THE first real attempt to con
solidate public schools in rural dis
tricts in Delaware has just been
crowned with success, and the
superintendent of the public schools
in New Castle County is to be con-
graduated in bringing the school
voters to act favorably in this most
important school matter. There
is urgent need for rural consolida-
tion Of rural schools in both Kent
and Sussex counties, and the
superintendents must urge and push
the question persstently upon the
voters of the districts affected, so
that there may be general enligten-
ment as to the advantages to be
had for the children by consolida-
ton. 1t must always be kept in
mind, that it is the children of your
own people to whom the advantages
come, and that each time the matter
is postponed, the children of that
period will lose the advantages for
a better education. It should not
matter to any parent what the cost
10 the public is, so that they get
real value for the money expended.
No man or woman ever gained
penny by depriving their children
Of the opportunity to get a good |
education, and for that reason we
say from our personal observation
Of the condition of the public
schools in Delaware. that there is
immediate and urgent need for rural
consolidation of thecountry schools
and for the hauling of the children
TO and from the school houses. It
is necessary because Of the advant-
ages they will have for getting a
better education, for the benefit it
will be to the children by having
graded schools, for their general
health and from the moral condi-
tions which follow rural consolida-
ton, and above all this it will
createschool advantages which will
keep the boys and girls at their
homes, and not bring them into
contact with the disadvantages of
town life, thereby creating an in
clination to desert the farm, and t
further draw from the already de.
pleted army of agriculturists in '
Delaware. Think about rural con-
Of the schools. get in
formation as to its advantages, and
then intelligently approach the ques-
ton. Do not display the flag of
ignorance, by declaring that the
schools are now better than those b
you attended of course they are
better, you would at once prove a
this by your opposition, yet that is ?
no reason why the children should e
not have still better advantages to y
be educated under. We hope that
the superintendent of Kent and
Sussex Counties will be able to
bring about the condition, which /

BRESNAHAN
SQUARE, MAYBE,
FOCEL'SCOMMENT

Horace Fogel, president of the Phil
lies. declared the other day that Chi
cago Charlie Murphy's complaint
about Roger Bresnahan being unduly
friendly with the New York Giants
was justified by some Of Bresnahan's s
past performances. Fogel says he
is not Interested In Bresnahan's part
In the worlds tour that the Giants
will take under McGraw. but refers
to the last days of the last years
pennant race.
IF you Will recall" said Fogel.
"last season when the Giants hit st.
Louis on their last Western trip
Bresnahan. who had been using his
regular team against the Cubs and
the Pirates, put in a lot of rockies.
He used bushers In the inffeld and the
outfield. and instead of going behind
the bat himself he put in Wingo. a
green one. 10 catch. Did that look as
though Bresnahan wanted to win a
game from the Giants? Not much.
There is only one conclusion to arrive
atm that case Roger wanted TO help
McGraw and his team to win the pen
nant. and he did.
THAT was not fair, and you can
bet It wasn't overlooked. although at
the time there was little said Of it,
The Pirates and Cubs were running
neck and neck with the Giants al
that time, and II the Cardinals had
grabbed of a game or two things
might have been different Watch
how things go this year.

CLUBS BUNCH
ON LAST LAP OF
TRI-STATE RACE

With the end of the season less
than three weeks distant the clubs in
the Tri-State league are bunhing for
the final dash pennantward. Har-
risburg, with colors flying. is leading
the chase but is being pushed hard
by Trenton and Allentown. both of
which are trying hard to oust the
Senators from the enviable berth.
During the past week the feature of
the race was the squirt taken by AL
lenown. Coughlin's Dutchmen are
now tide with Trenton for second
place.
Despite many adverse conditions
and unexpected changes In the cir
cult, the Tri-State has weathered the
storm thus far and bids fair to con-
tinue as a successful organization in
baseball Another year may see fur
ther changes, but those in close
touch with league affairs declare
they do not anticipate a complete
abandonment of the circuit A reor-
ganlzation. with new officers will
bring about the desired effect, many
believe.
AS far as Wilmington is concerned
the past was a good week, the club
winning six Of its seven games.
The Chicks are only one game and
half back of Atlantic City and
seven games behind Allentown which
is in third place. The Chicks may
displace the Shore Buds but 1t is not
likely that the Allentown speed will
slacken sufficiently to let the Chicks
finish third.
The fans are taking kindly to the
dollar Day" game and indications
point to a big game when the Chicks
get back on August 80.

MURPHYSAYSCUBS
HAVE GOOD CHANGE

President Charley Murphy OF the
Chicago Cubs is feeling quite rocky
these days over the Giants. Follow
ing is his latest:
"If we do not beat the Giants from
now says Murphy "and lead them
at the finish we Will at least give
them the scare OF their lives. Person
ally,l think the Cubs have much more
than an outside chance for the pen
nant / believe that the Chicago
Club as IL is now lined up is superior
10 the Giants.
In my judgement the Chicago team
knows more inside baseball than any
team in the country, and ] think we
have increased our pitching strength
materially in Letheld, Lavender and
Cheney. Reulbach is going fine at
this time, and will no doubt be a big
factor in our success throubhout the
remainder of the season.
81 do not think I ever saw Manager
Chance manifest more interest In the
game than Just now, and this is large
ly due to the fact that he is feeling
better than he has for some time past.
THE tremendous batting of Zim-
norman, together with his all-around
play has helped us largely and Mana
ger Chance recently said he would
not trade Zimmerman for any third
baseman in baseball
"Saier and Leach are both playing
great ball and have fitted into our ma
chine nicely. Eevers, Tinker, Sheck-
ard and Schultz are going along as
well as they have in former years.
and the catching of Archer is some
thing that people talk about every
place the Cubs go. We are well for
titled in having Tom Downey and
Jerry Downs for utility infelders,
as both of them are good batters and
base runners and men of experience
who know the game.
Our outfield rs we'll fortified i'm
having such men as Goode. Williams
and Miller for extra men, as we are
practically carrying two outfields.
I'VE are securing the country in
our effort to secure little more
pitching strength. and we will not al
low the expenditure of money to
stand in the way Of giving the public
the best that can be had II we can
build up our pitching staff so that Il
will be 20 per cent. stronger next year
than Il is this year / do not see how
any club Is going to beat us out OF
another pennant- We have our lines
out for. some mighty good men, and
] would not be surprised II their
success would duplicate that OF Law
endea, .Leifield and Cheney with us.
