common and a number OF large COM
panies own orchards of more thaIl

Keyser. Mineral county, and Rom

principal peach centers. TIE apple
orchards are more generally distr1o-
uted. but the section around Martins
burg probably ships more apples than
any other locality. At 1nwood, a
small station south of Martinsburg.
it is common occurrence TO snip
eight to ten carloads of apples a
day during the season. In addition
to the barrels and box stock, large
quantities of apples are consumed
By the local evaporators and cider
mills. :,
The soils seem to be very well
suited to fruit culture and the indus
try has smade a remarkable develop
ment in the last ten years; in fact,
most of the orchards are not more
than twelve to fifteen years old ana
many are lust coming into bearing.

This country never showed

This country never showed any
disposition to enter the European
war. 1t never asked the president
to see that it did enter that war.
Hence where does he come in for
any credit? Several southern mem
bers of Congress clamored for war
with Mexico and the president finally
yielded to the pressure they and
others put upon him and permitted
Huerta to provoke him into taking
first war steps with Mexico in which
several precious American lives were
lost, but the A C. commissioners

PASCHALL TO MEET
OLYMPIA IN Opener
Professional Football Season
to Open at Front and Union
on Saturday
RELAY RACE ALSO
TO BE ON PROGRAM

The professional football season in
Wilmington will open on next Satur-
day, when Olympia will tackle the
Paschall club, Of Philadelphia, at
Front and Union streets. IL was
originally intended 10 play Riverton
the opening game, but Manager Cole
received letter from Jack" Hughes,
manager OF Riverton, stating that he
thought It would be impossible to
bring a first class team here next
Saturday. as his players are inter
ested In a baseball series and had not
got down to any rigid football work.
He said IL was no use TO bring team
down not prepared, and take them
back walloped. Hence he would rath-
er wait until later in the season. In
the meantime several letters had been
received from the Paschall club stat
ing Il had always been anxious to ar
range a Wilmington game. but were
always told they hadn't got In early
enough. Hence their persistence this
year After sending a man to Phila-
delphia 10 investigate. Manager Cole
learned they had a very strong team
and we're leaders of athletics in West
Philadelphia. Final arrangements
were then made TO bring them here
October 10. The team averages 100
pounds and is on the schedule Of some
of the fastest teams of the East.
Besides this attraction a prelimin-
airy game between Chesrook and
Highland will take place, and Tim
O'Toole will run his relay race of
City League teams for the Joseph f.
O'Toole trophy. This should make an
afternoon of good sport for all.

the 25 nautical miles in 40 minutes

after deducting her allowance over

onds. She made her best lap in 6
minutes and 5S seconds. Her average
speed for the entire 25 miles was 3d.
sos nautical miles. or 35.1212 statute
miles an hour. She attained her best
speed in the fourth lap, when she
reached an average of a little better
than the figures for the entire course.
Xqqme, the Vanderslice displace-
ment racer of Camden, won in her
class, but by no means had things her
own way. There were three entries
in this class. Nancy, owned by A. o.

second place, finishing only two min
utes back of Xqqme.
There were nine starters, of which
five finished. Both of the dupont
boats, the Tech. Jr.. and the Techs

gine troubles.

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-A just-before
the battle feeling is beginning TO
percolate through the camp of the
Boston Braves. With the first clash
with the Athletics nov only four
days away, Manager Stallings will
lead his team across the bridge to-
day for a series of four games with
the Dodgers and it may be taken
from Stallings that there will be no
monkey business in dealing with the
guardians of Ebbets Field.
The Athletics will do their final
tuning up In the games with the New
York Yankees starting today. Both
Mack andStallings intend 20 place their
regular line-ups in the field for work
outs and the Braves leader expects
to get out the old lash and whip his
team back into its dizzy pace from
which II slipped somewhat during
the games with the Giants last week.
The Braves will play four games
within. two days and will then have
two-days' rest. This will be taken
in Philadelphia. The only work for
the Braves after tomorrow will be
possibly very light practice at Shibe
Park Thursday. The Dodgers and
the Braves were scheduled for games
Tuesday and Wednesday, but arrange
ments were made to move the Wed
nesday game a notch, thus enabling

possibly arrange for a day" of some
sort. The Athletics will not close
their regular season until Wednes-
day
As the champions are making final
preparations for the big tussle, there
is considerable activity among the
alsO-rans for positions as the wire is
neared. The Cardinals only broke
even with the Cubs IN a double bill
yesterday, and as the season closes
in the west today, the Giants are fair
ly safe in second place. The Cardinals
must win today and the Giants drop
all three of their remaining games
to be dislodged.
In the American League, the
scramble is more involved in spots.
The Tigers closed the season with
the Maps yesterday, winning easily.
This brought them practically to a
tie with Washington, so that the
games played by the Senators this
week will be necessary 20 settle the
claims upon third place. The White
SoX and Browns also closed up for
the year with yesterdays game and
tough handling Of the Yanks by the
Athletics during this week will sink
the New Workers into seventh place
On the other hand, should the Yanks
rise and smite the Athletics they
have a chance of crOwding the
Browns from the leadership Of the
second division.
