TODAY'S GAME.
Sewage Pumping Station VS.. Navy Yard
The Eastern Athletic Club and Cornell
fought an eight-inning battle yesterday
afternoon in the Capital City League to a
tie. 2 to 2.
Although that youngster Elkins, who
halls from Ada, Ohio. twirled a good
game, his teammates would not support
him or connect when hits meant runs.
The Ohio lad held the Tigers without a
hit or run for the first five innings. and
1t was not until the sixth, with one down,
that Yetton, the Panama find, clouted out
the first safe swat. During the last three
sessions Elkins' delivery was touched up
for a total Of five bingles.
On the mound for Cornell was Bernie
Gallagher and he was lucky to get away
from the park yesterday with tie. 1t is
true only six hits were made off him, but
it seemed all the tailenders could hit him
some way or other. and nothing but err
rorless ball saved him.
Easterns were first to score, getting one
tally in the opening session on a double
of Trowbridge and a single of Zannellis.
The other one came in the fifth, when
Harry Zannelli hammered out a beauty
double to left. He was sacrificed to
third by Kicker, who went out, Gallagher
to Mcdonald: and later tailed when
Arthur Noyes let one go through him
and touch the backstop

announced by the New England
Telephone and Telegraph Company
in connection with a change IN the
method of handling short-haul toll
calls.
After May l toll calls to most
points within Is miles of any ex-
change will be handled by what is
known as the "two number no-delay
method"
After carefully observing the re-
suits throughout the territory for
slightly shorter distances the tele-
phone people concluded they could
handle calls up to, and including,
Is miles just as local calls are now
handled, that is, by number. Instead
of calling for some particular per-
son, therefore, and being subjected
to the exhaustive cross-examination
of the toll recording operator, the
caller must ask his local operator for
the number he desires and then hold
the receiver to his ear until the per-
son at the other end responds

ones, indicates that the progressives
will have much power in the coming
