ing has until recently been relatively simple. Along way better apprecia- ton of the cost associated with rem dorlng electrical energy service on it's present extensive scale there has come decided tendency to measure more completely those features of the service which reflect the varla- ments of the cost. Utility employees who administer this portion of the business are finding themselves con- fronted with an increasing degree Of technical complexity and none too we'll accessible to the principles un- derlying the newer developments. It Is for this reason that Yale univer- sity. along with some 25 other American universities, has offered short intensive courses for the bene- fit of meter men and indirectly of the huge industry which they serve. Yale offered such a course in 1922 and 50 meter men from all over New England attended"

MARBERRY GLOR|F|ES
RELIEF MANS ROLE

At first thought it strikes one that
the life of the relief pitcher is sort
of a drab existence, entirely re-
moved from the choicer things in
baseball. But it has its redeeming
features.
In the first place. taking a man
like Fred (Firpo) Marberry Of the
Washington champions, one finds
him very important part of Stan
ley Harris pitching staff. He, in fact,
has come to be regarded as the best
rescuer of lettering ball games in the
American League.
Last season, for instance, Mar
berry participated in 30 games and
worked 105 innings, yet the records
show that he started and finished,
for himself, only six contests. But
with his great relieving knack he
managed to show n record of IL vic
tories and II defeats.
Harris is utilizing the pitchers pc
culiar talents in the same manner
this year. The big right-hander is
the third leg Of the champions.
Marberry Joined Washington in Au-
gust. 1928, being purchased from Lit
tie Rock of the Southern League.

Jack Dunn Trades
Ball Player
For Bird Dog

BALTIMORE, Aug. is. -
Jack Dunn, owner and manager
Of the Baltimore Orioles, the
most famous of all minor league
teams, takes the keenest pleas.
ure in breeding bird dogs.
Once he discovered that an
other manager Of a ball club had
practically nice specimen of
the canine family and Jack
coveted it. He made the owner
many fancy offers, but the man
who had the cog wouldn't part
with il.
1t came to pass that some time
later this other manager tried to
interest Dunn in a deal by
which he would become the own
err Of a star infielder, the prop
erty Of the Baltimore club.
Dunn would listen to no cash
offers Of player deals, but fin
ally he offered to trade his ball
player for the dog he wanted.
The offer was snapped up
and Dunn got the dog. This is
probably the only case on record
where a man was traded for
dog.

Mean Margin in

INTERMEDIATE LEAGUE.

An opportunity to take undisputed
possession of first place in the In
termediate League standing will be
given the Mistletoe Creamers when
they tangle with the Jordan-Ivers
Fliyvers in a twin bill on the Sap
Shops diamond Sunday afternoon. BY
taking both games, the Creamers will
advance n full game. ahead of their
closest rivals, the Samsco Machinists
who have an off day in the league
schedule.
Walsh Sheet Metal Workers and
Richter's Bakers also will clash in n
double-header, on Samsco Field. A
twO-ply killing by the Metal Workers
will move them into tie with the
idle Samscos for second place in the
league standing.
These four games undoubtedly will
have much to do with the outcome of
the race for honors in the second half,
as it affords both Jordan-Ivers, win
ners of the first half, and the lowly
Richters a chance TO rise into the
thick of the pennant scramble.
Gus Dwyer and A. J. Howle have
been assigned to mound duty for Jor>

Mistletoes. FRANKIE, the only proven
hurler on the Mistletoe staff, is ex-
pected to attempt to pitch both games
for his team. The only alternate is
yOungster named Gourley, who
made a good impression in his first
time out last Sunday.

use Gather and Mathis in their twin
bill. McCarty and Munoz are the
two Richter twirlers available for
duty.
