The Giants scored In the first.
and took lead OF two I'm the third.

Thomas. who went in TO relieve
Chapman in the ninth frame, had
his hands full to prevent a ninth
inning rally on the part OF the Cats.
but he got away with IL. and pre-
vented further scoring. During the
game Aberdeen connected with the
pill five times more thar did Sc.

RAILWAYS In EAST
ARE IN BAD SHAPE
No Hope for Relief at Atlantic Coast
Terminals Says w. L. Derr Of
Great Western.
EVEN SWITCH YARDS LOADED

Atlantic coast railroad terminals
have never been in such a deplorable
condition as now" asserted w. l..
Derr, superintendent OF the Chicago
Great Western railroad, who has Just
returned from month spent in New
York. Boston and other east coast
cities. Mr.. Derr came over from
headquarters at Clarion, Ia, and is
locking after some Great Western
business here. Discussing the east
ern freight situation. Mr.. Derr said:
I'm New York. Brooklyn and for that
matter. every eastern coast city, ware
for export. Not only have the buildings
and platforms been filled. but ware
house capacity back In the country has
become exhausted. The switch yards are
filled with cars loaded with grain, mer-
chandise and about everything that the
countries Of Europe now at war would
want, and still more keeps rolling In.
The worst OF II all is that there Is no
immediate prospect OF getting the stuff
out There are a few vessels In the
European carrying trade, but nowhere
near enough to apparently reduce the
stores that are constantly accommodating.
In sending shipments abroad, foodstuffs
have the righ-ot-way. they going frs
Then come the munitions and after that
there Is not much chance for general
freight<to get aboard a ship.
Re-ship TO West Coast.
I'm some instances big consignment
that have originated in the middlewest
and have gone to New York have been
reconsigned and sent by rail to Seattle
and San Francisco. with the hope that
at these points they\lnsy catch some
tramp steamer destined for Europe
However. the possibility Of getting stun
through this way is very remote.
None of the managers of the eastern
shipping lines give any encouragement as
to when the congestion will be relieved
In fact, there il no hope in sight.
."If the shipments could he gotten out
the export business would increase by
leaps and bounds. soon attaining proper
tions more gigantic than have ever been
