TO HAVE STRONG
BASEBALL TEAM
Wilmington A. A. to Have
Best Club That Ever Rep
resented City

Wilmington win be represented by
one of the best baseball teams in it's
history next season." Thus spoke AL
exander Stirlith, president Of the Will
mington A. A. Baseball Association. to
a reporter for the Evening Journal thfs
morning. Every effort will be made
to secure the best material in the base
ball profession, and to do this money
will have to be expended. That is our
reason for advancing the price of ad-
mission to twenty cents" continued the
president.
Another reason is in securing games
with the better clubs; we play them
on a half and half basis. That is
when they come here they receive half
Of our gate receipts, and when we re-
turn the game we are treated likewise.
In almost all of these towns twenty
five-cent baseball is played. So that
when we play there we receive twelve
and one-half cents from every admis-
sion, and in this city they get but sew
en- and one-half cents on each admis-
sion. That is the reason we have de-
cided to raise the price Of admission" :"
In speaking further about the ar
rangements for next season, Mr. Stir
lith said there was a host OF prominent
baseball men making application for
the management of the team next sea-
son. Prominent among those who have
expressed their desire 10 guide the des-
TIMES OF the club are Robbie" Robin
son. the man who made Baltimore a
baseball town; ICY" Voorhees,, the vet
eran pitcher of the Phillies; Frank
Heustis, who last season played with
Concord. n. H.; Billy" Hamilton, who
was such a prominent figure on the
old Philadelphia team: Jess NJ. Frysin-
ger who is well known to the Will
mington baseball public as the first
manager of the organization. There
are several others and the management
will make its decision at its next meet
ing which win be held on December s.
At the close OF last season the whole
team was reserved for next year. As
soon as the manager is elected he will
choose those he wants and let the 9TH
ers go.
Big Improvements win be made to
the ground. The right field bleachers
will be low down to a point about op-
posite the foul line thus giving more
field space in right field. From the
grand stand to that point they win be
extended out TO the fence. with only
platform i'm front. They will then be
on line with the grand stand and viii
be protected by a three-foot board
fence above which viii be placed wire
netting similar TO that in front of the
grand stand. This scheme will be car
ried out on the left field bleechers also.
IL will incraaso the seating caDacffv
from 5000 to about 5000.
Grass seed will be sown in the out
field and II a suitable soil can be Sc

sufts against the company.
Sentences Imposed.

EGGS TAKE A DROP;
TURKEYS ARE SCARCE
Two Facts to be Learned
Upon Strolling Through
the Markets

Eggs have taken a tumble. Last
week they were selling at So cents a
dozen. They can be bought today for
25 cents. The warm weather is the
cause of the drop and it is a welcome
one to the housekeeper who provides
for a family that wants eggs for
breakfast in lieu Of meat. It also is a
weighty question when it comes to the
matter of pies, cake and pudding.
Demand for Pork.
As winter comes on apace the de-
mand for pork becomes more strenu-
GUS. In all its varied forms it is
building up a good trade. Everybody
seems to want sausage and spare ribs,
and backbones and chops. Not a few
have a taste now and then for scrap
ple-when it's good. Pigs feet and
tails and the other parts of their anat-
omy that the Germans know how to
make into delicious concoctions, also
are to be picked up at trifing cost.
Turkeys Still Scarce.
Some people are beginning to get a
little worried over the turkey situation
This time last year it was mo coal"
and now those calamitously inclined
are crying no turkeys for Thanksgiv-
ing. II is true that those which have
made their appearance so far are de-
cidedly attenuated, while the price
asked for them is likely to reduce the
pocketbook Of the purchaser to the
same state. Some dealers predict that
the price likely will so up to 80 cents a
pound.
OF course there are cold storage tur-
KEYS. but Wilmington people do not
take kindly to them. so many a
Thanksgiving table will be laden with
goose, or duck, or chicken.
Mush Trade Good.
The mush trade is growing. Only a
few years ago this commodity was not
TO be seen in the local markets. At
first It was a slow seller, but it looked
so good in the shallow pans that peo-
ple began to try it, and now IL is one
of the staple articles in demand. just
the same as butter and eggs.
Plenty Of so-ealled Luxuries.
so-called table luxuries are plentiful
in market. though new fruits and nuts
are becoming now TO be considered ne
cessities. Florida oranges have made
their bow, and bid fair 10 dislodge the
crane fruit which has to struggle with
the disadvantage of its high price.
Grapes, both Of the domestic and inn
ported varieties. are numerous and
ready sellers, while apples are goed
and comparatively cheap.
No New Vegetables.
There are no particularly new vege-
tables besides egg plants beans and
peas. but there probably viii be by the
last of this week or the first Of next.

BIC GUN KNOCKED
DISHES FROM SHELVES

The firing Of the large eight-inch
guns at Fort dupont about noon yes
terday caused a great deal OF excite
ment for several miles along the
Delaware river and also did some dam
age. The report was heard in this city
and many persons thought it was
either an earthquake or an explosion at
the powder works.
1t is not unusual for the guns to be
fired at the forts, but the shots yester-
day seemed much heavier than ever
before. At Delaware City dishes fell
from shelves. In South Wilmington
the shock was felt.
The soldiers at the fort were practic-

Liquid Oxygen.

Liquozone is simply liqud oxygen-no drugs, no alcohol i'll it. It is the dis covery of Pauli, the great German chem .ist, who spent 20 years on it. His object was to get such an excess of oxygen in staple form into the blood that no germ could live in any membrane or tissue.
 Liquozone does that. We spend I4 days in making each bottle of 1t, but the result is a germicide so certain that we publish on every bottle an offer of $I ,ooo for disease germ that it cannot kill.

and an excess of oxygen-the very life of an animal-is deadly to vegetable matter.
 Liquozone is employed in the largest hospitals, and prescribed by the best physicians, the world over. It is essen tial in any germ disease, for the cause must be destroyed, and nothing else can do 1t. Liquozone then acts as tonic to bring back condition of perfect health; for oxygen is Natures greatest tonic Its ing. It does something that ali the skill in the world cannot do without it.
