Wireless Telegraphy "Go" on
the Union Pacific Lines.
Two Stations Being Equipped
for Use at Once.
WORKING FOUR YEARS
Union Pacific Has Made Sue
cessful Experiments.
Other Items of General Interest
in Railroad World.

Wireless telegraphy will soon be in
use on the Union Pacific, according to
an official of the company who has
been carrying on experimental engi-
neering work. Two stations are being
equipped, one at Cheyenne, Wyo., and
the other at Sydney. 1o3 miles away,
between which tests will be made as to
whether wireless will do the same
commercial work as wires, and 1t is
likely that experiments will be made
in sending messages to trains.
For four years the Union Pacific has
had engineers experimenting with wire
less telegraphy In it's laboratory at
Omaha Considerable money has been
spent in developing what is asserted to
be a new system of wireless telegraphy'
and which has now reached such a
stage that 1t is ready for commercial
use For the Cheyenne and sydney
stations high towers of from 250 to
200 feet will be built. They will have
to be of solid construction because OF
the high winds. and officials expect
that they shall have no trouble deliver
ing messages satisfactorily. The Union
Pacific is the first railroad to put wire
less telegraphy into operations.
AS to the advantages of wireless
teleeraphy, it is stated that 1t makes
for greater safety to trains and passen-
gers because when wires would GO
Down before a gale it will be possible
To keep trains moving and to transact
Official railway business. AS to cost,
i; would be a great saving over wires

ed from as far away as the gulf, and
exnerinenters have heard vessels talk

Notes of the Game.

Landreth went down to Ashland about
30 miles away to visit some relatives
and did not get back so Dick Cooley
played the first sack and stuck for the
nine innings although he lost % pounds
in weight.
BY the end of the game Dicks opin-
ion of Umpire Spencer could only be
expressed in whispers. He was too hot
to say them real loud.
Shotten caught Kerns fly in the fifth
and held it although the ball tore his
fourth finger nail off putting him out
OF the game for some days.
In the ninth Spencer ran Richard
Cooley off the third base coaching line
because he talked too much. In the
same inning Bill Shipke was cashed
from the first base coaching box.
In the fifth inning with two men gone
and Red Corridor going to bat Umpire
Spencer thought three men were gone
and walked over to the water bucket
Red stepped to the bat and swung vici-
ously at one of Kaufman's swell curves.
The next was a ball and Bolivar was
just winding up for a third heave with
Kerns ready to take it, when he dis
covered the Jump was not on the job.
Every one else gave the hard working
trio the laugh.
Kaufman robbed Shotten of hit in
the second inning by stretching eleven

Pittsburg. June 21.-Every baseball
fan is interested in the charges that
Pittsburgs slump is due to jealousy
among the players. President Barney
Dreyfuss denies this most emphatical-
~. According to the rumor, Hans Wag-
ner and Jack Miller have openly de-
clared war against Jack Flynn, the
first baseman. and these two players
have made strenuous efforts tc GUST
him. 1t IS further asserted that the
slump of the worlds champions is di-
rectly due to this factional fight and
not to the weather. as has been attrib-
uted by loyal supporters of the Pitts
burg team.

lowing is from a Chicago paper:
A ruling of the faculty made it GER
tain that the University of Chicago
baseball team will tour Japan early
next fall. Professor Goodspeed will ac-
company the team. Coach Stagg will
not make the trip.
A series of five games has been
scheduled with Waseda and Keio uni
versities, and it is expected that the
Maroons will be away from home for
three months.
Baseball is one of the ruling sports
In japan today. The little Nipponese
men play the national pastime in g.
manner that would do credit to many
of the ball teams America is proud Of
One of the very best teams ever pro-
duced by Japan is the Mikado aggre-
cation. They are a clever bunch of
f1elders and use their heads to good ad-
vantage. Their hitting, however, is not
up to the standard Of the American
ball teams.
The Japanese play very good ball
Their fielding and base running equals
that of the best minor leagues of our
country Where they are weak is in
batting. 1t is not likely that they will
ever become good batters, as they have
not the proper method of swinging tho
bat. The American baseball rules have
been translated into the Japanese Ian
guage. Good umpires are not to be
had In that country, however. The
wrong Interpretation is continually put
on the rules. All of the leading papers
of the land have reporters on the
ground and give fairly good accounts
of the game. The spectators, too, un-
derstand the game surprisingly well.

Is TT GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP:
President Ripley of Santa Fe Predicts
This in Five Years.

Chicago, Ill, June BE. P. Ripley,
president of the Santa Fe. in an inter-
view predicted that within five years
the United States government would
own every line of railroad within It's
domain. He believes the government
will have to take the step as an eco
nomic necessity. He said the rate
regulation bill now being considered
at Washington is a step which pres
ages the final result. He declined to
estimate the cost of taking over the
railroads There is little money in
operating railroads; it is all made in
promoting and building them for
bonuses and manipulating the stock.
