The Cleveland club has been pros
pecting on an extraordinary scale
for the last few years for diamond
sparklers. Taking a haphazard
guess. in the last half dozen years
almost 500 players have been in the
clutch of the Nap officials.
OF about eighteen real recruits
who were on trial at Mobile last
spring. only five have remained for
a longer trial. That number in
cludes Peckinpaugh, Baskette,
Steen, Ryan and O'Neill. Possibly
O'Neill might be eliminated from
that number. He had secured
trial in the fall of 1911 and had
been pronounced as fine prospect.
It's no deep, dark, hidden secret
that the Cleveland club has inten-
tons to dispose OF Peckinpaugh
if q suitable price can be procured
That will reduce the number of
recruits who survived the elimina
ton process to four.
COME folks haye referred to base
- ball as being one of the greatest
gambling propositions in the world

squads who have been tried. and

Jim's ability and disposition, has
counseled him in all his under

acted as his guardian during those
times 1t was he who advised him
to join the Giants when Thorpe
made up his mind to enter pro-
fessional baseball career
Warner accompanied his protege
to the Giants headquarters Satur-
day and had long conference with
McGraw, during which. no doubt,
he gave the Giants leader many
pointers on how to get the best re-
suits out of the athlete, and War
ner did not hesitate to give his
reasons why he thought Thorpe
would live up to his great reputs-

NIEW YORK. Feb. 5.-Will Jim
Thorpe make good? Can
this descendant of Ameri-

praise and admiration than any
athlete of modern times perform
on the diamond as he did on the

This is the question that every
Giant rooter has asked or pondered

TAKES SEVEN YEARS
TO GET NOVEL.

An American, who is a litrary agent
in London, recently applied for a tick
ct to the reading-room of the British
Museum, and, after relating the story
of his life, getting two 'householders"
to vouch for him and going through
other formalities, eventually received
it, about month having passed in
the meantime. Then, wishing to ver-
ify some point in a novel published
several weeks ago, he went up to the
museum and asked for it, but found
he could not wait until it could be
supplied. This, he was informed,
would be in seven years time.
1t would have been much simpler
had he desired to discuss an educa-
tional work; in that case he would
have had to wait only seven or
eight weeks, while in the case of a
newspaper from fifteen to sixteen
months must elapse between the date
of publication and that at which it
can be consulted at the British Mu-
scum. 1t seems that the newspa-
pers that are received there, and this
means every one published in Great
Britain, are kept in storage for II
months and then bound, process
which occupies three months or so,
after which anyone who has a read
er'S ticket can have access to them.
8 The reason given by the museum
folk for their rule regarding novels
is a good one, though the period for
which it is enforced seems a bit ex-
cessive. 1t appears that whereas the

WATER WORKS SYSTEM

A waterworks system may be in
stalled in Carlisle in the near future
At the next meeting of the City Coun-
Gil, it is said, an engineer will be di-
rected to make plans and specifica-
tions. A large concrete reservoir is
poposed to hold the water supply.
The sentiment Of the system is at fe-
yer heat owing to the near water
famine that has pre- allied in that
city for the, last few months, The
great increase in the amount of tax
able property in that city since the
last waterworks proposition was SUBJ
mitted gives reason for believing it
will be built.

The use of the baggage truck haul
ed or pushed by human muscle is no
longer used by many progressive rail
road and steamship companies. The
new idea is low deck. heavily built,
four wheel. storage battery driven
platform truck which moves the
trunks and bags of travellers in a
quantity and at a rate of speed which
consists with the modern transporta.
tation Of the passengers themselves,
One truck of the new type, operated
by the baggageman standing on a
small platform at the end. has rated
capacity of 1000 pounds and is geared
for three speeds, the maximum being
eight miles per hour empty and six
miles per hour loaded.s These little
giants Of transportation are finding
favor also in mail handling and in com
mercial warehouse work. The eff
cheney in handling mail bags. for ex-
ample, is shown by the fact that an
electric truck can make five trips with
a load OF two tons In the time re-
quired for hand truck TO make four
trips with one ton load; in other
terms. ga single electric truck does
the work Of two and one-half hand

SLOWER TRAINS FOR WINTER
Atmospheric Conditions Make Revi-
sion of Schedules Necessary In
Most Sections.

Instead of slowing down a few OF
the extra fare, extra fast trains, the
speed of nearly all passenger trains is
to be slackened.
The plan is to make general
frightening of passenger train SEIZED
ules, that is, all main line trains that
may be in any way considered in the
through route class. This takes in
probably 60 per cent. of all passen-
ger trains. The present plan is to deal
with trains that operate 200 or 800
miles up to 500. The exception to the
slower cards will be to the south,
where the weather Is not considered
sufficiently severe to interfere with
operations.
On timecards becoming effective in
many of the big western roads the
schedule scores of passenger trains
is strung out to time cards considered
safe. The managers say 1t is farci-
cal to advertise these fast trains in
winter, when they cannot meet their
schedule more than ten per cent. Of
the time. The locomotives will not
steam, and SHOWS and other atmos-
pheric conditions keep trains delay
ed, and the public becomes aroused.
The railroad men argue that the pub
lie will be better satisfied to have
slower trains and have them operated
on tme.-Chicago Examiner.
