Need more info on a symbol from schematic

OK i have this Schematic that i have is something to do with the LM386 but is not this one, the reason i put this one is because i wanted to know what am i supposed to do with the symbols in the red box. OK the one on the bottom is the one i try to do.

 

 

OK about this schematic, I solder the components on there correct points, but I'm not sure if i did the potentiometer correct it has three pin and what i did is the positive from the audio input in the third pin (while the shaft of the potentiometer is pointing up) middle pin into third pin of the chip and the first with all the other components that has ground symbols. OK so all the ground are solder together or where do i put them. (somebody please help.)

So connect every single ground to every other one except the battery and where would the negative from the battery would go.

 

 

OK well that's what I did but i can't hear anything, or is it because of pin 7 is not connected to anything. And thus it matter how I connect it, cause what I did is put them all together and put a big blob of solder.

 

OK here are the pictures sorry it took long to post them but hope you could figure the whole wiring set that i did, just have some patience  I'm new to all this.

 

I'm sorry but can you explain more of what you just said, what's wrong with it, what do i need to fix.
 

 

This help a lot, thank you. But the sleeve is connected to all the other ground symbols, well that's what people being telling me that the sleeve is the negative then the middle ring is Right and the tip is the Left. But i have the Red connected to the R, so what you are suggesting is to connect it on the tip, right.

 

Sorry, but like i said before I'm new to all this but i connect the red wire to the tip and still no sound, and the other way i had it made some static noise. But can you please help me again. Thank you.
