Topeka Man Invents Tie Tong
Track Tool.
Will Do Away With Puncturins
of Railroad Ties.
SAVE TIME AND DECAY
Many Railroads Adopt Tool on
Their Lines.
Other Items of General Interest
in Railroad World.

After watching the ever important tie
problem on the American railroads for
a number Of years and after coming in
contact with actual railroad conditions,
A. J. Hayden, a young man of Topeka,
has invented and placed on the market
a device for the handling of ties.
Not only has Mr.. Hayden placed this
tool on the market and captured all of
the patent rights for his own use but
he has made contracts with several
railroads for a large supply of the
tools and he will make his headquar-
ters in Topeka for the manufacture of
the ''tie tong tool" aa 1t is called.
The tie tong tool is for the purpose of
preventing damage to ties from pick
puncture and for saving time inserting
and removing track and switch ties. AS
the railroads are always looking for
something to save ties and save time
also they have taken a great interest
in the Hayden tool and the young man
has started out in a successful indus
try in this city.
The railroads are continually pur-
chasing wood for ties from all parts of
the United States and even in Japan.
The Santa Fe recently sent over to
Japan for millions Of ties for use on
the railroads in this part of the coun-
try After they received these ties the
next move is to preserve them with
ballast, treating materials and finally
with the handling by the use of the
Hayden tie tong tool.
The use of this tool will enable the
railroads to overcome the common
practice of driving the pick into the
top surface of the tie in pulling it
from under the rail. This sometimes
requires a number of jabs into the tie
and sometimes 1t splits them and
leaves them open to the elements. The
Topeka made tool handles all sizes of
ties with much less effort than with
the pick or other tools.
Mr.. Hayden says many of the main
tenance of way engineers and road
masters object to the use Of pick in
inserting ties, as it splits them and
leaves holes for the collection of
moisture and finally starts decay and
ruin. A tool of this kind is essential,
they say, and they have made known
their ideas by the orders they have
sent to Topeka
1t also saves time inserting and re-
moving track and switch ties which
will of course reduce cost of track
work on all railroads which are adopt
ing the new tie.
The railroads first commencing the
use of the tongs are the Atchison. To-

& st. Paul, the Chicago, Burlington &

is listed as the secretary of the local
club in the who's who in baseball %
now being prepared in Chicago.
And a mighty good secretary Mrs.
ger of the Cooleysox. Other secretaries
may come and go but when Mrs. Cooley
is looking after the duties of the sec
rotary of the club the work is kept
up, everything is done as it should be,
and 1t is safe bet that Richard does
not get any the worst of it in any
way.
The only woman secretary in the
country is a thirty-t1lird degree fan,
and then some. She loves a ball game
as well IS any man. She is doubly well
informed because she watches games
with the instincts of a fan and the
knowledge of a manager.
There is never any question of loyal
ty to the owner of the club with Mrs.
Cooley as secretary. Cooley knows
more about baseball players and the
game itself than any living man, and
always was the greatest player in the
world. There is no question about it
and if you want some one to say
something to you, just intimate that
some of the above things are not true
in the presence of the secretary of the
club.
When Fred Robbins resigned last
fall as secretary of the local club,
Cooley decided that he would be his
own secretary he purchased a type
writer and was going to do his own
work and let Abbott run the ball team
But Cooley found that years of base
ball had made thumbs of most of his
fingers. as far as running a typewriter
was concerned. Then he drafted Mrs.
Cooley and later swore her in as his
regular secretary. He can give his at
tention to the team and the game now,
and knows that the work of secretary
will be we'll and properly done. And
it is safe to say there will not be a
more popular secretary in the league
this year, than the secretary of the
local ball club.

FOOTBALL MEN ARE BUSY.
situation Is Still in an Unsettled Con-
ditiOn.

New York. March 26.5The foot
ball rules revisers. gathered here from
all over the country, got into consulta-
ton early today. It was realized on all
sides that there was a lot of hard
work to be done If the intercollegiate
football rules committee, as the body
of football reformers is officially des-
ignated, was to obviate the necessity
Eof carrying it's sessions over into an
other week or adjourning with its task
still uncompleted.
The situation, as the revisers gath
cred at their headquarters, was still
very much unsettled. Ne proposition
had yet reached the stage of a final
vote and even the most sanguine of
the conferees would venture no predic-
lions as to when the long drawn out
deliberations would eliminate in def1n-
tie action. The process of elimination,
though it has been carried far and
the statement made today that no new
ideas were being advanced and that
attention was being concentrated on
the suggestions already offered and
freely debated. afforded encourage
ment.
Retention of the forward pass in
some form is still confidently expected.
The possible abolition of the straight
arm was said to be one of the things
receiving more serious consideration.
