tainly Room the Game.


It's to be hoped that the down State
towns are now thinking Of the baseball
season, which is so close at hand, and
are organizing teams.
How about you, Dover? Is your team
ready? -.
Are you lovers of the national game
going to have a club in Smyrna this
year? w.
And Seaford, suppose you're going to
gather nine together!
Townsend, yon are certainly going to
have a club, for you know you have a
crack pitcher whose name is the same as
your town! ..,.-r, ,-.e
Now, all you down State towns get to-
gether and form your baseball teams,
and We'll try to get good club up in
our town, and then will form league.
II that is done there'll be hot time, in
Delaware, for baseball will boom and the
cranks will e1appy.
So will the Wilmington City Railway
Company, when they s,e the crowds

Everything is in shape for the big box

off at their respective weights There
will be bantams, feather, light, welter,
middle and heavyweghts galore, all anx-
ious TO do their best for the survivors
of the Inflated battleship. In addition to
the long list of boxers that will appear
in rapid succession will appear a new
card just secured by Herford. 1t is Jack
McGeever, of Williamsport, one of the
cleverest lightweights in the country and
whose style has been compared to that
of Griffo. He is a bag puncher of eX-
ceptional ability and has standing chal-
lenge to meet any man in the world at
the new fad. Tricks with the leather
sphere never before heard of are shown
by him, and he defies imitation. Though a
newcomer in the profession, McGeeVer
bids fair to make his mark and will GER
tainly prove the hit of the carnival

Murderer

Indianapolis, Ind. April 1O.-The entire
detective force of the city has spent the
day working on the murder of Mrs. John
Moore and all the clews received TODAY

Post started away. but the police secured
evidence today that he left the house at
o'clock. and must have been there near
iy two hours with his wife alone Friday

person. The money cannot now be found
and the person who murdered her took
the money from her pocket
Moore says he knew that she had the
money when he left her Friday after
noon. The police hoped to find where
part OF the money was spent, but, after
making the rounds of Moore's haunts,
they discovered that he had spent but
a few dimes, and when arrested ne had
but dollar on his person. He has been
put through the sweating process several
times today, but nothing of an incrim-
mating nature could be secured against
him.
