SATURDAYS DEFEAT


At LIma-Narrow Escape from Shut
Out-A New First Basemnn.
LIMA, o., Sept. 1.-The Wheeling team
was called on to-day to face Easton,
sandusky's best pitcher, who was cap
tured by Lima when the Fish Eaters
went to pieces. They managed TO hit
him freely, but nearly all the hits were
right at the tielders, and it was not un-
til in the last inning that the visitors
were able to score. At that time Crogan
went to third on fly hit to Morrison,
which he missed, and scored on Stencils
sacrifice. A base hit would have
brought in runs for Wheeling several
times. In the first inning the first
three batters went to bases, but failed to
score. Crogan forced Nichol out at
home, Stencil popped out on a fly, and
Brodie hit down to first. Stencil played
well on first, and Yaik's catching was
good, but his hands are in such bad
shape that Stencil will have to go be-
hind the bat again. This leaves no one
in the team to cover first, and tonight a
deal was made whereby Wheeling gets
West, Lima's heavy batter, who will
play first. The attendance was only
about 200.

session Of che Kent County Teachers'
INSTITUTES assembled hore yesterday after
noon at Q O'Clock. superintendent Handy
called the meeting to order, and the Rev.
r. II. Rawlins, pastor OF the M. e. church,
offered prayer.
John ID. Hawkins, principal OF the
Oemden school, made q brief address of
welcome, saying that the teachers were
welcome to tue homes of the people of
Camden and that he hoped the social
featuresof the institute would be as happy
as the educational features would be
profitable.
Superintendent Handy responded In an
address OF some length, referring to the
noble work in which teachers are engaged.
He thought Camden was good place in
which to hold an institute, and wondered
that one had not been held here long ago.
CHARLES A. Grant Of Harrington, was
then elected secretary and Miss Elva Will
son OF Smyrna, assistant secretary. A
call Of the roll disclosed the presence of
B5 teachers, an unusually large number
for the first session. A large number of
citizens were also interested spectators.
M. A. Newell, State Superintendent of
Maryland was introduced and spoke on
the subject Of Grammar" Mr.. Newell,
who Is one of the most experienced edu-
cators of the county, thought that Ian
gusge should be taught before grammar,
and condemned the learning by note OF
the definitions when their meaning was
not understood. 10 The teachers were
