whirlpool as far as having anything
to say about their working arrange

They just played when, where,
with whom and for how much they
were told, and if they didn't like
those conditions they could always
change suits and get into the game
anyway. Change to the grey tweed
and get in by paying their $4.40,
that is.
They were helpless in the clutch
n the National Leagues tight little
monopoly, and now, glory be, they
see ray of light. With two leagues
at each others threats, and no cur

peace, the players suddenly find
themselves with the key to the

add napkin to that offer. And so
it will 60 on and on until one club
runs out of accessories or says to
heck with Thaddeus. BY that time
Thaddeus is assured a pretty fair
remuneration for his services, so
he takes the last offer.
The only way the two leagues can
keep Fl ON squeezing each other
dry is to get together and agree on
some rules governing the acquisi-
ton Of players. They might squab-
BILE .ver everything else, but for
their mutual protection it would
seem like common sense to draw a
line somewhere on salaries.
The players wouldn't like that,
naturally. AS things are now they
are caught in the middle, and like
it.
The New York situation is just
something of an overt act that
brought more or less open decla-
ration OF hostilities. The showdown
has been brewing for some time
with the All-America Conference
steadily progressing with its plans
and the National League studiously
ignoring the upstart.
Now, through Dan Topping throw
ing the Yankee Stadium into the
An-America League, the National
no longer can gaze frigidly straight
ahead as if nothing was happening.
A guy just can't be unconcerned
when somebody pops him on the
chin, and Topping's move was no
love tap.
For a league without football
the All-America certainly has been
making some good gains.

London Is Likely Site

He explained the Olympic faith.
ers felt that the 1886 games, held
in Berlin, were bit too grandiose
and that the 1882 games at Los
Angeles likely would be the model
of the competitions in the future.
Tours Europe
After last summers committee
meeting in London, Brunsage said
he made a tour of numerous Eu-
ropean countries and there learned
that some nations were aiding
amateur athletes almost to the
point Of subsidization and that ir
other countries athletes were
divided into clubs by political be.
iefs.
On the touchy question Of what
countries would be eligible for
Olympic competition he said that
all countries that have a national
Olmpic committee and those who
have been accepted into the com.
ity Of nations would be permitted
to participate.
Later, in an interview, he said
that Germany and Japan were moi
now in the comfy Of nations and
that Russia had no national Olym.
pic committee.
Political Influence
Brundage also said the Pan.
American games probably would
not to be held until 1850 'because
Of political unrest in various Solth
American countries. There is some
agitation for them in 1947. even
some for holding them in 1916, and
an emissary now is en- route to the
United States to discuss the situa.
tion."
Brundage's address was the high.
light Of the opening sessions of the
convention and was preceded by
various committee meetings in
which it was recommended that
the national senior boxing cham.
pions be decided at Boston on April

championship be run off at Denve,

New Type Mallet
Hauls Passenger
Train on B. g. O.
Eliminates Helper Engines, Elk
ira Crews On Third Division

Mallet type locomotives, heretofore
used exclusively in hauling freight
trains, are now being used with sue
cess in the Baltimore and Ohio rail
roads passenger service between
Cumberland and Grafton, W. Va, it
was revealed Tuesday by railroad Of
ficials.
One of the giant locomotivcs-No.
7620-has been taking train No. %
express on its westward journey from
Cumberland to Grafton and on reutrn
trip east brings passenger train No,
~ here.
The biggest advantage in using the
mallet type engines is the fact that no
helper engines or additional crews are
required on the steep mountain grades
on the Third division.
Heretofore two helper locomotives
and crews were required out of keyser
for the journey up the Sevcntcen-mile
grade while another helper and crew
was necessity at NJ. & X. Junction,
All this additional motive and man
power has been eliminated with the
introduction of the mallet type loco
motives into the passenger and cN-
press service, The powerful engines
have been pulling fifteen passenger
cars up the Sevcntccn-milc grade
without the use Of a helper
The 1900 type of locomotive is cap
able of maintaining a speed of sixty
miles an hour.
Tests have proved SO successful that
there is an indication more of the new
locomotives will be pressed into the
passenger service.
There are twenty-five 7G00's now in
the Is. & O. service, most of which are
used in hauling freight. Two Of the
ten recently ordered built at the Bald
win Locomotive Works are now in scr
vicc-7620 and 1921
