ANNIVERSARIES
  OF RING BATTLES


 1Sds-Peters Craw1ey defeated Ben Sutcliffe near Kingston, Eng. Craw- ley, who became champion of England by whipping lem Ward in 1s27, was then a butcher who followed fighting only as a side line. and the same was true of his opponent. In those days it was the custom of candidates for office to employ lighting men to look after their interests -sona election days, and kCreYzley aand Sutc1fffe were em- ployed by opposing candidates This association led to a quarrel and the ring battle was the result, both butch- CTS having carefully bottled up their wrath until they could get a. purse for loosing it. A great crowd Of sports witnessed the bout, which lasted fifty minutes before CrawIey triumphed l over his rival. Peter won many bat ties in the succeeding years, and also conducted a butcherssnop andsa boxing school in the same building. His de- feat of lem Ward for the title came as a great surprise. but Crawley re- fused to light again ,and retired from the ring shortly after receiving the belt He opened a public house in London, and as sporting bonifaee en- Joyed great popularity until his death, at ripe old age. in 1865.

WILL FEDERAL LEAGUE
 LOAD UP WITH MORE HIGH SAIARIED PLAYERS

While the talk of the Federal league making another raid Son orr ganized. baseball leaguel is going ons itszis hard to figure how men of sound business. judgment will load up their league with more high salarfed play CTS when they admit that five of the eight clubs hay lost money. There. may be another raid of some import anees but there will have to be away of relieving the new league of many of the@ players now under contract in order to make room for the new tal-s ent.'
 Relieving the league Of players t111-. der contract is not going to be an easy! task. When the outlaws signed m en last winter they guaranteed their salaries and gave most of the players two or three-ya ear contracts. while it was necessary to sdos this in order to. make the players leave sure jobs for an uncertainty as it was then, they now havea who are of little or no value to them who area d drawi irae, d own big salaries and are a constant Sx- pense to the club owners This no doubt is the cause Of much of the loss
 Good examples Of this are the cases Of Doc GessIer Of Pittsburgh and Drummond Brown of Kansas City. Gessler was disc harged as manager and is kept on the payroll because the club is bound to fulfi11 it's contract with him. Brown is in uniform each day and is drawing his salary, but he has caught few games Possibly he is needed, but 1t is pointed out by men interested thatsif he were not with the club it would make room for a more valuable catcher.
 Federal leasue $ e1nagnates have ad- lnnitted that the ten day c1aue is a ,good thing for basebalI, but their only
 method of procuring ball players was I to make a. fight on this clause. which they didf th consid deEabIe success If peace is}declared in the near future it is a safe bet that the new Ieaguers 1 will be }gaad to accept the To-day I clause under a peace agreement and salaT1es will drop back to normal again. The mere fact that major and lmtnor league club owners have lost
 mon ley this year shows plainly that the [ten-day clause protected the game lfrom a financial standpoint

U. s. SENATE FEARS. SHlP BILL CHANGE
 WOULD CAUSE WAR

Washington. Aug. 6-Fsear of internas- tiona1 complications has brought to g. halt in the Senate the bdn authorizing the President to waive the existing restriction upon the admission Of for eign vessels to sAmaFfcan registry.
 Senators Ganfnger and Crawford proposed legisaation might involve the United states in the war that is now devastating Europe If foreign mer- chant vessels were entered under American registry with foreign officers and crews, they contended. there woHsd be possibility that they might be seized as prizes of war.
 The responsfb f1ity for avoiding trou- ble was put upon the American cftf- zens or corporations who might avail themselves of the privileges of the act by Senator OsS3prnaan,s who said they must be aprepared to prove that the purchase zof foreign vessels was made in good sfaith and not to evade the consequen1ces of war.
 ssThe situation would not be any worse under this amended law than it is at present" ]" sserted Senator Walsh.
 tsAt present Americans can purchase abroad ships under. i've years of age register. Tf1isssinnply extends the time limit. It must be remembered that the character of ship is not de- tern1tned by the nationality of her crew, but by her register.'
 Senator w eeks said there were many vessels of great capacity on the grea,; lakes, now carrying coal and ore,
 which might be used in the foreign service.

Delaware College will fail in it's
mission unless as a result of it's ac-
tlvltles every acre Of ground yields
richer harvest, unless all breeds
OF stock on the farm are improved.
unless the varied industries are
quickened with new initiative and
power, unless the life of the home is
sweetened, unless all the schools of
the State are strengthened, and un-
less the churches and all the agen-
cles that make for a soul social
and moral life are REINFORCED. The
influence of the College should
tend to a string with energy the
arm OF e. ,ry worker and impart
noble idealism to the thought of
every citizen. In fine the task of
an American College is to make
publicists. When men and women
have publicmindedness, all reforms
accomplish themselves through
growth and self-renewal of social
agencies.
"The events that are now taking
place In Europe emphasize as never
before the moral mission Of Amer
lea. We have cherished hitherto
the detachment Of our nation and
it's independent role in the affairs
of mankind. This path outlined by
Washington has brought to Amer
lea a moral prestige unique in the
annals of mankind. SO big with
import is this fact that it furnishes

occasion for solemn thought rather
than national complacency. In the
presence Of such a task the Col
lege must energize all the moral
forces in the life of America. 1t
must temper the MIND of youth
with seriousness as regards respon-
sibility, and sympathy as regard
the progress of the race.

character furnishes an admirable
site for college which is to in
spire youth with ideals of growth
and OF service through truth and
freedom. It's situation on the mid
Atlantic seaboard has many ad-
vantages as regards temperate eli
mate and Inherited traditions of re-
finement and achievement. Placed
virtually on the Mason and Dixon
Line, Delaware College is national
III spirit and scope, able to inter-
pret Alright what is best in the
North and what is best in the
South in helping to make the
American mind.
The bases Of the College are laid
on granite in that it is State in
stltutlon buttressed by Federal
funds and now beginning to receive
the generous support of it's Alumni
and the friends of education. Thus
while its ownership and control
are single, centering wholly in the
State of Delaware, the support of
the college is ree-fold, represent
ing union of the resources of the
State, Nation, and endowment. An
analysis of these three sources of
income is encouraging. When Del
aware College was reopened in
1870, the income from the Federal
Government was less than $4,000.
Today the total income from the
Nation is $S5, 900, and this amount
will increase for the next seven
years at the rate of $l26O. SO graf
|ifying have been the results of this
investment in education along ag-
|ricultural and scientific lines by the
National Government that we may
confidently epect this sum to grow
from decade to decade.
The financial history of the
| college shows that the State has
|put its shoulder to the wheel At
first the appropriations by the Leg
|islature were intermittent, now
they are continuous and increasing.

1.-The details could OF course Dc
elaborated but the central ideas are
(a) to eliminate one-half of the pres
ent crop, which is not needed, in such
a way that it will not throw a rum
GUS burden on the farmer, and (b) 10
keep the crop of 1915 down to such
small proportions that the one-half
carried over can be marketed at a
higher price than it's collateral
value

ed to buy only the first half picked

cash or the credit at his bank or he

THE WIVES OF PUBLIC MEN.

1t is the rule in public service, that
the man wins the applause, but the
wife Often carries burden the
weight of which is unrecognized. The
fact is suggested by the pathetic
death of Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, and
the i'll health encountered by Mrs
Taft in the white house. The posi-
ton of first lady in the land" is not
the ornamental joy it seems to many
aspiring women.
The experience of a public mans
wife must be a little like those of a
soldiers wife. The latter does not
have to meet the shock OF battle nor
suffer from the miasma of fevers
BUT she can imagine untold suffering

THE WEALTHIEST NATION.

An English statistician is authority
for the statement that the United
States is not only the wealthiest ma
ton in the world but it is nearly
twice as rich as any other nation and
its wealth is almost equal to that
of Great Britain and Germany com
bined, while our wealth is about
three times that of France.
The wealth of the United Kingdom
is estimated at $50. OOO, 100000, that OF
Germany at $4,000, OO0, 900, that OF
France $4,000, 100000 while the
wealth of the United States is esti-
mated at $50. 0OO, 900, 900.
American wealth, according to this
English statistician, is growing at the
rate of $1,000, 100000 a year. Our
banking deposits increase at the rate
of about billion year. issues OF
new capital about three billions a
year, and building in the leading
cities of the country about a billion
more, not counting the buildings in
the smaller cities and the factory
farm and mining improvements.
