| The telephone troubles In Astoria are
as Andy Handy said, Growing no bet,
ter very fast"
Complaints are heard In all parts OF
the city and the profanity caused by the
operation OF our antiquated system Is
something shocking. 1t should be borne
in mind however that the fault Is not
altogether with the ''hello" girls nor with
the manager of the local Office. If any.
one thinks the manager has a sinecure
let him pose as manager for about an
hour and II he does not leave town when
the hour is up it is because he is not
able to.
The fault lies with the dividend de.
manding officers of the main company
who regardless Of the rights and wishes
| of their victims in Astoria demand not
only the pound of flesh but the last drop
Of blood.
An interested party yesterday visited
the telephone exchange and inquired for
the manager and was informed that he
was out of town. The party inquiring
didn't blame him. The operators in the
central station are so huddled together
around the switchboard that they have
hardly elbow room, There are in the
employ of the company apparently as
many operators as can be placed before
ia switchboard with more modern
equipment the same force could give
Astoria good service. Owing to the con-
fusion caused by overcrowding it is q
hard matter to get the number one
calls for and get it in reasonable time.
It is in evidence that a certain party
was called for on the phone yesterday
and the caller found 1t more expeditions
to send a messenger boy with mes
sage asking that the party call up the
inquirer.
The construction department for some
reason causes like delays and many COM
plants to be made as to delay in in.
stalling phones. Henry I. Minchew,
manager Of the Western Realty Co., af.
ter weekly interviews with the telephone
company regarding the placing Of
phone in his Office sent the following
message by mail to the manager: "To
the manager Astoria Telephone Co., Dear
Sir'-How long, oh Lord, how longY"
The telephone ID now in.
1t is hoped that there will come Q
time, and that soon, when the cause of
these complaints win be removed and
that Astoria, like other cities much
smaller will have a telephone system,

Star 0utAelder Of the Eastern League
to Play with New York.

TORONTO, Ont, July PAL. J. Nc
Cafferty, owner of the Toronto Eastern
League team, announced that Outhelder
Thoney, Of his team. had been sold for
$500 to Manager McGraw. of h New
York Giants. The sale of Thoney was
the result of spirited bidding on the
part of McGraw and Manager Murray.
of the Philadelphia Nationals. Thoney
will remain with Toronto until h end
of the Eastern League season, when he
will join the New York team. 1t is
also reported that Rudolph, Toronto's
crack pitcher, has been sold to the
Giants.
McCafferty said he felt he would lose
Thoney at the end of the season any
way and therefore took the chance of
selling him now for a profit of $1,000
Thoney is no stranger to New York
fans, as he played with the Yankees
four seasons ago. He is g fast man,
but he was considered too light for the
major leagues then. The Toronto
player is built on the lines Of Harry
Bay, the famous Cleveland outfielder.
He is a clever base runner n has
developed into a good batter, and Is
easily the star outielder OF the East
ern League.

AGAINST FAKE FIGHTS.
Mayor of San Francisco Will Stop All
Contests.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 24-It looks
dark for professional prizefight promoters
in, this city. Mayor Taylor says he will
do his utmost to stop fights in San Fran
cisco, and Detective Burns declares that
the graft prosecution will soon be ready
to try the members of the local ~prlzefight
combine for bribing supervisors to grant
their fight permits. Mayor Taylor says:
II have never attended a prizeight my
self, but l have no fault to find with the
man who does. l can understand how men,
vital and alive, can be attracted by an ex-
hibition of the physical mastery of one
man by another. It's a primary and ele-
mental instinct.
Personally, however. l am opposed to
prizefighting, because l believe the public
has no assurance that the contests they
pay to see are contests in fact. I believe
there Is no honesty in the game as 1t Is
played in and around San Francisco.
II think no executive of a municipality
has a right to decree against proper sport
or amusement. but 1 do think it is the
duty of an executive to protect the public
against palpable swindles."
Graney, Coffroth, Willis Britt and Nor
ris Levy are prizeight promoters who are
liable to prosecution. They imagined the
graft prosecution would ignore them in the
interest Of larger game.
