ELECTRIC LIGHTS 40 YEARS OLD

September 4, 1922. marked the for
tieth anniversary of the opening OF
the first central station. This was
the Pearl street station of the Edi
son Electric Illuminating Company,
New York City.
That H. NJ. Byllesby. interested in
the Louisville Gas and Electric Com.
pany, and Samuel insult. president of
the Commonwealth Edison Company,
of Chicago, are interested in the Ken
lucky Utilities Company, were pio-
neers in the public utility field and
brought out in connection with the
celebration of this anniversary.
The third big lighting plant in the
country was erected in Chicago by
Mr. insult. the old Harrison street
station, where electricity was for the
first time produced and sold at com
paratively low rates. Since Mr.. Byl-
lesby's interests took control of the
ilSHtlHS pidul III LOUISVILLE anu tllF-
erside plant. the last word in produc-
tion of electric current, was con-
structed. The mammoth electric sign
reading Louisville, the Gateway to
the South" recently erected at the
Riverside plant, where it is visible
for miles to passengers on trains or
trolley cars approaching Louisville
from the north. is one of the best ad-
vertising mediums Louisville has ever
had.
The Pearl street station, when it
first began operating, furnished cleo
tricity to $40 buildings, with total
of 6,225 lamps. In forty years the in
dustry has grown until there are to-
day 1854 plants serving 1O.375.O0O

California demonstrated that a
comparative handful of picked ath-
letes are all that are necessary to
win a great track meet. Following
the same line of reasoning, Notre
Dame sent a small but carefully Sc
lected group of track and field stars
to the 22nd annual track and field
games OF the western conference,
now in progress at Iowa City.
While Illinois with her large,
evenly balanced team, is looked
upon as the likely winner of the
meet, a goodly percentage of her
performers must hold up to form
if the margin between the Blue ana
Gold and Notre Dame is not to be
thrillingly slight. Minnesota, haV-
ing beaten Wisconsin in the annual
dual meet, is counted upon to finish
third, although results of dual
games are not TO be regarded as an
unerring line upon what will hap
pen in more general affairs.

TWO HITS AND

Eighth Inning.
fspecial TO The Argus.)


Cedar Rapids, Iowa, June 1.-THE
Bunnies captured the opening game
of the series from the Islanders
here yesterday afternoon by score
of 6 to 4. Hits by Valentine and
Hickler coupled with two errors by
Councilman and one by Norton, gave
the locals the winning runs in the
eighth inning.
The Islanders outhit the Bunnies
and had a one run advantage when
the locals came up for their time at
bat in the eighth. Hoeft weakened
slightly, but not enough to have
caused serious trouble had it not
not been for the misplays IN the
field.
Hoeft was opposed on the slab by
Sitter, who after being nicked for
three runs in the opening inning
settled down and held the visitors
safe the rest of the distance.
The Bunnies tied the score in the
third. The lead was relinquished
to Rock Island in the eighth when
Norton singled and McEwan
doubled, but was quickly regained.

game lacks the fire of keen, Compel

In other words, they go into their
games mainly for the fun and
healthful recreation to be derived.
whereas we strain every nerve,
summon our last physical resources
and no matter how good we are
finally fall to the earth like burned
out rockets. Who will say the Brit
ish isn't better than ours?
Another thought. however. do all
sports require blazing champions if
they are to enjoy general popular
ity? That is, is the growth of a
game. such as tennis, largely de-
pendent upon the prestige impaired
by superior players?
The University of Pennsylvania S
council on athletics has decided to
place q junior varsity football elev-
en- on the field this fall. 1t will be
conducted along lines similar to
those governing the organizations
and activities Of junior varsity oar
ed crews. a definite subject of
games will be arranged for the out
fit which will be composed of men
who love to play football but are
not of varsity or even varsity scrub
caliber.
At least it may be assumed that
varsity sc1ub men will not be drawn
from valuable work as chopping
blocks for the varsity TO serve on
a regular junior varsity eleven.
The team. thus in all probability,
will be somewhat below the level OF
even the freshman eleven. There
will also be formed AT Pennsylva-
MIA d second freshman team. so that
in all four gridiron combinations
with separate coaches. schedules
and the like will be at large upon
Franklin field next season.
Having set forth the above facts
it now remains TO determine just
how successful Pennsylvania s idea
is likely 10 be. If you catch vars
ity football men in confident mood
they-or at least some of them
will tell you that they do not play
the gridiron game so much for the
love of the sport as the prestige it
brings and the satisfaction of know
ing they are doing something for
alma mater.
This is not to say they do not
like to play in a football game. but
it is to say that the long grind of
preparation, the self-sacrifice of
