sNAPPY PRACTICE.
High School Team all Ready for Game With Henderson College
 Todav

The High School team had it's fin- al workout yesterday afternoon be- fore the game with Henderson. at the State Fair. The practice was fast and snappy and the coaches feel that the team will do better work and have more of the appearance of a real team than last Saturday.
 As to who will win. if is hard to say. The teams played tie game last year the cleanest. fastest game seen on the ocal giridiron While Hot Springs will have a good team tomorrow it will not be the best team in school, as several of the boys are working at the fair and have either been conditioned in their studies, or can not get off to play. Maynard who handled the team at quarter is suffering with a badly swollen jaw caused by an ulcerated tooth. and will be unable to play. A quarter cannot be made in a day and his loss will be felt keeniy.
 The Henderson team is reported to be very fast and will be accom- panied by a hundred and fifty root CTS to cheer them on. If the local team is not better supported than formerly, the visitors will have al the best of the cheering part of it, and cheering helps.
 The game will be called at o'clock instead of 4 o'clock as announced, in order that the Henderson team may leave at 5;30 o'clock.

OPPOSE PUBLIC
UTILITIES BILL
Mr.. Crosby Is Against the
Monaghan Bill That Applies
to the City
PUBLIC SERVICE MANAGERS
BEFORE THE LEGISLATURE

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER. March l3.-Oscar T. Crosby,
President of the Wilmington and Phil
adelphia Traction Company and Rich
ard W. Crook. manager of the Peoples
Railway Company are at the Leglsla-
ture today looking after the bill that
would affect their companies.
Both are opposing the bill which
has already passed the House and
which is now pending in the Senate to
require vestibules for the protection OF
motormen and conductors during the
winter months. They are opposing the
bill on the ground of the expense it
would entail on their companies. Mr.
Crook also is urging the bill to permit
one railway company TO use the tracks
of another to get to a wharf or sta
tion.
Mr.. Crosby is opposing Senator Mon
aghan's bill to create a Public Utili-
ties Commission for Wilmington ON
the ground that the Street and Sewer
Directors already have much of the
power that is asked for a Utilities
Commission. Mr.. Crosby, however. is
not opposing Representative MoOre's 8
bill for a Public Utilities Commission
, for the State.
Senator Monaghan's bill provides
| for commission of five members, one
TO be elected from each representative
/ district Of Wilmington and il does not
/ apply to railroad companies.
! Mr. MoOre's bill provides for three
commissioners to be appointed by the
| Governor and applies to all public
utilities Of the State.
Mr. Moore's bill originally applied
TO railroads. but the railroad clause
! has been knocked out.
General Manager Crook Of the Peo-
/ pies Railway Company. said that he
was not opposing either public util-
/ ity bill. Give us commission OF
fair men and l have no objection, -
