 An Indignant Denial.
 The story recently printed in the Norwalk Hour regarding the alleged attempt at suicide by Miss Mary Carl son, of Georgetown, is indignantly denied by Miss Carlson and by her mother. Both state most empha tically that there is absolutely no truth in the story of the girl swallowing a solu- tion m9de with match heads and wa ter with suicidal intent and refer to the records of the Gilbert & Bennett Manufacturing Co, which show that the young woman was at her accus- tomedt duties the day following the al- legged occurrence, apparently in her us- ual health The story of an alleged lover who had returned to his home in Finland, as the cause of the SUD- posed act, is also specifically denied

Then. why, and again why, doesn't he do it2 He controls the Senate and, through Speaker Cannon. the House, and Congress holds the purse strings.

NEW YORK. May 12.-The New York
Giants three straight defeats in Chicago
have resulted in one OF the incest little
ever heard. In New York
and If McGraws ears aren't burned off
today, there's nothing in the theory in
volving this idea. McGraw is being pam
ned" by fans Of high and low degree for
his failure TO pitch young Drucke at the
start OF a game instead Of reserwng him
to finish out games already lost.
Drucke has taken part in nearly half
dozen games this season and has not been
scored against. lie has shown himself pos
sessed OF a larged pitching 'stock' than
any man McGraw has, save Mathewson,
the fans declare. and yet McGraw let's
him trail in behind Marquhard, Raymond
and others Of the older pitchers who have
been wobbly all season.

Question No Longer
DiSturbS -. -.

Now that the Board of Park Commits
sioners has barred ball games from Kirk
wood Park, All-Wilmington League games
scheduled there will be transferred to
diamond yet to be selected.
The action of the Park Commissioners
in barring the big fellows from the dia-
mond removes from the All-Wimington
League the question raised by William
Tinsman, manager of the Ashley team,
that the diamond there is Illegally Ia
out and had the league been allowed to
finish its schedule on the diamond It Il
likely that the other clubs woulf have
objected to playing on the grounds until
they were laid out according to base
ball rules.
Manager Smith, whose Parks.de team
has been using the Kirkwood diamond, is
hoping that the Park Commissioners WI
arrange TO allow him to play his remain
ing home games on the Christiana Park
diamond.
Local ball players are hoping the city
will purchase the plot of ground in ths
rear of the Wilmington Country CldS
gfrounds and lay out diamonds there.
Jerome B. Bell. editor of the Sunday Star,
and member of the Park Commission,
has suggested to the board that to plot
be purchased and it is likely that Council
will consider the question The plot OF
ground is close 10 the trolley and would
make an ideal playing ground.

Toes TO Ball Game;
ties Friend OF Impressions

on the roof Of the grandstand.
When the game began, the pitcher
threw the ball. and the umpire said,
''Bavl onei" Then he threw it again,
and the umpire said, "Strike!" asked
William why that wasn't a ball too,
because / saw the ball. but l didn't
see anybody strike anything. Then
a whole lot of people began running,
and people on the bleachers began TO
holler and shout "Freddie" I asked
william why they were hollering and
he said because Freddie made a hit.
Then somebody caught the ball after
it had gone ever so high in the air,
but he dropped Il, and the duPants be-
gan running around that diamond Ike
they'd gone crazy, and everybody
stood UP and hollered. Then the next
time a man caught IL they all stopped
running and William said they were
out. asked him why they didn't go
on running around the diamond like
they did the other timel and / asked
him why the pitcher sometimes threw
the ball at men off on the sides; and
asked him IL il hurt whent the ball
struck anybody; and I asked him how
they knew when TO run and when not
to: and why the pitcher didn't run
like everybody else; and II the UNI
pire didn't get sore throat hollering
so loud.
william says baseball is a game you
can't explain, you have to sort of
grow into IL. Are you going to trim
your hat with roses or hyacinths? Mine
