The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1917-01-15

There is no change in the 1917 pitch.
ing rules, but according to some authori-
ties, there are liable to be several changes
in the 1918 rules. One change that will
probably be made is the using of the
spitball and the practice of putting any
artificial or foreign substance on the ball
which may have tendency of changing
pitched ball from it's course. Gov.
Tenre is opposed to the use of rosin,
licorice, slippery elm and talcum powder
by the pitchers to attempt to obtain
better control of the sphere The way
Tener looks at it is that if a pitcher is
not good enough to control the ball with
out the use of artificial aid, he is not
good enough to be playing league ball
The spitball has ruined many good
pitcher, notably Big Ed Walsh of the
Chicago White Sox. Walsh was origi-
nally great pitcher, but after few
years of the spitball, he lost his arm en-
tirely. Many pitchers bluff with the
spitball, and do not put any saliva on
it at all, and others soak the cover with
it, which makes it impossible for the
fieldcrs to handle it at all.

being principally the election of officers.

very appropriate speech on the part of
the retiring president, Joseph Sanguinet-
ii, the secretary, r. Lucehina, was called
upon for his report, which displayed
substantial gain in membership and also
financially. In fact, 1916 was the banner
year of the clubs history. As everyone
must know, the aim and purpose of this
body is for the betterment of the city.

Have you a book in your library
that you are willing to give to the
soldiers? Send it to the nearest Y.

thru the national war work coun-
Gil of the Y. M. C. A. to one of the
environments on the Pacific Coast for
the use of the enlisted men.
At the three large training camps
at Linda Vista, Menlo Park and A.
merican Lake, WASH, more than 120,
600 men will be stationed and there
will be an equal number to this at
other military posts in the west.
These men must have reading mat

help in supplying them?>
Books Of fiction and drama are

the book is forwarded to the can

name on the fly leaf as donor and

RAIL ROADS SHOW BIG
ADDITION TO FREIGHT DEPT.

American railroads have achieved
the astounding feat of adding to
their freight service, in the short
space of two years, an amount e.
quail to the freight traffic of Great
Britain, France, Russia, Germany
and Austria combined. This fact
was brought out today by William
Sproule, chairman Of the Western
Department of the Railroads War
Board who summarized the results
accomplished by the organization
during the first four months of its
existence.
Information in our possession"
said Mr.. Sproule, indicates that the
voluntary act of the 693 railroads
of this country in merging their
competitive activities for the period
of the war and uniting in one con-
tinental system, has not only made
the transportation problem present
ed by the war less cumbersome to
handle, but surer of satisfactory SOL
ution.
Gin addition to welding into one
loyal army the 100000 persons en-
ployed by the railroads en-
CINE wipers to presidents-the CO.
ordination of the nations carriers
has made possible the most inten-
sive use of every locomotive. every
freight car, every mile of track and
every piece of railway equipment
in the country. 1t has also facilitat-
ed the securing of invaluable CO.
operation from the shippers and the
general public"
AS concrete instance of what has
been accomplished thru this COOP
Grafton of the railroads, the shippers
and the public since April 81, when
the War Board was created, is sum-
married. by Mr.. Sproule as follows:
Excess of untitled car acquisitions
over idle cars, or what is commonly
called car shortage, reduced 70 per
cent.
Freight transportation service in
May 1871 per cent in excess of that
rendered in 1916 which was "a per
cent greater than in 1916.
100000 miles of train service
saved for essential freight by elm
nation of unnecessary passenger
trains.
113,42O empty freight cars, irres-
pective of ownership ordered into
districts where most needed, pol
lev brand new in American railroad
ing.
Pooling of Lake and Tidewater
coal and Lake ore saved 1856, 1000 cars.
Regulated abnormal export move
ment of 75,6S2,028 bushels of wheat,
corn, barley and oats to allies from
May to July IA with no delays or
no blocking of facilities.
Secured nationwide cooperation
in intensive car loading.
Stationed trained railroad men at
every cantonment and at Washing
ton headquarters to cooperate with
the Government in transportation
plans.
Perfected plans for moving 1000,
600 men from five thousand differ
ent points to the 80 training camps
by October 20 with equipment to
fill 10000. freight cars.
Freight of all kinds is being hand
led in unexampled volume, tho rail-
roads hauling from mines alone g.
100000 more tons of fuel than they
ever carried before.
Organization, hard work and the
faithful help of the 100000 rail
road men," said Mr.. Sproule, us
making the accomplishment posi-
ble."

WHICH IS YOUR COMPANION


When the Creator had made all the
good things, there was still some
work to do-some dirty work-so he
made the beasts and poisonous in
sects and reptiles, and when he had
finished he had some scraps that
were too bad to put into the Rattle
Snake and the Hyena, the Scorpian
or the Skunk, so he put all these to-
gether, covered it with Suspicion,
wrapped it with Jealousy, marked
it with a Yellow Streak and called
it Knocker.
This product was so fearful to con-
template that he had to make some
thing to counterfeit it, so he took a
sunbeam and put in it the heart of
child and the brain of man,
wrapped these in civic pride, cover
ed it with brotherly love, gave it
mask of velvet and a grip of steel
and called it a Booster: made him
lover of fields and flowers and
manly sports, believer in equality
and justice, and ever since these two
were, mortal man has had the priv
ilege of choosing his associates.
