INCREASED ORDERS
PLACED BY ROADS
Volume of New Business Is
Scarcely Equal to Cur
rent Shipments

New York, January 19.-The volume
of new business by the steel mills
since the first of the year has been
scarcely equal to current shipments,
but conditions indicates that orders
would be much larger If the mills could
make earlier deliveries on new con-
tracts. The railroads are constantly In
the market for new shipments and last
week placed orders for more than 5000
cars, 1853 locomotives, $4,000 tons of
rails and about 5000 tons of bridge
work
Steel building orders placed during
the week called for $4,000 tons of fab
of bridge work were submitted to rail-
roads. Very few of the fabricating
hops can make deliveries under four
to five months from receipt of speci-
fications, as the structural mills cam
not make deliveries under three
months. The most interesting struc-
tural orders last week were for trans
mission towers for power lines, in
cluding $500 tons for power lines, in
cluding 4500 tons for shipment to Utah
and $500 tons for export to Spain.
There was increased activity in
wrought iron and steel pipe. The Amer
lean Sheet and" Tin Plate company ad-
vaneed prices of black and galvanized
sheets 81 per ton for shipment over the
third quarter of the year.
Pig iron was more active and easy
in all distributing districts.

JEFF TESREAU IS
AFTER RECORD
Wants to Supplant Big Ed
Walsh as the Big League
Iron Man"

New York January 19.-Jeff Tesreau.
of the Clans is going out after the
Iron man" championship in 1913, and
Ed Walsh, of the Chicago White SoX,
who has held the title for years, will
have to work harder than ever to be
content with second place.
Season after season the Big Reel of
the White Sox entourage has toied
through a greater number of rounds
than any other pitcher in the game.
But McGraw thinks Tesreau's chances
of beating Walsh's record next year
are good.
II don't believe that Walsh or any
man that ever pitched can handle more
games in a season than Tesreau cam
states McGraw, "aud still remain effec-

AUTOMOBILE HIKE"
TO PACIFIC COAST
Army Officer at Fort Ben

Suggests Idea

Washington, January 19-Col E. r.
Glenn, Twentythird infantry, stationed
at Fort Benjamin Harrison, Ind, has
completed elaborate plans to take his
regiment on an automobile hike" to the
Pacific coast and back, and while the
war department entertains favorable views
on the general subject, this particular
project probably will not go through, as
1t would require the acquisition of large
number of trucks. Colonel Glenn's plan
contemplates the employment of not less
than 40 motor trucks.
He estimates that the regiment could
proceed so miles a day as compared with

turn the trick, but Just such a thing
might happen. 1t is argued by some
that the defeat at the hands of Mobile
was about the best thing that could
have happened to Coach Nespor's pets.
OVer-confidence in a team is at all
times disastrous, and the fact that the
b. A. c. seemed about to travel through
Two successive seasons without a sin
gle defeat may have instilled a little
more confidence into the local baslx ct
ball contingent than was productive of
best efforts. However, as that may
be, there is little doubt but that from
now ON until they tackle the Colum-
bia five, they will put forth every ef-
Tort available to show their superior-
fty over their opponents.
Already their work has improved
over that shown against Mobile, when
costly fumbles more than once proved
disastrous. The boys are taking their
work more seriously, and 1t is safe to
predict that Columbia will have a
much harder time in taking the locals
the Mobile five, which was worn by the
strain of a hard game the night be-
fore.
Local enthusiasts are by no means
losing their interest in the work of the
b. A. c. five because of its setback.
on the other hand they are pulling for

them to a severe test, there will be

lieved to be infested by rebels, an

General Zozoya at the head of federal

The dispatches further say that slSir-

Five members of the chamber of

lend them encoura cement.
Coach Nespor states that the B. A. c.
is no a team to quit because of de-
feat: they will not enter the game
with Columbia beaten before the game
because of the od1s against them. On
the other ha,nd the recent game with
Mobile thaT brought their weakness

sistent work will be the programme
for the b. A. c. quintet from now

fumbling, and work that will make
more smooth their passing and team
work, and they will enter the contest
a gainst the most powerful opponent
which they have to meet this season,
a much stronger, and more determined
team than that which lost TO Mobile
by a single point.
The game tonight will bring out the
improvements already made by their
hard practices since Thursday. The
Columbia five while team OF no
mean calibre, will hardly win from the
B. A. c., but the b. A. c. Will nave
no easy time in gaining victory. At
any rate the game will be no jocular

despite the size of the score.

GET H|TTERS, SAYS
KID ELBERFELD
Chattanooga Manager Is
After Men Who Can
ClOut the Pill

Chattanooga, Tenn, January 19.-"Get
hitters" is the slogan that Kid Elber-
field has adopted for the season OF
1913, and the Chattanooga manager an
nounces himself satifed with the team
he has in hand, except for one more
outflelder to be nailed from Detroit.
Four men who come as 800 hitters
are now in the clasp of the Chatta-
noogans-Cruise, an outfelder from the
Sally league; Massey, who led thai
league in hitting; Elston, who batted
.S17 in the International league and
Forsythe, who pas:s 'er at similar
clip in the Texas league. These four
compose the outer works.
In the infield, Coyle and Elberfield at
.275 hitters, and Elberfield noted as a
reliable hit and run man. James, who
has been nailed from the Northwestern
league. is .27S hitter in that organi-
zation. This leaves Otto Jordan the
only weak hitter, outside of the hat
teries.
Elberfeld figures that this team
should bat something like .279 in the
Southern league, and that's batting
some for this old pitchers league. In
addition to the players named, Gillespie
who was bought from Providence. and
Bowman. a local amateur. are trying
out for third; Fuller, a semi-pro, is in
the outfield. q the pitchers, Moore.
Chappelle and Covaleskie have been
added to by Grover, leading pitched
of the Blue Grass: Stark. star pitcher OF
the Duluth Minnesota Wiscon rag win
ners; Ware, who was recalled from
flpUaland Merchant who drafted
from johnson City, and Camp, an anna
teur. will report for trial, while Street,
Giddo and Hannah, behind the bat,
complete the squad.

Another fast basketball contest Is
scheduled to be pulled off at the Blr.
mingham Athletic club tonight when
the Birmingham Athletic club five
meets the aggregation from Columbia
Tenn.
Despite the fact that the local ath-
letes met defeat at the hands of Mo-
bile Saturday. they have been put
through fast pace by Coach Nespor
during the past few days, and are
making desperate efforts TO take ad-
vantage of the slim chance that yet
remains to them to tie for the cham
pionship
The b. A. C. has yet to meet the
Col6mbi FIVE, and although Columbia
had comparatively little trouble in de-
feating Mobile, the local court artists
are going to make strenuous efforts to
get away with rhe long end of the
score.
1t is easily seen that dope is very
