PRESBYTERIAN JuNIoP
BALL TEAM WINS
By HOMER BILLINGS

Two good games we're played in
the Junior Baseball League today.
The Presbyterian Juniors are COM
ing strong and now have two games
to their credit, the beat percentage
OF all the Juniors to date.
They took turn at the Metho-
dists today and got away with a
score of IS to IL In five innings. The
Presbyterians were behind for n
short time but in the third inning
they got out from under and didn't
let the Methodists get another look
in. Pittenger, Coldwell, Phipps and
Wilcox took turns at pitching but
Lawrence Wagner kept the catcher's
NIT throughout the game and he
was there all the time too.
The second game at 1880 was
probably the best game OF the Junior
series thus far. The Baptlsts and
&C team played nine innings In an
hour and fifteen minutes and in no
inning were there more than two
runs. These fellows are getting
down to business fast and will be
making the rest Of the teams 90 some

The Baptist battery throughout the
game was Butterfield and Landreth
and the &C battery Kanasto and

baseball apparently for their senior

ANNIVERSARY OF STREET
CAR is CELEBRATED

NEW YORK. May Z. - Electric
railway companies throughout the
United States celebrated the 33rd
birthday OF the overhead trolley
car on Wednesday.
1t was in Richmond, Va, on May
4, 1888. that the modern oyerhead
trolley really got its start as a COM
mercial enterprise. On that day the
Richmond Union Passenger Company
accepted a double track line provided
with thirty electric cars, built by
Frank J. Sprague, who is still res
ident of New York City.
For fifty years prior to that date
scores Of inventors, beginning with
Thomas Davenport. a Brandon (vt.)
blacksmith. had been working to-
ward the goal which Sprague final
ly achieved. In his little shop In
Brandon Davenport devoted his spare
moments to making a working
model OF an electric railway, and
finally in the autumn OF 1885 he
perfected a car with electric mag
netlc power as governing prin-
ciple. Later he set up a small cir
cular railway in Springfield, Mass I,
and over It arove an electro-mag-
netic engine. But history credits
him with accomplishing little more
One of the interesting exhibits Of
Mr.. Sprague Is a headline from New
Orleans paper printed in 1888 which
says: Lincoln set the Negroes
free! Sprague has set the mule free!
The long cared mule no more shall
adorn our streets"
In the 3S years since Sprague's
line began operating successfully, the
electric railway industry has made
enormous strides. Today there are
more than $4,000 electrically pro-
PEELED passenger cars in the United
States which carry a total of ap-
proximately $4,000, 900. 900 persons,
or ten times as many as ride on the
steam railways, yearly. Their actual
receipts this year will amount to sew
eral hundred million dollars. The In
vestment In lines Is approximately
IS. 900, 900. 200, the trackage Is A.
400 miles and 100000 men are EN-
pioyed.

oring tourists. II Is estimated by
officials OF local oil companies
that at the peak OF the summer sea-
son that an average OF 10000 gal
Ions of gasoline per month will be
sold in this city. Figures from the
source show that the sale of gaso-
line during the summer months OF
last year were $4,000 gallons per
month. But officials OF the local
branch Of large oil company points
out, the indications Of an ascending
high point in sales are exception
ally good and Justify hopes for a

II is estimated by Charles Pierce

agency. that the total sale OF gaso-
line by Ashland service stations to
local and motoring tourists. will
be close to 1900 gallons day dur
ing the summer months when vaca-
