Princeton, N. ]. Telephone ser
vice at Princeton University is ham
died by girl telephone operators dur
ing the day, by students in the even
ing, and by the campus police after
midnight, according to Telephony.
There are 1876 telephones on the
campus, involving 29O miles of wire.
According to statistics recently COM
piled by the university authorities,
the daily average number of calls
from the campus is more than a
thousand.
Thirteen trunk lines lead to the uni
versity private branch exchange, in
the east wing of Nassau Hall. Girl
operators are on duty up to o'clock
in the evening, when the university
switchboard is turned over to stu
dents, who alternate on the job until
midnight.
By then most of the telephone calls
are made, few coming in after that
time. The Is trunk lines are then
connected to such places as the in
Urinary or the police office, from which
it might be necessary to make emer-
gency calls. Anyone off the campus
calling the university number after
midnight, gets the police office, where
he learns the night number of what
ever extension he wishes to call.
Somerset, Wise. Mrs. Alice
Rivard, alert telephone company oper-
ator, was highly commended recently,
according to press dispatches, for her
alertness and quick thinking in aiding
Jack Raleigh, night Waterman, in
the apprehension of two bandits who
were attempting to rob local store.
Raleigh, the Waterman, happened to
see the robbers at work through a
window and at once called Mrs. Riv-
ard, who notified officers what was
going on.
The bandits, discovering that Rail
eigh had attempted to Illustrate their
plans forced him to telephone the
operator that everything was all
right, which he did, but in the mean
time, officers arrived and captured the
bandits, after one had been badly
wounded in an attempt to get away.

Sydney, Australia . +. To establish
telephone communication to the Island
of Tasmania, the Australian govern
ment has made an appropriation to
lay submarine cable across the Bass
Straits, according to foreign telephone
reports.
Telephone communication between
the United States and Australia was
inaugurated October q, 1880, and
connections are made by radio from
New York City to London and thence

Paris, France i. The recently in
stalled speaking clock" of the Paris
telephone system is proving huge
success, the French ministry of posts
has announced. This robot clock can
tell the time to 80 persons simultan-
eously.
While the mechanism of this clock
is highly complicated, for the tele-
phone user, it is a simple operation
of dialing "Odeon 84OO" Three strips
Of film, equipped with sound tracks,
one each for the hour, minute and
second, are used. The strips are
wound about drum, which Is driven
by an electric motor controlled by a
pendulum clock.
A light falling on the paper-wound
drum, is reflected to a photoeiectiic
cell which converts the varying bright
and dark lines into electric impulses.
Tie cell IS connected with amplifers
and three loudspeakers, one of which
announces the hour. another the min
ute and the third, the second, always
in the proper order.

The Washington times., 1934-05-03


In crashing through with 6 to
2 triumph over the Yankees yes
terday, they showed their foes
that they still could bat, that they
still possessed plenty of fight and
that they are well-nigh unbeatable
when provided with good pitching.
They see no reason why their
excellent batting won't continue
and they are confident the pitch
ing will take a turn for the better.
in that more men will be able to
go the route as did Prof. Monte
Weaver yesterday.
Quite a good omen will be the
fact that another nine-inning
hurler will be on the mound to-
morrow in Tommy Thomas, vet
eran Highlander, who developed
as the first Griff hurler to travel
the required distance about 10
days ago when that finger de-
feated the Philadelphia AS in a
4-to-3 game.
Another good omen will be the
scheduled appearance of Earl
Whitehill who demonstrated he
was about ready against the New
York Yankees by virtue of his ef-
forts which saw Whitehill travel
seven and two-thirds innings.
Weaver, a young hurler, who
up to yesterday had been knocked
from pillar to post, was master of
the situation throughout even
though he was combed for nine
hits before the game was over.
Showed Fine Control
The best part of Weaver's
showing was his control. In the
second and third he had to put
forth all the pressure he could
muster to Squelch Yankee rallies
which had danger written all
over them.
These two innings, incidentally,
proved to be the lone moments
the Gothamites could score. To be
sure McCarthy's boys threatened
several times later on, but Weaver
always had enough in reserve to
stem the tide. And to make his
work even more complete, Monte
finished unusually strong by re-
tiring the Yanks in order in the
ninth-striking out Babe Ruth to
end the game.
The Griffs, backed by Weaver's
great pitching. jumped on an old
jinx-NGussell Van Atta-for six
runs in the first inning to wrap
up the verdict. In this frame,
Kuhel, Myer, Manush, Harris,
Berg and Weaver singled, while
Schultz and Travis came through
with extra base hits-Schulte, a
triple and Travis, triple.
Johnny Murphy, highlander,
and Harry Smythe, southpaw,
pitched the remaining innings.
The former stepped in as Van
Atlas rescue man in the first and
proceeded to stand the Griffs on
their heads until the eighth when
he was withdrawn for pinch hit
ter. Smythe pitched the ninth and
got by unscathed.

accounted for the Pirates win.

one of which was Chuck Klein'S
sixth homer.

doubtful honor of being the first

games this year. The st. Louis

out an easy Al victory. They
gathered nine bingles off Frey

granted eight.
Detroit Loses
Detroit lost chance to gain on
the league leading Yankees when
they dropped a So decision to
the st. Louis Browns. Homers by
Burns and Pepper and George
Blaeholder's SEVENTH perform
ance turned back the Tigers. Sor-
rell, Auker and Rowe, allowed
eight.
The Philadelphia Athletics won
a slugging duel from the Boston
Red Sox, 12-11. Including Bob
Johnson's homer, the Mackmen
drove out 16 hits, off Rhodes, Pip
graS, Waldberg and Pennock.

The Giants can thank Frank
Lefty" O'Doul and the same Pi-
rates for their position today. It
was "Lefty's" pinch homer with
two on bases in the eighth that
gave the Giants a SIS victory over
the Brooklyn Dodgers. And, the
Pirates, 4-2 triumph over the
first place Chicago Cubs, that
moved the champions up from
second place.
The Dodgers proved trouble
some to Hal Schumacher near
the end after his mates gave him
an early lead. It remained for
O'Doul to clinch the game and
give the Giants a clean sweep of
the three-game series.
Mel Otis sixth homer of the
year with Bill Terry on base in
the third was another contrib
uting factor in the Giants vic
tory.

His father, the late Gus

self with the sports activities
of Washington and the son
by nature grew into both the
business and recreational niche
created by the elder Buchholz.
It was this observers pleas
ure to propose Fred Buchholz
as a boxing commissioner sew
eral weeks back when it was
apparent legalized fighting was
imminent in Washington and
we are no little gratified that
the suggestion fell upon appre-
ciative minds.
Thomas and Weaver
Monte Weaver and AL
Thomas stand alone of the
Washington pitchers who have
gone the full route in the IA
games played by the Griffmen.
Weaver hurled a meritorious
game to turn back the Yam
KEGS in the last game Of a
three-game series and at no
time seemed in danger of los
ing the comfortable lead WASH
ington compiled for him in the
first inning.
It was week ago last Sunday
in Philadelphia that AL Thomas
broke the ice by staying the full
nine innings, before and since
then up until yesterday the
Griff hurlers have done piece
meal work.
Washington took matters in
it's own hands in the very open

dint Of eight lusty hits, includ.
ing a triple by Schultz and sin
giles by Kuhel, Myer, Manush,

double by Travis who continues
to play a sterling game around
third base.
From then on Weaver coasted
home, holding the Yanks well at
bay and issuing his only walk in
the fifth when Lou Gehrig
strolled. He silenced the big
Yank guns for the most part
and those he didn't completely
subdue he at least muffled.

We suspect the District Com
miSsioners couldn't have made
q more popular nor practical
selection for a civilian member
OF the local boxing board than
Freddy Buchholz had they
combed the telephone direc-
tory from kiver to kiver.
:. Which is not to imply at all
that the system Of selecting
the gentlemen to direct boxing
here is one Of those Stick-a-pin-
acknowledgements a airs,
because up to the moment two
ideal appointments have been
taade-Major Ernest w. Brown
being the other-apparently
after thorough consideration.
Approbation Of the appoint
1aent Of Major Brown has pre-
Naously been expressed herein,
and we never hope to see the
day when a single word Of it
will have to be retracted.
Didn't Seek Jobs
And what we wanted to say
today Of Freddy Buchholz is
that the washington fight pub
lie will have unqualified conf
dence in the local control Of
boxing with a man Of his stand
ards sitting on the board. He
has an enviable reputation as
a business man and as a sports
man, and while he makes no
claims to knowing all there is
10 be known about the fight
racket, he has a high sense Of
decency and respectability.
3 No doubt it is for such quail
3icationS that Commissioners
Hazen and Allen fixed upon
him to offer the post so ardu"
0sasly sought by many others.
A pertinent feature of tn e
two appointments to the boxing
Board so far is found in the
Tact that neither Major Brown
