With races in the bin leagues fust drawing to u close managers are looking toward prospects for next year, with the class of new playing talent picked up in the minors holding an important place. Kvery year word comes to the east of phenomenal hall players in the minors. Purchases, up to the present have lieen very few and only players of extraordinary r.bilily have been picked off by the scouts. Some of these al ready have reported, while others arc being held for delivery at the open ing of the training season next year. The big minors, the American as sociation, the International league and the Pacific Coast league, will sup ply the greatest amount of real ma terial, as usual. In the American association, there are a number of ball players who look like real finds. Anion these is pitcher Nick Carter, purchased from Indianapolis by the Cubs for early delivery.

Naw oTk who was held by the Cleveland Amer icans at the beginning of the present season and turned over to Indianapo lis with hardly a trail. He was the best pitcher in the association, this year. Outfielder Joe Kelly is another In dianapolis player taken by the Cubs and there is a probability that Pitcher Victor Aldridge of the Indians also will be snapped up. Kansas City has sent Chuck Wort man to the Cubs. Jimmy Midtlleton, former burler for Louisville, has been sent to the Ciants, n:id Inficld er Joe Iconard of the Columbus club has reported to Cleveland. Minneapolis and Washington are carrying on their usual interchange, with a trial for Karl Yingling and Mike Menoske being assured. Mike Kegan, star hurler for Kansas City, is certain to make a trip to the maj ors, ami Pitcher Pierce of Toledo may get another chance. In the Coast league there is a wealth of good material. Portland offers Willie and Southwoitli, out fielders, Louis (iuisto, first baseman, and Allen Solhron, pitcher. Guisto has been sold to Cleveland, and is on the way. Oakland has Martin, a pitch er. San Prancisco expects to dispose of Pig Ilodie, outfielder, and Johnny Couch, pitcher. Salt Lake has I'irst Hasenion Huntiy Hiief and Pitcher Kittery. Los Angeles offers Catcher Hassler, Pitcher llorstman ami Out fielder Wolter. Vernon has three stars in Infield ers Mi'liaffigan, Hisberg anil Hates. Of the trio McCiiiffigan is the least likely to go up. He is an excellent fielder, hut his disposition on the dia mond handicaps him greatly. Would-be baseball moguls can get all the baseball they want by a trip into the Western league. There are eight clubs in the circuit and seven of them are on the market for most any old price. a A prominent scientist, in a paper dealing with steel used in the manu facture of motor cars, made the fol lowing statement recently: "The heat -treatment of steel in a way is the most important operation to which it is subiected. There can be no unimportant details. It is essential that the work be done by skillful men, I supplied with accurate pyrometers nnd well designed ami constructed furnaces capable of maintaining a un iform heat and of being properly regulated." Which seems to have expressed precisely the opinion of Dodge Brothers. Not only do they insist, upon expertness in every branch of the heat-treating department, but they see that scientific research work precedes the actual heating, so that there may be no error in determining in advance the exact degree of heat to which a bar of steel should be sub jected to give it the proper wearing qualities. i Kvery different kind of steel, for every different part of the car, must be put through the research test to determine what degree of heat is best adapted to its quality and to its func tion in service. To determine that de gree, hundreds of sampled specimens of steel are heated at different tem peratures in small electric furnaces. The results of tests on these speci mens, as made by various types of special instruments, are used in de termining the exact treatment to be used in regular production, l'or in- , stance, one of the first tests which a piece of steel undergoes atter emerging from the electric furna.'e, is the Prinnell test for hardness. Klectric furnaces are used because electricity, more so than other fuels, may be regulated to a final point of exactness. The heat is confined within a drum or shell, heavily in sulated. The pyrometer attachment will record as high as 18(H) degree Fahrenheit. After it is heated, the steel is cooled, either fast or slow, i:i one of the numerous different solutions standing nearby. Kvery step of the long nnd careful process is a step in the direction of the exceptional durability that has given the Podge Brothers motor car; its high standing among motor car buyers.
