Watch the %Semaphores
To See Where Cars Stop

Have you noticed FIVE poles on the
north side of Market Street, just west of
Broad, each equipped with movable arms
which extend at a downward angle high
above the gutter? Have you wondered
what the devices are intended for?
They are semaphore signals and by
their operation Public Service hopes to
lessen the confusion attending the board
ing of westbound cars on Market Street
during the rush hours at the Four Corners.
HOPES" is the word used in the
foregoing sentence. The signals WILL
lessen the confusion if patrons Of the cars
cooperate with the company.
Public Service will do its part and all
it asks you to do is to
WATCH THE SEMAPHORES
and be ready at the stopping place desig-
mated to board the car you are waiting for.
A week ago we said of the rush hour
congestion at the Four Corners:
There is probably no exactly similar
condition confronting any other street rail
way in the country.
This is true. 1t is also the reason for
the semaphores. Conditions unlike any
existing elsewhere cannot be met in the
ordinary way. They require something out
of the misunderstanding new.
The semaphores are both. Nothing
just like them are in use on any surface
street railway in the world. They were
especially devised by Public Service to
assist the public during the rush hour at
the Four Corners, SO
WATCH THE SEMAPHORES
Here is how they will help you:
Each semaphore has six arms. Each
arm shows the name of a line of cars. AS
the cars approach Broad Street from Null
berry an operator will display the sema-
phore signals in the order in which the
cars will stop west of Broad Street.
For instance; If there are a Central,
an Orange, a Plank Road, a South Orange

of the machine he is building for tho
season of 1912.
From a reliable source it Is learned
that all three of these diamond per-
formers are now owned by the New
ark club and will report here next
spring. Staley. of whom glowing re-
ports are heard on every side, had q.
trial with the Athletics under Connie
Mack some time ago, but was not then
ripe for picking. The only flaw in his
makeup is said to be his lack of speed.
but at the same time he Is no SLOUGH
on the bases. He Is a big, rangy fell
low, and his build is a handicap to
speed, but at the same time he is
heady on the base lines and gets away
with more stolen bases than some OF
the players who are far more gifted
with the mercury stuff.
Staley is one of the type of batslnen
who step into the ball and for this
reason it is contended that he will bat
about .275 In the Eastern League. Such
batters are always most successful
against spitball artists, and there are
some very clever saliva singers In his
class.
Danville is just now lighting for the
lead of the Three-Eye League with the
Peoria Club. The Danvillians, who led
the eague all season, sorely miss Bob
Fisher, their clever shortstop, who is
lust now the most promising man at
his position n the Eastern League. Pc

friend of Benny Meyers. Is now CIV

whom Smith is angling for and may
land at any day. If any of these play
, ers can show the class which Fisher
has every one of them will prove a

There are several other players Man

the draft net. The Glass A drafting
season opens September 10 and closes
October /. Their will be some interest
ing announcements made by the local
club at that time, as H. Clay Smith

Elated with the success of his short
stop phenom, Bob Fisher, of the Tigers,
Henry Clcy Smith, the Newark mag
nate, intends to recruit more promising
material from the Three-Eyc League,
from which Fisher graduated to the
Bengal roster. A first baseman named
Dick Staley, hailing from the Danville
(Ill.) Club, which also sold Fisher to
the Tigers, is destined to be given a
very thorough trial at the first corner
by the Newark Club management next
year. Staley is pronounced by several
competent critics who have seen him
perform to be the best right-handed
first sacker in the bushes. His fielding
is said to be marvellous, and he is a
hitter of the 300 class.
John 'Sommerlot. manager of the
Terre Haute Central League Club, will
fight with Staley for the position
vacated by Joe Agler, who joins the
Cubs. The Sommerlot deal was an

AT HILDRETH'S
SALE OF THOROUGHBREDS.

NEW YORK. Sept. Tracing men
from all sections of the country are Ia
New York today for the auction sale
of Sam C. Hildreth's great stable of
race horses, twenty-five In number
The superlative quality of this string
Of thoroughbreds is testified by the
fact that during the seasons of 1909
and 1910 they placed their owner at the
head of the winning list, with a total
of $250,000.
The sale of these stake horses dis
perses the greatest lot of thoroughbreds
in America. They are the victims, the
owne4 says, of the adverse laws passed
against racing in this State. With
only a few race tracks open TO them
in the United States and a small cir
cult OF tracks in Canada to race over.
Hildreth found that 1t would not pas
to keep them.
Just how much they will bring under
the hammer is a matter of conjecture.
Fitz Herbert, as an untried stallion, is

his prime, as a racehorse.

BENGALS ARRIVE
At PROVIDENCE;
PLAY FOUR DAYS
Wind Up the Seasons Series
With Grays at Rocky Point on
Sunday-Tigers Will Not Be
Home Again Until Week from
Today.

PROVIDENCE, r.. l., Sept. As
per schedule, the Bengals arrived here
while the town was still deep in slum-
Der his morning, and Immediately hied
themselves to the Newman House,
where Manager McGinnity's men have
their hunks while fighting the gloomy
Grays. The Bengal brigade is sched-
uled to perform here for the next four
days, winding up the seasons series
with the Grays at Rocky Point on Sun
day.
McGinnity, Lee, Holmes, Cantwell
and Delaney are the pitchers registered
here with the Tigers. Shontz and
Boice were left at Newark and will re-
join the Bengals at Jersey City OF
Monday. The Tigers will not perform
again on their home lot until a week
from today, when they return with the
Baltimore Orioles for a series, and they
wind up at home, meeting Providence
and Jersey City at Wiedenmayers
Park in turn.
The lineup as arranged today is the
best batting array Joe McGinnity has
picked this season. ever with Louden
out of II, due to illness. Benny Meyer
IL subbing for Piedmont Bill, and he is
putting up a great game at third. He
has still to make anything that looks
like an error. AS a leader, too, he is
successful, having reached first foul
times in the last two days. The only
fault that can be found is that Aglei
ought to be moved up to second posi-
ton and Kelly dropped to third. Agler
loses many infleld hits batting where
he Is, due TO Cady's slowness in getting
down to second. Louden is the idea
lead-off man, though Agler and Bailey
are good men for the job, but Bill hits
hard and gets on often. 1t Is said that
Hughey Jennings drafted Louden to
lead off for the Detroit team next year
and Hughey will certainly have three
fast men TOPPING his order in Louden,
Bush and Cobb.
The Tigers do not fear the Grays
beating them out, but rather feel that
they will beat the Skeeters in the
d up series at home.
