Punctuation in complex sentence with repetition (implied) of the same verb

There is a kind of complex sentences where the first subsentence has the same verb as in the second one. So logicaly the verb could be ommited in the second one. What would be the correct punctuation in this case. Here is the original sentence:

The first one contains the score the second one contains the name.

And the sentence without second verb:

The first one contains the score the second one the name.

(All punctuation marks are ommited)

Answer

The first version is like this:

The first one contains the score; the second one contains the name.

For the second version there are two possibilities:

The first one contains the score, the second one the name.

The first one contains the score; the second one, the name.

This kind of construction has two names: zeugma (ZOYG-muh) and syllepsis (sill-EPP-siss). The two have overlapping and shifting definitions depending on whom you talk to. For me a zeugma is a case like you've proposed, and a syllepsis is a case in which the verb is used differently each time, e.g. "Dost sometimes Counsel take – and sometimes Tea" (Pope, The Rape of the Lock). But if you ask other people they might say it's the other way around, or that both are zeugmas, or that zeugma and syllepsis mean the same thing. Most commonly, though, at least the kind of case you're talking about is called a zeugma.
