HIS MINISTRY
GREAT SUCCESS
Pastor Holloway ACCOmpliSheS
Much After Three Years.
Work Here

The Rev. Thomas p. Hslloway, pas
tor Of Second Baptist Church, cele-
brated the third anniversary Of his
pastorate in this city yesterday, hav-
ing come here from Annapolis, Nd,
three years ago. Mr.. Halloway has a
fine record for the term. AmonS
other things extensive improvements
to the church costing nearly 100000
have been made and the debt has been
decreased greatly tn -Ough his efforts.
The number of converts and the
number taken into the church by
baptism is flattering. Since his ad-
vent to the city the morning services
at the church have been attended by
100 per cent. more people than before
be came His work among the So
cieties of the church and the people
generally has served 10 create a COM
mon bond on sympathy between the
pastor and the people.

FELTON, BOASTS
OF FINE HORSES
Now Want Good Roads o
the Winter As Well As
the Summer

This part Of the State produces
some fine horse flesh and the farmers
are all alive to the advantages Of
raising well bred stock of all kinds.
SAYS the FELTON, correspondent of the
Milford Chronicle. The stock of hogs
has been greatly improved in this
vicinity and the arrival of another
thoroughbred Berkshire hog at the
farm of Mr.. Killen, from the expert
mental farm at Newark, insures more
Improvement for the future. Only
this last month ]. Morris Harrington
sold a trotting horse TO New York
parties for $1,000 and there are many
driving horses passing over the
streets each week here. which would
be eagerly taken for $500 or more,
each.
In all OF Delaware there is not
another town so completely surround
ed with fine fruit producing lands as
in FELTON,. We say it advisedly and
pointing north, east, south or west
the roads leading from FELTON, will
lead you through some Of the best
fruit and farm lands on the peninsula.
At present the outlook is fine for a
crop of fruit this year Of all kinds
and the grain and grass never gave
better promise, so FELTON, should be
prosperous when the season of 1911
closes.
Good roads for the winter months,
as well as for the summer months, is
what this particular section Of the
State needs. The so-called good roads
built during the past two years are
real jokes, so far as hard well-wear-
ing roads go in the winter months;
If any person is inclined to doubt this,
all we ask of them is to drive over
these roads just after a thaw or after
a few days heavy rain. II thy go with
heavy wagons loaded they are likely
to get stuck in the mud and the State
Of Delaware is giving to Kent county
$4,000 each year to build good roads
with and it is being squandered in
the old patchwork way.
Several experiments have been made
with alfalfa clover about the vicinity
of FELTON,, which have proven very
satisfactory to the experimenters. Mr..
Killen has found It a very fine crop
for hay on his land and the poultry
raisers gladly purchase It TO feed
chickens on in the winter months; it
seems TO cause the hens to lay more
eggs and keep in better condition gen
orally.

CHESTER TALKS
OF BASEBALL
lnter-City League There May
Yet be Organized
SEABOARD WILLING
TO GO In COMBINATION

CHESTER, Pa, Feb. 12.-The re-
cent comment on the Inter-City
League has caused discussion among
the local fans and many arc eager
for news bearing on this important
topic. In conversation with the
officials Of the Seaboard team nothing
new could be CLEANED furthe than
the fact that the subject had been
given slight attention and the fact
that Upland's withdrawal from C. g
ranks Of the Big Four and made IL
imperative that the other teams get
together and talk over the plans that
have been subjected by the leading
fans Of the city.
Marcus Hooks showing last year
was in no way brought about by lack
OF interest of the citizens here and
are still anxious to have a team rep.
resenting that thrifty borough. The
general census OF opinion then wo d
naturally be that Seaboard and Fifth
Ward will be the only teams to take
any actual interest in the promoting
of an lnter-City League.
AS yet no announcement has been
made as to the probable make up of
last years champions, Seaboard usu-
ally allows the season to get we'll
advanced before taking any steps TO
form a club. When the official an
nouncement Is made the team gener-
ally is the same throughout the en-
tire season this bringing about q
hefty bunch of sparklers who are al
ways working for the best interest Of
the club. II is an actual fact that
Seaboard has played more havoc
among the other clubs by continuing
with the same line up until the close
OF the season.
The Wilmington Proposition.
Last year the subject of an Inter-
City League was broached by tho
managers Of the Wilmington Club.
Manager Reeves, OF ,the DUPONT team,
being more than anxious to have his
team try fo- honors with the clubs
representing this city. Il was late m
the season and thefteams well up in
the race for the coveted cup It was
deemed wise not TO introduce tha
matter at such a late date.
This year the managers are begin
ming bright and early and il would
not be at all surp 'ising under the ev-
istlng circumstances to find a string
Of clubs and followers from the two
cities.
Manager Dan Doherty has had lit
tie TO say regarding the prospects Tor
inc coming season. but then Dan al-
ways was mo-e or less reticent about
getting in on the ground floor. ast
season his desire to have an Inter-
CITY League was elbowed out by tha
other teams in the Big Four but fol-
lowing out his usual policy he stuck
with the Big Four combination wit -
team that stood well up in the race
at the close Of the season.

MANY WANT
in WILMINGTON
Crack Amateur League May
Have to Become Ten
Club Affair
MOUSLEY SENDS In
RIVERVIEW'S APPLICATION

Having been confronted with such a
large number of applications for
membership, the Wilmington
League is considering the idea of a
ten-team league instead of an eight
team roster as formerly. At the
meeting of the league in THE EVEN
ING JOURNAL Office on Saturday
night William Tinsman, manager Of
the Richardson Park aggregation, and
Charles Welsh, of the Parkside team,
came back and are now in the league.
For sometime it was feared that Tins
mans bunch would not come back.
the Richardson Park team not having
been represented at the first meeting
of the league, but Bill is back.
Through the return of the Richard
son Park and Parkside teams, for the
second year, seven of the original
eight teams are included in the cir
cult. The Vandever team was ad-
mitted to membership, making the
eighth team on the circuit. The eight
teams which have so far been elected
to berths are: Orioles, Hillside,
Rockford. Highland, Merwick, Park
side, Richardson Park and Vandever.
Considerable surprise was occasion
ed by the receipt Of an application for
membership in the league from Prince
A. Mousley, manager OF the Riyerview
team of last years New Castle County
League. Through the plan of the
Chester Wilmington League, in which
both the DUPONT and the Gas Company
teams OF last years New Castle Coun-
ty League may play, the Riverview
team is frozen out, and Mousley,
wishing to locate in the next best
league, has applied for membership in
the All-Wilmington roster.
Mousley has his own playing
grounds and from the present appear
ances the Riverview team may be
taken into the aAll-Wilmington fold.
AS an application has also been re-
ceived from the Delaware A. C.. team,
there would be no trouble in getting
the tenth team and this plan would
possibly prove a good thing for the
interests OF the league.
The amount Of this years guarantee
was agreed upon and it was decided
that the money should be placed in
the hands of the officials of the
league by March. Adjournment was
made until March 1, when another
meeting will be held to perfect plans
for the leagues season. In the mean
time all grounds will be placed in
good condition and the players begin
to warm themselves up for the sum-
mer
With such interest I'm the league as
is indicated by so many applications
it can be said that this will be one
Of the best seasons In the history of
the league. Everything is looming up
rosy. and1with the cooperation Of the
managers and the fans there should
be some high-class amateur ball IN
Wilmington this year.
