SMYRNA VS.. DOVER

Smyrna jOurneyed to Dover Thurs
day afternoon to try conclusions with
the wOuld-be champions.
Quite number went down EXPECT
ing to see as fine u game as that played
here between the two teams on Tues
day last. The game started out very
nicely, neither side scoring until the
second inning, when Smyrna scored
one run through base on balls. an
overthrow and passed ball.
In the third inning SMYRNA began
TO connect with Clark's curves and
before the slaughter was over thew had
scored eight runs.
Smyrna had enough runs right here
TO win most any other game. but in
DoVers half of the fourth inning thew
allowed them to score eight runs
nearly tieing the score
This was very disastrous innino to
our boys, especially to Hess. who
seemed to be no puzzle to the Dover
batters.
After the third inning Clark settled
down and only allowed SMYRNA to
score once during the rest of the game
while Dover kept up the heavy hitting
throughout.
Both teams played bad ball. espe-
clally Dover, who had eleven errors To
their credit, and yet they call them
selves the champions" The features
were the running catch by Baker and
the playing of Messenger and LasselI-
VINO each saved home run hits tbrough

SMYRNA vs.. CHESTER A A

The Chester A. A. after SUFFERING q
defeat by narrow margin at the hands
OF Dover, came here Saturday confident
OF carrying off another victory similar
to that of week ago. Their hopes
were blighted, for in Hess. our crack
pitcher, they found a perfect enigma,
only getting six hits off his delivery
Two of these woald have easily been
prevented if our fielders could have
seen the ball, having the sun to face.
Our boys played good ball in the
held, not an error being charged against
them. Indeed, it would have been a
hard matter for any club to beat us
That day, as our boys played winning
ball from the start.
The batting Of the holAe team was a
rIedeeming feature of the game. and
before it was over they had used up
three of Chester's pitchers.
The game was very one-sided al

PUBLISHED accounts of Ambassador
Bayard's recent speech in England at
dinner given him by the Lord 5iaVor
of Boston, ia Lincolnshire, have
caused great deal of comment among
politicians and business men generally.
IN this speech Ambassador Bayard is
reported as saying that the Office OF
President of the United States was not
only one ofgreat dignity, but also one
OF responsibility, care and anxiety.
The President stood amid a strong.
seif-cOnhdent and oftentimes violent
people, who sought to have their own
way. II took a real man to govern
people. The United States had such a
man in Mr.. Cleveland. Mr.. Bayard
closed his remarks with q enlogy of
the public and private life Of Mr..
Cleveland.
Joseph Tanning, a prominent Demo-
crat of Indiana and ex-Auditor of the
State, has always been listed as a loyaI
Democrat, but even bis love for the
party could hardly allow him to take
Mr.. Bayard's remarks without q pro-
test. He read the article carefully
and then said:
"a good many patriotic Americans
have been spoiled by being sent
abroad in an official position. Bayard
comes from an excellent line of states
men, and should stand upon the Dem-
socratic principles of his country.
90 not think that Mr.. Cleveland's best
friend or his most ardent admirer
would agree with Mr.. Bayard when
he says that tho American people need
a strong hand to govern them. The
whole idea of the AxHerican form of
government is antagouistic to one
man rule. The people govern them
selves. Mr.. Cleveland Is head Of tbe
Government, but he is a public ser
want and not dictator.
"The trouble is that Mr.. Bayard has
lived over there so long that he has
imbibed the arist0cratic ideas Of Eng
land. Over there the Government Is
monarchy. Only few titled ones get
