Hoch, Harvey. Lind and Taylor we're
given a snappy practice scooping up
the sizzlers which Foster. the scrub
1rst baseman, drove at them.
These men show up very well for
the first practice Taylor still has
his wing working and scoops them
this year with the same easy and
surety which made him such name
last year.
The only changes in the infield this
year are second base and shortstop.
Harvey, captain aud start shortstop Of
last years team. is now covering sec
ond in great style. Lind. the fast
fielding. hard hitting shortstop of last
years freshman team, is making good
al short. Lind, although he has not
had much experience I'm baseball. has
the making Of a star varsity man. II
is useless 10 say that Jim Huston is
still taking care Of Joll's "Salome"
ball and Knopf's fadesway. Jim is
now catching Gohegsn, the lanky
southpaw Of the freshman class. Just
as IL he had caught him for several
seasons.
There will be an entirely new out

selves. Several Sophomores and
freshmen are out for the outfeld and
Captain Hoch thinks he will be able
to pick a winning combination.

take notice when they run up against
them in their annual dual meet this
spring. Millington, the holder OF the
shot put record. has broken his former
record by several inches In practice
this spring. Todd. in the hammer

The candidates for the pole vault
and the jumps are out In large num-
bers. Harvey is spending most of his
time with baseball. but often finds
opportunity to practice a little jump
ing. He is showing up very we'll this
year and has repeatedly cleared s feet

Gibboney and Edgar are the most
promising men. The pole vault candi-
dates have as yet not reported, but
they are expected TO start practice

With the men out so early and
training hard. Captain Ennis expects
TO have a successful season. Although
he would make no definite statement

looked wise and said: "The boys have

James Rosenthal's Sons, owners of
the fences, stand and bleachers at
South Side Park, the old home Of
Wilmington Tri-State baseball, are
asking proposals for the removal Of
the property to land adjoining held
by the Stirlith Brothers. The property
must be removed by June l on which
date Thomas NJ. Brown and Peter F.
Cassidy, owners OF the Wilmington
Tri-State team, take over the park on
their own lease. Whether the Rosen-
thals really intend to play opposition
ball on the Stirlith ground next year
is not known here at this time. II is
certain, however. that the Wilmington
Tri-State owners will erect a splen-
did new equipment on the old ball
park next year and the game will hum
again in the old home as usual.
The dismantling of the old ball park
is the result of the failure Of the
Rosenthals and Mr. Brown and Mr.
Cassidy to agree on price for the
buildings in the old park The VIII
mington team owners offered what
they regarded as a fair price for the
property. but the offer was refused,
whereupon they took a lease on the

WARM WRAPS A NECESSITY
Seeds of Disease Likely to Be sown
When This Important Require
ment Is Neglected.

1t is highly dangerous, to say the
least of 1T, to come out OF the heated
atmosphere or a theater or private
house, as so many of us do, and go
into the cold night air, or stand in a
draught while a taxlcab or car Is be-
ing hailed, without being sufficiently
clad.
Thus too diaphanous a wrap should
be avoided for winter use, and some
thing warmer and more substantial
should be worn.
For this reason, therefore, one can
not improve on velvet as a material to
make our evening wraps of, and this
is equally successful in a dark color,
such as black bordered with white, old
blue with sable or marten, and geran'
ium, Cerise pink or scarlet with black
fox or skunk, which are among a va.
riety of combinations which contrast
admirably, and should be selected
with a view of best suitlng the color
ing OF the weaTer.

WHEN HIS RICHNESS SLEEPS
Nightrobes Of F~lannelette or Soft
Thin Flannel VIII Keep Him From
Taking Dangerous Cold.

It is essential that infants and small
children should be well protected at
night, as they are very apt to kick
the bed covering off, sometimes with
serious results in the way of Group
and colds.
Therefore, it is best to provide your
young children with long n~ightrobes
made of flannelette or soft, thin fan
mel that completely cover their little
feet.
Make the robe, or gown, perfectly
plain, and have It button In 'front.'.
The back width is cut about six
inches longer than the front aud fin,
ished with a deep hem in which but
tonholes are worked. Finish the front
breadth with q hem, and sew on fat
buttons; then, when baby goes to
sleep, button the gown over at the
bottom, so he cannot possibly uncov.
er his little limbs.
The sleeves of the gown are made
plain and long enough to cover the
hands.
Above the hands a little casing is
placed and a drawstring or ribbon
serves to close the sleeve like the top
of a bag, thus keeping little hands
snug and warm.
If you do not wish to cover the
hands, the drawstrtng can be placed
about the wrist and drawn up so 1t
will keep the small arms from sud
den chill.
