IMPORTANT LITTLE PEGS
They Stand for Wandering Freight Cars
Car Accountant Tells About -

THAT freight cars are ever completely
lost is fallacy.' said w." e. Beecham.
car accountant of the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul. The railroad has q system by
which any one of its 10000 freight cars
can be placed absolutely within reasonable
time. . =, >..-,,
The record is kept in a room containing
half dozen immense counting boards
filed with pegs, each peg containing a
record Of different car from the time
1t goes into the service until it is abajl-
doned. Tiny colored tickets are hung on
pegs every time car is reported as trans
]ferred to one of the many intersecting
lines over which. it travels, the ticket cor
: tanning the car number, the name Of the
road and the date OF" trans ferr1r1g! IT
takes but a moment to find any one Of the
companys cars, the top ticket Heating
its last known position. "~'""'"
THE history of one of our furniture
cars from the first Of October to the pres, :,
ent, time might give you some idea, Of
how accurately the whereabouts Of car
can be known: at all times said MI,
Beecham. Here is furniture car which
started from Racine on Oct. of last
year. 1T was probably loaded with furni-
ture when it began its journey, as it is
among our furniture equipment. It left
that point Via the F., j. & E., which in
tersectS all the great lines running into
Chicago. The next day it was trans
ferred to the Chicago & Eastern Illinois,
the day after TO the Evansville & Terre

Bridge railway, then to the Southern rail-
way. by that railway on Oct. IL to the H..
w. P 1t then started west by way Of the
Nashville, Chattanooga & st. Louis on
Oct. %, but was turned back south via
the Southern railway: on Nov: 4 into Geor-
gia, sent north by the same route and
switched off west again to the Cincinnati
New Orleans & Texas Pacific on Dec. 49,
Finally it gets ON the G. &, N. w., and, is
delivered to the c., Nj & st. P. at Racine.
The life of a freight car is about twen-
ty years. The only ones ever really lost
are those destroyed by fire when no record
can be found. After a certain time one,
of these pegs will show for itself that the
car is not being traced; when an inquiry
will be made. 1t may have been heard Of
last in the vicinity Of Milwaukee at about
the time a great fire occurred, or wreck,
when it is reasonable to suppose the car
was burned. although no, actual; proof is
ever furnished: Again proof may be given
within a few hours after the car is;yde-i
stroyed. Then we turn 1.-The peg Wrons,

split over offices between the Metropoli-
tan ana Illinois leagues, and the adher-
ents Of each Of the subordinate organiza-
ions. Will be the movement in favor of
widening the base of the standard pin.
Eastern, boWlers believe the game has
TOO great an element Of luck under the
present rules. Big scores, they say, come
TOO easy for SECOND and third classsbowI-
ers, and the New Workers want a change
They will try to work an amendment
through making the base OF Che standard
pin 21s instead of ~ inches in diameter
This change. they assert, will make
strikes much more rare than they are
now. In fact, a perfect ball will be needed
to clear the alley. 49, ,..-
Local ,bowlers, however, and especfallv
alley owners, will fight the change to a
finish, and it Is believed that the west
generally will oppose the proposed amend
,ment to the rules ~. g.,
Experts naturally do not like to be
beaten, even on rare occasions by second
raters. The mass Of the bowlers, how
ever, prefer to retain the element Of luck
1t only adds to the fascination of the
game, and the tyro finds as much de-
light IN beating supposed expert as the
expert doesn't find In being beaten.
Alley owners, Of course, will oppose any
change which hurts the popularity of the
game. and the wide base 1t is believed,
would cut off large number of the pres
-ent patrons, who are delighted with the
Uncertainties Of the sport e i
Gus Hamlin voiced the opinion that tho
west would turn the change down hard,
even though the solid east is for it. II
worked in bowling alleys here ten and
twelve years ago. he said when the
wide base pins were in vogue. I know
that you would hurt the business good
deal by the proposed change. The ma
jority Of the bowlers do not want the
game made too scientific: y The business
man who bowls only once or twice a
week wants chance to win now and then
against an expert. It is simply because
the game is easily learned, and because
it takes only few months to attain fair
degree of proficiency. that it has: taken
such a hold on the masses. Cut out the
luck In the game, and the masses. would.
cease to gpatronize it. The western man,
especiallye the Hey owners, are not going'
to agree, TO any change WHICH hurts the the

T Scribe Has to Buy a; Ticket. 49,.
1t isn't often that a newspaper man
pays his way into any public entertain
ment. 1t is especially rare that a scribe
who is representing his paper in an official
capacity has to cough up hard earned cash
either his own or that OF" the ~office-to
secure admission. For reporter, present

buy his seat to a football game is without
precedent. But that is just what one To-
cal reporter did
! The scribe in question arrived in Chicago
Saturday morning to secure an accurate
and unbiased account Of the Wisconsin,
Michigan game for Minneapolis morning
paper. He started on search for one OF
the managers Of the contesting teams but
! failed to locate either one. SO he had to
purchase his ticket or remain outside the
gates. And tickets then were scarcer than
hens teeth 1t cost him just $3.50 to get
! inside the fence. ~N -
Still he got. off lucky. for much higher
premiums We're paid during the day. One
man who had secured a block Of ten re-
served seats disposed of them for 50
