Our regular baseball team consist
ing of boys in their teens, except
one, are once a week after work
hours until twilight, contesting with
a team of married men which has
awakened a community interest in
the great sport never so noticeable
here before. In five or six inning
game as the case may be, the score
has been to 8 generally in favor of
the boys, and while they appear to
win the honors they are also receiv-
ing good training. Ladies in large
numbers honor these events by their
presence and good plays are ap-
plauded heartily. Last Saturday our
boys gave the Dover team a shut
out, scoring to 0. 1t was a good
game and had the battery for Dover
received proper support from their
own team, our boys would not have
Jared so we'll. The battery for
Dover was Cohee and Mcdaniel; for
Cheswold, Moore and Hardcastle.

Clean Food.
From the Boston Advertiser.

From the Boston Advertiser.
The speakers of authority, who address,
ed the women of the federation on food
topics. it is worth notice. laid more stress
on clean food than on pure food-that is.
from the medical standpoint. it is a good
deal more important that food shall not
carry the germs of disease than that it
shall be chemically pure. Table salt. for
example. may contain some soda salts
other than the chloride, and still be per-
fectly heathful. Corn bread is less
healthful when made from pure corn meal
than when it has some admixture of
wheat -four. But food that is not clean
may be more dangerous than any adult
terated food product sold today. provided
the adulterated article carries no disease
germs. 1t has angered prominent scen-
lists to see club women making such
pother about the purity of vanilla extract
or raspberry preserves. and paying SO lit
tie attention TO the tainted milk sold in
crowded cities. The milk in one day will
do more harm than the sale Of apple
mash in preserves would do in twenty
years. 1t is we'll enough to ask that pur-
chasers of foodstuffs shall not be cheated
by the substitution of inferior articles;
but 1t is far more service to humanity
to prevent the sale of typhoid poisoned
milk.

third time At the end of the day Mr.
Murphy said:
There has been no change in my at
titude since 1 arrived here yesterday
New York's position will not be outlined
and / am not in a position to make II
known in advance of the caucus to be
held Monday"
Statements were sought from Messrs
Guffey and Sheehan, but both declined to
discuss the conference. Col Guffey said
that his meeting with Mr.. Murphy was
purely informal and of no political sig
nificance.
Among the unpledged delegations the
greater number is from states which are
called earlier in the alphabetical roll call
than the state of New York. 1t Is
claimed by anti-Bryan men that most OF
the uninstructed delegations stand ready
to oppose the nomination of Mr.. Bryan
If New York should join the movement.
The leaders of the anti-Bryan forces are
not willing that these delegates shall go
on record against Mr.. Bryan when the
roll is being called for the presentation of
presidential candidates unless it is settled
that New York will stand for them.
Here in a Nutshell.
One of the managers expressed it to-
day:
Estates which are high up on the alpha
betical list that have the courage to vote
against Mr. Bryan in the face of great
odds should not be left holding the sack.
They could only hope to win with the aid
Of New York. and that state. therefore,
should declare itself before nominations
are made. The number Of uninstructed
delegates is but little more than one
third of the convention and is just suf-
ficent to prevent the nomination Of Mr..
Bryan on the first ballot, if all Of them
should vote against him. If New York
should vote for Bryan the nomination
would be settled"
