After announcing the unconditional release of Johnny Beckman. star has-
ketball player of the New York Celtics, Manager Jim Furey stated that their
differences had been patched up and Becknmn was back in the lineup. Ac-
cording to reports. the trouble was of a strictly financial nature. which was
adiusted satisfactory to both parties. Bockman proved a tower of strength in
the double-header. played Sunday. in which the Coatsville team was defeated
in the afternoon, and the Macdowell Lyceum five met defeat in the evening
contest.
_ We are glad to see that the efforts of Charles Lindeberg, referee of the
High school games. are being appreciated. Lindeberg. in our estimation.
ranks high as an official. He knows the rules thoroughly and enforces them
without partiality to either team. and has thr- game tinder control at all times.
He referees the games through pure love of the sport and his services are
worthy of the highest praise.

The Chicf advantages posscsscd b;
the gasolin- car in comparison‘w‘ith
steam- or electrified >8ervéce were
summed up by Mr. Bean as, follows:
First. a frequent and speedy svrvice at
a low comparative cost; thc fact that
one man may serve as operator and
conductor: the elimination or the us
ual terminal facilities, sung as coal
storage. \vatcr tanks and ash pits the
greatly reduced capital investmrn? as
compared with sit-am equipment. and
finally the removal ot’ the DECPRSXIY of
operating mixed trains of freight and
passenger cars. with thc attending de‘
lays to passengers whilv freight is be—
ing hall/“Cd.
Cost of Trains.
“All of these factors mean a saving
of approximately 100 per cent. on ins
vostmcnt." continued Mr. Bean. “With
this smaller unit. “'0 also feel that we
can givt- a better and more frequent
service. and the c05t will be about onc-
half that of operating a steam train.
The initial cost of one car——that is, the
motor together with the passenger car
———is about 316.500. anvl we figure that
they will last at least twenty-five years
with proper care. A new locomotive
costs at least $20,000. while a modern
steel passenger coach costs an addi-
tional $25,000 to $40,000.
"K‘Vc can also compete with the jit—
nev ‘bus with this device." said Mr.
Bean. “While our patrons music as.-
turall)’ pay the same fares as we are
required to charge under the regulail
tions of the interstate commerce com.
mission. we have the added safety of
running on steel rails, and we are also
liable for our passengers. The cars are
built to seat from thirty-six to fifty
passengers."
; Taking the mean between 5251330
:and $40,000 as the probable cost of a.
passenger coach for a branch line. and
iadding to this the cost of a locomotive
gal $20,000, the initial cost. of a steam
ltrain is about $52.50“. The difference
lhetwecn’ithis cost and that of a gaso-
ilinc car is $36.0Mi.
l A. J. ‘Brosscau. president of the In-
itnrnationaleo‘tnr ('70.. manufncmrrm
of the new equipment. says: “Such a.
car is drsigncd for one particular field
only. and that is any branch lino
withers sir-am operation is too explan-
slve.” ~
