TRAIN WITH TELEPHONES
TRIED OUT 20 YEARS AGO
One of the earliest demonstra
tion of the use of the telephone on
a moving railroad train in this
country was made over twenty
years ago when the special train
of the Chamber of Commerce trade
extension excursionists from Pitts
burgh was equipped with tele
phones.
This was in September, 1908.
Telephones were installed in each
car and the members of the party •
were enabled to communicate with
each other on the train, although in
different cars and while the train
was in motion. Connection was
also established when the train
stopped at various places en route,
including Parkersburg, W. Va.,
Canal Dover, 0., etc. The mem
bers of the Chamber of Commerce ,
were able to converse from their j
individual Pullmans to their homes J
in Pittsburgh.
CLAIMS WORLD'S MOST
TRAVELED VOICE
Telephone calls from the Hotel
Savoy in London to New York,
Geneva, Copenhagen, Berlin, Paris
and Stockholm are almost an every
day occurrence. The operator in
charge of the hotel's switchboard
claims a record of having spoken to
every country in the world that is
connected by telephone with Lon
don, and it is his boast that he has
the most widely traveled voice in
Great Britain, if not in the world.
Telephone books are on file at
the Savoy Hotel representing no
fewer than 28,000,000 telephones in
the United States, Canada, Mexico,
Cuba, and the countries of Europe
that are linked to London 'by tele
phone. The only European country,
not so represented in this list is
Soviet Russia.
Commercial telephone service
was established between the South
western parts of Finland and all
I>arts of England.
THE FOREST CITY COURIER, THURSDAY, ' OCTOBER 3, 1929.
SPORTS OPINION OF
HUGH VERNER, JR.
I
> Next week will see the Philadel
phia and Chicago baseball clubs clash
for world championship. Hugh Ver
; ner, ten year old son of Dr. and Mrs.
. C. H. Verner, of Forest City, gives
1 the'following resume of the contend
! ing teams in the series:
I Philadelphia: Bishop is a good 2nd
baseman, but has a weak arm, and
. Connie Mack is slightly worried a
bout him.
I
1 Haas is a heavy hitter. He also is an
excellent fielder. Connie Mack ,is de
-1
; pending on him in the series with
( Chicago.
1 Cochrane is also a good hitter and
catcher. He was elected most val
uable player in league last year, and
he is going to show up in the series.
1 Simmons is a home-run hitter,
having hit about 33 or 34 this sea
! son. Connie Mack is proud of him.
i Foxx, the first baseman for the
i Athletics, has hit one more home
; run than Simmons. He is only 21
years of age.
| Miller, being the right fielder for
l the Athletics, is also a home-run hit
i ter. He has been out lately, but is
. back again now and ready for the
• series.
! Hale is the third baseman. He is
I one of Connie Mack's weakest men.
• but -he is steady and is not easy to
get rattled.
j Boley, like Bishop, has, a weak arm.
; Boley is not a heavy hitter, but is a
good short-stop,
i Earnshaw is a right-handed pitcher
, and is expected to make it hard for
| the Cubs. He will pitch the first
: game of the series for the Athletics.
Chicago: McMilen is the 3rd base
man for the Cubs. He is not a heavy
: hitter, but just a sure hitter,
j English, being the short-stop, is
! one of the best in the league. He is
j one of the men J6e McCarthley is
' depending on.
Hornsby is a heavy hitter, having
hit about 43 homers this season. He
is one of the main cogs in the Chi
'cago Cubs' line-up, and being the
best 2nd baseman in the league. He
is going to hit hard in the series.
Hack Wilson, center fielder and
the most heavy hitter in the Cubs'
line-up. His weight is about 195
pounds. He is a low, ducky fellow
and hard to pitch to. Joe McCarth
ley smiles whence goes to the plate.
He has hit about 45 home-runs this
season.
Cuyler is a right-handed hitter and
is expected to murder all the Ath
letics South Paws. His position in
the tearn is right field. Hornsby,
W T ilson and Stevenson are three oth
er players who will murder south
paws. Cuyler was bought by the
Cubs from the Pitts Pirates in 1926.
Stevenson is a heavy hitter also. He
is the left fielder for Joe McCarth
ley and his Chicago Cubs. He is one
of the youngest men on the team.
They have only had him about three
years.
Grimm is the Ist baseman for 'the
Cubs and is about the weakest man
on the team. He has been out lately,
but was replaced by Toljson.
Harnett is a good catcher and hit
ter. He has been out or Uie line-up
all season, but he is expected to be
in the series. If he isn't, Gonzales
will replace him.
Malone, being a right-handed
pitcher, is expected to be good in
the series. He is about 39 years of
age, and has been with the Cubs a
bout seven years.
