The Gael for k1Rust.

There is not dull line in The Gael
for August. This is, Of course, moth
ing new to say of The Gael, which is
always readable and interesting, but it
may be said Of it's contents for August
that they are unusually attractive and
entertaining. The grave and the gay
are quite happily commingled in it's
list of contributions, which cover a
wide range of topics.
The August installment of Mr.. Jo-
seph Dcniefre's Personal Narrative of
the Irish Revolutionary (Fenian)
Brotherhood is replete with historical
data of inestimable value to the future
historian of that stirring episode in
Irish history. The impartial tone, the
lucid grasp Of the situation, and the
charm Of its unaffected style MS we'll
as its extraordinary historical value
render this personal narration of Mr.
Deneiffe's one Of the most valuable
Irish historical contributions that has
appeared in the past fifty years.
"a Daughter Of the Mountain Ill.
Illustrated, by Shiela Mahon, is a pretty
love story of the rural Ireland of to.
day, in which the author shows a keen
insight into Irish character.
"Who Were the Four Masters?" I'll.

of 'transcendent Importance to every

Surprise visits, according to story
told recently by Henry G. Frick, have
their drawbacks. A friend of Mr..
Prick casually remarked that he and
his family intended to surprise broth
er in Sioux City by dropping in on him
for a weeks stay.
Il wouldn't do it," said Mr.. Prick.
Il knew man in West Overton once
who planned just such a surprise as
you are contemplating, and who hasn't
yet healed the wound that resulted.
He sent his three children on sur
prise visit to cousin in Altoona. The
children were to stay month, but
they came back, bag and. baggage, at
the end Of a week. Said the father:
"'Well, boys, was your cousin Hen
ry and his wife glad to see you?'
"'Yes, indeed! replied the Oldest lad.
They said why didn't we bring IA

were about it,"

WEST CHESTER FAN DREAMS
Sends -ctse' Stating Wilmington is
Afraid Of Brandywine.


The following letter is printed IN to-
days issue OF the philadelphia In
qulrcr:
West Chester, Pa. July Il.
Sporting Editor OF The. Inquirer:
Is the Wilmington a. a. afraid Of the
Brandywme? is the question that the
West Chester fans have heen discuss
ing Cor some time. ana 1t appears to be
the concensus OF opinion among the
Brlndywine's admirers that Manager
Frysinger is certainly not overly anx-
lous o. pitting his Tri-State tailsnders
against the strong West Chester ag-
gregation.
The Brandywine was scheduled TO
play the Wilmington A. a. on Wednes-
day Of this week, but at the last mo-
ment the latter Cancelled the engage
ment although the former was the best
drawing card that Wilmington has
ever met on its own grounds. and this
fact has led to the rumor that Manager
Frysinger is afraid Of meeting his old
antagonist this season.
To occupy a low scale in the Tri-State
is bad enough, but to be beaten by a
modest member Of the Independent As
sociation would be humiliating. and the
management of the Wilmington A. A.
therefore cannot be censured very much
for its timidity IN arranging games OF
keeping its enga gements with the West
Chester club.
That the Wilmington club is afraid tc
meet the Brandywine is still further
strengthened by the fact that II has
been playing other clubs outside Of the
Tri-State Association.

Dover, July 15.-The state Board Of

Office Of Professor Wesley Webb in
The Court House. The systematic work
Of populating the sections Of Delaware

adopted.

Noteworthy reports We're received on

Slaymaker, the Kent county member,
reported that apples were developing
splendldly and are already being
harvested and shipped to good advan-
tage
Commissioner Messick and Professor
Webb told of early apples selling at
Brdgeyille station this week for 55
cents per five-eighths basket, probably
the highest price ever realized for APP
pies in a promisouous shipment I'm this
State.
Commissioner Shallcross himself a
large fruit grower, gave most eneourag-
ing facts concerning the peach and
pear crop of New Castle county
Peaches viii soon be ready now and
the trees are full and remarkably
healthy His only regret was that
there were not anything like so many

TIPS FROM THE BAT

Jackson had Frysinger's men tied up.
Curtis misjudging Smiths hit cost
two runs.
McCabe played a star game at third.
Excepting the fourth inning Osborn
pitched a good game
Many of the fans do not think that
Curtis even has the actions of a bah
player.
Red Maher viii be out of the game
for several days on account Of an in-
jured hond.
Far-i is playing a good game and
the sorrel top is also hitting.
owens is about the best short stop
and also hitter in the Tri-State.
In several innings a hit would have
scored two runs, but il seems impossible
to get them safe when needed.
Wilmington hit in hard luck. Both
the drive by Gray and the one by Os-
born would ordinarily have been safe.
