PUMPMEN AND LINEMEN.
Important WOrI>men in the Great Conl
Oil Industry.

Oil Industry.
From the Philadelphia North American.
A class of men who know the real mean
ing of the term strenuous life'' are the
hardy pump linemen who superintend the
transit of oil from well to tide water. They
live thousands of feet above the level of the
sea on lonely mountains. Months pass and
they never see a new face. Clouds, mfsts
and fog, above, below and around them
form the eternal landscape. In the sum-
mer season the work, though hard, can be
endured; it's main discomforts are the iso-
lation and the physical exhaustion. But
when winter chains the mountains in it's
icy spell then the lineman is subjected to
hardships from which even the strongest
man might we'll shrink
Even though the mercury coquette with
the zero. the pipes must be kept in condi-
ton to carry the oil To make necessa nv
repairs the lineman must climb mountains
cross ravines and ford rivers and creeks
Sometimes he must stand waist deep for
hours in snow and water, and when his
task is finished tramp back miles through
snoW-choked and ice-bound forests before
he can reach the shelter of his humble
home. They are heroes of everyday life
these brave men. No one applauds their
courage, no poet sings their praises, yet
they daily submit to exposure and perform
exploits of daring that are not surpassed
In actual warfare The Susquehanna Junt-
alta. Lehigh and other streams whose wa
ters flow toward the Atlantic coast are
lined with the homes of these thrifty work
men.
There are two classes of operators-the
pumpmen and the linemen The first squad
looks after the pumps and sees that moth
ing checks the flow of oil; the other force
lays new pipe. These men are really
charged with the responsibility of bringing
TO Philadelphia, New York and other cities
the OIL which is so necessary as fuel and
illuninans.

Pat Dempsey Signs to Coach the
Georgetown Grew.
METROPOLITAN GOLFERS TO MEET
Young Corbett May Fight Terry
McGoyern in St. Louis
B A S E B a LII N EW s

P. A. Dempsey, the noted rowing coach.
who has done more to bring distinction to
the SchuylkiH navy of Philadelphia than all
the other rowing coaches combined, has
signed a contract with the officials of
Georgetown College to coach the crews.
Mr.. Dempsey will have absolute control
over aquatic affairs at Georgetown He
will be held responsible for results, but he
viii not be interfered with in the methods
by which he hopes to produce the desired
results
Mr.. Dempsey's ability both as an oarsman
and coach was always recognized in
Philadelphia. but it was not until 1900 that
ne achleFed an international reputation.
Then ne took the champion Vesper eight
of that city to Paris, where, on the Seine
he defeated all the crack eights of the
world
For five years Mr.. Dempsey was the
champion amateur of the Schuylknl In
1897 he established his reputation as a sue
cessfui coach with the Pennsylvania Barge
Club' which at the Schuylkill navy regatta
Won the singles, doubles, pairs, fours and
eights. At the Fourth of July the same
year, they repeated the performance, but
this time against the best crews in the
country.
They were equally successful at the ma
tloual regatta. where they beat the Uni
Versity of Pennsylvania and the Weld
crew of Harvard by twenty seconds In
1898 and 1893 the career of the Pennsylvania
crew was practically one string of victories
In 1900 the famous Vesper crew was or
ganized. The Vespers went down the line
beating everything and winning the right
to represent America at the international
championships in Paris, where, as already
stated, they were just as successful as they
had been at home.
In 1901, being dissatisfied with the way
some of the members of the crew conducted
themselves, Mr.. Dempsey retired as coach
consequence oh he
mad built up went to pieces and finished no.
where in the big races.

SPEEDY TROTTERs MAY RACE.
Forfeits Have Been Posted by TIVE q
the Partiea Interesfed

Forfeits Have Been Posted by Two of
the Parties Interested.
The proposed match races between the
trotters Lord Derby, The Abbot and Bo-
ralrna now look to be an assured fact. E..
E. Smathers, owner of Lord Derby, yes
terday posted a forfeit Of 5000 to bind a
match. and a similar sum has already
been posted by ex-Fire Commissioner Scan
nell. who owns The Abbot. It was ex-
pected that Mr.. Lawson would send a rep
resentative to New York city yesterday to
arrange the details of the matches, but he
did not think this necessary. and said that
he would send at once an agreement and
two forfeits to bind the matches
The Lawson agreement will be submitted
to Messrs. Scannell and Smathers, and II
Is very probable that both these men will
sign the agreement immediately, as the
conditions in the original challenge sent ont
by Mr.. Lawson were acceptable to the par
ties interested
Lord Derby has beaten Boralma twice.
and while he has been in Mr. Smathers'
possession but a short time he is conf
dent that he can repeat the performan nee
when called upon. The race arranged be-
tween The Abbot and Boralma last year
did not come of, as the latter on this oc-
casion was taken Ill. Mr. Lawson has
claimed that Boralrna was not at his hest
when he was beaten by Lord Derby last
year, and he II condds3 that his horse
