Surveys were made the past week

by the IGhho Consolidated Power Co.
fand plans are now being drawn by
, architects for the building and plans
}for the machinery to be installed
tare also being drawn and will be
submitted to the company within a
short time. Plans for the installa-
tion of machinery capable of develop
ing 10000 horse power are being
worked out, both with horizontal and
perpendicular wheels and 1t is the
intention Of the company to place
the best machinery possible i'm the
new building
I Work is expected to commence
\ on the building early i'm the spring,
as it is absolutely necessary to en-
large the plant soon, for at times
the present plant is carrying all the
load capable of development, and as
the load is gradually increasing, it
is necessary to enlarge to meet the
demands. Several extensions are
being planned which will be worked
out as soon as the capacity of the
plant is enlarged to be able to sup
ply the current. To the north via
Aberdeen to Blackfoot is cne and
into the Rockland valley is another.
:. The lime runs now to Backfoot via
Pocatello, but it is the desire of the
company to have a circuit either
way so that trouble on the line in
any direction would not interfere
with the service at any piont where
the current is supplied
This undertaking on the part Of
the company will mean the expendl

known to the art OF pitching. and Baker
wailoped them all. The defeat of the
G1ants can be told in three words: TOO
MUCH BAKER
In addition to the productive xwats
that counted in the series, Just TO show
that these weren't accidental punches,
baSer also slammed a long drive on the
Polo Grounds that Murray caught against
the wall Of the right field stands, hit a
me drive into the right field stand at
the POLO Grounds in the first game that
went just few feet foul, and during
batting practice walloped three over the
night held fence at Shibe Park, Phila.
delphia. As an illustration of the kind
OF whacl that is required to 20 over
this long right field wall at Shibe Park,
Is only necessary to cay that in the
history OF baseball at these grounds but
tour other players have ever succeeded in
hitting ball over this wall; Murphy of
lne Athletics, teammate OF Bakers,
Crawford Of Detroit. Cree of the New
York Americana. and Ea.terly of Cleve-
land. During this time Baker has
hit fiiftten fair bits over this wall for
circuit clouts. eleven Of them dur
ing the season just finished, and
IN the game against Detroit in which
the Athletics cinched the American
League pennant Baker hit two home
runs over this wall in the one game.
In the face OF this evidence there ia
no chance to spring that over-worked
iucky'punch' stuff in connection with
the recent Worlds Series.
Baker has always been q long hitter
ever since he first grabbed baseball
bat and faced an opposing pitcher. Born
on farm at Trappe, Md, on March
IL, 1856. he first entered the limelight
OF the baseball world with the Risley,
Md, team in 1908. Charlie Herzog, who
played third base against him for New
York during the recent series was his
first manager, Herzos going to Bakers
farm at Trappe on the recomm endation
OF Rsley man who operated a saw
mill at Trappe, and procuring him to
play third base on the Risley team for
the mnnificent sum of Ave dollars per
week Baker never played more than
one season with any team he signed with
until ne joined the Athletics, his pro-
motion being rapid. and the faster the
company he joined the better he played
Il was also Herzog who recommended
Baker to Cambridge. Md, with whom
he played in 1907 and 'OS, being a team.
mate of Herzogs and the late "Si'
Nichols OF Baltimore. In 1908 he Joined
the Reading team in the Tr-State League
whence he was drafted by Connie Mack
in the fall OF 1908. Baker is one OF
the quartet OF youngsters secured by
Mack in the same season, and which he
has developed into what all critics de-
clare TO be the most effective infield that
ever graced the diamond. McInnis, Col
