FRIDAY GAME

On Friday another game was played
here with Volga. The visitors only
have one pitcher SO the "Reds"
loaned them Rife. Tommy pitched a
fair game excepting the second inning,
when an error, two walks and hitting
Nelson, gave us three runs. The hits
on both sides were even but the loose
fielding of Volga's infield assisted US
in making five tallys. Secora played
left for Volga and smashed out a three
sacker, but no n was on bases and
he died there gracefully. Mckinley
stole the only base and Rife made the
only sacrifice. Bert Tree umpired in
his usual impartial manner.

ley & Co, England, one of the leading
engine manufacturers in the world, is
especially attractive. as it seems TO COM
Dine the greatest efficiency in a neat and
compact form. The illustration gives a
sectional view of its arrangement. A.
represents the coal magazine. the coal
being introduced by the doors CAP.
In the center of the coal is the boiler
for water, with tubes Below is the
combustion furnace with pipe
'B-I'', to lead the steam and hot-air
to the CRATE bars and mingle the air and
vapor with the burning coal, where
they assist in combustion and are de-
composed into gas. The fire is first
started in the furnace and urged by a
hand-fan that forces the air through
II and carries off the gas. After the
engine gets to work it sucks the air and
gas through the furnace. The gas gen.
Grated in the furnace passes into the
boiler and there heats the water and
IS partially cooled itself. 1t is still hot
ter than is desired and. therefore, it is
drawn into the chamber &C. where it
is sprayed with water to make it give
up its heat This water, in order to
utilize all the heat. goes back into the
boiler. being partially warmed before it
enters it. After leaving the cooler the
gas has still many impurities and is
''scrubber" H where it is whirled
around by centrifugal apparatus
which draws the water and Impurities
out To one side. On the end OF the
scrubber spindle is the circulating
pump * which supplies water for the
engine. The action of the scrubber also
congresses the gas somewhat. making
1t the more ready for the engine. This
also has the advantage OF preventing
any too sudden changes in the producer
chamber from rapid Increase Or de-
crease Of the engines speed or load.
An ingenious automatic valve also regu-
lates the pressure in the producer
chamber. The engine Itself is the or
dinary two and four cylinder type of
the gas engine. The whole Is spoken Of
