Royal Dufresne, former premier pitcher of the Valley High school league, who hurled West Springfield High to the title, essayed the mound to do duty for Springfield and made an impressive "bust' into profession al baseball but had Dufresne's sup port by the West Springfield High school players been anything like what he received yesterday, he would never have been gra bloed up by the local club as a coming phenom.
 Dufresne allowed only seven hits, three of them to the hard hitting Briger, and, so far IS pitching was concerned, looked somewhat better than Crystal, who dished up the Hartford curves and hooks. The score:

TO THE FRONT. AS USUAL

The fame of Wisconsin's achieve
ments along dairying and agricultu-
raj lines is widespread, but less is
known about certain notable industrial
developments which are due to citizens
or Badgerdom. The mechanical knot
ter. which first made possible cheap
loaf Of bread, was invented in Wise, y
sin, as was also the typewriter, which
makes possible the conduct OF modern
scale business operations. It now ap-
pears from an article in the Septem-
Der Wisconsin Magazine Of History
that the worlds first commercial cleo
trio lighting plant belonged to Wiscon-
sin. This was the Appleton Edison
Light Company, which began opera
tions in 1882 Two weeks later a
simihrr plant began business in New
York City. The New York plant had
been begun earlier than the one in
Appleton, but the latter, being much
the smaller, was completed first and
first began actual operation.
