REPORTS BIG ECONOMIES
IN LIGHTING OF STREETS
Cost OF 100000 Candle Power,
Says Trafford, Will BE
Cut to 81.
MORE LIGHTS IN SERVICE
Quantity OF illumination on Streets,
superintendent Report Shows,
Has Increased 20 Per Cent-NIany
Permanent improvements.

Following up the much discussed
statement filed with the Charter
Change Committee by the Administers
tive Board, claiming that the board
has saved the city S73I,00 in three
years In street and sewer operations.
Superintendent Trafford. of the Elec-
trio Plant. made public yesterday n
statement covering the operations Of
the Electrical Department since the
board has had control of 1t, indicat-
ing substantial reductions in the cost
of manufacturing light for the streets.
Since January /. 1913" Mr.. Traf-
ford reports. the quantity of light
upon the streets has been Increased
40 per cent. and the number of lights
In service 80 per cent. The net cost
of given quantity of light has been
decreased more than 80 per cent
NO INCREASE IN NET
OPERATING EXPENDITURE
"We expect to be able to report this
year that these results have been ac-
complishcd without increasing the net
expenditures for operating expenses q
single dollar in excess of tho amount
expended in 1912
The cost of operating the plant in
1914 was somewhat higher than in
IL
low water In the river. In that year
"a per cent OF power was generated
by steam, as compared with . per cent
IN 1913, hence the cost of fuel and
labor was higher"
me operating cost of 1850 million
candle power hours in 1912. according
10 Mr.. Trafford. was S35S2324 or
sl9.S5 per 100000 candle power hour.
IN i9li, when the operating cost
was highest the corresponding figures
were S3e,l46.3G for 2.GO4 million candle
power hours. or sI5 per / 1000. 900 can
dle power hour. Mr.. Trafford estimates
that In 1915 the l,uOn,u0o candle power
hour operating cost will be only sll.
EXTENSIONS HAVE REDUCED
MANUFACTURING COST
Prior to the creation of the Admin
lstratlrc Board, the municipal electric
piant was directed by the old Council
committee on Electricity. The plant
was hardly more than year old when
me Administrative Board took over
niahaseineht IN January, 1913.
Large extensions in the street light
ing service, as well as the extension
OF municipal electric service TO most
OF the city buildings which were for
merN lighted by contract with tho
virginia Railway and Power COMPANY,
IL Is stated. have been In measure
responsible for the reduction i'm operat-
ing costs, since the larger consumn-
ZION has automatically decreased tho
cost OF production.
a supplementary table filed bv Mr.
iFaHora with the report on operating
COSTS shows that during the years
1913 and 1914, and UP to Sentcmhar

UNUsUALPLAY
in BASEBALL

A fan asked us today the fol-
lowing question:
Is a batsman permitted to stop
between home and first base, after
making a hit, in order to nindor
another play?
He explained his play as fol-
lows: With a runner on third,
the batter hit line grounder to
the pitcher. The pitcher realized
he had a weak third baseman, and
mistrusted any attempt to catch
the runner of third. He there
fore ran over to the first base
line to tag the batsman while
running to first, In order that ne
could hold the third base runner
to his bag. The batsman stopped
before reaching the pitcher, pre-
venting any attempt at double
play. The fan wants to know IL
this unusual play is legal.
Spalding's official baseball
guide quotes the following sec
ton of the official baseball rules,
under the heading Base Running
Rules"
"The batsman must run to first
base Immediately after making a
fair hit, or when four balls nave
been called by the umpire"

TRAINING QUARTERS

SPANAWAY PRAIRIES

meantime, the track will be open
to the public, and any person can
put his horse on it free.
The track and training quar-
tiers will be located on city park
property, it is planned. The track
will be of rolled gravel, eliptical,
of regulation half mile size.
There will be 40 horses in
training this winter, it is esti-
mated.
More persons are becoming
interested in fast horses every
day, said Huntamer today, "anl
they find that they must keep
their animals in training all win

Soccer
Rapidly

Tacoma grammar school soccer
teams will appear In the annual
soccer guides which will arrive
in Tacoma within a week or 10
days, according to a letter re-
ceived today by Supervisor Kelley
from the American Sports Pub
fishing Co.
Tacoma is one of the three or
four cities which will be repre-
sented in the publication.
Tacoma Is also responsible for
the growth of the game in Thurs
ton county. Olympia schools took
the game from Tacoma and in
turn was instrumental in start
ing 1t at Tumwater this season.
James Fisher, captain of the
Mckinley Red Caps, and Christie
pher Gellman, of the same team,
made a trip to Midland last
Thursday and coached soccer
team there. Midlands has mate
rial for three teams.
Much of the coaching done in
the city and nearby schools is
done by pupils who have learned
the game in foreign countries or
in other cities. Gellman, of Nc
Kinley. first played soccer in
Germany. Coal Keeper Pyl, of
the fast Bryant team, learned tie
rudiments In Holland.

meeting at Lincoln Park high
school.

by the teachers of Lincoln Park
at the recent clambake at Point
Defiance park for the teachers of

Opposition on the part of par
ents and the faculty to too much

said to have been the reason for
doing away with the annual senior
class reception and the decision
to adopt the class spread.
