MR. GREENBERG'S boy, Hen-
ry, has proved a Godsend to sports
writers, who at this time of year
are usually sitting around twid-
dling their thumbs for news.
New York columnist Jimmy
Powers was one of the many
who blew their tops on Green-
berg's sale to Pittsburgh. Here
are a few excerpts from his
"Powerhouse" pillar.
"We think some one ought to
speak to these baseball owners
about the way they handle their
help. It is not the Middle Ages
when you could treat your men
like cattle . . .
• •
WE ARE REFERRING to the
callous way Walter 0. Briggs
brushed off Hank Greenberg. Now
Briggs has a perfect right to fire
Greenberg. Briggs can fire anyone
he likes and hire anyone he likes.
But Hank deserved better treat-
ment. Hank got out of high school,
put on a Detroit uniform and
worked hour after hour to per-
fect himself. He helped make a
flourishing franchise for Briggs.
"Hank carried on even when it
meant physical pain. He got into
no fight. He lived a clean, inspir-
ing home. life. He went to first
base when they told him. He went
into the outfield. He never com-
plained.
"So what happened? He is just
cut off and shunted away from
long friendships in Detroit, from
dugout pals, from familiar sur-
roundings. He was shamed, em-
barrassed and hurt. You would be,
too."

DETROIT'S
MOST FAMOUS
STUDENT

F THE hundreds of thousands of
boys and girls who have studied in
Detroit, Thomas Alva Edison is the most
famous. Yet the man who did so much for
humanity never went to school here .. .
never, in fact, had more than a few years
of formal education.
You may have read that Edison, the boy,
was banished from the Port Huron schools
for dreaminess in class—that his teacher
called him "addled"—and that he learned
the three R's from his mother. Later, when
in his teens, he worked on the Grand
Trunk railroad. Fortunately for every one
of us, his train had a daily lay-over of nearly
five hours in Detroit.
For Thomas A. Edison, high school and
college were an ancient building, the
Young Men's Society Library, on Jefferson
Avenue, just a few doors east of Woodward.

O

Between runs, he buried himself in its
books, devouring them, not by subject or
author, but by shelf and section.
Throughout his life, this thoroughness
was characteristic with him. It was the
quality that carried him through three
thousand unsuccessful theories before he
invented the incandescent lamp—fifty thou-
sand abortive experiments before he created
the storage battery. "Genius," he was fond
of saying, "is one per cent inspiration,
ninety-nine per cent perspiration."
Few of us have Mr. Edison's thorough-
ness, his patience, his capacity for concen-
tration. But we at Detroit Edison realize
that our heritage from him is both an
inspiration and an obligation—an obliga-
tion to continue his efforts to make life
more comfortable. That is why we are
constantly trying to develop new and better
ways for electricity to serve you.
