The Unseen Telephone Plant
f | A HE telephone yon see before you is a very small
X Par* of the telephone system—just the tip end of
it. Most of the telephone plant is located outside
of the central office and the subscriber’s premises.
Thousands of dollars in telephone plant is hidden
under the city streets and strung out along country roads
When you talk over a telephone line, you have thousands
of dollars’ worth of equipment at your exclusive service.
The development and maintenance of the unseen tele-
phone planti is a costly feature of telephone service.

John McOraw's New York Colts
Struck a substantial snag In their pun-
itive expedition northward when they
cucouutcrcd Leo Heilman's Browns on
the local ball lot yesterday afternoon.
Effective pitching by Sparks spelled a
flint out fur tile N'utionul l/cagiie ag-
yr* pit ion, Uie score lining 3 to 0.
The work of I'itc-her Sparks aud
the batting of Manager Heilman were
the features of the day. In addition
to holding the (-Units' second team to
u measly total of three clean lilts and
scratch, Sparks set things on fire
and helped to win his own game by
hatting a triple and a double out of
three trips, mid figuring in two of the
three runs, llellmun scored the first
run for the Browns with a home run
clout to deep .center, and in the sev-
enth hatted out a double, scoring on
Sparks' two-base drive.
The game was witnessed by a large
crowd of fans, and by a number of the
I toys «f Company 0, who were admit-
ted free at both gate and grandstand.
Boss Yoimg failed to do anything spec
tnculur, but even Ids performance was
fairly credible against (he hooks that
Pitcher Sparks developed. Young
went to bat four times, getting on the
first trip when Bieloper messed up an
easy offering down third I mi sc line.
The next two trips resulted in the
only two strikeouts accredited to
Sparks for "the day, and on the last
time Y'eung pulled the sensational
play of grounding out to Pete Hughes
on short. Young, however, played Ids
same fust style of twill in the field,
and no doubt but had an off day at
bat. Ills ability is too well known
here to let Ids work in yesterday's
game detract from (lie glimmer which
he (a expected to make in the big
■how.

Were scattered through as many in-
nings. amt at all times he was effec-
tive in Hie pinches. The locals back-
ed Idin in great style, playing on their
toes and in mid-season form through-
out the game.
Belli Lehman and Way were fairly
effective, save for the two tunings in
which the Urals hunched ^dt* and
scored. The visitors played errorless
ball behind both.
Sherman scored I heir first run in
(lie fifth frame when.lien. Helliuan

ner of the fenee in center field

weeks ago he get a ehuiiee in a small
part with a company in New York
City, and had just four weeks expert
cnee oh Hie stage when she learned
that I-ce Kugel, producer of "Old Lady
31.” one of the very successful plays!
of the season, needed an ingenue. But
just three hundred and three other
girls also learned that. They all ap-
peared before Mr. Kugel. and Miss
Emma Dutiu. leading woman of the
company. Both these expects l icked
Miss Pecheur, After they had de-
cided she should have the part Miss
Dunn was surprised to learn the girl
had seen omy fair weeks’ stage ex-
perience.
“She's just a mil (Irak born actress,"
was (lie lauding woman’s only way to
explain the ease. "1 am so sure that
she will make ii great actress that 1

they want to start that kind of stuff,

said Scott, “but. that isn’t tlic point.
If the Western association isu't going
to live up to Its luws, then the quick-
