wILLIAMSPORT. July 25.-The
Peaches continued their winning streak
here yesterday afternoon and over
whelmed the Champs by a II to 0
score. The locals showed a relapse of
the playing that they made on their
recent trip and errors of omission and
commission were numerous throughout.
Townsend started the game for the
Bills and was yanked out in the fifth,
during which round Wilmington scored
eight runs. Flater, who replaced him,
pitched good ball, but did not exert
himself to any extent. Topham, who
twirled for the Delaware aggregation,
was in fine form and allowed but four
scattered safeties. His work at bat
was also meritorious. Zollers work
in the field was also one Of the feat
ures of the game.

cial. John Smith, who shot Mrs. Au-
gusta Grabow, her 14-year-old daugh-
ter Olga, and Sheriff George l.. OWN
nell, at the Grabow home at Calhoun,
Friday evening, is. expected 70 make q
statement today. He refused to talk d
the officers Sunday, claiming he had a
''headache,' but told them he would
make a statement some time today. 1t
is thought probable that Smith may
make insanity his defense. AT present
the charge against him is assault with
intent to murder. Smith was not rep
resented by counsel in court saturday,
but later in the day Attorney ID. ]. Hem
lock called on him at the jail and Smith
signed an affidavit of indigency and it
is probable that Attorney Hemlock will
be appointed by the court to defend him.
The condition of all three of the vic
Tins showed Improvement today and the
physicians state each has an excellent
chance of recovery. Sheriff Dwinnelfs
condition was particularly improved.
