stopping Jim
Braddock from tangling with
Joe Louis in June hinged today on
Federal Court Interpretation of a
mixed-up contrsctural mess.
Hottest argument of the Graden's
day in court yesterday, in which it
sought to prevent the title holders
bout with Louis in Chicago June ~,
revolved around three contracts be-
tween it and Braddock, dating back
to the fight in which Braddock won
the crown from Make Baer two years
ago.
In chronological order, these con-
tracts were:
l. April 10, 1895, signed by Brad
dock to meet Baer for the champion
ship. Braddock agreed that, if he
won, his first title defense would be
for the Garden, before September 80,
1886.
2. The contract for the original
Braddock-Max Schmeling fight last
Summer, which failed to come of
when the champion developed arth-
ritis IN his hand and the New York
Athletic Commission ordered post
ponement.
3, The contract Of last December
for 3 Notwithstanding fight In
New York this June 3. It stated that
Braddock shall not tight Louis until
after June 3, 1887"

Hasn't Seen Much Action.

F ONLY for a part of the game to-
day, Simmons was slated to play.
He was in the club house yesterday,
but Harris ordered him to remain in
street clothes. Il want the big fellow
to get back in the game as soon as
possible" said Bucky but I don
want to work him to death while he's
still weak. He probably will play only
part of the game today and even to-
morrow. I chiefly want Simmons to
look at some pitching before the cur
tain goes up. 1 don't think he's seen
much pitching this Spring, and that's
bad for hitter like him"
Simmons, in truth, has not seen
much pitching in formal competition
this year. Before he was sold to the
Washingtons he was shunted to the
background at Lakeland, training
camp of the Tigers. Mickey Coch-
rane had q flock of outfielders and
was anxious to get a line on some of
the younger talent, knowing what
Simmons could do. As q result Chet
Laabs, Jo-Jo White, Gee Walker and
the rest were allowed to see more
action than Simmons.
When he pulled on a Washington
uniform AL was assured of steady
action under normal circumstances,
but when the club hit Chattanooga he
was taken i'll and sent home AS a
result he has missed the last four
games.
How much the layof will affect the
big slugger remains to be seen, but one
thing is certain, and that is Washing
tons need for right handed hitting
power. This item was provided yester-
day by Linke, slugger in his own
right, but Eddie happens to be a
pitcher, and he cannot work every day.

Bees Rockies Are Tough.

FREDDY SINGTON has done a
good job of substituting for Sim
mons during big AIS illness. In fact,
Fred has been hitting better than ever
before during the last week, but Sing
ton neither is the fielder nor the hit
ter that is Simmons And yesterday
Fred, like many another National, was
helpless to aid the cause.
In the first eight innings Rockies
Jim Turner and Billy Weir held the
Griffs to two hits, one coming in the
first inning and the other in the
fourth. Both were made by Joey
Kuhel and one was scratchy. Only
one Griffman reached second, and
that was by two-base error.
Meanwhile Joe Cascarella was do
ing a good but apparently hopeless
Job, for in the seventh inning, and
with two out, Pinch-hitter Frank Nc
Gowan scratched a hit to second base
and was pushed across the plate by
successive singles by Deb Garms and
Vince Di Maggie. Seemingly this was
enough to win the game.
