.BUTTERWORTH|S IS
ASTRONG PLAYER
Physical Director Helps East
Side Faculty Down Seniors
in Basketball Contest.

Demonstrating that they could play
basketball just as well, as teach the
three RS to their students, the fac
ulty team of East Side High School
yesterday afternoon defeated the
senior class quintet by a score OF IA
to IL. The "profs," however, pulled
in a questionable ringer in the per-
son of Horace Butterworth, physical
director. Coach Butterworth was
scheduled to referee, but at the
eleventh hour George Bauer was
shifted to the responsible position and
Butterworth went into the game. 1t
was apparent right off that the
seniors had little chance with the
physical director leading the attack.
Butterworth was the star, caging four
field goals and a like number of free
throws.
The game was arranged in order to
defray the expenses of the senior
class on a trip to Washington. D. G.
Quite goodly sum was realized, the
East Side students turning out in
force. The lineup:

When informed that the New York
club management asserted that Mar
guard was signed to a binding con-
tract to the New York Nationals for
1915 and 1915, a contract with the
ten-day clause eliminated. Robert
Ward, president of the Brooklyn
Federals, said he could not tell
whether he would be prepared TO
fight for Marquard's services.
81 must see the contract first" said
Ward. 81 am convinced that Mar
guard dealt with me in good faith.
In fact, l cannot conceive of anyone
making an affidavit, as Marquard did,
unless he was convinced that he was
in the rigkt. He said that after a
careful reading Of his contract, lTe
felt sure that the only thing which
bound him to the New York club
was the reserve clause.
Anyway, l can see no difference
between this case and that of Will
lam Ritter, a player whom we
signed last fall. Three days later
the Giants signed him to a New
York contract, taking advantage of
the technicality that he was few
days under age when he signed one
Of our contracts"

HYDRO.RLRCTRIC
PLANT BUILDING.

Bristol, Tenn, Nov. 15.-The Ed
mondson Electric company, organized
by Edmondson brothers, with D. H.
Edmondson, president; S. w. Edmond
son, seeretary-treasurer; Joe H. Ed
mondson, vice-president, has under
way the construction of an important
hydro-electric plant on the Middle
Fork of Holston river, near Emory, in
Washington county, Virginia. This
company is building across the river
a concrete dam that will be thirty
feet high and more than 200 feet
across. The dam, which is now about
one-half constructed, has a base of
thirty-six feet. 1t will form a lake
of about 300 acres and will back the
river water for a distance of four
miles.
This plant will yield a maximum
of 1000 horse power and minimum
of 1000 horse power. The machinery
has been ordered and will be installed
early next spring, so that at the lat
est the plant will be supplying the
surrounding towns and communities
with electricity for lighting and in
dustrial purposes early next fall. 1t
is expected to make contracts for cur
rent with the towns of Chilhowie,
Meadowview, Emory, Glade Springs
and Abingdon, and sale for any sur
plus will be sought. The capital for
this enterprise is being furnished by
the Edmondson brothers, including
the officers of the company and W. ].
This is the second plant
of this kind for this region. The first
to be constructed was that on the
Watauga river, near. Elizabethton,
Tenn, and which is now owned by
the Doherty Operating company. of
New York, and is part of that COM
panys Bristol property.
