While the Elks played the belter game and would have won, these errors were the main factors in the scoring. Evans for the Elks was in gi.nl form and showed a diversified mix ture of curves and fast ones, occa sionally resorting to llis slow ball. He was given good support except in one inning, the second, when the Cubs tilled tbe bases after Hoyce reached first on Bell's error. Holmes singled and Evans walked, White filling the bases. C. Davis was vn able to meet the emergency and went out on strikes retiring the side. The Elks scored their first run In the first inning when Hinton singled to left but due to poor fielding lie reached third before the ball was re turned to the infield. On a short passed ball Hinton scored. Tbe Elks scored the remaining five runs witli a mixture of hits, several of which should have been easy chances, with a few errors which do not show In the box score as tabulated belou.

Interstate Commerce ' Commission An- nounces Decision Effective July 1 j Washington. May 24 (By The As sociated Press) Reduction In freight rates averaging about ten per cent were ordered today by the Interstate i Commerce Commission In the deci sion resulting from an inquiry into (lie general rate structure ot the na tion. The cut .was fixed nt fourteen per cent In eastern territory, at thirteen and one-half in western, at twelve and one-half In southern and moun tain Pacific territory. All reductions are effective July 1 and constitute a greater cut than was generally expected. The coin mission in ordering the decreases, which are on a horizontal basis, held that the railroads are entitled to earn five and three-quarters per cent on the value of their property rather than approximately six per cent, fixed as a reasonable return In the transportation act of 1 9 20. Passenger and pullman rates are unaffected. Agricultural products are not affected by the reduction, the voluntary cut made by the railroads on January 1st substituting for the decision on these commodities. The commission defined the per centages of reduction in the southern district us twelve and one-half per cent instead of t lie twenty-five per cent authorized in 1920. The coin mission expressed the conclusion that "assumption that railroad rates can or should be stabilized on the pres ent high basis is futile." Wall Street Relieved New York, May 24 (By The Asso ciated Press) Wall Street received with evident relief the news of the railroad freight reductions by the In terstate Commerce Commission.
