Power Sub Station
 Warmed Automatically

Youngstown. O.. May 5. R-Me- chanical men will be of little aid in electric sub-stations which are equipped to turn on electric heat CTS and bask in radiant warmth while cold winds whistle outdoors. This is how the new sub-station of the Pennsylvania Ohio Power and Light company is looking out for the comfort of its switchboards.
 Through thermostatic controls and ther equipment made by the Westinghouse Electric and Manu- facturing company. electric heaters are automatically turned on when the temperature falls below l5 de- grees Fahrenheit. When the air has been warmed to about 30 de- grees, the power turns off and | waits until the switchboards again l begin to shiver.
 The device Ia one of several pieces of apparatus designed to in- sure the proper functioning of re- motely controlled or automatic sub stations where no attendant is employed.

Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1928-09-19

When the time comes to pick the
most valuable player In the American
league for this season, the judges are
going to have one sweet problem on
their hands. In the past it was more
or less an easy matter to determine
who the honored player would be,
even before the conclusion Of the
playing season. But this year there
has been SO many who have been Of
great service to their club that no one
player is outstanding.
But whatever the selection may be,
no one doubts the value Of Tony
Lazzeri to the New York Yankees.
And IL really took an injury TO prove
the big Italians worth.
When Tony was forced from the
lineup because of a lame shoulder,
Higgins tried every possible COM
bination to gill his shoes with sad re-
suits. The team changed from the
unbeatable Yankees 20 just the lead
ers az the American league. But when
the trouble was mended and Tony re-
turned TO the lineup, things began 20
pick up.
Lazzeri in time may prove to be
one of the greatest second basemen
Of all baseball history. He has been
in the league only a few years, but IS
already recognized as its best second
sacker. And he IS still improving
