Plans are being made for the annual
clash of the Bankers and Lawyers
baseball mines and although the date
of the game has not been decided up
on, it is expected that it will be in the
near future. Both the Lawyers and
the Bankers have an abundance of

James Boyle and Erldon Turner will
probably do the twirling for the Law

hind the bat. The Bankers battery
will probably be Robert Partridge and
Charles kinsman.

Drawing Fast Trains Between This
City and Reading.

Back from Atlantic City, where It was
on exhibition for the benent Of the rail
road mems convention. "11O" is pulling
fast passenger trains between Phlladel-
phia and Reading for the Philadelphia
and Reading Railway, Known officially
as Engine No no. and technically as
Reading 4-i-4 type" this monster, which.
with the tender, weighs 800. 500 pounds, is
the newest thing possible In locomotives.
One of the most remarkable features
of II Is that the axles are hollow. Ans
other departure is that aluminium has
been used to reduce the weight of the
frame and allow every pound of extra
weight possible to be put into the boiler
which carries 240 pounds pressure.
Instead OF the ordinary reversing lever
there is cable reversing mechanism
operated with a hand wheel which
mechanism is so arranged that a mere
operation OF II is sufficient to tell the
driver whether his valves are dry or suf-
ficienty fabricated.
Each driving axle carries weight of
70, 100 pounds and the driving wheels are
80 inches in diameter over the tires The
tractive effort equals $4,000 pounds and
the factor of adhesion is only 399,
Four Of these engines have been ordered
from the Reading shops and will be tested
by actual service before the orders are
increased. officers of the Philadelphia
and Reading Company feel that the de-
signers have worked out a practical en-
gine and for that reason four were |
ordered at once instead OF the ordinary |
single engine when an experiment is de-
sired.

hit of the season.

wander thusly. The weapon, which
looked as though It might have been car

along.
And he was Just in the mood for such
things, for the spirit of herolsm was

ancient blade and swished It through the
