MAKES COALING EASY MATTER
Modern Machinery Loads Tons of Fuel
in Space Of Only a Few
Seconds.

The coaling Of locomotives at large
terminals, where great many engines
are dispatched, requires the handling
of large amount Of coal. The mod
ern engine carries Is tons-3O, 900
| pounds.
In the early days this coal was shov-
eled direct from cars, carried into en-
gines by hand In small two-bushel
boxes, or taken direct from mines ad-
Joining the main line, but since the
nearby coal deposits have been
worked out and the mines have been
located on spur tracks away from the
main line, coal chutes designed to de-
liver coal in from one to ten ton lots
on the engine tender have been erect
ed at convenient places, usually about
fifty miles apart
Freight trains require coal about
every fifty miles, while passenger
trains usually run 100 miles more with
out taking coal. In renewing the old
coaling plants or adapting them to
double track, the Wabash railroad is
erecting modern steel structures hav-
ing 300 tons storage, and 30 arranged
| as to deliver coal on either the main
tracks or passing tracks, or all, at the
same time. The coal is dumped from
selt-clearing cars into q concrete pit,
where 1t runs by gravity into an ele-
yator having ton buckets, which are
hoisted by electricity. The whole az.
rangement makes a resourceful and
economical coaling plant, as an engine
can take ten tons Of coal in as many
seconds, thus insuring the minimum
stoppages and avoidi~g delay to trains.

The Giants evened up with the Phillies
in the last series in Gotham. Nothing
but four straight satisfied McGraws men.
But the Giants didn't do SO we'll at St.
Louis, while the Phillies took brace at
Pittsburgh.
Cravath is hitting at a .408 clip for the
one base variety altho he has three home
runs to his credit. His team mate, Sher-
wood Magee, leads the league in the mat

of them.

Cincinnati folks are struck on Devore and
Groh, it's 0. X, and we can all be pals
together Muggsy was evidently in a
facetious mood for if his team continues
to win but half their games the situation
will stand quite little realizing.
Catcher Gibson expects to be ready to
play with the Pirates by the time the
Giants arrive. This should prove to be a
warm series.
Brooklyn, having lost its horse shoe,
continues to slip. The team seems unable
to win with their one best bet, Rucker, in
the box. Whenever Nap goes on the
mound hits are as scarce as hens teeth with
the Dodgers.
The Cubs are doing little better at
home. They recently mauled the Cards
to fare-you-well, then went to Pittsburgh
and kicked away two games. Evers needs
pitchers and needs them badly. Ed Reul-
bach was slated for release, but made
good showing the last time out and thus
averted the tin can, at least temporarily.

Joe Tinker expects to have his men on
the upward move in short order. How far
up will they go is the question. Certain
ly they should Chamber up as far as sixth
place without much difficulty as they are
at home until July End. Tinker, last week,
traded Beals Becker to the Phillies for
third baseman Dodge.
The Athletics are keeping up their strong
winning pace having recently defeated
Washington, New York and Detroit with
out skip. | notice that both Hugh Jen-
nings and George Stovall say that the
Mackmen lack pitching strength. For all
that they seem to be grabbing off games
with commendable regularity. Seems
funny they could win so often with poor
pitchers, or perhaps the other clubs pitch
ers are just little bit worse.
Cleveland is not losing any ground up to
date and are still but a few points below
the Mackmen. Their playing abroad thus
far has been all that could be wished for.
This week they meet Boston, Philadelphia,
and Washington in the order named and if
they can clean up that cluster they will en-
ter the Ii karat fine class, sure.
The Senators have been at disad vantage
recently by having a number of players in
Jured. When the team gets under way
with its full playing strength better results
may be looked for. With Foster, Gandil,
Morgan, Moeler and Shanks laid up the
team presented sorry lineup. Griffith is
hard loser and in one or two recently lost
series set up howl that the other teams had
swiped his signals. This is so silly that no
importance is attached to it. Just shows
that Griff gets real warm under the collar
when the boys get licked.
The White Sox are still in fourth place.
The team was greatly strengthened at the
initial corner when Hal Chase was secured
from New York Childe Harold has the
ability if Callahan can only get it out of
him. Chase has been suspected of quitting
on the Highlanders on more than one oc-
casion. He is temperamenta youngster
and wants to be handled with care. In the
past Manager Callahan has not been over
long on patience and it is thought he will
not coddle Chase to any great extent.
Manager Chance has recently profted by
the addition of Zeider and Borton to the
Highlanders. There is little doubt that
these men will greatly strengthen the team.
Some time previous to the exchange Of
Chase for the above men. Manager Chance
traded Lelivelt and Stump to Cleveland for
Roger Peckinpaugh. This trade will
hardly benefit him. Peckinpaugh, as short
stop, kicked away many games for the Maps
and he will do the same for Chance. His
first game at New York he had three mis-
plays chalked up against him. Perhaps
his hitting will more than make up for
other short comings.

In dressing this couture nearly all
of the hair is combed back to form the

and they are parted off evenly By
waving the hair a little it is easier to
make the coils full and light and gives
the back of the couture a better fin
