ELE g TRIO RAIL WAY
HISTORICAL SKETCH

ley lines up to that time; indeed, i
was the frst effective demonstration
!of the trolley system as a practica
commercial enterprise,
Considerable progress was mad,
by Others during 1888. Bentle,
and knight equipped Observatory
Hin line in Allegheny, Pa, and the
Thompson-Houston Company, which
had absorbed the van Depoele inter.
ests, made its first demonstration al
Revere Beach, Mass.
Bickemeyed put into operation al
Long Island City electric cars driven
by combination OF side rods and
gearing. Steinmetzs was associated
with Eickemeyer during his later de.
velopments of the slde-rod drive
without gears.
Shortly after this the Bentley
Knight interests were absorbed by
the ThompsonIHouston Company.
In 1890 the Sprague Electric Rail-
way mad Motor Company was abb
sorbed by the Edison General Elec-
trio Company.
Limitations impossible by the
characteristics of the early motors
had led to general use of double
reduction gearing which was recog-
nized to be a disadvantage on ac-
count of both its inetiiciency and the
noise. In 1890 Parshall, then with
the Wenstrom Company, designed a
motor which by reason of its more
powerful and slower speed armature
made the use of the single reduction
gear practicable. Following this,
in 1884,, all of the manufacturing
companies discontinued building
double reduction motors and
brought out motors with single
gear reduction, which has been the
standard type gearing since that
date.
The series parallel controller,
which effected a material reduction
in the energy required by the car,
and also the enclosed fran railway
motor. we're developed by the Thomp-
son-Houston Company in 1892. 1t
was during this year that the
Thompson-Houston Company and
the Edison General Electric Com
pany were merged into the General
Electric Company.
The pioneer work with the trolley
car had been accomplished and cleo
trio railways were now accepted as
new and better mode of transporta-
ton.

WILL THIS CITY
KEEP BALL TEAM?
BUSINESS MEN MUST SUBSCRIBE
TO BALL FUND OR WE LOSE A
WINNING TEAM.

The meeting called by President
Hills for last night to make arrange
ments to take care OF the salaries OF
the Ardmore ball players that will be
due in a few days, was frost only
a few persons being ON hand. Ard
more has a good ball team and they
have been playing splendid ball for
the past few weeks. II IS team any
town should be proud Of We iari-
ally supported the team in the early
part of the season when they were
not playing as good bah, and now that
We are in the winning why not every
one interested in baseball come
through" with a small amount and
helm keep the team. Business men
in this town who are benefited many
dollars bv the ball team do not con
tribute one cent to its support. There
is not only one of them but many or
the business men. They probably do
not think that it amounts to anything
TO have a good ball team or tnat they
spend any money in town, but the
players all spend their salaries about
as fast as they get them. They haN e
IN patronize clothing and cry sooc7
stores. They also have 10 eat and this
indirectly helps the srocers as the
keepers of the hotels and restaurants
must buy groceries. Almost enough
money was subscribed sometime ago
to care for the ball team. but some
of those who subscribed have not paid
and the management again find them
selves confronted with the problem OF
paying the salaries OF the boys, and
no money in the treasury.
Ardmore can not afford to give a
ball team this kind Of support. Let
every man in the city who is interest
ed in the sport get a move on himself
and notify the committee that he haf
some "silver" that he wants to donate
to the support of the Ardmore bal
! team.
