Big attendances at the games both East and West, seems to indicate that 1510 will be a red letter year in baseball. New Tork fans refuse to permit the disappoint ing- showing of their favorlties. Fifty thousand turned out Sunday to root for the Giants and Dodgers in their games at the Folo grounds and Ebbets field.

The coming National league campaign holds little joy for the boston Braves. They'll be lucky to finish higher than "they did last year. That was in sixth place. Herculean efforts of Manager

Stallings and Owner Grant to bolster uo the team by trades were in-vain for the reason that every club owner wanted Rabbit Maranville (75 per cent of the club) in any deal made. The Braves have a

good catching staff. Eudo!ph, Fillingim, Scott and one or two youngsters will give them a fair Hurling staff. But the infield and outfield will be weak. Maranvilla is the only star in either section

Regarding the statements that in the event the Shamrock 111 proved faster than the "hallenser, Shamrock IV, in the trials, he would ask the New Tork Tacht Club to b" allowed to substitute the older boat in the race for the America's cup. Pi Thomas L.ipton declared to the Associated Tress: 'I have never dreamed of suggesting such a course. I am fully aware that having challenged with the Shamrock IV, I can not race any other boat against the American defending jacht without issuing another challenge in accordance with the rules covering the contest.-'

I New Equipment to Relieve Our Car Shortage

A RAILROAD 13 worth to you what it can give you in transportation service. Our system, like all the railroads of the country, is short of rolling stock, and this problem is yours as well as ours. The cost of railroad inability to handle traffic falls directly on business men and indirectly on the public at large. A considerable element in the maintenance of the present hig h prices is the lack of cars for prompt and adequate movement of foodstuffs, raw materials, builders' supplies and manufactured articles. We have arranged to acquire new equipment which will cost $48,318,300. This will include:

196 locomotives 4000 all-steel box cars 4000 coal cars 994 stock cars 250 refrigerator cars 1 1 mail cars

103 all-sicel passenger coaches 80 all-steel baggage cars' 30 milk cars 12 all-steel combination car3 1 5 multiple unit electric passenger can 12 all-steel dining cars

We are rebuilding 1000 coal cars now out of service, at a cost of approximately $2,000,000, adding that number of 55-ton all-steel coal cars to our equipment. It is hoped to have a large part of this new rolling .stock in service next fall. WE would like to buy more equipment. We need it and your business next fall will require it, if handled according lo the standard of our service before the war. But with the money market as it i3 at present, and with expenditures of $50,000,000 more contemplated for improvements and extension of facilities which also will have to be financed by borrowing, we are not in position "now to order more than the equipment we have contracted for. 4 RAILROADS today are the bottle-neck of the industrial world. Once they were developed beyond the demands on them. Now industry is being retarded because they cannot meet the demands. The bottle-neck must be widened or the pressure on it reduced. It is unthinkable that industrial expansion should be checked a a time when intensive production is so urgently needed. Therefore railroad facilities must be improved and increased to be adequate to industry's ever-growing demands. This is j-our phase of the problem. We submit for the serious thought of those most directly concerned, "the business men of the nation, the subject of aid to railroad development by investment in railroad securities. Our lines are doing, and will do. their best to serve 3ou. But we, as all the railroads, need the co-operation of the public.
