1t was the pretty fielding of the
locals that kept the score of the
Nocks down when Burke by wildness
threatened to give them start and
IL was the errors of the visitors that
allowed Marion to pile up enough
runs to cinch the game.
Few. OF the locals have been re-
tired this season by the strike out
route. The boys hit the ball some
place. and when they get their bat
ting eyes some Of the beavers In the
league will be sent to the barn.
Ferd Drum appeared on the. coach
Ing lines In uniform for the first time
yesterday. He had not been well for
the past few days and did not don
his baseball togs.
Burke worked well yesterday, and
by winning the first one. he also won
his way into the hearts of the fans.
His delivery is easy and graceful,
and he fields his position we'll. With
little experience, Burke ought to
get control and become one OF the
stellar slabmen OF the league.
If Bobby Quinn continues his pres-
snt OF getting on bases about three

Lime Burners principal run getter.

Four Sample steel Cars.

The Union Pacific is building at Its
Omaha shops four sample steel cars,
two for freight, one for passenger SER
vice and one mail car. Steel a con-
struction is attracting the attention of
railroad managers all over the coun-
try because of their great superiority
over the old wooden type. The difficult
ty has been that steel cars were built
along the same lines as the old wooden
cars, and this has made them too heavy,
although they were considerably
stronger. The problem is now to de-
velop a car which will get the ad'
ditional strength from the use of steel
without piling on too much additional
weight.

better hours.

said Mr.. Mohler, land everything ad-
justed satisfactorily to both sides. The
agreements are all signed and will be
effective February /, for all the engi-
neers employed on f~o:ty-seven roads,
all situated west of Chicago. The en-
gineers withdrew their request to have
the time reduced to eight hours and
said their purpose in asking for eight
hours was simply as a basis of value;
that they knew trains could not be run
between terminals on that time and
that to insist on eight hours as a days
work would change every terminal on
most of the roads and make men
abandon their homes at the present
terminals.
