and sticks. Trenton lost the game.

through the game. but the climax came
in the eighth inning when he called Ma
goon out at second base. The decision was

into the grandstand and hurried to his
quarters, where he was afforded police
protection. He was escorted to his hotel

BATHED In RIVER
OF MOLASSES

II one had happened 20 be passing
by the Tatnall street wharf Tuesday
evening. ore would have seen a party
Of boys. who had just come from the
water. de~oting themselves entirely to
rubbing, scrubbing, plastering their
bodies with mud and sand and wash
ing It Off again as IL they were polish
ing silverware; and one might think
that they had an ambition to be about
the cleanest boys in the world. But
if an investigation had Teen made one
would have found that the boys We're
not really doing that kind of thing for
mere pleasure. The reason was this:
The English steamship Beacon Ligh.
came in recently and was moored at the
wharves OF the Harlan and Hollings-
day it was found necessary to heave
overheard a cargo Of molasses that had
been slowed in two compartments. The
sticky fluid foated down stream in q
lazy fashion and about evening was
right in the midst Of the favorite
swimming place off Tatnall street
wharf. The boys aforementioned had
been swimming round in this fluid for
sometime before one of the party
swallowed a mouthful and wondered
what could possibly be the matter with
the water. When thev went ashore
they were a sight to behold. as the
moloSses stuck to their bodies like glue.
But even though the scrubbing and
scraping and sand papering was a
tough job not a boy missed getting n
mouthSIl of molasses mixed with the
Christiana river, after the first had
made the discovery.
