CASSIDY SIGNS
WITH THE LOCALS
"Pete" Put His Signature TO
a Tri-State Contract
To-day
THE TEAM Is LINING UP

After having withheld his signature to
Tri-state contract for several weeks
''Pete" Cassidy this morning affixed his
name to a document which places him on
the staff of the local club.
The reason for Cassldys refusal to sign
heretofore is said to have been thar he
has had some slight misunderstanding
with the local management but which
has been arjusted satisfactorily. There
has been constant rumors that Cassidy
would play with another team this season
but he has denied all along that he would
play away from Wilmington although adj
mitting that he has had several oppor-
tunties TO play away
1t was said last night that there was
a possibility of Mc1lvane. the outhelder
who had been signed by the local team not
playing in Wilmington as he is wanted
by Manager stallings of the Newark
club and win probably be seen in the uni
form of the Eastern League this year.
The last arrival last night was Joe Mar
tin who dropped in from Altoona and
who will be seen with the locals this sea-
son.
There was nothing doing in the practice
line this morning although at 1 o'clock
Manager Grady took his men out to Front
and Union streets and is putting them
through a few stunts there this afternoon.
The grounds this morning were occupied
by the Newark club.

JIMMY SEBRING
SATISFIED HERE
RumOrS That He Sought Out
law Company Denied
by Him
KINOEST FEELINGS FOR ALL

Much has been said and much more
printed about Jimmy Sebring, the crack
outhelder Of the Wilmington Tri-State
baseball team, and his relations with the
local management and the owners Of the
club. Some of these statements sebring de-
clares to be false, especially that portion
of them that credited him with endeavor-
ing to get into outlaw company and with
being at odds with the local magnates.
In order that he might be set straight
in the matter Sebring gave out a state
ment last night regarding his position He
said: Il am satisfied with Wilmington
and want to play here as / have many
friends in the city and 1 like the place
As for my joining any outlaw club, that
is out of the question although 1 have had
a number Of letters and offers from
managers of outlaw teams. but 1 have
never acknowledged one Of them. The
most pleasant and friendly relations exist
between the owners of the Wilmington
team, Manager Grady and myself. and al
ways have existed. There has been lot
of stuff printed and said about me that
was entirely unauthorized on my part and
OF which 1 knew nothing"
Sebring has been somewhat annoyed
of late over the way he has been Switch
ed' from one place to another by the
newspapers and declares that the stote-
ments did him an injustice. That he will
remain here this year is evinced BY tho
fact that his wife will arrive here to-day
and Jimmy has secured apartments and
will make Wilmington his home during
the baseball season.

Perpetual Silence.

A curious mourning custom obtains
among central Australians, who, al
though representing perhaps the low
est and most degraded type Of human
beings, have managed to evolve a most
complex system of rites and ceremonies
which governs almost every action of
their lives. When a husband dies the
widow paints herself all over with
white pigment and for the space Of a
year must not exhibit herself to a male
member of the tribe on pain Of death.
For the rest Of her life. unless she mar
ries again, which is sometimes allowed.
sne must not speak. but communicate
with the other women by means Of a
sign language. consisting Of movements
OF the hands and fingers. which has

The weekly washing, they will tell
you, is responsible for their breaking down.
And they tell the absolute truth if they

Continual rubbing on the washboard
is so bad on the back.
And standing over steaming suds paves
the way for colds.
But the Fels-Naptha way is Just as
different from the old way of washing as
Fels-Naptha is different from all other soaps.
Only cool OF lukewarm water needed
in winter or summer, and very little rubbing
required.
