OLDEST LIVING ENGINE DRIVER

Edward Entwistle, who was the en-
CINE driver on the first passenger train
in England, is a resident of Des
Moines, Iowa. The old mechanic, hale
and hearty, is just entering his ninti-
eth year, and he looks back over a long
vista of progress and invention and
tells with wonderful enthusiasm how
George Stephenson, whom he knew,
established his great invention as a
practical possibility.
Il was born at Tillsley Banks, near
Manchester. England, March "a, 1915, "

Bridgewater, in his machine shops at
4 Manchester, and was Immediately set
to work on a locomotive.
Locomotives had been in use for
about four years, hauling coal from
the Duke of Newcastle's collieries in
I the north of England to the seaboard.
They had not yet been employed in
passenger traffic, however, although
such use was in contemplation.
George Stephenson, the inventor of
the locomotive, had no early educa.
ton. At the age of twenty he did not
even kaow his alphabet, but was an
apprentice in the machine shops OF
the Duke Of Newcastle. At that time
he attracted his employers attention
by his remarkable inventive genius,
and the duke obliged him to limit his
working hours to eight, so that he
might put four or five hours each day
into study.
THE Duke of Newcastle was largely
4 interested in the construction of a
road between Manchester and Liver
pool, and Stephenson, then about for
ty-five years of age, built for its SER

Stephenson was construction boss
on the new railroad. 1t was a stupen-

in finishing it, For fifteen miles it
crossed a bog called Chatmoss, where
the turf had TO be removed sometimes

filled with clay and gravel.
when the day approached for the
completion of the road, George
Stephenson asked James Ashcraft,
foreman of the duke of Bridgewater's

Ashcraft replied that he had no man
that he could recommend But he

from him a written permit for me TO

arrangements were completed, and the
time for the formal opening of the

BASEBALL RULES EXPLAINED.
National League Pitchers Restricte
in Delivering the Ball.


All the playing rules under whic
the National and American leagues an
the National Association of Profession
al Baseball League will be governe
during the coming season were carr
fully scrutinized at a two days confer
ence between President Pulliam o
the National league and his staff o
umpires at Philadelphia.
President Pulliam said that tn,
three most important things agree
upon were the delivery of the ball t.
the bat, defining a balk and when {;
base runner is out In the pitching
rulesthe strictest construction ha.
been made. The rule says:
Preliminary to pitching the pitcher
shall take his position facing the bats
man, with both feet squarely on the
ground, and in front of the pitchers
plate, and in the act of delivering the
ball TO the bat ne must keep one foot
in contact with the pitchers plate, de
fined in rule 8. He shall not raise
either foot until in the act OF deliver
ing the ball to the bat, nor make more
than one step in such delivery.
President Pulliam explained to the
umpires that the slightest motion of q
pitcher, swinging or lifting his arms
whirling on hs toes, bending on his
knees. or taking any step, should be
considered the beginning of his pitch
After the pitcher got that far the base
runner could start, and if the pitcher
stopped or threw TO base the umpire
was obliged to decide that a balk hac
been made.
A pitcher must keep both feet in
front and within the twenty-four inch
square. The restrictions on the
pitcher viii. it is believed. be of ma
terial advantage TO batsmen and base
runners.
The attention of the umpires was
particularly called to the following sec
tions of rule 90:
Section 16. If, before two hands
are out and while third base is occu
pied, the coacher stationed near the
base shall run in the direction of home
base on or near the base line while a
felder is making or trying to make q
play on a batted ball not caught on
the fly. or a thrown ball, and thereby
draws a throw to home base, the base
runner entitled to third base shall be
declared out by the umpire for the
coacher's interference with and pre-
vention of the legitimate play.
Section II. If one or more members
of the team at bat stand or collect al
or around a base for which a base
runner is trying, thereby confusing the
fielding side and adding TO the difficult
~ of making such a play, the base run
ner shall be declared out for the inter
ference of his teammate or team
mates.
President Pulliam said that umpirine
had been much improved, and gave
figures to show that clubs playing on
the road stood as good a chance TO win
as home clubs.-New York Times.
