NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-Rene La
cost of France today became the
1926 indoor singles champion by a
triumph over his countryman, Jean
Borotra, in a four-set struggle. The
score was 1913, 6-3, 2-6, 6-3. The
match brought together two foreign
stars, for the first time in tennis
history.
The youthful rivals, who share
number 1 ranking in their home
land, battled through two hours and
half of spectacular stroking before
the match was decided.
The title, won last year by Bo-
rotra, thus passed to France for the
second successive year over a trail
cut through the ranks of three out
standing American players-William

DOUGLAS, Ell PASO, JUAREZ AND
HURLEY JOIN COPPER LEAGUE:
WANT BISBEE AND FORT BAYARD

Tentative plans for baseball in this
section this summer which were
drawn UP at Ell Paso Sunday, place
Douglas as one of the four clubs in
new circuit to be known as the
Copper league. Ell Paso, Juarez and
Hurley are the other cities which
have entered teams to date.
1t is the hope of the managers of
the entered clubs that Bisbee and
Fort Bayard will join the circuit
before the season opens on April
16. Tom Glenn, president of the
Douglas club for this season and J..
w. Tardy, both of whom represented
this city at the meeting Sunday in
the Pass city, are enthusiastic about
the new league and believe that it
will go over big. Outlaw players are
not banned and Buck" Weaver will
probably manage the local nine.

Sunday meeting and the entire plan
was given the unanimous endorse

the ratification Of league officers
and the drawing up of a schedule
These questions will be settled as
soon as the club representatives re-
port back to their respective boards
and obtain approval of the tempor-
airy plan of organization.
The meeting voted unanimously
for an open" league, which means
that any outlaw ball players will be
eligible to play in the circuit. Ell
Paso's representatives President D. M.
Poe and Maurice Schwartz, stated
that the Ell Paso directors favored
such step.

tions to get a four-game series if
possible, but it is believed that the
three game series will be ratified by
all clubs.
,The split season was also unani-
mously adopted, with the opening

prove to be one of the most interest
ing athletic events ever staged
1t will be meeting between Char
ley Hoff and Harold Osborn. Hoff is
conceded to be the greatest all-round
athlete in, Europe, many critics insist
in the world while Osborn holds such
an honor in the United States.
Osborn's specially is the high jump.
Hoff the pole-vault, but both shine
in practically every other track event.
1t has been suggested that the con"
test be an eight-event test, the prob
able events being high jump, pole
vault, broad jump, one sprint one
middle-distance race, 1ong-distance
affair, a shot put and a hurdle con-
test.
Present plans call for the affair to
be staged in New York on March 16.

Hoff is the only foreign athlete to
rate with Nurmi and he should be
far more popular since he has a
pleasing personality, something Nur-
mo sadly lacked.
Douglas daily dispatch., 1926-02-23

No doubt some one has him tipped
off that American audiences are hero
worshippers, that they crave record
breaking performances.
In his first four appearances in
this country, Hoff has sent the fans
away satisfied by breaking a former
record. He started by doing 3 feet
inch and has bettered each leap by
one and one-half inches or less.
Being good Snowman, Hoff is
carrying the fans along. Instead of
showing all his stuff at once he is
simply breaking some previous mark
by slight margin.
In this way he maintains interest
in each appearance and at the same
time arouses much curiosity as to
what he can really do. Several track
coaches of prominent eastern colleges
have already expressed the opinion
that he will better IA feet, regarded

the city Is forty-one miles long.
At strategic points-load centers
along its course are five trans
former substations, where cur
rent is taken from the loop and
transformed to lower voltage.
From the substations it travels
on distribution lines, set along
nearly every street or alley, and
by transformers set on the pole
line is again reduced, this time
to 10 or 220 volts, the form in
which it is ready for lighting or
other ordinary use. There are
1,120 miles of distribution lines
in theentire system.
Each of the We substations
takes care of that part ofthe city
in which 1t is situated, and in ad-
dition has lines running out the
main roads into the country and
supplying the suburban homes
and farms along those roads and
the towns outside the city. Att
together the company provides
light and power for twenty-seven
towns and communities outside
Indianapolis, covering a terri
tory estimated at 800 square
miles.
The downtown distpirt, inside
the mile square, is supplied with
direct current, while that outside
the mile square is alternating
current. The direct current is
transmitted through an under
ground cable system. 1t is gen.

company has two large plants,

avenue stations. The former
has a capacity of $4,000 kilo-
watts, the latter 100000
The Mill street station has fif-
teen huge boilers, under which
every week day are burned about
535 tons of coal-an average of
more than twenty-five tons an
hour. The coal pit at Mill street
holds $4,000 tons. The steam
generated by these boilers drives
four turbine generators, tremen-
dous machines, three of which
have a capacity of $4,000 kilo-
watts Of electricity each. The
fourth is a 5000 kilowatt ma
chine.
To drive these four turbines at

within the next year. There are
eighteen boilers, ten of which
supply steam for power genera
ton and eight supply steam for
thecompany's downtown steam
heating system. The power boil
week day, and the heating sys-
ers use $50 tons of coal each
tenn uses about the same amount
during the heating season.
The energy produced by these
plants goes into the distributing
system, a maze of wires, cables,
poles, transformers, substations
which delivers this giant force to
the point whereit does its work.
Theprimary unit of the system
is the high tension loop, belt of
power that makes the circuit of
the entire city. The current gen.
Grated at tie two stations is
passed through banks of trans
formers into the high tension
lines, and these copper wires
carry the energy to the substa-
tons for distribution. Both main
stations are so tied into the line
that in any emergency, the work
of the plant affected can be abb
sorvbed by the other until re-
pairs can be made.
AS further protection, the city
is criss-crossed with circuits ra-
dating from the main station
and tied into the substations, SO
that IL for any reason any Sec
ton of the high tension line
should be out of operation, these
circuits can take up thu work OF
delivering the load.

vert $50 tons of water into steam
every hour. OF course it is rare
ly the fact that all four turbines
are in operation at once. A large
part of the plant equipment has
been installed and is kept in
readiness for peak load or emery
ency production, as capacity of
the plants is nearly twice the or
binary demand.
The steam, after 1t has passed
through the turbines, is con-
densed back to water and re-
turned to the boilers to be used
again. In this condensation proc
ess, each of the three big tur-
bines requires about 10000 gal
Ions of water minute, or 4,400
tons an hour.
The Kentucky avenue station
has two 5000 kilowatt gener-
ators, and provision is being
made for the installation of a

The experiment was such a sue
cess that within a few months
contracts were signed for the
lighting of English's Opera
House in it's present location on
Monument Circle, and the old
Grand Opera House on Pennsyl-
vania street where B. F. .Keith's
theater now stands.
To supply these, more general
ing capacity was needed than the
little plant back of the Sentinel
building could supply. So the
young company leased the prop
erty where the Columbia Club
now stands for its second station.
A house and barn stood on the
ground then, and in that barn
Mr.. Perry and his associates in
stalled their equipment and had
their Office.
That was the beginning. From
those two small plants, whose
combihed capacity was not more
than 500 kilowatts, has grown
