Washington, June 7 IP Repre
sentatives of leading intermoun
tain' and Pacific coast private
power companies today protostod
to congress against interior de
partment appropriations to build
$21,500,000 of what they called
"unnecessary and duplicating
electric transmission lines."
They protested that these pro
posed lines would provide unbeat
able competition for them be
cause tax-exempt federal facilities
can outsell them.
They testified before the sen
ate appropriations subcommittee
folding hearings on the interior
department appropriation Dili.
The private power officials re
ceived support from Senate re
publican leader Kenneth Wherry
ot weorasKa and hen. uuy Cor
don, R., Ore.
Cordon said the government
"must settle once and for all on a
government power policy."
Must Decide Now
Wherry said the congress must
decide now whether to buy out
private power companies outright
or "stop building duplicate, paral
lel and unnecessary power lines."
The witnesses included: J. E.
Leiseau, president of the Public
Service Co. of Colorado; Elmer E.
Kime, vice-president of the California-Pacific
Utilities Co. ;
George E. Cory, vice-president of
Utah Power & Light Co., and

Hottest Pitcher In Coast
League Is Guy
By Don Tharkiry
(UiiiU'il 'rvn SrU WiiU-r)
San Francisco, June 7 The
hottest pitcher in the Pacific
coast league at the present time
its a 30-year-old right-hander toil
ing for the Seattle Halniers.
When Guy Fletcher set the San
Diego Padres down with seven
hits in a ID-inning contest Sunday,
he chalked up his 13th win of
the 1919 season and made it 12
straight since his last defeat. He
has lost but two ball games this
season.
The Seattle flinger is only four
games short of tyiifg the league
either offered use of their facili
ties or offered to build lines at
their own expense where the pro
posed lines do not duplicate exist
ing facilities.
He said the interior department
threatens to "preempt the power
function of the country."
Said Unnecessary
Leiseau protested that in the
Colorado area served by his own
company the government is pro
posing unnecessary transmission
lines in connection with the big
Thompson project. .He said these
unnecessary lines would serve the
cities of Fort Collins, Liveland,
Longmont and Union rural elec
trification administration near
Brighton, Colo.
Corey objected to a proposca
transmission lino in connection
with the Palisades project in
southeastern Idaho. It would con
nect the Goshen substation to the
Palisades dam at a cost of $800,
000. He said his company repeat
edly offered to build this line.
Knne protested against a proj
ect of $520,000 as a preliminary
step in construction of a stub
transmission line from McNary
dam to La Grande, Ore. He said
it would compete unnecessarily
with his private company.
Gale protested against a pro
posal for $727,000 to build a trans
mission line from Anderson ranch
dam, duplicating facilities of his
companv. He called it a "first
step" in a duplicate Idaho trans
mission system.

Fletcher, 36
mark for consecutive games won.
The record skein was woven by
Frank Browning of San Francis
co in 190!).
During his win streak, which
was started on April 19, the serious-minded
huiier has gone the
distance in all but one contest.
And he has posted nn earned run
mark of l.StTi for the 12 games.
j Only Los Angeles and San Fran-
Cisco have not bowed to Fletch
er during the win streak anu
Guv's other win was over the
Seals before he started on his
win string. In all he has beaten "Regular work is my primary
Oakland lour times, San Diego j consideration," the rotund, 41
three, Portland and Hollywood j year-old Barrett declared. "I want
twice and Sacramento once. i a chance to show I can still pitch."
Started ill 1843 Barrett, who has been used
Fletcher, although he is 3b, has I ln(ly , relief role this
been pitching professional base-1 seasorli is a veteran of 25 years
ball only since 19-12. He hason majol. and minor pitching
served only with Richmond in the jmourlds. He has hurled only 25 in-
i-Kunium H-U14UL- mm oaci.niii-iuu -
and Seattle in the PCL. His best
season was a 24-14 one hung up
with the Solons in 1945.
Fletcher takes his pitching as
seriously as any hurler in the
league, as any umpire will testi
fy. On the mound he vociferously
disputes calls that he dislikes,
glares at erring teammates and
generally puts everything he has
physical and mental, into win
ning. For that , reason sports
writers in coast league cities have
tagged him temperamental, argu
mentative and "grumpy."
Fletcher is a control artist,
never giving the batter anything
good to hit and keeping all his
pitches around the strike zone.
He throws nothing but sliders,
varying the speed and amount of
break to keep the would-be hit
ters off balance.
In the dugout the Rainier main
stay is always alert, even when
not pitching, always carefully
watching the enemy batters at
the plate to discos'er weaknesses
and tipoffs in the batter's style
and swing. When he spols some
thing, it is catalogued and filed
for future reference when that
player is at the plate trying to
slug one of Fletcher's wily
throws.
Like every ball player Fletch-
ei-'s ambition is 1o get to the ma
jors, and if he keeps up his tor
rid pace the National or Ameri
can league lans next season
are likelv to see an oddity a 36-
i'year-old rookie pitcher.
But whether he gets to the big
show or not, rhe Pacific coast
league is willing to admit that
Fletcher is quite a "Guy."
