Yes, even in the horse-and-buggy days, the Texas Power 8c
Light Company's rural electric lines carried electric light to
many a farm and rural home—and a new day was dawning.
A day that brought new marvels of electricity to take away
toilsome tasks, bringing added comforts and better living to
city and farm homes alike.
For thirty years, the Texas Power & Light Company has
steadily and consistently extended its rural lines wherever suf-

By ARTHUR MARTIN
ORLANDO, Fla., Jan. 14 0P) —
Joe Tinker lay on a hospital bed
today awaiting amputation of his
left leg, and, to all appearances,
being late on a throw to first
base would have caused h i m
more concern. His major worry
appeared to be that he might
miss some of his baseball activi-
ties during the coming season.
Tinker said he expected "to see
some baseball” this summer but
probably would not do as much
scouting for the Boston Braves as
he has in recent seasons.
The former Chicago Cub short-
stop, who helped make baseball
history after the turn of the cen-
tury as the starting cog in the
famed Tinker-to-Evers-to-Chance
infield combination, will have his
leg severed above the knee on
Thursday to halt a gangrenous
condition.
The infection, complicated by
poor blood circulation, grew from
a small sore on his left foot. Re-
moval of a toe several weeks ago
failed to halt the spread.
Now 66, the occupant of base-
ball’s hall of fame discussed the
loss,of his leg without rancor.
“That leg’s seen a lot of good
service,” he said. “I guess losing
it is just one of the penalties of
old age. If my blood circulation
had been what it should, that lit-

telephone scientists are still asking. Same
question, same spirit, in today’s Bell
Telephone Laboratories of 6,000 workers
and their tools of research, spread through
acres of buildings.
Now that telephones by the million
knit America together, “making them
better” means much more to more
people. As a part of the Bell System
family, the Southwestern Bell Telephone
Company serves you better because it

Leopard eagers will be in Bon-

conference victory of the season.
Last week the locals copped
their district opener here, taking
a closely contested affair from
the Paris Widcats, a tilt that pro-
vided many exciting moments for
local cage fans.
Coach Wilson Dees’ crew will
be slight favorites to defeat the
Warriors, though the game is due
to be another hotly contested bat-
tle.
The Warriors dropped their
first circuit encounter last Friday
night in Denison, the Jackets
winning by a comfortable mar-

Two other district games are
on tonight’s card. Denison plays
in Sherman, and Paris invades

the district crown this season.

laughed long and loud at "such a
silly suggestion," saying that any
team had a perfect right to set
up any ort of defense against a
hitter it wanted to.
And they’re exactly right. May
as well pass a rule forbidding a
football coach changing from a
six-man line to a five-man line.
Makes about as much sense.
They needn’t worry too much
about Williams. He’s a great hit-
ter and he’ll solve that problem.
He could easily do so by either
bunting or learning to punch ’em
out to left field. That would cure
the switch, but fast.
THIS NCAA MEETING and
the resulting purity code pro-
posed isn’t meeting with approval
of all football men. Various sec-
tions have different ideas as to
just how much a player should
be helped through college.
Notre Dame president says his
school has no apologies to offer
for wanting a winner and as-
serted that “true reform in ath-
letics will not be accomplished by
the mere publication of noble,
high-sounding codes which are
often hypocritically evaded in ac-
tual practic." And, as you’ll re-
call, that’s just about what Matty
Bell of SMU said.
Dutch Meyer of TCU expressed
our opinion when he suggested
that anything that was done by
any school should be brought out
on top of the table. There’s
where hypocrisy ends.
FODDER . . . Rumors are that
Fred Russell, sports editor of the
Nashville Banner, will be offered
the presidency of the Southern
association. There’s a case where
at least one sports scribe rates
highly . . . Harold “Red” Drew,
Mississippi coach, reports he will
resign to take over the Alabama
job. Frank Thomas is a sick man
and is expected to give up his
position as mentor of the Crim-
son Tide. . . Babe Ruth's condi-
tion is reported to be good. The
Bambino took a walk around the
hospital corridors yesterday. And
that is good news to all baseball
fans . . . Coach Jeu Neely of
Rice thinks members of the
Southwest conference will all be
stronger on the gridiron next sea-
son. He loses only five players
off his co-championship outfit.
. . . Incidentally, Neely will start
spring football practice on Feb-
ruary 10 . . . Nothing definite yet
decided on the coaching situation
here. We have an idea that the
board will make a selection be-
fore too long, possibly in a week
or two, since mid-term will be
here in less than two weeks. . .
The Frogs play: hosts to the Hogs
tonight in Fort Worth. The Pork-
ers may prove to be the dark
horses of the cage race. Arkansas
fans are putting pressure on the
coach to bring home a winner . . .
Hope some local theaters gets the
newsreel films of the bowl games.
We're anxious to see if that lat-
eral Georgia made in the Sugar
Bowl was legal. We don’t believe
it was. However, that point may
never be definitely settled.

Turning the talk to baseball.
Tinker said it was hard to com-

the old time greats “because the
game ia different."
The double plays that brought
fame to Tinker, Johnny Evers
and Frank Chance are scarcer in
these days of the lively ball and
heavy hitting, he explained

ELECTRICITY ON THE FARM
Electricity takes the place of many farm hands, in getting the chores
done. Electric power pumps water to the house and barn, grinds
the feed, operates milkers, separators, churns, freezers, brooders,
blowers to cure the hay—and does many a farm job that formerly
required muscle and weat.
