! Harmony among the club owners is

There seems to be a consensus of opin-

limit must be summarily dealt with,
and with McGill out of the fold it Up
pears that there will be no chance for

! club owners favor earlier games this
season, and Savage, of the local club,
and Isbell, boss of the 1915 chain
pions, have already announced that
they will call their at home games at
an earlier hour in response to de-
mand of local boosters.
Regarding the pennant prospects OF
the eight clubs, it would be foolish to
make a prediction at this time Espe-
cially would 1t be foolish with so many
new players in the league. and with
every manager claiming that his team
is from so to a 100 per cent better
than last years team was.

Locomotive and Rail.

At the meeting of the Institution Of
Mechanical Engineers in Paris last
July, Anatole Mallet, the inventor OF
the Mallet articulated locomotive
called attention to the great changes
that, during the past eighty-five years
have taken place in the relative
weight of the locomotives to the
rail. Monsieur Mallet showed that
in 1929 engines that weighed
five tons ran On rails that weighed
3i.2 pounds yard; that is the
engine was 327 times the weight
of the rail a yard. In 1916 engines of
% tons ran on rails of 1852 pounds
a yard; that is the engine was 700
times the weight of the rail a yard.
Finally, in the United States, Nal,
let engine with ten coupled axles,
having 245 tons adhesive weight
has been put into service on Ill.
pound rails; that is, the engine is
1880 times the weight of the rail a
yard. incidentally, this progressive
increase in the relative weight of the
locomotive to the rail shows how
great has been the improvement in
the quality OF steel rails.-Youth' 8
Companion.
