The Long Island Railroad has placed^brders for 10 double-deck
coaches for use on. the Montauk branch, according to David R.
Ei George, publicity representative for the railroad, who spoke at a

Firemen's hall. t George said
the road proposes to use the 10
cars along _with three now in use
•on the Montauk branch to rWke
an- all double-deck train.
| . Pointing -out that the Montauk
f. line is the most heavily traveled
|-of any branch on the Long Island,
} Mr. George said -the particular
r train on which the three double-deckers
are used, operates at the
peak hours. The new coaches
will rovide 80 per cent, greater
seating capacity than regular
coaches, he said.
Delivery of the new coaches is
being held up by a strike of elec-.
trical manufacturing workers who
turn out-propulsion equipment, ac-cording
to Mr. George, who said
strikes also are holding up delivery
or spare parts for cars now in
ehopa awaiting repairs.
"When the double-deckers are
delivered and parts become avail-able
for repairs of cars we—will
have 4,000 additional seats for the
riding public," he said.

The Freeport High school base-ball

an 8-2 decision to Mepham in n
Section One, South Shore league
contest.
It was a tough defeat for Ros

hits but his mates committed six
errors in the field behind him and
practically gave Mepham the gamp
in the fourth inning when the
Buccaneers gbt six big runs.
Freeport got off to a flying start
picking up two runs in the bottom
half of the first frame. McKenna
walked and stole second. Dave
Hotalihg then unloaded a home
run to put the Red Devils in front
2-0. However, as the game de-veloped
that' was all the scoring
that the Red Devils were to do for
the night as Al Neimeth settled
down and pitched scoreless ball.
In the fourth, Caulfield was safe
on Callahan's e r r o r. Palidino
singled and Petry walked. A double

error and a wilk to Cutita followed.
