MOTIVE POWER;
OFFICIALS
Employees at Boston Swear
by Officials as Best in
United States"
BY CHARLES DAviDeE HEMMINe


BOSTON, Ind, Sept. 29-Superin-
tendent Darbyshire, Division Engineer
Bertram. Chief Dispatcher Knox,
Trainmaster Barker and Supervisor
Easton, officials of the Chesapeake
and Ohio railroad company, were in
Boston yesterday on a tour of inspec-
ton of the yards, the bridges, and the
maintenance OF way on the Richmond
division.
It Is not generally known that this
visit was preliminary to the doubling
Of the motive power from here to Rich
mond. The Mallet compound locomo-
tives, which have been run to this
point will now run to Richmond Each
engine weighs ESQ tons, is practically
two engines in one, has a 9S-foot
wheel base, with six augments on each
side to the cylinders. The officials
have completed arrangements for the
doubling of the freight service.
Swear by Officials"
An incident was the resolution pre-
sented to the officials from the en-
ployeS on the Indiana lines, that they
swear by the officials as the best in
the United States" The latest move
to bring out this resolution was the
granting of an increase of wages to
the machinists, the boiler-makers, and
their helpers of eight percent, and the
reduction in the working hours from
nine to eight. The skilled men will
now be paid 521a cents an hour for
eight hours, and the helpers will be
paid 251s cents an hour, The resolu-
ton gaveaa surprise to Superintendent
Darbyshire and the officials at the Bos-
ton round house.
The c. & o. employees on the Indiana
lines, patriotic to the core, have start
ed fund for the purchase of a So, 900
hospital ambulance which will be sent
to France for service in Uncle Sans
hospital brigade. The subscriptions
are entirely voluntary but on each In
diana division there has already been
shown the emulation that counts.
Each division wants to be there"
and there has been much enthusiasm
manifested among the Boston and
Richmond employees.
May Buy On InstaIIments
superintendent Darbyshire, in view
OF the second Liberty Loan bond
issue, has intimated again by bulletin
I1dI SAlplOyeS 1Hdy purchase Ll6 ponds
on installments through the company.
Monthly deductions will be made
from the payrolls as per the first ar
rangement. In the event of an en-
ploye leaving the service of the COM
pany he may either complete his pay
ments, or have the amount of his in
stallments returned.
The Fitzgerald hotel, built for the
convenience of the crews running on
this division of the c. & O., will be
opened the first of the month. The
work of furnishing the fifty-two bed
rooms is about completed
The kitchen range is being install
ed and the boiler room is finished.
The annex is ready for the reception
of the guests. The completion of the
hotel indexes the extra business done
on this division, and the necessity for
taking care Of the crews.

GAME With CINCINNATI

Early This Morning.
By JOHN A. DUGAN.

Cincinnati, Ohio. April 2.-Old Man
weather and Jup Pluv have been pretty
good to the Griffmen during their past
training and transforming trip. but these
old pals must have been out for sweet
revenge as the rain of Sunday knocked
OF money and all chances Of getting back
some OF the coin that has been spent for
this seasons training trip went for
naught.
Even the setting back the Griffmen on
this Sunday date did not satisfy Old Man
Weather. as shortly before noon today
the game scheduled at Redland Park was
called on because conditions had not
changed,
The rain OF yesterday brought on a cold
snappy spell today and the Old Fox is
sued the homework bound call. Every
athlete In the squad was anxious to an
swer the call. as most of the boys are all
In.
When Griff hiked his Regulars to Bir-
mingham from Augusta, the athletes
were in perfect shape. but this stunt OF
one-night stands has set back a few
OF the players. Many OF the boys. as a
result Of this two-day lay-off. once more
arc complaining of feeling sore. and un-
less the Nationals hit some good weather
In the Capital. all the good results OBJ
tained at Augusta may go for naught.
1t will be a broken bunch that pulls
into Terminal Station tomorrow morning,
as Grin has been putting his athletes up
at the best hotels while en- route, and to
man the boys have not felt the pres.
sure Of the high cost of living.
Although the Old Fox was handed
Jolt by not being able to play these two
games with the Red Legs he claims that
he is satisfied with the results that he
hoC aht htofy
more long jumps on their exhibition
schedule. as Wednesday night the Griff-
men and Pat Moran's Phillies will Jump
from Washington to Norfolk to play one
game. while on Saturday the first squad
will hike it to Columbus. Ohio, TO play
Joe Tinker's Columbus club.
On Sunday GrifT is confident that he
will be able to clean up on these dates.
as he has a guarantee and option on
both occasions.
Before leaving here today Griff was
to play of the now existing tie with the
Red Legs. This: game will be held on
some of date Of the two clubs during the
season.
1t is reported that the Old Fox has
been attempting to arrange some kind of
deal to purchase Mike Mitchell. the
heet-footed utility player OF the Red
Legs. but no definite arrangement had
been closed when the Nationals pulled
stakes today.
Griff is hoping for good weather in the
Capital tomorrow. as he is anxious to
show the Washington fans the makeup
Of his ball club. Griff also intends to start
some more experiments and stated to-
night that he intended to make quite
few shake-ups. both in the infield and
outfield. in the home exhibition games.
Mollie Craft. George Dumont, and
Jimmy Shaw are slated TO work in the
game against John OReilly's George

MORGAN'S YANNIGANS
DEFEAT CARDINAL Club
Alexandria Nine Lose Annual Game
by 5-to-l Score.

Ray Morgan's Yannigans journeyed to
Alexandria yesterday and met the
Cardinal Athletic Club in their annua.
game. The wind which was blowing
across the field made It difficult for the
helders to judge fly balls and several hits
that went TO the outfield would have
been outs had it not been for the wind
The Yannigans defeated the club boys by
a 5-to-1 score.
Morgan decided to play ball from the
bench yesterday, as he was hit In the
back during batting practice. putting
Plunket on the hot corner, who served
as an able substitute. In the first inning
the Yannigans were retired in one, two.
three order.
The second inning. on one hit by Memo
skey, with stolen base. a sacrifice by
Moran. an infield out, and a base on
balls. one run came over the plate. In
the third session on two hits and
2lunket's sacrifice, another run was
scoged. They were blanked in the fourth,
hut IN the fifth on three hits, one runner
crossAd the pan. After being bfanked in
the sixth the Yannigans got busy with
their bats and put over two runs the last
of the gAme
Bert GaSia. who did the mound duty
for the YaAnigans. breezed along for five
innings and was not scored on. He al
lowed one hiS in the fourth, when Mer-
chant hit to Nght field for a base, but
never travelled any farther. Bert had a
world of stun and had the Cardinals eat
ing out of his hand and sent eleven back
to the bench BY tanning the wind. HIS
control was near perfect, as he only
passed two men during the five innings
he was in the center of the diamond.
Eddie Flaherty took up the mound work
in the sixth inning and was nicked for
three hits and a run in this session.
After this one inning he was unhitable
and held the Cardinals safe for the rest
of the game. Eddie was never in dan
ger after the first inning he worked. In
the seventh he retired the side on strikes
and again in the eighth he set the side
down by causing the three men that
faced him to fan the air. In the Cardi-
mails last turn at the bat only three men
faced Flaherty and all were retired with
out man reaching first base.
Eddie Thompson, who did the hurling
for the Cardinals was touched up for
IL safe blows during the nire innings he
was on the mound, and scored upon five
times. Eddie pitched a creditable game.
as he famed eight men and issued 8
passes and not one of the walks resulted
in a score for the Yannigans
Merchant on first and "Doggie" Dole
man, who caught Thompson did the bulk
of the work for the Cardinals. "Doggie"
held up his pitcher in good style and
worked hard all through the game. Score:
