LARRY DOYLE IS GRADUATE
 OF THE THREE-I LEAGUE

One of the most gifted of the grad uates of the IlIinois-Iowa Indiana
 commonly called the Three-I League which by the way starts its 1912 sea- son tomorrow-is Larruping Larry Doyle now one of the bright particu- lar luminaries of the National League. In the uniform of a New York Giant MT. Lawrence Doyle has made bril- liant record as second baseman and nifty swatter, and is rightly regarded as one of the big finds of the Ameri- can national game. ,Caseyville, Ill., which was probably named after the well-known Casey of "at the bat'' fame-was the birthplace of Larry, that interesting event taking place some twenty-seven years ago. As a boy he toiled in the coal mines of H. linois, playing ball on Sundays with back-lot team. Tom Kinsella, own CT of the Springfield. H., club in the Three-I, is given credit for the discov- cry of Doyle. He began his career with the club of the Illinois capital city about six years ago. In 1907 he developed so rapidly that he fairly set the league on fire, and he was the sen- sation of the circuit. The fame of Doyle was spread abroad and reached the ears of one John McGraw, a party who has peculiarly sensitive hearing when news of baseball phenom is mentioned. McGraw himself, incl dentally, had once played with the H. linois and Iowa league in Cedar

ELECTRIC LIGHT VS.
 KEROSENE OIL

With the increasing cost in the nec- essaries of life, the advertisement of the United Illuminating Co. on an- other page will be welcomed by many property owners as an item of great news value as we'll as striking ad- vertisement. The price of electricity has been reduced. Under the new schedule of prices it will bring the cost of home lighting down to the minimum; in fact, it is doubtful if kerosene oil could be used with great of light efficiency, cleanliness, ab- sence of disagreeable odors, etc, are considered, the idea of a comparison of cost is absurd. Ten years ago prophecies were made to the effect that electricity would supersede oil for light, steam for power, the horse for travel and coal for fuel Today that prophecy is practically fulfilled.
 In the spacious quarters of the Uni- ted illuminating Co.,. will be found every electrical contrivance immagin- able, including washing machines, coffee and tea pots, coasters, chafing dishes, flat irons, boilers, cook stoves, fans etc And when the fact is con- sidered that these very necessary and useful articles may be used with real economy: that their cost is small compared to their convenience and eff ficiency: that there is absolutely no loss of current in using them the equipment of the home with full outfit becomes a v1tally interesting matter to the housewife.
 Anv of these articles may be seen at the show rooms Broad street and competent and obliging sales clerks will demonstrate them to any inter ested partieS.-adv.

NO MORE LOUD
 COACHING AT YALE
Only Captain and Catcher Will Be
 Allowed to Talk On Field.

According to 'The Yale Alumni weekly Frank Quimby, who is coach ing the baseball nine at New Haven this year is working a reform that is sure to be most acceptable to those watching the game. Speaking editor ially. it says:
 Talking in the field-'yapping'' as 1t is usually called in baseball vernacu- lar-is now ruled out as bad manners. Only the catcher and the captain are allowed to talk now in Yale games when Yale is in the field. Again the new graduate coach, who has come to his work at Yale with high standard of amateur college sport to uphold will not direct the play of the Yale team while at bat.
 The players will use their own brains and initiative while at the bat and while running the bases. What the coach will do will be merely to criti- else the play afterward. Under the system which unconsciously grew up in recent years the team ''yapped" inces- sanity while in the field and the coach was very likely to furnish the strategy and direct the batting from the bench. Bad manners, on the one hand and poor team work on the other, regular .ly resulted
 Now that both Yale and Harvard are working along the same lines 1t is
