Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-08-04

When the first game Of baseball, as We
know il today, was played on June 10, 1876,
in HobOken. N. j., a photographer was on
hand. II the sound-track movie camera
had been invented then. he might have
caught an historic bit Of dialogue at home
plate.
One Of the star players lost his temper
to such m extent he was fined six cents Tor
swearing. The umpire heard him because
he spoke above . whiskeT.
Photographers have become more and
more involved in baseball since that firss
game in rs, and nowadays il is sometimes
difficult to tell them from the players. The
ultimate occurred at Griffith Stadium ~
Washington. D. c. A runner was poised on
third base, and lii for home to score the
winning tally after the batter had lofted
towering fly to right center. Catcher RICK
Terrell braced himself for the throw from
the outfield at the same moment that an
eager-beaver cameraman wriggled directly
behind him to catch the action at home
plate.
The ball and the runner arrived stimuli
taneousIy. Ferrell made a wild stab ana
slapped the ball on the photographers nose
just as the runners slide sent the camera
flying 10 feet in the air.
The camera was deposited in the nearest
ash can, the photographer was carried Oiito

Photographers are people
who can make something
positive out Of a negative

When great sports events are in the
making. you can bet that a competent
photographer will be on hand to record
them for poSterity. Early automobile races,
for instance. were unostentatiously photo
graphed by Henry Ford himself. The inven-
tor quietly tucked the prints away in his
files, and nobody knew they existed until
they were uncovered a few months ago.

dence of William Hugley, 80 Stew

ed in an upstairs bedroom They
believed the blaze caught from a
cigarette or from spontaneous
combustion. Damage was kept to
a minimum.
Firemen said eight fighters an
swered the call to the blaze, with
the intention of extinguishing the
blaze as quickly as possible with
out giving it chance to spread to
the other houses in the heavily
populated area.
Firemen said the material burn

made the fire look much worse

Timber Business Continues To Grow Here As Many
Choice Moodots Are Released For Sale And Saving

Most people in this area, and es-

but the fact is quite the contrary.
Timber here is classed among the
best in the state, and recent years

was removed.
Part of the credit for the recent
availability of saw-timber has been
given to the breaking up of some
of the larger land-holdings in the
area within 35-40 miles of London.
When heirs settle the estates
through partitions, the forested
lands are generally sold for cut
ting.
Such circumstances as these
provide the raw material for Lon

operated by George Wickline at
Mound and Olive Streets. Wick

wholesale end of the Wickline
firm. The other parts of the busi-
ness include logging, cutting and
manufacturing the timber into re-

Logging. one of the oldest Amer

people know little about with the

Two Released On
Habeas Corpus
Petitions Here

The Second District Court of
Appeals has granted the petitions
for writs of habeas corpus in the
cases of two Plain City youths, Hy-
sci Caldwell and Harvey StutZ-
man, held in the Madison County
Jail after they had been fined 5000
each and sentenced to 20 days in
the county Jail by Mayor Kline
c. Loomis of Plain City. They
were arrested in connection with
an egg throwing" episode in Plain
City.
The petitions for writ of habeas
corpus were not filed in Common
Pleas Court but were taken di-
rectly to Court of Appeals.
Harvey Crow, as counsel for the
youths, filed the petitions, each of
which. states that the youth is re-
strained of his liberty without le-
gal authority, but under the color
of a pretended commitment issued
by the Mayors Court of Plain
City"
The petition says that to the
affidavit filed the youth entered
pleas of not guilty and without any
testimony the mayor found them
guilty and sentenced them.
In the files of the court the rec
ordS show that an affidavit form
was filed with the commitment
form but that the affidavit was
not signed by the mayor as a
sworn statement.
Judge Roscoe G.. Hornbeck of
Second District Court of Appeals
said basis for the courts decision
was that no affidavits (that is
sworn statements) were filed.
After the courts decision Madi-
son County Sheriff Herbert c.

Bell Telephone
Exec Says Party
Line On Way Out

John A. Greene, President of
the Ohio Bell Telephone Company,
stated Wednesday that the old
fashioned party" telephone line is
on its way out. Mr.. Greene was
host to number of newspaper,
television and radio men at press
breakfast at the Deshler hotel at
Columbus. Robert Redman, Lon
don Bell company manager, and
publisher, j. r. Conway attended
the meeting
1t was pointed out that the par
ty line has been reduced from a
bout 16 telephones per line to less
than eight in the London area
since the end of the war and that
the Ohio average Is a little under
six per line 1T is our purpose to
gradually eliminate the party line
within the next few years-as en-
gineering progress makes such
elimination feasible" Mr.. Greene
said.
Insofar as the engineering prob
lens were concerned 1t was shown
that new invention now in pro-
duction will make it possible to
send multiple calls over a single
wire so that the present lines will
carry a number of separate conver-
sations at one time. Installation of
the new device is expected to get
the go ahead sign within a few
years.
Among the plans for future
stressed at the meeting was an
"adding-machine" type dial con-
sisting of ten buttons which will
replace the present circular dial.
This would eliminate the waiting
time during dialing. One outstand-
ing feature concerning the new
type dial was the "selective" dial
ing would be possible in that each
subscriber could have his tele-
phone keyed for important or
much used numbers-thati is. after
Cie hCySu SySIell was Sci up the
user could make calls by using but
two key numbers after which the
telephones memory would finish
dialing the other five digits.
In a question and answer ses-
sion, Mr.. Greene stated that the
practice of limiting the number of
calls at regular rates as done in
certain other cities would not be
put into operation here. Thus. local
telephone subscribers will always
enjoy unlimited calls for the same
rate. Some other localities have
rates based upon minimum num-
ber of calls and are charged extra
for each call over the limit.
