Farnhurst Asylum
Inmates
ARREST UMPS FOR
THROWING TIE GAME

Field day sports Of the New Cas-
tie County Medical Society at Farm
hurst yesterday afternoon proved one
of the greatest frolics ever enjoyed
by the members. The program OF
the afternoon included an automobile
parade In which the doctors left VIII
mington. There were twenty-one ma
chimes and each one carried pennants
bearing the name OF the society.
The doctors assembled at the office
OF DR.. II. w. Briggs on Jackson
street and paraded from there to
Farnhuret. As soon as they had been
welcomed by Superintendent and Mrs.
Hancker they started a ball game
with a picked team of the inmates of
the Delaware Hospital for the Insane
and we're defeated 6 to 3. II was
one OF the most exciting games ever
played on the Farnhurst diamond and
IL was nothing unusual 10 see two
sturdy policemen dragging the UNI
pires from the field for making rank
decisions. The fans demanded fair
play and used the strong arm Of the
blue coats TO enforce their demands
DR.. Hancker was arrested" twice for
mdklnR rank oeCltlOnh ana Ut lOm-
linson made umpire. He did not last
an inning however. for he gave so
many more bad decisions in favor OF
the inmates that the physicians sent
UP a protest and he was promptly
arrested" and dragged from the
field.
II took about six umpires and half
a dozen scorekeepers to run the
game.
! Following the ball game came the
I sack race which was won by Dr. Johr
Ball
The marathon race was won by Dr
r. y. Ellegood. II had TO be rur
twice before a decision was given.
On the rife range there was anoth
or wrangle. The long and short rangl
work was filled with poor shots anC
many entries. There was a hard con
test for the prize which was TO bl
awarded 10 the best marksman.

LESS TO CAPE RACE. June 9.-It
was not until late yesterday that Jack
Johnson, heavyweight champion of the
world, emerged from his state room
and became a part of the life on ship
board Despite his protestations that
he was a good sailor" Johnson felt
very uncomfortable while the liner
was moving northward along the Long
Island coast. Today, however, he is
making up for lost time.
After a session with the appliances
in the big ship gymnasium, Johnson
gave a boxing exhibition with his
sparring partners, which was Witness
ed by all of the male and goodly por-
tion of the female passengers. The big
black showed the effects of recent
training and seemed in condition to
enter the ring again at a moments
notice.
There is no race prejudice mani
tested among the passengers. most OF
whom regard the Galveston negro as
source of entertainment for the voyage
all the way across. After he got his
sea legs, Jack established headquart-
ers at one of the big tables in the cor
ner of the smoking room and kept the
corks popping merrily. He insisted he
was going to have a good time and
that he had plenty of money with
which to pay for 1t.
