DlsLIKEs 16-PLAYER LIMIT
On Account of Numerous injuries to
Men on His Team Manager Herr
Wants an Increase.

Eddie Herr of the Salt Lake Bees is
one manager who absolutely does not
believe in the 16-player limit. Eddie
has had several cripples on his team
during the past few weeks. and has
been handicapped in that respect so
badly that he is overanxious to see an
increase in the player limit. At the
present time the Bees are in a rather
crippled condition, and Eddie claims
that, with the great attendance going
on, there must be real playing as a
return to the fans for their generosity
in turning out to the games. Eddie
says that the leagne is drawing big
enough crowds to lift the~ban.

TANKS NOT STRANGE

Bangor, Me.,-The military tanks
that are travelling over the countrv
advertising the Victory Liberty Loan
are no strangers to the State of
Maine, for this is where they were
oorn-in the little city of Water
vile, on the Kennebec river.
In olden times oxen were mead 20
maui logs in the Maine forests, and
IN the course of years these slow
moving animals gave way to horses.
Ihen after much study and exper-
lence in logging A. O. Lombard of
Waterville conceived the idea of
building a steam propelled machine
that would on a fair sort of road
maui as many logs at a load as
could be moved by thirty horses. But
the roads seldom are half good
generally in the logging regions they
are terribly rough, up hill and down.
and Lombard contrived the so-called
caterpillar attachment, which is a
sort of endless chain arrangement
providing the log hauling machine
with track for it's wheels to run
upon.
The caterpillar tractor was a great
success and hundreds of them now
are in use all over the country. es-
pecially in the Northwest, where the
tree trunks are long and very heavy.
The idea was taken up by motor
builders and when the war came on
applied to the tanks. If the tanks
hadn't their road right along with
them they wouldn't be of much use
off a good highway
