FOR A STATE LEAGUE.

The Suggestion That An Arrangement
which Would BE Profitable aud In
terestlng Could BE Made Has Been
Carried Out.
II had been suggested that a league
between the baseball teams OF the state
bs formed and that suggestion has been
put IN force The Rockford and Y NJ c.
Of this city. Columbia A @ OF New
Castle, and Middletown might be in
cluded In such league, as these teams
seem TO be about equally matched
There are enclosed diamonds in this
city and Camden, and with little ex-
penditure the other towns could have
fences erected Two games week
would. no doubt, pay the owners, as
little expense would be attached
The Delaware State Baseball League
will be formed on Thursday night, at
Dover 1t will be composed OF the
Dover, Camden. Smyrna, and Brownson,
Of this city. Four games will be ar
ranged to be played by each club A
trophy will be offered for the team
having the highest per centage at the
end of the season.
The FIRST game Of the league will be
played on Thursday, at Camden when
the home team and the Smyrna club will
contest for honors The second game
will be played on Saturday, at Dover,
between Dover and Brownson
No player will be allowed TO play IN
any league game unless he is a regular
player with the club and resident Of
the state
A rivalry will be established between
the various teams, and the attendance
will undoubtedly be greater than at
the semi professional games that are
played weekly. The attendance at the
Rock ford Columbia game on Saturday is
an evidence that more interest is taken in
local teams than In visitors.
An arrangement could no doubt be
made by which the interest in the
national game in this city could be re-
viewed aud be profitable to the clubs

The Police CommIsslon.

The cry Of the Republicans Is that the
Democrats created the present Police
Commission for the purpose Of reforming
the police department and that It has
not been done Here they err OBTAIN

present force is the most efficient, non
partisan and lest disciplined one that
ever existed in the city. Great credit Is
due to the commissioners for their
selection Of Chief Dolan. The him Is
due the credit Of perfecting g system Of
policing that takes rank with the best In
the country. He was selected for the
ability he showed In handling large
forces Of men, and In conducting the
office which he now holds, he
has made a success. One great
achievement which he attained was the
arrest and conviction Of the policy

VIM California Withhold It's Fruit?
Since the PARKWAY state Of California

In the North and East TO let the fruit Of

Of other sections Of the country can get
along without this fruit much better
than California can get along without
selling It, The prospect now is that
New York and the Eastern states will

pears his year, and that New Jersey,
Delaware, Maryland and Pennsylvania
can furnish all the peaches aud small
fruits that are needed
