Philadelphia, Pa, April 26.-For four
innings to-day Chief Bender and Bob
Groom engaged in a pitchers battle.
which had the 400 spectators at Shibe
Park guessing on the result, but the tall
Indian proved the better slayer, and
when Groom weakened in the fifth the
Athletics put five runs across the plate
which clinched their victory. Washing
ton managed to squeeze q couple of runs
over in the ninth, escaping shut-out,
but losing the second game of the series
by 4 score OF to .
Both pitchers started off as if they
werc going after the record for strike
outs. Groom almost kept pace with tn"
Indian 70" three innings. and it seemed
rs if the cxertion sapped his skill, for
ne weakened a little in the fourth. and
then blew up entirely in the fifth. 4
double play prevented the Athletics scor-
ing in the fourth. when two scratch hits
pat runners on the bags. Two passes,
three hits, and an error figured in the
five runs, and a couple more would have
been added hut for a sensational one
hand catch of Davis terrific drive, which
robbed the Champions captain of a pos
sible home run.
Bender Is InyincihIe.
Bender vas in winning form and pitched
ma gnih@ently from start to finish.
Washington hit him rather freely in the
early innings. but with men on bases.
Bender tghtened up and the visitors
were unable to hit wher an opportunity
was offered TO score. Bender got one or
more strike-outs in eacn OF the first seven
innings, and in four Of the seven he
retired two batters on strikes, having a
total Of twelve TO his credit.
Milar's catch of Davis drive and
catch OF a foul fly off the grand stand
b. Ira Thomas were the only fielding
fec lures of the game. After the fatal
fifth inning, Washington played stupidity
in the field and on the bases the last
two runs scored by the Athletics being the
result of poor work by the visitors and
questionable decisions by the ump.res.

Poultry for Profit

Things that cost the most, in
houses, clothes, vehicles and eatables,
are frequently of less real benefit
than things simpler and less expens-
i've. Think it out. Ask yourself
whether there is a real reason for
your expenditures or whether you
are just vain imitator of other
vain imitators all the way back to
the painted savage.
The best way to start poultry-rais-
ing is to garden the first year and
raise a few chickens with hens, just
as your grandmother did. Next year
get an incubator and some pure-bred
stock, and then grow as fast as you
can to make it pay. The writer has
visited hundreds of poultry farms
and nine out of ten of the failures
are those which had plenty of money
to start on. The successful ones
grew in the business, SO that each
item of equipment was shaved clos
to the line of actual necessity al1d
thereby made to pay for itself. Tne'
city man fails in the poultry businSss
because, following his business -
perience, he secures his equipment uf
fancy quality. An implanted soApe,
box of cracked corn looks as goodstQ
a chicken as the fanciest food iH n
patented hopper, and the differenoe
in costs between the two is whef4l
the profits come in.-From "Physicel
Culture" for May. .S~s.

HOW ELECTRICITY is MEASURED

Few of us, outside of engineering
circles, know how that mysterious
servant, electricity, is measured. We
only know that the regular monthly
bill calls for "1567-1543-24 XIV.
hr. for which please remit $2.40.'
Many of us have gone done cellar
or up in the attic, with a lighted
candle to stare with mystified wonder
and profound awe at the little me.
chanical meter with its Incompetent.
sible dials and unreliable figures
only to wonder what it was all about
The fact is that electricity, OF
strictly speaking, electric energy, IL
measured in kilowatt hours. A kilo-
watt hour is practically the same as
one and one-third horsepower hours
since TAG watts equal one horse-pow-
er. The watt is rate of work just
as a horsepower is rate of work.
One tells how hard the dynamo has
to work, while the other tells how
hard horse or engine has to work
to produce the required energy.
The measurement of electric power
may be simply explained thus: The
current enters the house and GER
tain fraction passes through small
motor contained in what is called a
meter" The moving part of the
motor, or armature, is connected to
an ordinary counter, such as used
on bicycles, gas meters and auto
mobiles. This system of toothed
wheels is arranged to counte the
number of watt hours of electricity
A thousand watt hours is called a
kilowatt-hour. The prefix "kilo" al
ways means 1000. A kilowatt-hour
costs ten cents. If the result is de-
sired in horsepower hours it Is
only necessary to remember that a
kilowatt-hour is the same as one and
one-third horsepower hours.
The wattmeter Is peculiar in that
1t measures power cnsumed. An In
stument which measures the quantity
I electricity, or "juice," is known as
an ammeter, because quantity OF
electricity is always measured in am
peres. An instrument which meas
ures the pressure which drives the
electricity is called voltmeter since
electric pressure is measured in volts

ELECTRICITY ON A VIRGINIA
PLANTATIOS

On the eastern slope of the Alleg-
hany Mountains in the historic state
of Virginia, is located tract Of roll
ing upland, consisting of about eleven
thousand acres, notable as the ances-
trail home of Thomas Ryan, the we'll
known American financier. The
homestead is at Oak Ridge, Nelson
County, on the Southern Railroad
between Charlottesville and Lynch
burg, and the thousands of acres,
huge tracts of cultivated lands, broad
meadows and wooded knobs spead
out over hill and dale to the foot OF
the dark mountains on the west. The
buildings have been restored and en-
larged, the plantation has been thor
oughly electrified and made a model
even for this advanced agricultural
age, and the rolling hills, which are
under cultivation, have been made
game preserves where the wild life
of Virginia can find refuge safe and
recure.
But recently this large plantation
was equipped within complete cleo
trical system SO that the buildings
are now flooded nightly with an
abundance of electrict light and there
is plenty of electric power to drive
the farm machinery, to operate the
dairy, to manufacture ice and do the
other endless chores familiar to farm
work. Without this modern power
sysem 1t would require large num-
Der Of men and horses to do the work
about this large plantation. Now the
working energy of eighty horses, Of
five hundred men. is confined in one
power room where it can be instantly
dispatched, with the speed Of light
ming, in any amount desired to do
the hard work about the farm and
the many farm buildings.
The main power house, located
near the barn building, is OF stone
construction, with concrete floors,
