ORDER CANAL row ENGINES.
Four Hawsers VIII Hold Ship Steady
in Big Ditch.

Washington, Oct. 10.-The system of
towing to be employed in operating the
locks in the Panama canal is outlined
in the specifications and plans for the
towing locomotives which have been
prepared in order that bids may be
asked for on the 40 machines which
will be required for the locks at Gatun
Pedro, Miguel and NIiradores. The sys-
tenn, which is the invention of Edward
Schildhauer of the canal engineering
STAFF, provides for the passing of a
ship through the locks at the rate of
two miles an hour, the vessel being
held steady between four taut hawsers.
A ship viii come to a full stop in the
1orebay of the locks. where four haws-
ers Will be attached to it, two forward
on either side. and two aft. At their
other ends. these hawsers will be at
tached to the windlasses of four towing
locomotives, operating on the lock walls,
two forward towing and two aft being
towed by their hawSers, thus holding
the ship steady. The locomotives will
run on a level. except as they pass
from one lock to another. where they
will climb heavy grades
There will be two systems of tracks
one for towing and the other for the
return of the locomotives when not
towing.

REGRET GEARS DEPARTURE.
Austin Fans Have Only Praise for To-
peka's New Manager.

Oklahoma City, Oct. 1O.-Fans all
around the circuit will regret to see
Dale Gear drop out of Texas league
baseball. Gear has signed a contract
to manage the Topeka team of the
Western league next season. He has
been very successful as a manager in
the Texas league and brought his ca
reer in this league to a fitting close by
bringing the Austin team through a
pennant winner in its first season i'll
the leaue- Gear has been more
successful in developing young players
to the majors from his Shreveport
team than any other minor league
manager during the same period.
Gear will take two of the Austin
stars to Topeka with him and will
propably break up the winning COM
bination of the Senators. Austin won
the pennant this year through good
team work rather than because of it's
individual players, and unless another
manager can be secured who can get
as much work out of his men as Gear
did, the chances are that the team will
not finish very high in the list next
year.

first noticed on Mr.. Rockefeller's re-
turn to Tarrytowns this month. Sew
eral of his friends thought Mr.. Rookie
feller held his hand in a peculiar man

Mr.. Rockefeller executes the new
shake by holding his hand with his
thumb extended directly under the
first finger. thereby avoiding a hearty
clasp. The explanation is that Mr..
Rockefeller is endeavoring to keep his
hands in good condition for golf. On
previ >us home coming occasions, Mr..
Rockefeller's friends have been so glad
to see him that they nearly cracked his
hand. and he had great difficulty in

RIVALRY in The
TRI-STATE CAMP
Altoona and JOhnStOWn Will
Continue to be Matched
on Holidays
RESTORATION OF PEACHES
DECIDED BOOST ALL AROUND

The sale Of the Williamsport Tri-
State League franchise and players
to Wilmington has materially bright
ened the prospects for a successful
season in the league. For the first
time since its inception the Tri-State
will be without representation in VIII
Transport. At many times there were
rumors that the Billies would quit
baseball or be asked to withdraw. but
always at the opening game the team
was on the field, and usually with q
lineup that made the others hustle
continually.
Now, however. the Millionaires have
become the Peaches and the original
Tri-State idea with teams in Penn
sylvania, New Jersey and Delaware, is
again a reality. The addition of viii
mington gives Trenton a rival as a
drawing card at home games. Tren-
toms isolation from the other citiel
I'm the league for so long greatly re
duced the attendance, but now rivalry
will exist, and the Peaches should
be one of the Jerseymens best attrac-
tions. The same condition will prob
ably exist I'm Wilmington.
York and Harrisburg and Lancaster
and Reading will be paired off with
each other for holiday games, It IL
probable. With Altoona and Johns
town as the big day" contestants IN
the west, the attendance figures
should be much bigger IN 1911. The
morning games in one city and after
noon contests in the other. II IL
looked upon to restore the old-time
rivalry among the baseball fans OF al
the cities on the circuit.
The restoration of Wilmington az
Tri-State League factor should b'
a decided boost to the interest II
the league. The new team will b.
under a different management anC
in different surroundings may strike
a better pace. Fans here were rip'
for baseball, and with Pete" Cassidy
the former Baltimore Eastern League
first baseman, in control, the Peaches
may develop a first division aggrega
ton. At all events they have as goo'
a team of last years players as an
