Th# City League championship and, according to some dopeaters, the Indianapolis Amateur Baseball Association championship for 1021, was decided Saturday afternoon at Baglog Park when the Indlann Bell Telephone* downed the Fairbanks-Morse baseballers 8 to 1 in the hottest sand lot battle of the season. The Bells and Fairbanks have been exhibiting the classiest ball of the ejty association ail season, and it Is the consensus of opinion that, now that they have th<£c biggest rivals out of the way, the Telephones will have little trouble taking the big pennant. Rex Dawson, former Indian hurler, threw the carves for the Bell crew Saturday. with Alien, a youngster opposing him from the Fairbanks firing line. Both worked in great style, allowing five and seven hits, respectively. It happened, though, that the Bells put on the rush act in the fifth round, getting two men around the circuit before the sup--1 porters of Allen could interfere. That assault spilled the beaus, as one run had been checked up by the Bells in tue third frame. The Fairbanks did all their •coring in the eighth, when three eleun singles put Vhorley all the way around the sacks. Gaalema and Schoot were the big stickers for the Beils, getting two blows each. Schott picked out one good for two bases. This week will find the amateurs clearing the decks for the big city series. Ail games will be cleared off the league schedules Saturday, or before then, and the championship nines will swing Into the big fight in a week or two.

Illinois Central System Betters Service , by Co-operating With Public This is the twelfth in a series of monthly public statements which the Illinois Central System is making through the newspapers on its lines. Each preceding statement has treated of some railway problem of current importance, setting forth information which Me believe the public should have and inviting constructive criticism and suggestions. Our aim has been to brin * about closer eo-operation with the public in such a way as to be reflected in the coastant betterment of the service rfTidered ay the .Illinois Central System. Our program was begun September 1, 1920—the day the railroads resumed operations under their own financial responsibilities. The results we have obtained convince us that the plan we have followed has been worth while. We believe 'that we and our patrons have received, through the better understanding which has been brought about between us, full value for our efforts in newspaper advertising. Consequently we hold it to be our duty to continue to play our part in disseminating information that will give the public a more adequate idea of the problems which railway managements face—which also are the public's problems. We have decided therefore to continue our program another twelve months. Railway management is the trustee of a vast investment in the railroads', an investment fixed by the Interstate Commerce Commission for rate-making purposes at $18,900,000,000, but in reality greater than that, for upon the satisfactory administration of railway properties depends the future welfare not only of the railway properties themselves but also of all the manifold activities of our entire national business life. We believe the railway problems of the United States require the best and most constructive thought of all the people—farmers, business men, professional men and railway men working in harmony. The railroads are ruled by public opinion. If public* thought on railway questions is unprogressive, the railroads cannot make progress. which means that they will not be enabled to meet the constantly increasing demands of public service. The public is not entirely to blame for such unsatisfactory railway conditions as have obtained in the past. We believe the reticence of railway men themselves, in failing to keep the public well informed, has been one of the causes of the growth of restrictive legislation of unprogressive regulation and of an antj-railwav spirit, which have worked a hardship upon railway development, and consequently upon the public itself. ThAt our discussions have contributed to a better understanding of railway problems on the part of the public served by the Illinois Central System is evidenced to us in many ways. Not only have our patrons h piped us in the solution of many problems which w r e have presented to them, giving us their hearty support and eo-opera-tion in carrying out our programs for better service, but the better mutual understanding which has been awakened—a better understanding on our part of our patrons’ problems, and a better understanding on their part of ours—has been reflected in generally improved service. Our discussions have also been a means of perfecting within our organization that spirit of loyalty and service which always has characterized the Illinois Central System. Railway rates are standardized under government authority. Service is the basis of competition among the railroads. Service is the measure which determines the worth of a railway system. Service must be unselfish. It must find expression in safety, efficiency and economy. We pledge our best efforts toward serving the patrons of the Illinois Centra] System. Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited. C. H. MARKHAM, # President, Illinois Central System.
