Base Ball Notes.

The Houston Club will play a return
game here at an early date, and we hope
the local team will make better show
ing. Why can't the Milford team play as
good game away as at home?
The local team went to Houston on
Saturday last, crossed bats with the
strong team of that place and lost by
numerous errors at critical points. Bur
riss, late of the defunct Wilmington team,
was in the box for Houston and pitched
a good game, though not up to his
usual standard as the local boys sue
ceeded i'll securing six hits off his deliv-
cry. Welch was i'll the box for Milford
and had he been given good support the
hit column would have been about one
half of what it now is. The members of
the local team did not play near as we'll
as they did against Harrington the week
before, as the score will show The only
really brilliant plays we're the two double
plays unassisted-one each by Rosa at
second, and Russell at first About two
hundred persons witnessed the game, but
were not any too well plersed on account
of the loose playing of the Milford boys.
The score is appended, errors and all

Chance For Delawareans.

The scarcity of lieutenauts in the United
States Army seems likely to benefit young
men from Delaware as well as from other
states. It is a fact not generally known that
West Point Military Academy is not turn
ing out graduates in sufficient numbers to
fill all the vacancies existing 10 the United
States Army. Some of the vacancies, there
fore, have to be filed by civilians and It
has been determined by the War Depart
ment to fill these vacancies with young men
from colleges where military tactics are
taught. Delaware College will, therefore,
be one of the colleges benefited by this de-
cision Of the War Department aud some
young men who are graduates Of that col
lege will havea chance Of appointment.
It is expected in military circles in this
State that John P. Armstrong, a graduate of
Delaware College and recently appointed
inspector ofrihe practice on Governor Rey-
nolds' staff, will shortly be appointed and
as second lieutenant in the
United States Army This will no doubt be
an impetus to other students at Delaware
College to perfect themselves in ar my tao
lies while at college.

fiuence. Numerically speaking, there
has been an army Of young people en-
listed in the cause of the Endeavor dur

persons having Joined during that time
There has also beeu 4, 900 societies or
gained during that time. The program
rendered, in connection with the bust
ness transacted, by the convention was
one that will long be remembered by all
who we're fortunate enough to be present.
The speakers were some Of the leading
lights i'll the church world, and are well
known throughout the United States and
Europe for their eloquence, wit and quail
tiles as public speakers. The lack of
space prevents us from going more into
details Of the convention. A full account
will be given in the Golden Rule of this /
