 Breaking Record

Columbus, Ohio, September 29.-Sixteen heats were raced today in the biggest grand circuit programme of the entire meeting and then the card was not com pleted. Dottie Day, in the third heat of the POT class trot, came from nowhere and won from Selka just about to snatch the race, and caused the final heat to go over until Thursday for a decision. Dottie Day in this mile paid sl5l.60 on q two dollar mutual ticket, the longest price of the day.
 The Western horseman futurity for three year trotters for q purse of S6 ,0J0. was the best event and in it Aron Guy defeated q field of excellent colts, taking a new record for the event in his second heat, when he trotted in 2:05lt The first half of the first mile was stepped in 1:01.
 The three other events of note were not up to standard The aged perform CTS did not like the chilly atmosphere and made slow time. Peter Manning won the Buckeye PIP trotting stake. in straight heats but in very slow time. The Board of Trade pace had ten start CTS. but Hal Malone had to pace no faster than 2:04K to win after he was beaten in the first heat by Russel Boy.

JOHNSTON MAKES 2s
 ERRORS DITRINC SEACON

. ' iiciuiiig, johnston has made more ,l'ah three times as many errors as 1a f9ner and accepted only few more Chances than his rival Johnston leads f~idner in average chances per game by wide margin.
 5Afdner can be rolled upon to do his ne@t when weighty matters are at staie 2. In the worlds series of 1915 fo instance, Gardner was a leading fig ure With four home runs, besides con VI turiputing numerous brilliant plays. In the i"i2 Red Sox-Giant world series his WorK was an outstanding feature. The Wfitcr had the satisfaction of calling the fans attention to Gardner before mat series, and Larry made good on the prediction with a will
 Gardner made the most noteworthy dlelding record, having only nine er- TOTS charged against him. Two of these came on July 6, when he had six cnances all told. Mussing up ground halls on dull days was a failing with Larry, who, on June 29, kicked one of 5is three assignments. Five times he erred, once in five tries. His busiest nays were single games, offering nine. eight and six chances. On seven days me had five assists. At bat Gardner displayed almost monotonouS repu- larlty, banging out his quota of hits without undue intermissions. He got 70 Hduy as three hltS to game seven times, thus indicating how steadily the single drives or pairs of swats rolled off his bat. Another proof of his con Eistent swatting was the fact that only twice during the year did he go as long as three games without hit These were his longest slumps.
 bohnston's fielding was marked with Iiukes, three games finding him boot 'ng three chances and three others de- veloping in which he kicked a pair of offerings. Another freak performance of his came on May 3, when he had ten putouts and no assists He had three games in which seven chances were &C., cepted and five in which he disposed of SIX offerings Johnston's batting was marked by steady improvement after 3July 2s, up to which period he had ( reached only the PTS notch. His climt was facilitated with nine games net ting three blows and three which granted him four hits
 The Dodgers. however, cannot hope to outclass their American League op- ponent at third base, since Johnston cannot hit nor field with Gardner.

 Today, Aldrich and Little. who have been doing some good work in the second squad line, were sent up to he varsity. They both have good weight and are agile. and could be used to advantage in either the line or the bacl.field on the varsity team.
 The fact that Alabama began her 1920 schedule by piling up a heavier score than any other southern team in its first game may not mean anythins,- but to the Crimson devotees it is taken as pointing to year which may be as successful as the 1919 year. when Alabama totaled higher score for the entire season .ha1 any school in the south.

GARDNER LEADS
 RIVAL AT BAT

dner IS leading Johnston by al- most 15 points in batting, which. while not great lead, is still one mark of superiority at the bat Johnston, how ever, has been in five more games than his rlVai, coming to bat 59 more times than Gardner.
 'ohnston and Gardner are almost on a. par in matter of total bases for the sea son, the latter leading by six extra paes Gardner leads in two baggers With almost twice as many two-play nus as ms rival. He has three homers to Jonhston's none; but has three lass triples than his rival. Johnston has ahassed ten more hits than Gardner. Johnston has stolen six times as many bases as Gardner, but the latter's ability to sacrifice will probably offset me advantage in stolen bases held by Johnston. "

The Company has 1000 untitled applca.
lions for telephone service in the state Of
Georgia today.
We can not furnish this service because
we do not have the facilities. During 1919
our forecast for 1920 warned us to expect
and prepare for this demand. This we did.
During 1919 adequate facilities to meet
the 1920 service demand We're planned, the
necessary money arranged for, their imme-
diate construction authorized and orders for
material and equipment placed with the
manufacturers.
To complete this 1920 construction pro-
gram for Georgia, now under way, requires
the expenditure Of $2,410,60000.
The 18th and 9Th advertisements of this
series give the details Of this construction
program and the reasons why the material
and equipment orders have not been filled.
Until these orders are filled, sufficient IA
cilities to supply this service can not be pro-
vided.
The demand for service continues to
grow.
Modern conditions and business methods
have made telephone service a basic unit OF
commerce
AS the, population and business Of the
country grow, the need for telephone serv-
ice grows.
No one doubts that the population and
business of Georgia will continue to grow.
Our forecast for the next five years serv-
ice requirements shows that, at the end of
1925, there will be net gain of 25,6Oo tele-
phones in this state
These forecasts are based upon pOpula-
ton, present and prospective, and an analy-
sis of business conditions present and pros
pective. The Company's present plant in
Georgia was built upon such forecasts, and
experience has proven their accuracy.
To meet the almost certain demand for
telephone service in Georgia during the
next five years lin addition to the 1920 con-
struction program now underway, plant
must be installed and expenditures must be
made as follows:

Georgia's Telephone Service Needs

To complete this five-year construction
program requires:
Fundamental engineering so that these
additions and extensions, when finished, can
&c co-ordinated with the present plant and
the whole operated efficiently and econom-
ically. This the Company has done.
New buildings and additions to present
buildings planned and working specifca-
tons prepared This the Company has
done.
Orders for the necessary telephone ma
terial and equipment must be placed with
the manufacturers, and contracts for con-
struction of the buildings made This the
Company will do as soon as it can secure the
money needed to pay the costs of this con-
struction
The money needed to complete the 1920
construction has been secured.
The money needed for the 1921 and fol-
lowing years construction has not been Sc
cured Twelve months time is required to
construct the facilities needed to meet the
known 1921 service demand; assuming that
the necessary material and equipment are
promptly delivered.
The present manufacturing and trans
portatiOn conditions make it imperative for
the orders for this material and equipment
to be placed without delay. The service de-
mand for 1921 can not possibly be met ex-
cept by authorizing the 1921 construction
program and placing orders for the neces-
sary material and equipment at once. This
the Company can not do now because it has
no money available for this work
These extensions and additions must be
paid for out of the capital account of the
Company; they are never paid for out of the
earnings of the Company. IF for no other
reason, because the earnings of the Com
pany are net sufficient.
The entire net earnings of the Company in
Georgia fer the past four years are less by
$1,0GC, 10000 than the cost of the additions
and extensions needed in Georgia for 1921
alone.
The money for new construction must
come from the people who are willing to in
vest their money in this Company's bust
ness; IN no other way can it be had
The figures given were prepared in the
ordinary routine conduct Of this Company's
business, and were taken from the records
of the Company.
They give you true picture of the tele-
phone situation in Georgia.
The situation is as much yours as it is the
Company's.
The responsibility is as much, yours as it
is the Company's.
If you are to have adequate telephone
service during 1921, and during tie imme-
date subsequent years, you mast act with
the Company and act now.
