it make it's alignment conform more
closely to the orthodox major league
circuit?
Search US, but there is a hot tip
going around that Indianapolis is to
be deprived of membership in the
league, its team being moved to New
York. This, by some, is taken to sup
plant the report that Kansas City
was also to be relieved of member
ship in the new league, having its
team moved to either Newark or New
York city.
But if any changes are made it is
quite likely that both Indianapolis
and Kansas City will be transplanted.
Putting one of the clubs in Newark
and the other in New York would
give the Federals more compact
organization, would result in easier
jumps for the othletes and a material
decrease in railroad fare.
This latter consideration is a big
one to the treasures of the respec-
tive clubs of the league. Kansas City
to Brooklyn is a long jump, and
makes the geography of the league
very lopsided. One seasons expert
ence has illustrated this fact striking
ly for the Federal league executives.
They have come to a realization
that .compactness is necessary if their
league is to be a success. Aside from
the railroad expense item, Kansas
City is not in the big league, belt and
does not have the same sustained in

would.

BASEBALL SPORTS OF AL Sorts BOXING

The pay streak in ten-round box
ing shows is liable to peter out if pro-
moters, fighters and, their managers
continue to work the game with such
frequency.
q Freddie Welsh and Charlie White
are matched for ten rounds at Mil
WaUkee, Feb. 25. March IL, in New
York, Willie Ritchie will meet Welsh,
and April in Milwaukee, White and
Ritchie will come together. That
makes three ten-round fights be-
tween the three leading Ightweights
within a space of little over a month.
It is too much. It is about time,
if the fight public is to be considered,
for,some of these lightweights to put
in full evenings work and battle over
q distance Of twenty rounds. They
have been picking up the soft coin in
emasculated bouts long enough.
One thing is certain, the new ten
Found custom is not resulting in the
development of good fighters. The
lightweight crop is not as good as it
was few years ago and certainly
the heavyweight division is in deplor-
able shape.
Ten-roUnd fights are responsible
for the lack of a white heavy of de-
cent ability. It has been too easy for
the fighters and their managers to
grab off the coin in frequent ten
frame engagements. There has been
mo effort toward development. Today
takes care of itself and tomorrow is
left to chance.

fights are not entirely satisfactory.

with the safety devices and accommo-
dation offered to passengers. The out
door display on the siding at the east
approach of the Market street subway
consists of a massive locomotive oil
the 4-4-4 type. 1t is engine No. 112,
built in the Reading shops. A large
amount of aluminium has been used
in its construction which reduces the
weight, making it less than that of
other passenger engines of the same
size. The fireboX and CRATE surface
are probably the largest ever used in
a passenger locomotive.
Five full size models. of efficient
rail joint work are displayed by the
Rail Joint company. Data concerning
the wear and tear on improperly con-
nected rail joints together with an ex-
planation of the method the company
advocates, is given to interested per-
sons.
Old and new typewriters of all de-
signs are displayed by the Remington

are enclosed in cases fitted for dis
play purposes.
Railroad and street railways men
were interested in the devices of the
Reading Specialties Company, which
were arranged in a large booth on the
right of the first aisle, Full size mod
els of rail benders were featured to-
gether with a large set of rerailers
filter with clamps preventing them
from slipping. Trolley replacers for
derailed cars, were included in the
display which showed how efficiently
cars could be replaced on the tracks
without the aid of wreckers.
Housewives Interested
The Walter S. Schell exhibit inter-
ested the housewives particularly. A
large gasoline engine attached to the
latest type of washing machine and
wringers is demonstrated, together
with an electrical equipment of the
same order.
A complete lightweight crane, with
lifting capacity of 1000 pounds is
demonstrated in the Shepherd Electric
Crane and Hoist Company booth.

Mounted specimens of all descrip-
tions in animal, bird and insect life,
together with enlarged samples of tree

Industrial Exhibit Will
Close Tonight at 10 O'clock

The Industrial Welfare and Ef1cien-
cy Exhibit in the car barns of the
Harrisburg Railways company in
North Cameron street, opened this
morning at 10 o'clock and tonight at
10 o'clock the doors will be closed for
the last time. The crowds yesterday
and to-day increased in size. All of
the exhibitors were we'll pleased with
the success of the third annual dis
play.
The Pennsylvania Steel Company
booth is one of the most attractive. A
large frog, low and intermediate
switch stands, billet steel and the pro-
ducts manufactured from this grade
occupy prominent places in the eX-
hibit, while large framed photos show
the structural steel bridges, big plants
in Steelton and Cuba and other in
teresting features in the steel industry
of the plant.
Safety installations used by the
Philadelphia Electric Company, to-
gether with street guards used at man
holes, constitute part of the exhibit of
this firm, while signs for prevention
of accidents, and warnings of danger
Gus places, that are constantly used by
the company, also are displayed for the
benefit of less cautious concerns.

STATE WELFARE
CONFERENCE ENDS
First Aid and Industrial Edu-
cation Discussed at
Final Session

The concluding session of the con-
House of representatives last night,
EX-Postmaster r. J. Stackpole of this
city presiding. There was a large at
tendance and the evening was of
more than usual interest owing TO
the exposition of the principals of
the compensation law by Francis H.
BohIen, of Philadelphia, counsel to
the State Workmen's Compensation
Board. He has devoted years to a
study of the compensation laws of
the country and has had much to do
with the shaping of the Pennsylvania
act which will go into effect the first
of January. Incidentally he referred
to the soundness of the State Insur-
ance Fund and assured all present that
1t was an absolutely safe proposition.
Industrial Education
Robert l.. Sackett, dean of the State
College, who succeeded John Price
jackson in that institution discussed
in an interesting way the development
of industrial education with special
reference to the work that is now be-
ing done under the direction of the
State College. He also strongly rec
commended the continuation of schools
provided for by the State and dwelt
upon the necessity of every source of
education along industrial lines.
Another feature of the evening was
moving picture demonstration Of
first aid in industrial establishments,
the review of competition of this
kind at the Bethlehem Steel Works
being of unusual importance.
A telegram was read from J. Her
man Knisely of the Bureau of Statis-
tics, who is attending the National
Municipal League Convention at. Day
ton, conveying a series of compliment
tary resolutions passed by the con-
ference complimenting Governor
Brumbaugh and the Welfare Confer
ence in session here.
Businessmen Friendly
The chairman remarked in calling
the session to order that the attitude
of the businessmen of Pennsylvania
was one of friendliness toward the
important compensation scheme. He
believed the relations of employer and
employe are now more harmonious
than at any other time in the history
of the State. All that businessme en-
required was clear Interpretation of
the provision of the law which they
earnestly desired to obey in all re-
spects. In closing he complimented
the several committees upon tnelr erTl-
cient work during the session of the
conference.
Smoker at Harrisburg Club
Last night more than 100 repre-
scntatives of the exhibitors who have
contributed so much to the success of
the conference enjoyed a smoker at
the Harrisburg Club as the guests of
the Engineers Society of Pennsyl-
vania. There were toasts and some
informal speech-making and general
congratulations upon the success of
the conference and the exhibits.
Those citizens of Harrisburg who
have not yet seen the fine exhibits in
the car barns of the Harrisburg Rail
ways Company in Cameron street
should take advantage of the last op-
portunity this evening. There will be
a program of special music and the
electrical features.
