There is no denying the shrewdness
Of Managers Frank Chance Of the Chi
cago Cubs and Fred Clarke OF the
Pittsburg Pirates. Chance knew that
Mcintyre Of the Brooklyn club had
always pitched good games against the
Pirates. so he engineered trade
whereby three OF his surplus young
sters went to Brooklyn and he ac-
quired the services Of Mcintyre. The
latter came up TO expectations. The
Brooklyn club was also strengthened
sufficiently to win a couple Of games
from the Dreyfuss aggregation.
Fred Clarke in the meantime was not
sleeping. Red White was the only
Boston pitcher that was able to beat
the Cubs last season. Accordingly
Clarke wanted White, He got him,
trading First Baseman Sharpe and
Pitcher Frock. White made good ia
his first trial as Pirate. winning from
Chicago And that was not all Frock
twirled for Boston against the Cubs
and went through with a victory. SO
Il can be said that both deals have
worked successfully from every angle.

Johnson, the boilermaker, who did
the twirling for the Colts, was there
all the time with speed, puzgling
curves and good control. He struck
out eight men and not hit was made
off OF him. Barker played the star
part for the Rush Springs team, strik-
ing out - men, but he was touched up
for ~ hits.
IN the fourth inning, with two men
on bases, a timely two-bagger sent two
over the plate. In aa sixth johnson
and Hays each tapped the sphere for
home runs, bringing in two men
apiece. Four men scored ON clean
singles in the eighth. Every one Of
the Colts played a star game.

Next in the order of consideration comes the
giant Age Herald press, Walter Scott ma
chine, considered by the best mechanics superior
to any built. 1t is recently patented high
speed sextuple press, built for The Age Herald
at cost of $50 900. It is 25 feet in length, 10
feet in width and 13 feet high. Its capacity is
$4,000 12-page papers per hour, or "A miles of
paper traversing the mechanism during 60 min
utes. The extra Sunday supplement- consisting
of SO pages, may thus be printed at the rate of

The press is operated by the Koher electric

plant of The Age Herald is arranged with
view of saving every particle of time, and is
thoroughly modern in all respects. Every sec
ond counts when the press is late, and when the
papers are printed things must be done in /:
hurry or it is hardly worth while to do them
at all. Therefore dispatch is allimportant. The
paste tables upon which the papers are
wrapped and the racks upon which the mail
sacks are hung are all arranged in oreery rows,
each one more or less convenient to the mail
chute. Great heavy bags of mail are thrown
into this chute, and though they apparently drop
through the floor they only stop after they have
been shot out into the alley alongside the build
ing and into one Of the automobile mail wagons
which are there to receive the bag and dash off
with it to the depot.
Perhaps the most conspicuous objects in The
Age Herald Mailing Room are the conveyors
which deliver the papers to the Mailing Depart
ment from the Press Room. These conveyors

system of belts need not be used Two motors,
one of ~ horse power for slow speed and a
larger one of 30 horse power for high speed, are
geared directly to the main shaft, and may be
started at any of nine push-button stations. At
each of these stations are found five buttons,
three for 4" on, - off, and stop" and two for
''safe" and run" The safety button pressed
at any of the stations renders it impossible for
the mechanism to be started at any of the other
eight stations and is an excellent device Tor the
prevention of accident and injury to pressmen.

Men and boys dart here and there among the
long tables and then follows a rustic and hustle,
the like of which is not to be seen in many
places. Half dozen more wrappers,
young men who roll the papers up in the wrap

wrapped and sacked. Then come further orders
from the perspiring mail clerk:
'No 1 is due to be leaving now. Take those
sacks to Twenty street and throw them
on at the crossing"
And soon the few sacks are sent off in an auto
mobile delivery wagon maintained for the pur-
pose. The train is caught at the crossing and
Che mail is sent on its way. Such is the scene III
the Mail Room.
It is big task to get off nearly four tons OF
paper mail on Sunday morning in such limited
space of Time hence the Mail Room in the new

working on wheels and rollers, take the papers
right off of the press and the 'sheets" are never
touched until they reach the mail clerk s depart
ment. They are lifted from the Press Room in
a steady stream and are deposited on the second
floor in even pile, being, one by one, stacked
no with the same rapidity with which they are
turned out by the press. This conveyor is new
patent given to the newspaper business and few
newspaper plants in the south are equipped with
them They wonderful savers of both time
and labor
But leaving conspicuousness aside, the most
wonderful little machine used in the department
is the invention used to paste the little yellow
address slips on the newspaper wrapper. The
names OF subscribers are printed on the yellow
paper which is cut up into long, narrow slips,
bearing the names and addresses of thousands
of people residing in all parts of the world.
These long slips pasted together and yards
and yards are wound up in the little stamping
machine When properly threaded back through
a series of rollers the under side of the long vel
low paper ribbon passes over a roller covered
with paste, and with single motion of the
thumb on the part of the operator, when the lit
tie machine is pressed down the name and adj
dress is pushed out clipped off and pasted on
the wrapper. Thousands of these little slips
may be pasted upon the wrappers within an
hour by the aid of the simple machine.
So much for the mechanism of the depart
ment.
In the rear of the Mailing Room is the sub
division allotted to the City Circulation Depart
ment. 1t consists of room fitted up with long
benches for the carriers and little news mer
chants, and of the neatly furnished office of the
manager of carriers. At this division during
the early hours the sleepy little carriers call for
their papers, spread their sacks upon the
benches slip their papers i'll and soon out
and over their routes and ready for school
Without seeing, one can hardly realize the
rapidity with which the work in the Mailing
Department goes on. The layman can only per-
cieve it when it is stated that more than score
of thousands of papers must be addressed and
gotten out of the office within a very limited
space of time.
1t would be well worth the readers while to
lose his sleep some morning between 3 and 6
O'Clock to see the Mail Room forces at work
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1910-06-09

la@l many departments of the plant, the Mail
ing Room in the modern newspaper office, when
it swings into full, regular action, is of the
most interesting in the business. Here the
greater part of the work is performed manually,
while matters are worked down to such sys-
tenn that they really present big human ma
chine each man performing just his portion of
the work, though they all work together with
the same surety and dispatch of the great high
power press which furnishes their task.
In this department system is the whole secret.
When something happens to upset the perfect
working order of the immense plant thereby
causing ''late START in the press room, the
mailing clerk and his assistants really incur the
brunt Of the delay. Fast trains cannot be held
at the depots for sack of newspaper mail
Papers must be delivered to the little railway
postoffices by specified time or else the mail is
'missed.''
Hence very often seconds must be made to
answer for minutes and hours are not consld-
cred, for the trains, as a rule, must be made
in very short space of time. In such cases the
whole Mailing Department concentrates It's eff
forts on one two, or maybe three mails, as the
case happens to be. And here one may wit
ness part Of the real rush of the work in an up
to-date newspaper plant. Between 5:15 and
6:1O o'clock each morning II trains, going in all
directions, must be "made.'
.'How is No. H. the mailing clerk yells over
the telephone, his voice barely audible on ac-

lection of wheels in the shape of the press below
him.
