Owner Rick Woodward returned yes
magnates in search of pitchers. When
the Baron mogul started his voyage
to the majors, the Barons had not found
their stride and the situation was
tense However, the local gallants hit
their gait and have operated in fine
form. While Mr.. Woodward announced
that he was able to secure excellent
material a any time, he said that there
were no changes to be made at pres
ent.
AS soon as Manager Molesworth ar
rives upon the scene. the two will dis
cuss the situation and IL Manager
Mola3worth feels that strong pitcher
would aid his club. Owner woodward
will land the twirler Several pitchers
We're offered to the Barons, and If Man
ager Molesworth feels that he can use
one, he will be purchased for immediate
delivery.
I'VE are in position to land several
good men," said Mr. woodward, land
will not suffer from lack of available
material in case the club shouldr falter
While the majors want good prices
for the material. nothing Will be spared
to put the club up in the race. The
Glass AA's have previously robbed the
Southern of many good men, but they
will not pay the price demanded at this
late stage of the season.
I'VE may not strengthen the present
pitching staff. The recent squirt of the
club may convince Molesworth that his
men have hit their stride and If he
is satisfied no deals will be an
nounced. OF course, | am pleased with
the showing

2872 Solid Steel Cars For Pennsy

The Pennsylvania Railroad announces
that it will shortly have available for
use on the lines of it's system total of
2,S72 solid steel passenger cars, prob
ably more than one-half of the all-steel
passenger equipment in the United
States, and representing an expenditure
of approximately $40,000,000.
These steel passenger cars have been
added to the companys equipment since
June, 1906, when 1t was announced that
all future additions to passenger equip
ment on the Pennsylvania system would
be of all-steel construction.
The lines of the Pennsylvania system,
on all of which steel cars will be oper-
ated include the Pennsylvania railroad
lines east and west of Pittsburg and
Erie, the Long Island railroad, the Cum
berland Valley railroad. the New York,
Philadelphia and Norfolk railroad, the
Vandalia railroad and the Grand Rapids
and Indiana railway.
The Pullman Company for several
years has been constructing steel sleep
ing and parlor cars to equip the entire
Pennsylvania system. Already there are
in service 1862 sleeping cars, 121 parlor
cars, and 81 combination baggage and
parlor cars, all of solid steel construc
tion. These $50 cars are painted the
standard Pennsylvania red; there are
additional steel Pullman cars operated
on the Pennsylvania in connection with
the Southern roads. Thes are not in
cluded in the above number
The steel passenger cars on the Penn
sylvania system have been called
"dreadnaught" cars by reason or their
construction. They weigh some 11s,5OO
pounds as against $4,000 pounds In the
standard vestibule wooden coach. This
increases in weight greatly reduces the
vibration of the car, therby adding to
the comfort of passengers. The car is
-collapsible, its principal feature
being a central box girder twenty four
inches wide by nineteen deep, extending
throughout the entire length of the
coach; this girder in collisions, pre-
vents telescoping The car is fireproof,
containing only about 125 pounds of
woods, which is used for window frames
and arm rests in the seats.
In the steel equipment now IN service,
there are 1,53S coaches and combination
passenger and baggage cars, 6S dining
cars, IA baggage, 159 postal "a bag
gage and mail, II Lond Island Railroad
parlor cars, 4 miscellaneous cars, and
so Pullman cars. In addition to these
there are on order or under construc-
tion at the present time 296 steel coach
es, is steel dining cars, 25 passenger and
baggage cars, baggage, 4 postal, SS
baggage and mail, 10 Long Island Rail
pad parlor cars and one office car.
