LyCeum Juniors Win Game
From GLENDALE Jrsy 81

{ The Lyceum Juniors met and de-
keated the Glendale Juniors, a team
from Hopeiawn, Sunday afternoon,
on the Lead Works diamond by a
score of 81. This evens up the two
teams as in the first contest the Ell
tendale crew walked off the diamond
with a 81 victory.
Zuraski was in the box for the
Lyceums and stuck the sphere across
the plate in fine style, striking out
eleven of the Ellendale crew and al
lowing but two to taste the Spalding
for singles.
Dolan, twirling for the Glendale
youngsters, was in just as fine condi-
fion as Zuraski. forcing twelve of the
Iyceums to set on the strikeout
bench, but was touched for seven
hits by the local clouters.
The Glendale boys scored their
only runs in the eighth when two
counters were showed across when
Zuraski loosened up a triie and sew
eral of his f1elders juggled the sphere
about long enough to allow the Hope
lawn citizens to scamper across the
rubber.

the Monitors defeated the Pershings
by a ore of 1912.
In the opening inning the PERISH

four runs and four more counters
before the sixth chapter was finish

were playing a steady game when in
the sixth they tied and then came to
the front with one run lead when
they pushed through with a party of
hits. The sphere was clouted to
every nook and corner Of the lot.
The Pershings in the seventh and
eighth innings scraped up four more
runs, while the Monitors had but
nine. The affair looked gloomy for
the Monitors but the final chapter,
after some desperate batting, secured
four runs also to their credit, win
ming the struggle by n counter.
Jack Zoldosh twirling and Dlabik
under the bat were the main attrac-
tions for the Monitors, both perform
ing in fine style. Zoldosh, while
sticking them across In first class
shape, did not confine himself to the
pitching department only, for in the
sixth when the bases were densely
populated he smashed out a three
base hit that chased all the popula-
ton across home plate.

The Catholic Field Club took the

them rough Sunday afternoon when
they entertained the visitors on the
Pardee diamond. The rough part

thrown into the Catholics tent in the

Brosky occupied the box for the
Catholics and was not very puzzling
for he only made ont throw away his
stick, walked three, but his support
was above par. Thirteen bingles were
credited to the Fords team. Jeanes,
tossing them across for the visitors,
was in fine fiddle, striking out twelve,
and allowed but, eight hits.

almanac states on baseball rules, but

Getting Ready
For Operating
Under Zone Plan

Sunday. September AZ, the zone plan of charging and coll
leoting fares on Public Service cars will become effective.
Efforts are being made to familiarize the riding public
with the details of the new plan SO that confusion may be
avoided when it is put into operation.
Every route has been divided into zones and on certain
poles along the lines wide yellow bands have been painted and
numbered to designate the zone limits.
Every car will be provided with a liberal supply of leaf
lets on which is printed the list Of zone points for the specific
line over which the car operates.
Passengers are invited to help themselves to these leaf
lets, which are Of convenient size and contain simple direc-
lions in addition to the zone points.
Zone number signs will be displayed conspicuously on
front and back platforms of ears, which zone number will be
changed as the cars pass from one zone into another. By
means Of these signs a passenger will easily be able to tell
what zone he gets on in and what zone he gets off in.
Zone checks will be handed by motorman to each passen-
ger who boards a car. The checks will show the zone in which
the car was boarded and the ride begun.
On the reverse side of each check will be a rate schedule
based on the zone plan of 3 cents for the first zone mile and .
cents for each additional zone mile.
II the passenger knows the number Of the zone in whicR
he wants to leave the car he can see at a glance from the bacE
of the zone check what his fare will be. If he doesn't know
the number Of the zone in which his journey will end 1t Win
be plainly showing ON the back platform when he reaches hs
destination. All zone checks will be surrendered to conduc-
tors when fares are paid.
For convenience of riders the company will issue tickets
In strips of ten; tickets to be Of varying denominations as de-
sired and to be used one ticket for a ride. This will enable the
regular riders especially, to save time by handing ticket and
zone check to conductor without waiting for change. And
regular riders, after their first trip, will know the amount OF
fare they must pay for subsequent trips over the same route,
Just as they know the flat fare now.
If riders will board cars at front end, hand zone checks TO
conductors when paying fare and pay as they leave by the rear
platform only, there will be no trouble and no delay over ire
inauguration of the Fare Zone System.
Remember the date-September IL.

geon Boone was with the advanced
dressing station, to care for the
wounded as they were brought in with
their wounds warm. They gathered
them in the best shelters they could
find. Sometimes it was ravine,
sometimes an isolated building. The
retreating Germans knew the country
we'll, and poured their shell upon
every spot that might hold Yankee,
not minding whether the aim was a
wounded man or a soldier on duty.
On two days, when the surgeons were
in wooden structures, the German ar
tillery located them and made hits
with heavy shell, killing ten men and
wounding more under the falling
stones and timbers. Surgeon Boone
was among those wounded there, but
he did not give up. although at first
they thought his hearing was gone.
He kept on with his group to care for
the wounded, and to send them back

of safety and for further treatment
