Wahler started to pitch for the picked

il was not deceptive to the experienced
eye, and the Senators accepted his de-
livery as d precious gift, something TO
be nursed and cherished. When Waller
went TO the timbers RUDE" Clark went
in, and he was as much a snap as his
predecessor. That exhausted the avail

Batters Shy and Coy.

It was a merry game from start 10
finish, but not for a single minute did
the boys have any chance with the pro-
fessionals. a couple Of jabs in the
ribs in the third inning took the bat
ting heart out of the leaguers. and after
that they could never muster nerve
enough TO face the slabman properly.
The shy, retreating air Of the amateur
batters at the plate was suggestive Of
a country boy. trying to kiss the s'm-
mer boarder. They felt around for the
ball, like a man running his hand in
hollow log in a snake country. and they
never had the slightest chance Of knock

cHIcAGo's FREIGHr TUNNELS.
Their Establishment has Already Cost
S7,OOO,OOO.

World Today.
Seven million dollars have already
been spent in the construction of the
tunnel and the establishment of the
freight railway system. 1t has been
an easy matter to obtain all the cash
required for the construction work and
for the successful fiotation by the ILL
nois Tunnel Company of a $50, 900, 900
corporation. half in stock and half in
bonds. At present three electric loco
motives and twenty-four freight cars
are running. The Illinois Tunnel Com
pany, the owner of the project, has let
the contract for 5000 steel cars and 100
electric locomotives to be in operation
June l.. The cars will be employed In
hauling every kind of freight, includ-
ing coal and general merchandise. The
electric locomotives have a capacity of
fifty tons each on the level and 100
tons on the inclines, which are to be
used in connecting the railroad yards
and buildings with the tunnels. The
cars will each hold twenty five barrels
Of sugar. flour or general merchandise
or seven tons of coal.
One of the most valued services of
the underground freight railway will
be in relieving the cramped condition
OF the Chicago railway terminals. For
ty per cent of the total railway mileage
OF the United States has terminals in
down town Chicago. Thirty eight rail-
roads and railroad systems have termi-
nails here. and these thirty eight are
compelled. to receive and deliver
freight from a mere half dozen freight
depots. More than S50.000,0 1000 annual
ly are now spent in trucking freight
across Chicago from freight terminals
to warehouses and stores The cost to
merchants amounts to about 90 cents
per ton. With present facilities 1t is
about the limit of capacity for a team
to haul two truck loads of freight on
a business day from any one OF these
depots. BY the tunnel system the cost
of truckage will be greatly reduced and
many times the amount of freight can
be hauled in a fraction OF the time now
required. Certainty of delivery re-
CARELESS Of weather. the elimination of
the coal HEAVIER, and the doing away
with the extra handling of dirt and
other disadvantages connected with the
present methods are assured by the
tunnel system. 1t is estimated that tho
haulage OF coal alone will more than
pay the operating expenses of the tun-
mel railway.
