PASTORATE HERE
Dover Priest Comes to St.
PauI'S, Father COmiSkey
Goes to Dover
CHANGES WILL BECOME
EFFECTIVE IN SHORT TINE

Important changes in the Catholic
diocese OF Wilmington were an
nounced yesterday afternoon by the
Rt. Rev. John ]. Monaghan, bishop of
Delaware. The Rev. Thomas F.
Waldron, OF Dover. pastor of Holy
Cross Church there for several years,

and becomes pastor Of st. Pauls
Church, at Fourth and jackson streets,
and the Rev. James c. Comisky. one
of the assistant priests of that church.
will succeed Father Waldron as pas
tor of the Dover church.
These changes are the most import
ant announced for long time. Father
Waldron has endeared himself TO the
people of Dover and they heard with
regret his transfer to Wilmington.
Father Comisky however, while
younger man than Father Waldron,
is sure to become as popular In Dover
as his predecessor During the time
| he has been at ST. Paul's he made
many friends who will be sorry TO see
! him go to Dover. but their best wishes
nevertheless, will go with him. That
he will be a success as a pastor there
/ is no doubt
The members OF st. Pauls Church
are delighted at receiving Father Wal
dron as their pastor and he will be
given most cordial welcome when
he takes up his residence here.
Bishop Monaghan could not state
just when the changes would go into
effect. but II Is thought that they will
take place within a short time. The
bishop has been acting as pastor al
! O.. n. l. ii
there. but ne will soon remove to the
handsome residence at No. 1901 Del
aware avenue. recently purchased
This will be the residence OF
the Wilmington diocese and BishoI
Monaghan will have a home befittine
his office and one Of which the people
of the diocese will be proud He Il
expected 10 take up his residence
there within a short time.
Father waldron, the new pastor o
st. Paurs, has been stationed at Dover
for thirteen years and during tha
time endeared himself not only TO tbs
people of that city but throughout IN,
lower counties of the State There
are missions in Kent and Sussex coun.
ties attached 70 the Dover parish anc
his work has been of a strenuous
order
Through Father Waldron's efforts
a Catholic Church was erected IN Nil
ford recently and Il Is one Of tn
finest edihces in Sussex county.
Father Comisky, who will go q
Dover, was in charge OF ST. Peter
b Church. at New Castle. during th
absence of Father Campbell. who wa

Nearly five hundred children are go

they have been revived by American

JOSS TALKS OF
"NO-HIT" GAMES
TOO Much Credit is Given
Pitcher; Not Enough
to Team"
SUCH A FEAT, he
SAYS, IS A MYTH

CLEVELAND, Aug. 5-"Always has
there been and always will there be
too much fuss made over 'no-hit'
games" remarked "Addie" joss. Il
mean by this that generally there is
too much credit given to the man in
the box and not enough to the catcher
and the men in the field-the men
who made the 'no-hit' game possible.
The only possible 'no-hit' game would
be one in which the pitcher struck
out q men, in wkich the catcher had
all Of the 27 put-outs and In which
not even a chance was offered any
other of the nine players on the
team.
Il doubt If one ever heard a pitcher
boast of having been the hero of a
'no-hit' game He knows too we'll
how he was helped along to fame by
the men behind him; knows how large
a need of the praise is due the catch
er who coached him along.
Base hits--some basehits-and put
outs-some put-outs-are so nearly
analogous that IL is folly to talk of
what a pitcher intended when he Of
fers up a certain ball TO a certain
batter.
IF It is the lucky pitchers day, the
ball will be batted straight into the
hands Of some fielder. If il doesn't
happen to be the pitchers day, the ball
will be batted a foot or two out of the
1elder's reach, and instead Of an
easy put-out,' as II Is set down in the
records, there is smashing double
10 center.
See the point? The pitcher puts
f,,, oarfofn bind nf hall q haffcr
one day and the batter sends an easy
hy to an outfielder In the next
game between the same clubs the
pitcher sends up the same kind Of a
ball This time It is batted in a
slightly different angle and the batter
gets credit for a double or triple.
"Of course, to pitch 'no-hit' game
pitcher must be at his best, but
have worked harder and felt filter,
80 to speak, In a game when half
dozen drives went safe than ever
lid in a 'no-hit battle.
THE average fan does not stop TO
consider the details of a 'no-hit game.
He sees the cipher in the box score.
,'Ah, ah' he shouts, they never
souched him
He oyerlooks such paragraphs as:
Hartsel came in like a streak for
a shoe-string catch of Graney's liner
In the first, OF
Murphy had to go into the bleach
ers fer Lords long line foul in the
sixth and so on.
Far be it from q member OF the
craft to belittle the work Of the men
who have pitched 'no-hit games
Truth. however, demands that the fans
should understand that the difference
between a game in which the batters
.ail to make a safety and the games
IN which they make, say, three. foui
)r FIVE hits, is very slight-often It il
difference of a yard or two in tho
direction which the ball takes when i
leaves the bat-something, of course
with which the pitcher or batter haC
nothing TO do"

BOSTON. Aug. 6-Hopes that either
Ty. Cobb or Larry Lajoie will soon
appear in the Red Sox lineup, are
exciting the American League fans
here. The futter is caused by news
from Cleveland that President Taylor
OF Boston had displaced Lord as cap
tain OF the team and has offered him
for trade. making Engle third base
man and Charles Wagner. captain, in
Lords place.
II is understood here that both De-
troit and Cleveland have tried TO buy
Lord. but have been refused, Taylor
declaring he would sell the third
sacker for no amount Of money Tay-
lor will trade, though, and it may be
the known dissensions I'm the Detroit
ranks will result in Cobb becoming
Red Leg. Failing this there is a
strong possibility that Lajoie may
come TO Boston. The Cleveland man
agement wants Lord badly and II Is
said here they will let Lajoie 'ome

ableness of vice are minimized. Stalls in the saloons were abolished, as were the combined brothel and saloon. The city waged war on dives. and ih this it was assisted by the orderly saloon keepers. No music is permitted after 10 o'clock except by special authority, which is refused if anyone in the neighborhoOd protests. No one con- tends that drinking has been stopped or the social evil abolished. There is still the vice to be found n evere large city, but it seems to be general ly agreed that there is less of it in Cleveland than elsewhere. This is ac- complished with comparatively few ar rests. Certain rules or standards are laid down. and the chief of police is ordered to enforce their observance Not by arrests, as in most cities, but by stationing uniformed policeman at the door of any place which violates them, with explicit instructions to take the name and address of every per- son who enters.
