DELAWARE GAINS
MORE ATHLETES

Delaware College will be reinforced
in the athletic line this year when
the college opens on Sept 16. Many
local athletes with join the Gold and
Blue ranks and the infusion Of new
blood makes quite an impression OF
Delaware's sporting annals for the
coming season. It has been reported
that Bill Kyle and Joe HortY who
we're conspicuous in Wilmington
High School athletics for four years,
will be numbered in the college fresh
men column. Norman Jones Of last
years Cherry and White basketball
team, will be an aspiiant for cage
honors at Newark Joe Daley, the
sensational Friends School forward
has also signified his intention of be-
coming aseident at the old institu-
ton. Larry Rigney, the Brownson
comet has enlisted and should prove
a valuable addition to the college
basket ball tossers.
With Jones, Horty, Kyle, Rigney,
Daley and possibly Gerald DougEerty
as freshmen, sporting life at old Della
ware should receive quite an upllft
when the call of the gridiron and the
referees whistle break in upon the
summers tranquility.

GOOD BALL PLAYERS
SCARCE,

Baseball scouts this summer are
complaining about scarcity of good
ball-players in minor leagues. The
men who make living by securing
little leagues for available talent for
the big show declare that seldom
have they encountered fewer men
who look really promising, who show
the earmarks of coming stars.
Many of those encountered who do
look like comers are not TO be touch
ed, because they are big league
farm hands" They are playing with
minor teams until such time as their
major owners shall have need of
them.
The players in the smaller leagues
who posses real ability are for the
most part held in prohibitive prices.
OF course as the opening day OF the
drafting season draws night most of
the minor club owners will sell their
stars, or at least, they will get rid
of them for the time being under
some arrangement with a major lea
que team which will permit Of their
return next spring.
Howard Earl says that since Bar
ney Dreyfuss paid $22,500 for Marty
O'Toole every minor league owner in
the country is trying to break into
the limelight by disposing of a star
youngster at a record price. Some of
the demands made along this line are
really ridiculous. One owner, for in
stance. asked $500 and two players
for a pitcher who had won ~ games
and lost 13 in a Glass c league.
The twirler. when looked over by
the scouts, showed numerous weak
nesses, some of which ii might take
him years to overcome

The violent volcanic eruption that

material on the northern part OF the
Kodiak Island and created great

Under the joint auspices of the Geo

The delay in passing the appropria-

the United States geological survey
to carry out all the field plans for
Alaska that had been formulated for
1912, but the funds that became avail
able by emergency appropriations
made it possible to dispatch several

Alaska as promptly as the appropria-

In southeastern Alaska the Survey

dicted that 1t would be grand and
glittering success on the opening
night Frank p. Morse, who works in

see the performance, having assured
him beforehand that he was about to
witness the best show ever exposed
to the glare of the footlights At the

to Morse and pleaded in a loud tone
of voice.
Frank, take me out of this right
away! This is the dreariest gloomi-
est most dismal failure / ever saw"

panic. Keep quiet until we leave

Outside in the street, he turned to

was sitting right behind you and Abe
Erlanger right in front of YOU"

\ PLEBE AT WEST POINT.

Notwithstanding the efforts to sup
press hazing, the path of ''plebe'
at our famout military academy is
not exactly rose-strewn. w. 5. Sam
pie, in the September Lippincoitt' S
gives an amusing and enlightening ac-
count of the experiences of one
"plebe"
For the first days in camp" the
author tells us, 'plebes are made to
walk with their little fingers on the
seams of their trousers palms of the
hands to the front, and depressing
their toes as they walk; that is
striking the ground with the toe of
the shoes first 1t is a very tiresome
ana ludicrous process, and is called
filming out
"A plebe walking quietly down the
company street is observed by some
visitors, when suddenIy he throws out
his hands and digs in his toes.
"'Oh, Cadet Beanpole, why is that
cadet walking so queerly?' asks a
pretty girl.
THAT isn't a cadet; it's a plebe.
He walks that way because he wants
to be graceful
THE true reason is that the poor
plebe heard some upper-c,assman say:
gin out there, mister; dig those toes;
tear up the gravel, What do you
mean by deadbeating and going bow
legged?'
THE cadets march to meals, to
church, to swimming, to dancing, to
everything. The plebes are placed
in the rear rank of all formations;
and in counting fours they are sup
posed to count for their front rank
file.
THE first meal a plebe eats in the
mess hall with the corps is never for
gotten Twelve cadets are seated at
table, at least three of whom are
plebes The cadet in charge of the
table sits at the head while plebe
called the gunner sits at the foot.
1t is the duty of the gunner to call the
table to attention each day, and to
announce the kind of dessert. AS
there is no bill of fare, and the des-
sert is different every day, this is not
always an easy job. If the gunner
announces the dessert incorrectly, he
is deprived of his portion.
THE plebe on the gunner's right
is called the cocoa corporal, and on
the left, the water corporal 1t is the
duty of the cocoa corporal to pour out
the cocoa and the water corporal
pours the water.
The cadets often have fierce
! and wonderfully built jelly called 'Fe-
lix trembled. This concOction wab-
| bles all over your plate, and derives
| its name from a cadet named Felix
one of the oldest living graduates
who ate some of the mixture and
| trembled violently. Cadets who eat il
| have trembled ever since. Molasses
| is called Sammy by the upper-class-
men. Plebes are required to call II
the Right Reverend Mr.. Samuel
sir" until they qualify which is
| done by eating seven slices of bread
and molasses, when they may call II
| Sammy
after finishing their meals plebes
are required to sit bolt upright ano
gaze fixedly at a potato stuck or
matches in the center of the table
! They are not allowed to feast theil
! eyes upon the portraits of the great
generals that decorate the walls oi
| the mess hall, but must sit and brace
until the command, 'Battalions, rise,
is given, when they fall in and marcf
| back to camp"
