RAUGHLEY'S SPLlTTERS PUZZL
THE TOWNSMEN.

THE TOWNSMEN.
In what was probably one of the best
attended games ever played on the Ath-
letic Field, Delaware very much sur
prised Vic Willis Hopes by defeating
them on Decoration Day, 13 to l. Gregg
occupied the mound for the Newarkers
and pitched rather poor ball, as thir
teen safe bingles were secured off his de-
livery, and he issued two passes and
hit one man. Raughley was on the fir
ing line for the Cadets and pitched ex-
ceeding well. Delaware slammed tue
ball at will, while Newark only con-
nected twice; although both times they
did it, they secured three-baggers.
The contest was replete with sensa-
tional features; notably the home run
swat of Taylor to deep right, and the
three base slams of Jackson and Morris
to the left garden ditch Both outfelds
also distinguished themselves by maxi
ing several difficult catches. Pop Mont
gomery was right on the job and show
ed that he has lots of baseball left in
him yet, by accepting three chances
without an error. Knopf likewise play
ed star game in the centre grass plot
and appeared to have recovered from
his recent attack of ennui. The box
score tells the rest:

and also explained the position
the federal building will occupy on
either side of the new avenue. He
further showed the students the
position of the proposed bridge
across the Potomac, and how it
would greatly add to the beauty
of the city. He also called atten.
ton to the many public play
grounds in the city.
The last day of the tour was de.
voted entirely to the study OF the
landscape details d; Arlington
Cemetery. The new and the old
sections were compared. The
utility of the walks and drives was
discussed. The use Of formal
flower beds was also brought into
the discussion.
The tour was a great success
The students received a consider
able amount of practical instruc-
ton which cannot be obtained in
the college. incidentally the mum,
erous public buildings were visit,
ed. Among them were the agri
cultural buildings which perhaps
created as much interest as any
owing to the fact that some O
the students looked upon these az
places where in the near future

Trip To Washington

Delaware College class in Land
scape Gardening has just return
ed from Washington, where, uh-
der the guidance of Prof. c. A..
McCue it made a three day tour
of inspection of the public parks
and squares. The idea of the tour
was to take note of the actual de-
signs and methods on planting the
various trees, shrubs and flower
ing plants. Many beautiful de-
signs were seen. At each park
and square student was requir-
ed to give his ideas as to the
means he would use to improve
the general plan of the park or
square under discussion.
One of the most interesting fea-
lures of the trip was visit to the
Botanical Gardens. Here the
students were asked to take par
ticular note of the various as tc
their habits of growth and their
| ornamental values.
During the trip Professor Nc
Cue explained the idea the city
authorities have of improving the
city. He illustrated his explana
tions by means Of models which
are in the Congressional library

COLLEGE NOTES

Delawares team, which has evidently
gone stale on account of so much work
incident to such a long schedule, drop
ped both games which were played away
last Friday and Saturday. Stevens Insti-
tute at Hoboken, N. j., captured the
first 8 to 2. and Rutgers College at New
Brunswick, N. j., annexed the second,
10 to 0. Nuf sed.
In one of the most spirited elections
ever held in the college the Frat ele-
ment succeeded in electing their men by
a small majority. All three of them had
to combine, however, to perform this
feat. This combination was only adopt
ed as a last resort to vanquish the Re-
form Party, and no doubt went very
much aginst the grain Of each one. 1t
succeeded in it's purpose though, and
seach Frat. got three men, which divided
the offices up evenly. he following mer

The building was one binding
mass of fame. The firemen had
withdrawn; the police were trying
to force the crowd back to safer dis
lance. Nothing could be done now
but protect the neighboring struct-
ures and the weary workers turned
their streams of water to right and
left. The crowd shouted advice to
the firemen, and called down impre-
cations upon the heads of the police
who were slowly forcing it back.
But suddenly the rlotous clamer
sank to awed sibilation as the thou
sands of faces were turned upward,
attracted by falling window.

tenth story window, supported only
by the pressure of her outstrefched

from the seething furnace behind,
stood young girl. A groan of
horror, pierced by the shrieks of
