taught, if taught at ALL by the thumb rule OF

correct The mass Of people, we think, rather

needed

1t may be that New England has not produced

COMMEND THE PRESIDENT.

HE State convention of the New York Re-
publicans while il put forward declara-
ton instructing its delegates to support Governor
Hughes at the Chicago convention for President.
warmly approved the administration Of President
Roosevelt. The Presidents friends had the
strong grip upon the convention and their lauda-
ton OF him was a rebuke to the attacks upon the
President by a certain group OF New Workers.
Perhaps it was in answer to these attacks that
the convention hurled its reply to his critics.
In the platform Of the Massachusetts Republi-
cans similar praise Of the President was noted.
and here in Delaware there was commentator
of the national administration All of which is a
recognition Of the power of the President and
certihcation to the strength of his personality
among the masses Of the people.

READING, Pa, April 25.-Before a
crowd of fully 1000 dyed-in-the-wool root
ers. who braved the fitful April showers.
the initial season of the Union League
was inaugurated in this city today. when
Reading defeated Twins Washington
team by to 3. The opening ceremonies
consisted of a parade headed by q band
of the players OF the two teams. platoon
front. across the outfeld and diamond to
the grandstand. where they remained as
sembled while the captains Of the clubs
hoisted the pennant won by the Reading
Atlantic League team Of 1907. Former
Mayor Yeager then heaved the ball to
Reisling. who was on the mound for
Reading, and the game was on. Reisling
had his spit ball working in beautiful
shape for six innings, the Washingtons
landing for only one safe drive in this
time Incidentally they also did not score.
In the seventh inning, after Burke struck
out, Schaunessy hit to right field. The
ball struck the fence and Rudolph. In an
effort to hold 1t, plunged head-on against
Schaunessy trotted around the bags for
the first run while Rudolph was being
revived. Ordinarily the rap would have
been good for only base.
Reading got z start in the scoring IN
the opening inning on Clark's failure to
field Miller's grounder. Lynch's wild throw
to first in an effort to head of Vinson and
a fine single by Nallin. Every succeeding
inning until the fifth was unproductive

Howard and Hartman. passes to first OF
Danford and Nallin, and a wild throw to
khird by Burke netted five runs It was
a bad inning for Speer, the Washington
pitcher. who until then pitched a pretty
game. Longstreet was sent In for Wash
ington in the sixth. and he held Reading
without a hit. Readings infield played
the better game. and every man was kept
busy. having twenty assists to their
credit.
In the eighth inning. after Longstreet.

away, Gilbert outsprinted a bunt Con-
ners singled, sending gilbert to third, and
moment later Wallace clouted for q
base, and the bags were full.

clever pitching, Washington failing to
score, although 1t had all sorts of op-
portunities to do so. In this inning Lynch
was an easy out on a long fly to deep left.
Clark raped grounder at Lallter, who
fumbled. Weinberg, who batted for Long

for base. Gilbert again beat out g. bunt.

GREAT GAMES AHEAD.
Georgetown to Meet Virginia To-
morrow and Tuesday.


A struggle long looked forward to takes
place tomorrow afternoon on Georgetown
Field when the two great rivals. George
town and Virginia, meet in the second of
a series of three games. the first having
been played and won by Georgetown at
Charlottesville two weeks ago by a score
Of 3 to 2, after one of the most exciting
struggles ever waged on the Virginia dia-
mond.
In Susong and Carl Walker Virginia has
two cfever pitchers. men who have dem
onstrated by their work that they are to
be classed with the best. Both will ap-
pear on the firing line against the local
collegians in these crucial contests.
The wonderful game put up by George
town against Harvard has instilled into
the hearts of the Blue and Gray rooters
after the loose games played against
Princeton and Pennsylvania. Howard
Smiths return to the infleld has strength
ened the team considerably, the little
shortstop being the life of the team In the
field. The selection of the pitchers for
the Virginia games has not been made
yet, but it is certain that Tom Cantwell
will perform in one of the games, with
Montgomery. Devine and Diamond to Sc
lect from for the other.
Virginia followers in Washington rival
the Georgetown contingent in point OF
numbers. and with the students coming
from Charlottesville especially for the
two days the Orange and Black should
present strong front in the cheering
section. Not to be outdone. the many

feated the Paterson team in the opening
game of the season by 6 to 3. One of
the first surprises for the fans was when
Arlie Latham. who for many years was
the most prominent player in the country
came out and called play ball. The next
surprise was when Pete Childs Of
Cleveland fame was recognized as the
second baseman on the Paterson team.
Pete played a good game and one of
his stops of a hard hit ball was a feature
of the game.
