DAY FOR CELEBRATION
SOME PLAYERS DO UNUSUALLY

Frank J. Navin. owner OF the De-
troit Tigers. has had the suggestion
made to him that whenever any of
his players is to have a birthday the
fact be announced in the papers in
the city in which the Jenningstes are
performing. The reason for this sug-
gestion is that on July 4, 1912. the De-
troit papers called attention to the
fact that George MulHn would that
day celebrate his thirty-second birth
day Portly George, now with the
Indianapolis Feds. proved some cele-
brater, for he not only blauked the
Browns in runs, but denied them hits,
too
On the morning of April IS a De-
'roit paper carried a story that Sam
Crawford was celebrating his thirty
fourth birthday, it being pointed out
in said story that "Wahoo Sam" on
his birthday anniversaries was not in
the habit of batting heavily. and that
his average for the games ne had
played on April is. from 1902 on, had
been just .23i. Sam, noting this fact,

tender, where h, had no business to
be, just before the engine rolled into
the ditch. The baggageman was
killed. leaving a destitute family.
Give me $1,000 for the widow and
kids" Thornton asked of headquarters.
Not a nickel" said headquarters
coldly. 1T was the baggageman' s
fault that he was killed"

and when her name comes off mine
comes with it."
She's still there, so far as any one
knows. Perhaps that incident helps
explain why Thornton was selected to
take charge of the Great Eastern, for
the position of general manager on
an English railroad is equivalent to
that of president Of the United States.
The Great Eastern handles a great
er committing traffic than any other
road in England, and its short haul
business, during the summer resort
season. is perhaps the greatest in the
world.
But, according to the committing
public of England, its directing heads
assay heavily in pure bone Ticket
sales are never stopped, no matter
how badly the line may be blocked.
Trains are held in smoke-filled tun-
nels, rather than permit a step aside
from routine procedure.
Amy one can handle engines and
cars and tunnels" said a railroad
man. but Thornton is a wonder at
handling men That's why England
took him"
He must not only teach the railroad
using public of England to love the
Great Eastern. which entails a com
plete reversal of all the laws of HUI
man nature, but must also win the
loyal support of the Great Eastern S
employees.
In a way, American railroaders and
their methods will go on trial with
Thornton in England This may not
seem fair. but it is the fact.

council FAVORS
SALARY Increase

As the result of rumor that the
Park Board did not intend to grant
an increase in salary to the city park
guards, vic the fnence committee Of
Council believed woui,. be done when
they granted the increased Park Board
appropriation, City Council last night
adopted a resolution favoring the in
creased salaries.
Colonel Stoyer explained that the in
crease in the Park Board appropriation
had been granted by Council for the
express purpose of increasing the salary
of park guards, and it is understood
that failure on the part Of the park
board TO comply with this request will
mean that the sum referred TO will be
transferred from the Park Board appro-
priation to the incidental and miscel-
laneous appropriation.
W. p. Bancroft, president Of the
Park Board, objected and said the APP
preparation was given for the care
and maintenance Of parks and not
specifically for park guards salary
increase.

Mr.. Goldman was with the Gorham

When the Gorham Company, through
Mr.. Davis, was given the contract for
the battleship Delaware's silver serv-
ice. Mr.. Goldman was in Wilmington

late Howard Pyle and others as to
symbolic decorations to go on the
silverware. He made many acquaint-
ances while here and developed a
warm friendship with Mr.. Davis.
"I am going to make the silver
service for the battleship Delaware
my masterpiece" Mr.. Goldman told
Mr.. Davis as he started back to
! Providence, r. l.
When Mr. Davis was shaking Mr

MAYOR CALLS upon ALL
TO DISPLAY The FLAG

Mayor Howell has issued a proclama-
tion urging the observance of Flag Day.
1t falls on Sunday next, but the OBJ
servance is to be on Monday. The
mayor urges a general display OF the
colors in honor OF the day.
The mayors proclamation follows;
lit hardly seems necessary to re-
mind the citizens of Wilmington that
Sunday, June IA, is Flag Day (Ihe
day falling on Sunday, by general agree
ment the formal celebration will take
place on Monday, June 10, the day fol
lowing the anniversary. However, as
this day will celebrate the l37th ami
versary of the adoption of the Stars and
Stripes as the Flag of our Country, it
is lifting and proper that l should do
so.
The annual observance of Flag Day
is receiving more attention each year,
as it properly should, und IN every
state and city in these United States
more elaborate preparations are made
to properly recognize and honor ouI
glorious flag
National and civic pride, love and
appreciation of this great liberty giving
country of ours, and honor and respect
for our flag, should instill into our
minds the desire to more fully show ap-
probation of the benefits derived there
from, and do our duty individually and
collectively. by devoting some portion
of the day, June 10, to the proper dis
playing of our country's flag in public
and private places, in order that every
I citizen may be reminded of its beauty
and the protection which It extends to
us wherever it waves.
Therefore, l would respectfully re-
quest that the American flag be dis
played on all public and municipa
buildings, in the public parks and from
all public and private schools, and from
| the home of every citizen where posi-
Bile. The size of the flag is not so i'm
portant as the loyalty that is to b'
shown. May our flag be displayed OF
Monday. June 10, from the rising T.
the setting of the sun.
1T is taken for granted that all pub
lie schools and other institutions 70
learning will have proper exercises ar
ranged to commemorate the day an
celebrate the anniversary Of the brit
of the flag of our country, and continu
each day the teaching of love and pa
triotism for this, the best country il
the world.
