Racing Starts at Churchill Downs —Indians and Millers Open Short Series

TURF MEETING OF DERBY FAME GETS UNDER WAY Kentucky Track More Popular Than Ever as Pony Fans Discuss Classic to Be Run May 17. Bv Timet Special LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 10 The Sport of Kings held forth at Churehill Downs track today, the very center of thoroughbred racing in this country. After a long winter of waiting once more the old thrilling half-suppressed shout of the stands,, ‘"They’re off” was heard as the barrier was sprung in the opening event of the spring meeting of nineteen days.

MANUAL IS VICTOR IN CLOSE BATTLE WIMQRTRIE Higgs and Rose, Pitchers, Hold North Siders Hitless —Score Is 3-0. The first city high school baseball game went to Manual Friday at Riverside when the Red and White pitchers, Higgs and Rose, held the Shortridge batters hitless for nine innings to 'score a shutout, 3 to 0. It was an e: ceptionally fast and clean prep con vst—in fact, one of the best ever plated In this city, despite the fact the diamond was soft in spots. The winners did not make an error, while Shortridge was charged with only one, although the catcher had several passed balls. Higgs Is Injure/I Higgs, who started on the mound for Manual, had a side-arm delivery, at times almost underhand, which completely baffled the opposition. He was forced to leave the game after the sixth inning when Abie Thatcher hit one through the box which split a finger on Higg's right hand. Rose took up the job in the seventh and kept up the good work his predo cessor had started. Rose’s pinch hit in the seventh when ho batted for Higgs also scored Manual’s third run. Snodgrass Doubles Snodgrass’ double in the first inning counted the first rvn and Becker's single out over the second. The winners scored in the first, sixth and seventh. Simms, on the hill for Shortridge, pitched a steady game, but his mates could not score. Only four Shortridge players reached first, three by walks and one by being struck by a pitched ball. Manual has a classy pair around second in Snodgrass at short and Cruse at the keystone sack. Becker appears to be a good hitter. NOTRE DAME BEATS I. U. Third Victory This Season for Irish —Score, 12 to 1.

Mageveny pitched steadily in the pinches for N. D. Daily and Hard twirled for the losers.

WILLS AND MADDEN NEXT fcjiarry Rules Strong Favorite in Bout " Monday Night.

The big fellows will close their training Sunday with light, work-outs. Wilis rules a strong favorite, but Madden has some backing. For Amateurs SAYS WALLY SC HANG Catcher. New York Americans mHERE are so many tips that I might pass out to the amateur player that I scarcely know where to start. Despite the fact I have been in the American League many years, each season I learn many things about catching to which I had never before given thought. To the amateur players fortunate enough to see major league games. I suggest they watch carefully the work of the stars at the position they play. * The amateur who sees only the minors must look to the stars of that class of hall for their tips. Many of the minor league players have had big league experience and can be watched to great advantage, k Don’t quit on any play, is my pet Pit of advice to all players, catchers in particular. No play is impossible until you have actually failed to make it. 1 often grab foul flies and throw out runners when there didn't seem to be a chance in the world at the start of the play. And after ail, nothing looks worse than to lose a play that you could have made if you went the limit in yotir effort. I refer particularly to fly balls that drop safe within reaohin:? distance

it is the fiftieth annual spring period of racing here and the historic course was never in better condition to handle the enormous crowds or take care of horses. Many improvements have been made until, without doubt, the track and its appointments are the best in the United States. An unprecedented interest is evident this spring in the sport and all attendance records are expected to be broken. The introductory program today was featured by the Clark handicap which with its SIO,OOO added purse probably will be worth nearly $15,000 to the winner. With only a week remaining now before the running of the Golden Jubilee Kentucky Derby there is feverish anticipation on every side. Throngs will start’pouring into Louisville early next week and by the time for the race May 17 the capacity of Churchill Downs, even with its room for 100,000 fajts, will be taxed. Notables from all parts of the country and even from foreign lands will be present along with plain Mr. Citizen in vast numbers. TRACK BAY FOR INDIANA SCHOOLS * 15 Sectional H, S.

ROMERO PROVES FROST US BOXES Chilean Is Game, but Not There With Fists, If By T tilted Preii NEW YORK. May 10.—Quintin Romero, self styled Lion of the Andes, took a severe seven-round V,eating in Madison Square Garden Friday night to prove there is only one Firpo in captivity. Romero, imported from Chile by Tex Rickard to anger Firpo into action, proved a terrible bust as a fighter when lie was stopped in the seventh round by Floyd Johnson. Johnson gained little prestige, however. as it. was the general opinion that Jack Dempsey, Tom Gibbons or Fir,mi could have taken both of them in the same ling. Romero showed the stout heart that Parisians said he had. but showed nothing else. He hit hard with his right hand, but he didn’t hit often enough, and it swung wildly. His left hand was much better than Firpo’s. but he didn’t get much more out of it than Firpo did in his big fights.

How the Demand for Power Comes and How It Is Provided For

There is One Blessed Thing about Most Public Utilities, and that is that there isn’t Much Mystery about unless their Managers or the Politicians try to put it in to Mystify the Public. That isn’t Merchants Heat and Light Company’s Policy. It is always willing to show the Works of its Watch. True, the business of a Power Company in a great industrial city like Indianapolis is of Great Volume, has to be, in fact, to Warrant the Investment and Make any Money on it. But all this Volume of Business started somewhere, and, as a rule, grows in about the same way that it started. Let’s begin at the beginning of an Electric Power Business. First off, comes a woodworking mill. It wants a Hundred Kilowatts, to be used steadily Ten Hours a Day. That’s that, a steady load for which capacity has to be provided at the Electric Plant. Then comes the Office Building Owner, with needs for another Hundred Kilowatts, to run his building elevators all day. Then CDme a dozen other factories, with their Fifty, Hundred or Two Hundred Kilowatts demand, or more. Run them all into a total, and you will get the Capacity which these Customers build up for the Power Plant, and use long enough each day to give its owners a chance to earn on their investment. Now. along comes a Foundry, for instance, using Fifty Kilowatts steadily for most of the Day, but calling for Fifty Kilowatts extra for a Couple of Hours along in the afternoon. Don't know why, but that’s the way the Foundries demand service. That extra capacity must be provided at the Plant, but it only gets Two Hours’ work in the day to Earn its Living. Then along comes the Afternoon Newspaper, which has a small demand during most of the day to run its Typesetting Machines, and when it starts its presses—Bingo, it calls for a Hundred Kilowatts more power to run off its editions, and uses it for an hour, maybe. That extra Hundred Kilowatts of Capacity must be provided for at the plant, to be ready to run off the newspapers in an hour, and to be idle the rest of the time.

KELLEY’S TEAM PRIMED TO GIVE TRIBE BATTLE Bush Makes Slight Change in Batting Order as Campbell Returns to Game —Th ree Contests Carded, By Times Special MINNEAPOLIS, May 10.—If it did*not snow this afternoon, Indians and Millers were to open a threy-game series at Nicollet Park. The weather in this locality the past few days has been of Eskimo brand, but there were indications this morning that the sun might peep through.

The Indians reached the city Friday morning, but their practice drill planned for the afternoon was called off. It was too cold. The Indians and Millers had an open date Friday. No A. A. Games Friday Rain and cold weather played havoc throughout the A. A. circuit Friday and the games scheduled in St. Paul, Milwaukee and Kansas City were postponed. The Indians were still perched at the top of the standing this morning -one-half game in advance of the K. C. Blues. One-half of the double-header scheduled here for Sunday has been postponed by agreement and tlje postponed contest will be played later in the season. Therefore, the present series calls for single battles today, Sunday and Monday. Millers Slam Ball The Millers have been hitting hard and they expect to wallop the Bushmen. Os course, they are entitled to do it if they can, but can they? The Indians hit a few themselves occasionally. Spud Campbell was to be back at t third for the Tribesmen this afternoon and he was to lead off in the hatting order. Manager Bush said he would shift Allen above Sehmandt in the batting line-up. Sehmandt haa not been effective with the bludgeon. Fitzsimmons was due to hurl for the Indians today and McGraw was the probable Miller choice. A. B.

H. S. AQUATIC LAURELS m ANNEXED BY TECHNICAL Indianapolis Lads Go Over Big in First State Prep Swim Tourney—Merriam High Point Scorer, By Timex >prrial COLUMBUS, lnd.. May 10.—Technical High School of Indianapolis Friday night won the first annual Indiana high school invitational water carnival, held here under the auspices of the Columbus High School Athletic Association.

T*ch swamped its opponents with 63 points, its nearest competitor b%ing Gary, with 9 points. South Bend and Bloomington tied with 7 ana Jefferson of Lafayette took 3 points. Merriam of Tech was high point man, with IS points. Hook of Tech was second. Technical boys took all events with the exception of the 40yard dash, free style, won by Oberlin of South Bend.

Nobody else shuts off his power to accommodate the Newspaper, and here's a Hundred Kilowatts of Capacity that is given only an hour s work in the day to earn its living. This Hundred Kilowatts costs Twenty-five Thousand Dollars to install, and Interest on Capital runs on whether the Machinery is earning or not. There are a lot of other Industries that call, at some time of day or week or month a year, for an excess amount of Power Supply. Meantime the Steady Old Pluggers, the Refrigerating Machinery at the Packing House, the Japanning Ovens at the . Motor Car Works, the Sewing Machines in the Garment Factories, the Elevators in the Buildings, the Jeweler’s Lathe and the Shoe Repairer’s Buffing Wheels are running along all day and every day, consuming Power in the Same Amount, all day, every day, the year around. The result of this is that a Certain Percentage of the Capacity of Every Plant producing Electric Power is run to its fullest use during the Ordinary Working Hours, and a Certain Other Percentage of Capacity has to be Bought, Installed, Paid for and Kept in Readiness to Serve to accommodate those who Want What They Want When They Want It, but Don’t Want It Very Long. Suppose this Steady Demand Represents 75 per cent of the Plant’s Capacity, and the Emergency Demand Represents 25 per cent of the Capacity. Should the People who Furnish Enough Demand to Provide an Income on the Seventy-five Plant Investment. which serves them regularly and evenly, be charged rates which will Earn an Income on the Twenty-five Per Cent of Emergency Capacity provided to accommodate those who want to use it, relatively, only Once in a While? THAT IS THE QUESTION WHICH LED, IN THE EXPERIENCE OF POWER COMPANIES, TO'THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE DEMAND RATE FOR ELECTRIC POWER. But that is Another Story.
