ON THE
GRlDlR0N.

The baseball season is near to an
end but the long haired foot ball war
riors have already made their appear.
ance and promise to make things
lively until the winter season fully
setsiu. There are several good teams
in the city this season and the fans
will no doubt have chance to yell
"Rah. Rah.Rah" to their hearts
content.
The people will have an opportun-
ity that has not been afforded them
for some time, that is, to see good
college foot ball games almost every
Saturday. The Delaware college
boys having secured tho Union street
grounds will play the majority of
their games here. Coach Rice and
Captain Huxley are fast working the
boys into shape and it is safe to say
they will capture the majority Of
games played.
The Wilmington High School boys
will have strong team and Captain
Dougherty had large squad out
practicing at Washington Heights
yesterday afternoon. The team will
average about 1870 pounds and will
play at Union street grounds during
the week.
Then comes the Brandywine boys
with a crack l6O pound team. Cap.
tain II. Lewis is making the boys
work hard and expect to. give good
account of themselves when they play
the big soldier boys OF Fort Mott at
Salem next Saturday. Nichols,
Smead and Counts, three Of the New
Castle teams best men, will be found
on the Brandywlne team this year.
The Wilmington team will be COM
posed of Ex-High and Independence
plays and will hold forth at Wawaset
Driving Park. They will have a
heavy team.
Then we have the Orange A. G.,
Highland, Franklin A. c., and sever
al other 13O pound teams which with
the usual rivalry existing between
town clubs, should make some lively
doings this season.

TALKING ABOUT
NEW CHARTER,

There is much talk about the matter Of
City Council taking up the subject of Il
| new city charter. Many people are Of
| the belief that the Democratic members
! of Council are insincere in their rXpits-
sions on the question as some time ago
| The Rossell charter was revived by Il
committee Of the Board of Trade and
F.! committee Of City Council with no
result other than much objection by the
members of Council. Subsequent events.
however. will prove Just what the feel
ing of Councilmen is regarding the sub
| iect.
| Several members of Council have ex-
| pressed themselves strongly in favor of
new charter. 1t may be said with "A
! fair degree of certainty that numerous
members are in favor Of the adoption of
| a new charter. But the expressions
made arc from the viewpoint of the
ohiceholders and betray a selfish motive.
These expressions assure one thing and
that is II any action is taken in the mat
tier no charter will be considered by the
present Council that does not give that
!; body added power. The principal point
/ that seems to be agitating the charter
Il takers III Council at present is to regain
the powers that Council was shorn of
by tho establishment of the commissions
that today centrol various departments
of the city. That is to say the abolish
| mont of the commissions is desired.
\ What Council wants, or to be more
f, correct, what those members desire who
have expressed themselves, is more
| power. The fact that Council has so
little power is much lamcnted point.
+ Then these members alluded to desire
that Council have control of the eXperdi-
lure of more money. This would come
with the adjustment of the commits
sions. AT present Council has control
of the expenditure of but about 100000
,, out Of annual appropriations aggregatns
, something like 100000. or all but about
100000 legislative enactmcnts provid,
that the money shall be raised for vari-
I Gus purposes and be appropriated by
Council as specified. This is point
that rankles in the minds of several Of
the members.
So it would seem that the fever for a
new charter is in the interest Of placing
all municipal affairs in control Of Council
