NITROGEN LAMPS SOLVE
CENTRAL AVENUE PROBLEM
Fewer Lights, Better Illumination and
Less Cost, Says Dodge

That Central avenue from the city
limits on the north to the city limits on
the south can be adequately illuminate
cd with a single light standard is the
belief of City Electrician Dodge That
one half the number of standards en-
ployed in the business district will be
adequate for Central avenue is also the
belief Of Dodge Employing what is
known as nitrogen lamp. developing
approximately 600 candle power plac-
ing two Of these at each intersection at
diagonal corners and two within the
block he says he will demonstrate that
TO demonstrate this Dodge last ev-
eninS cut out the regular ornamental
lamps on North Second street from
Washington to Adams and installed
four nitrogen lamps in the same man
ner as he expects to arrange them on
the avenue. 1t was found that Second
street was ABOUT as well lighted under
this arrangement as those streets
where the five light standards are used
The circle of illumination is much
greater than that of the sixty watt lamp
heretofore employed and overlaps that
of the next nearest lamp, insNring H.
Elimination of the entire thoroughfarc
with half the number standards, people
living on Central avenue would do well
to visit the block Illuminated in this
manner and decide for themselves if
the plan is not good. Another advan-
tagc is that it requires but half a watt
per candle power to operate the nitro
gen lamp as compared with one and
one-quarter watts per candle power to

| means that better light ut less cost is
available through the nitrogen lamp.

Big Crowds In
 hiladelphi 1pdieate
 Game Isn't Dead


 That winning baseball still pays in this city Is shown by the big turnouts during the homes tay of the PhiIlies and in the attendance figures for the . season at Broad and Huntington streets, writes William G. Weart in the PhIa dsK Evening Telegraph they played 29 games and on every occasion except last Thursday, when a double header took place, or the holiday, it was necessary to shut ter and half dollar sections.
 On three or four occasions the crowd was so large that the fans were forced to stand in the grand stand. Up to date it is estimated that 300, 900 persons have turned out to witness 50 charnpionship, contests at the PhilIies' park there this sea son, this being an average of more than 7,00O.sp spef game. i
 That the interest is increasing is proven by the fact that the attend ance was s230. 00a for the 29 games I played during the last homes tay, or an average of about h.0OO per. game. Had the quarter and half dollar sec lions been able to, accoTnmod date more of those who could not afford to pay a higher price the grand total would have been several thousand higher.
 With winning team to root for and the knowledge that the/ games are going to be well contested. base ball is along way from suffering 8 nanent decline in that city.

Record Breaker Ness Couldn't t Hit Curve
 Ball ia the Minors

E Johnny Ness, once known as a member of the 1909 Madison club of the Wisconsin, Illinois League i and more recently as the breaker of Ty hitting, will probably go to the '-big show this fall. Right now he is playing ball for Oakland in the Pa cif1c Coast League.
 If the. majors grab him, and if he makes good, he will owe his rise to acquired ability in hitting a .'hook'' curve. Smiley Smith, manager of the Madison tam when Ness was mem Der, tells an interesting story of how Sam Crawford of Detroit predicted the rise of Johnny as a first sacker
 .'At the close Of the 1909 season. starts Smiley, the Madison club sold Ness to the Detroit Americans Johnny joined the Detroit team at the close of our season.
 sePhe Tigers came to Post Park which is between Be1oit and James vile, one day in the early fall for an exhibition game with a picked team from Beloit. I played with the Be- lott bunch against the Tigers who carried Sam Crawford and a, number of Stars.
 After the game approached Crawford and asked him how he re- garded Ness chance of making good.
 Sam said: Well, Johnny is going to be a great sIugger some day, but he can't hit a hook But that's nothing for him to worry over
 : How can Ness learn to hit hook?'' asked Smiley.
 Ness is in the same fix found myself when came to the big league the first time, which was quite some times ago. I couldn't hit a hook and was sent back to the minors, going to Shreveport in the Southern. League. There I was fed on hooks until thought would get nothing else. For a time didn't hit, but after a while [ got so I could hit hook almost as easily as a. fast straight ball
 Ness, I, think, will have to go through the same experience, How ever, with his ability, I believe he will learn to hit a curve and will be in .theb ig show to stay before many years
 Sam Crawford's predictions seem likely to come true this year.

Alec Greggains
 Was Fighter, Trainer,
 Referee And Manager

Few men have had a wider expert ence in all departments of the box ing game than Alec Greggains, whose name is inde1ibly associated with the sport which flourished so long on the Pacific coast, where it is now but a memory Alec was born in San Fran tomorrow, and in his career he gloves, and was afterward referee, fighters. It was in the middle eigh- scra apper His first contests were with the %meat hands," and at the bare fist game he won most of his battles with knockouts. In 1889 he won the amateur championship of the Pacific Coast in a bout staged at the old Olympic club, and little later he was victorious in an amateur competition staged by the. California A. c. He then became the; trial-horse for the latter club. When Jim Hall arrived in San F'rancisco~from Australia, to go after the midd1eweight title, he was pitted against Greggains.: Jim had the best of it, and employed Alec to go on the road with him as sparring partner.
 On returning to San Francisco, Greggains fought Billy Mccarthy, the Australian, and defeated him in 26 rounds. Alec then took on Marine George Lab1anche, who had won the raidd1eweigft title the previous year by defeating Jack Dempsey. and easily defeated him.

SIJFFRACISTS HONOR
 BAY STATE PIONEER

Boston. Aug. IA large deIega- ton of suffrag1sts from all over Mas sachusetts. headed by the state presi- dent of the suffrage association, Miss Alice Stone Blackwell, gathered at -Coy's Hill today to. celebrate the 97th birthday anniversary of Lucy Stone Blackwell, the pioneer sufragist of Massachusetts. The unveiling Sof a bronze tablet on the, house where she was born was made by her daughter, Miss Blackwell, and a suf- frage tree was planted.
 Speakers included Mrs. Judith Smith, contemporary of Lucy Stone, Miss Blackwell, Mrs. Maud Wood Park of Boston, and Miss Sarah De Pont of Ohio.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1915-08-14

The most famous bouts in which Greggains took part were his two con tests with Buffalo Costello, the game and durable fighter who died not long ago. In their first battle, staged at the Pacific club, Alec and Buffalo" went fifty rounds to a draw, and in a return engagement they fought 80 rounds without either man having any decided advantage.
 Greggafn's ring career practically ended twentyt-tWo years ago today, Aug. 14, 1893. when he was knocked out by Dan Creedon, the Australian, at Roby, Ind. Alec fought a few times after that, but he was never again considered in the light of a@champion- ship. contender.
 As a referee Alec was fairly good, but as a trainer he had few superiors. On one occasion, about ten years ago, he was in charge of the training camp of Young Corbett, who was matched to fight Jimmy Britt. The Denver boy found it hard to get down to the re- quired weight. and Alec put him on short rations and cut off the water and tea. One day Young iCorbett started out a ten mile run. He weighed 137 pounds when he started, and was four pounds heavier when he return ed. The next day Alec climbed aboard a horse and followed the little fighter without the 1atter's Knowledge. For several miles Young Corbett trailed along, and Alec had about come to the conclusion that the laws of nature had been repealed in Young Corbett's case, when he saw his quarry turn aside into a by-path. Alec crept along after him, and when he came up with him the little boxer was sitting beside a pump, trying to drink well dry.
 The boslxy dell of Young Corbett's pilgrimage was immediately illurni- mated by large gobs of oratorical fire works, and after that poor Corbett found life one long and arid Sahara, with scarce drop to quench his thirst.

Although the two Jinns were about the same height.

When he first fought Jeffries at Co1fey Island in 1900, Corbett lasted 23 rounds. but, in the second session he was lucky to stay 10 rounds This defeat convinced Corbett that he was all in as a scrapper, and since then he has devoted himself to elevatine- the stage.
