BASE BALL.

Inone of the fastest games ever played
on the local diamond, the Milford All
Stars defeated the Lumber Co. boys on
Saturday last by a score of 4 to 0, get
ting all their runs in the first inning.
Both Davis and Legar, after the first
inning, pitched alright ball and were
well supported The attendance was
very small owing to the big game on
Friday. The boys will play again this
Saturday afternoon, and to allow those
who wish to catch the 5 o'clock train,
the game will be called at g. 80 O'Clock.
As there is still some debt to be paid off
these are benefit games, the boys Civ
ing their services for the purpose, and
the fans should go out and help them
lift the debt.

in his touching a runner out. who was

The Caulk team, which is composed
of employees of the L. D. Caulk Com
pany, whose large dental manufacture
ing plants are located in Milford, was,
without question, the wonder of the
1914 base ball season in Delaware.
Although she had a good team last
year, they did not cause the fast clubs
to take notice. This year from the start
she beat all of the fast clubs. Except
for a losing streak early in August,
when she lost seven games in a row,
Caulk took the large majority of her
games each week. The fact the Caulk
was playing such fast ball caused every
club on the Peninsula to go after faster

HIGH SCHOOL BASKET BALL.

The Milford Public Schools opened on
Wednesday last with an excellent attend
ance. 1t is to be hoped that the basket
ball teams of the High School will not
be allowed to disband this year. Last
season the boys team of the school was
not much of a success. but the girls
team was the surprise Of the year. 1t
is understood that some little opposition
to the basket ball teams has arisen, but
the exercise and training which those
on the teams will receive from the sport
should influence in favor of the game.
Lets have two fast High School teams.
As September 30th, is the last date
when notices from landlord or tenant
can be legally given of intention to
vacate property, there will be numerous
surprises in store for the next three
weeks.

The Clubwoman's Greed

AT the convention Of the General
Federation OF. Women's Clubs, held
in Chicago during the spring, the
following creed was read:
Keep US, o God, from pettiness;
let US be large in thought, in word,
in deed.
Let US be done with fau1t-finding
and love of self-seeking.
May we put away pretense and
meet each other face to face-with-
out se1f-pity and without prejudice.
May we never be hasty in iudg-
ment and always generous.
Let us take time for all things
make us grow calm, serene, gentle.
Teach us to put into action our
better impulses, straightforward and
unafraid.
Grant that We may realize it is
the little things that create differ
ences; that in the big things of life
we are one.
And may we strive and touch and
to know the great common woman 5
heart of US all, and, o Lord, let us
not forget to be kind!

day from a visit to Lake Weir.

Epworth League Number of the Flor
ida Christian Advocate

A recent issue OF the Florida
Christian Advocate was devoted en-
tirely to the Epworth League inter-
ests. Mrs. Maud b. Little is the
characteristic zeal and intelligence
presented a highly creditable volume,
not single page of the entire six
teen being dull and commonplace.
The publishers thought so we'll of the
character of the matter which Mrs.
Little gathered and produced for this
issue that they actually omitted the
publication of the bishops address
delivered at the general conference,
saying that the Epworth League had
right of way for the time being and
that by another week the address
would reach their readers through
other sources and would not, there
fore, be published at all in their Ad-
yocate.
We will not undertake reproduc-
ton of Mrs. Titles handiwork, for
it would mean practically the print
ing of every page in the number, so
interviewer is it throughout all the
makeup of the paper.
We do, however, want to congrat-
ulate the Florida Epworth Leaguers
upon having this Little" edition, for
she knows how to do things and
possesses the heart and soul to carry
to successful issue any undertaking
for which she assumes the response
bility. She is rendering not only
the Epworth League of her own state
