PATENT
Does Peterson Gas Alarm
Company Of Clafks-
burg, w. Va.

. .IHl- + 4. y
Peterson Gas Alarm Company OF
elarltsl9prg has Just received from
the patent ONCE At Washington the
fnal papers A the patent which they
have secured on the Paterson Gas
Alarni. With this detaII completed
the gas alarm Win sc placed On the
market without further. delay.
q viii be Remembered that this
patent was perfected some months
ago and the nrm was organized un-
der 2 West virginia charter. It being
composed OF Messrs. Edmund Huglli,
Albert s. Could, and Dr.. Fleming
Howell and others. After applying
for the patent they began maHutac-
turing the alarms ana have already
sold them tllropshont the country.
Since the alarm has been placed on
the market the patentees have re-
celged many letters OF endorsement OF
It from the various cities over the
country where natural gas is In use.
These letters of endorsement ere com
ing from the infringement Of the gas.
companies and from the officials OF
the cities where they have been tn
stalled. These men are accommodating
the installation Of the alarm In every
home where gas is used.
The alarm is neat little arrange
ment which is placed just back OIL
the gas light OF on the gas line any
place in the house where the alarm
can be heard by the occupants Of the
home at any time in daytime or night.
The gas pressure, while normal, pre-
vents the bell from ringing and the
instant that the pressure leaves the
alarm sounds. This awakens the oc-J
cupants Of the house so that they can
shut the gas off from all fires and fix
lures and thus prevent being asphix-
lated or losing their lives in the ex-
plosion which would most assuredlyI
occur when the gas came on again,
and you light match to see what is
wrong.
There has been number OF homes
destroyed and lives lost during the
present winter season over the coun-
try as a result OF the gas failing dur
ing the night and coming on again
without notice to the consumers.
These accidents would have been pre-
vented in every instance had the gas
alarm been installed where they oc-
Cured.
During the present winter there has
been number Of explosions along
the gas lines in this vicinity which ne
cessitated the turning of of the gas
by the company While there has
been no serious accidents in this i'm
mediate vicinity 1t is little short OF a !
miracle that such has been the case.
One fact which makes the gas
alarm essential in the home is that it |
is during the coolest winter weather
that the gas fires are allowed to blu
in the room at night, and 1t is during
this severe weather that the gas lines
are most apt to so wrong and thus
shut the gas supply off.

nlcatlons to 225 N. Chestnut st.

 POWER BEHIND THE THRONE
BY w. S. FARNswoRTH

five more days before he saw his man pitch again. This time Caldwell won 14-inning game by a score of 1 to 0. and the scout signed him that night.
 During my trip south with the New York American league club this season witnessed the Cleveland. New York and Chicago teams of the American league and the Boston team of the National league in action. and want to say that all four look immense.
 Fred Penney has bunch of youngsters who are going to cause heap of trouble in the father organization. While I to rot look for them to finish in the first di- vision I wouldn't be surprised if they ended the season in fifth position.
 The Cleveland club I saw perform against the Redlegs in Cincinnati and must say that Jim Mcclure has a cork ing good club. He has a swell bunch of twirlers, his infield is fair, and has an outfed that has been strengthened 100 per cent by the addition of Joe Jackson. the sensational outfielder who was with the New Orleans club of the Southern league last season.
 The White Sox look to be very even- ly balanced team. Jimmy Callahan, after many years absence from organized bail, Is as fast as ever In center field and look for him to clout 300 average all season.
 Duffy has q wonderful staff of twirlers and every man of them is in perfect con- diton. They are likely to get away to 8 flying start, because of their good condi- ton and gain such lead that it would be a hard task to overhaul them.
 The Yankees have added much strength to their pitching staff and with either fl- liott or Johnson at third base they are much improved at that station.

MOWREY, IN CASE HE ARRIVES, WILL LEAD OFF IN BATTING AND MARCAN WILL FOLLOW MGILVRAY

The Barons and the Billikens, after resting on their arms yesterday, are ready again to take up their baseball argument this afternoon.
 Manager Molesworth announced last night that his battery this afternoon will be Sexton, pitcher, and Pratt catcher. Manager Dobbs did not make posi- tive statement, but the chances are that Savidge will pitch and Flint will receive. Lelivelt, however, may get the commits sion. as he is in perfect trim and anxious for work
 Manager Molesworth stated that he expected Outfielder Mowrey to arrive this morning. In case he does he will go into rightfeld.
 Should Mowrey get in the game Molesworth said, he will lead off in the hitting. Marcan will then follow Me Gilvray."
 If the weather is fair today it Is ex- pected that the attendance this after noon will be large, about 5000. Baseball fever Is raging in Birmingham, and as many of the fans on account of the coll ness of the weather were denied the privilege of witnessing the opening game, 1t is positive that they will take advan- tage of whatever sunshine occurs this afternoon.
 The Billikens are not at all downcast on account of their defeat Saturday. They stat that they simply had one of those bad days which every team has, and that they will come strong this afternoon.
 Sexton the Virginia league recruit has shown class in the practice season, and
  fans are expecting him to win a victory today The game, as usual will start at 3:3) o'clock

PELICANS DEFEAT SEAGULLS,
 BY CHANGING THE BATTERY
GAMBLERS PLAN TO
 ENTER BASEBALL
Form a Scheme to Make Books for the Ma
 tiOnal Game

New York, April 6.-(Special. )-Gam- blers who have lost beaeuse they could not arouse betters to interest themselves in running races at Jamestown and Pen sacola, have turned to baseball with the opening season, and already handbook men and others are preparing to drag the great American sport into the betting ring.
 Betting schemes which have been known in Pittsburg, Boston and Buffalo for some years, are being introduced here, and it is likely they will be followed by attempts to make books at the grand stands.
 1 Hand book men who operate on Broad way from Forty-sixth street down to Fourteenth began to take bets on tic results of games with the very first con | test of the season. Ticket speculators, whom the new ordinance have driven to cover and trouble have also gone into the business.
 Enright, the commissioner, who handles much money on races and acts for pool rooms here and in Cincinnati, has pre- pared the most comprehensive scheme of all. He has solicitors out seeking clients for a weekly pool on the number of runs made by clubs in the American and Ma tional leagues.
 He has figured out that 150o combina- tions of four clubs of IS In the two leagues may be made and ticket on each of these sold for S1 will bring in slo0o a week. Here is the list of prizes his so- licitors have offered:
 First prize, on highest total of runs trade during six days play by a combi- nation of four clubs, $500
 Second prize for second highest total made by combination of four clubs, s1oo
 Third prize, $50.
 Booby prize, for lowest number of runs made by combination of four clubs, $50.
 Daily highest score of a combination, $40
 Daily lowest score, s1o.
 Thus the gamblers can pay out only $500 a week out of the $500 taken in, that gives them a percentage of between 70 and l9O per cent.
 "Maybe there are betters in New York who will like that kind of a game said a gambler. There are more farmers Tn u is city than in any agricultural state in the union. and such plan ought to prosper But when you consider that in | faro bank the player has less than one l half of 1 per cent against him. and in roulette he has between to per cent against him, can you imagine how a sane man will prefer to lose his money | against such a bunk and still keep away l from faro layout"

doubt but that Schettler will be one of the stars of the circuit.
 But the Barons, in the present condi- ton, are not weak.
 President R. H. Baugh returned last night from his pilgrimage to New York and Philadelphia
 He reached the east about the time the deal for the Philadelphia players was the trio to Birmingham.
 While in the east he saw several of the major league games.
 They were intetrestering, all right said MT Baugh, "but somehow I did not enjoy them as much as one in which the Barons are engaged"
 When he read yesterday morning that Birmingham had defeated Montgomery Saturday, he was delighted, naturally.
 Montgomery is represented by a good team this season.
 Dobbs has several first-class pitchers, a number of we'll seasoned and experienced infelders and outfielders, and several men who can hit the ball hard.
 The team might not win the pennant. But 1t is a good team. just the same and will bear waching.
 And the greatest asset of the Mont gomery team is our old college chunl, Honest" Bill Stiekney. It's pity there are not thousand such men in this league H. W. R.

Barons and Billikens Play Today

When the ambitious scribe of Chatta- nooga, he with a perchant for dreams, won the Southern league pennant for the Look outs back in March, there was a laugh which went around the territory like the dinner bell of England around the world.
 But will R. Hamilton has outdone the Chattanooga reporter.
 Ham has not only won the Southern league pennant for New Orleans, but he has played New Orleans against Minne- apolis, 1911 pennant winning club of the American association" for the champion ship of the minor leagues.
 Furthermore, Ham" has defeated Mill neapolis and crowned Charlie Frank the Connie Mack of the minors.
 New Orleans has won couple of games already-but the end of the season is a long way off.
 Before the conclusion of the current week Birmingham will be much stronger than it is today.
 It is expected that Joe Mowrey, the feet-footed rightf1elder purchased from Philadelphia, will reach the city this morning and go into the game this aft ernoon against Montgomery.
 Mowrey will add to the hitting strength of the team. and to the base stealing and run-getting ability of the team.
 Pitcher Schettler, who. en route to Bir- mingham, stopped over in Pittsburg where his wife is i'll, will arrive in the next few days. His coming will round out the pitching staff There Is hardly a
