Opposition to the plan to relieve the congestion of the freight terminals in Chicago as devised by the fourteen leading lines along with the suggestion of government control was expressed by L. C. Fritch, chief engineer of the Chicago Great Western railway, who talked on the subject of railway termln" als at the weekly luncheon of the Cook County Real Estate board in Chicago yesterday. Mr. Fritch also expressed the opinion that the railroads enterh-ir the rninn

building up of a barrier that would divide one part of the city from the other and prevent the development of
Dusiness of the city In that direction. "The place to build a railwav ter
minal Is south In th At
city's present growth." said Mr. Fritch.
The freight terminals of the
railroad are used up to the limit at the
present time and this can be relieved by taking from them the through
traffic, but I do not believe that th
plan proposed a few days ago, that of using the inner belt line, will dr. tt ,

PORTZ TEAM WINS MATCH Portz's All .Stars took Eastwood's Cracks into camp for three straight games at Cox's alleys last night and Bent the infants home with such a sad tale that It would give anybody a nightmare. Only at one time did the Eastwoods have a chance to redeem themselves and that was In their last game, when they lost by a small margin of 11 pins. All the Eastwoods were in fair form with the exception of Knoerzer, who, somehow or other, could not get his hook ball to connect with the maples. Captain Eastwood then stepped into the second game, and although he was a little out of form he brought up the average considerable. Now. didn't he, Infants? Lefty Portz proved himself the hero of his aggregation by piling up a total of 199 pins in the second contest. He was there with all that fine stuff, and if it is possible to sign him up the champs of the Hammond bowling league will take him over to South Bend next month. Just take a look at the following scores that were made: Portz's All Stars. 1st. 2d. 8d. Baker ; 137 122 140 Dewey 156 166 134 Ports 135 128 Moll 157 J54 Kick 155 169 138
