State Honor
DAWSON AWAITS
CHALLENGE FROM LOCALS

Special TO THE EVENING JOURNAL
STAFFORD. Del, Sept. 21--The fact
that the proposed game between du-
Pont and Seaford. at Wilmington on
Saturday of this week. has been called
of, is a sad disappointment to the
lower Delaware baseball fans who had
planned TO witness the gme. The du-
Pont team has been experiencing
some difficulties recently aud this
combined with the condition with
Wilmington sports on that date made
II impossible for the game 20 be
played. Manager Frank Dawson, OF The
local club, received a letter from Man
ager Reeves, Of the DUPONT club. In
the letter Reeves explained his posi-
ton fully and Seaford regrets the
circumstances.
Now that the championship game Is
on between the teams Manager Daw-
son has put the focus on the winner
of the Parkaide-Hsghland game.
Whichever team wins the city cham
pionship Dawson believes %'ill be
looked upon as the right team to play
for the championship. Dawson wants
TO play the winner of this game or any
Wilmington team that has the best
claim TO the championship. He is will
ing to play any team that the sporting
editor of THE JOURNAL thinks Is the
right one.
Seaford was right on the Job with
the strongest team that has ever play
ed for Seaford at Wilmington. and
every one seems disappointed that the
game was called OFF. Lower Delaware
baseball fans regard Seaford as being
the holder Of the state championship
honors. but since they have not beaten
any Wilmington team this year the
claim is hardly clear. Dawson wants
TO make II clear TO the Delaware
/ sporting public He Is waiting to hear

John D. as a Jester.

Every little while Cousin John
Rockefeller does something to add an
other plank of evidence to the theory
that he has deep-seated sense of
humor. He is becoming more and
more of giddy sort of jester.
A short time before the Rockefel-
lers left here for the east, Cousin
Rockefeller and a number of friends
were out a-golfng. Several women,
wives and friends of number of the
contestants, were present, and John
D. was having great sport poking fun
at the golfers whenever one of them
would make poor stroke. The wo-
men laughed heartily at the expense
of the erring player whenever John
would spring one of his funny gibes
and the oil refiner was in high glee.
1t came the turn of one player who
had just taken up the game week or
two previously, but who averaged as
good game as most of the others.
YOU'D better explain to the ladies'"
he whispered to his host, that l am
just beginner"
Tell them you're just beginner"
repeated John, loud enough for all to
hear. "Why, man, do you think any
of the ladies present are so stupid
that they won't know that when they
see you drive off?"-Cleveland Plain

ITcHED so COULD NOT SLEEP

II suffered from the early part Of
December until nearly the beginning
of March with severe skin eruptions
on my face and scalp. At first I
treated 1t as a trivial matter. But
after having used CASTLE soap, medi-
Gated washrags, cold cream, vanish
Ing cream, etc., found no relief what
ever. After that diagnosed my case
as eczema, because Of its dry, scaly
appearance. The itching and burning
OF my scalp became so intense that I
thought I should go mad, having not
slept regularly for months past, only
at intervals, waking up now and then
because of the burning and itching Of
my skin. Having read different tes-
timonials Of cures by the Cuticura
Remedies, decided to purchase box
OF Cuticura Ointment and a cake Of
Cuticura Soap. After using them for
few days recognized a marked
change in my condition. I bought
about two boxes of Cuticura Ointment
and five cakes of Cuticura Soap in all.
and after few days I was entirely
free from the itching and burning.
My eczema was entirely cured, all
due to using Cuticura Soap and ONT
ment daily Hereafter I will never
be without a cake of Cuticura Soap on
my washstand. I highly recommend
the CItic'ua Remedies to anyone sui.
