BEET CAMPAIGN CLOSES.

Today ended the slicing of sugar
beets at the FIT. Morgan factory and
the entire crop of $500 acres will
have been ground up and made into
sugar. The campaign commenced
Sept. 2T and has been the shortest
in the history of this factory. The
record made by this mill is said to
have no parallel in the United States.
1t was erected in 1905 and is rated
as 600-ton factory. During the
campaign just ended it has handled a
daily average of over 500 tons. In
one period of "a hours 1,069 tons
were sliced and it could have done
more had the shovelers been able to
get the beets to the mill. About $50
men have been on the payroll during
the campaign, but the force will be
reduced to about 100 for the rest of
the year.

THE HITS WERE PLENTIFUL

BALTIMORE. April -21.--The orioles
again demonstrated their hitting quali-

Tristate League team yesterday after
noon, and before the fuslllade was over
the locals had tailed 81 safetles. For
five innings Il looked as n the Will
mingtons would be the vlctors, as In
that time the Baltimores had scored
only three runs. while the visitors had
five TO their credit. In the sixth, how
ever, Dunn's men lambasted the ball
to all sections OF the field and made
seven hits, while flve runners crossed
the plate.
After that the game leaned toward
the burlesque. for in the next inning
six more runs we're scored and the visi-
tors were hopelessly showed under
Charley Schmidt, for Baltimore. and
Jackson, for Wilmington. were the op-
posing pitchers. Schmidt was invinci-
BILE for the first three innings, not n
hit being made OF him. But Il was
different IN the fourth. The Whining
tons fell on his shoots. and II was after
this inning that the prospects for an
Oriole victory did not look good. The
Tristaters Tailed Eve runs.
The orioles first two runs we're made
in the third inning. Haford replaced
Schmidt in the fifth inning and Clunn
relieved Jackson.
Clunn was an easy mark for Dunn's
men. They scored one run in the nth.

While the Orioles were having this
great fun the visitors were trying thei.

allowed them two hits in i've innings
and while two runs were scored. they

IL will be said that the Birds we're a
