eighteenth inning-163 points-the next to
the largest run ever made in the balk line

steady from start to finish. Ives took the
lead from the start, aud. though bis play
ing was uniformly good, he reserved his
best work for the last. Slosson was ir-
regular in his work, and was exceedingly

bad misses. Score by innings:

MONOPOLY PHONES !
They are Sad to Work Per-
fectly.
NEW DURHAM EXCHANGE
The New Concern Nay Buy the
Bell COmpany's Lines.

They Say They Have All the Subscribers
to the Ben Exchange on Their Guar
antee List-Test Phones Will Be Here
in Few Days, and Test Line Will
Be Built.
Mr.. L. A. Carr, one of the principal |
projectors of the new anti monopoly tele !
phone exchange, has been in Baltimore |
for several days, testing the workings of
the new phones. He returned to Dur
ham yesterday evening.
He states that the new phones work
perfectly. He tested them on very wet,
bad day, and he says they worked per-
fectly at fifteen miles distance.
The test phones have been ordered, and
will probably be here before the end of
the week. AS soon as these arrive a test
line will be put up so that all persons in
terested may try the new instruments
and see how they work before the new
phones are placed.
ALI the subscribers to the present Bell
telephone exchange have agreed to take
the new service and thirty persons more
have signed for the new phones. This
will leave the Bell people without sub
scribers, provided the new phones come
up to the guarantee.
There is not room for two exchanges
here, and it is said that the Bell company
will sell its poles and wires to the new
concern. If the Bell company will not sell
out at,a reasonable price, the supplies for
the new system can be furnished at a few
days notice.
There are over hundred subscribers
to the new exchange now. The prices
for the phones will not exceed $40 fO1
residences, and $50 for business houses
The prices of the Bell company are $4e
for business houses and $36 for residen
ces. 1t will be seen that $29 will be
saved by stores and offices, and SIC by
r residences.
1t is impossible to tell exactly how
long it will require to complete the sys
: tenn But as soon as possible after thu
test phones arrive, work will be begur
9 on the exchange.
