BOWERS

Large catches Of shad have rewarded
the fisherman at Bowers Beach for theii
labors in preparing for the seasons work
/ The largest catch this week was made by
James Thompson, who seined last Mon
day In the mornings work eightv-one
/ shad as nice as you ever looked at, and
1 siNty-tour of them were roe fish. Since
/ then the catch has been more than salts
/ factory TO the fishermen, and reimburses
/ them well for their outlay in time and
money preparing for the fishing. From
the results so far the fisherman predict
that this will be one of the very success
fully seasons in the shad fishing bust
ness. The shipment of shad to Phila-
delphia via the steamer Frederick will
be large part of her cargo each week,
and the shad caught at Bowers Beach
bring the very top notch prices in that
market
By reason Of the miserable and annoy
ing condition of our public road for a
distance of three miles leading from
Bowers Beach, a delegation of citizens
was moved to 20 to Dover last Tuesday
where they appeared before the Kent
County Levy Court and by personal re-
monstrance presented the true conditions
as TO what the citizens and taxpayers, as
well as travellers. have to contend with
by reason Of the awful road conditions
prevailing The prayers then made and
the dammiug made privately by the
people generally, should cause bring
action on the part of the Road Engineer,
or the Levy Court directly, which will
remedy this public inconvenience and
trouble.

KING GEORGE '
SENDSCABLE To
FREDDIE WELSH
Monarch Answers Message From
Conqueror of Rivers, Proving
Freddie Great Press Agent.
By II. NJ. Walker.

r OS ANGELES, CAL, March 21.--
Freddie Welsh is more than Il
clever boxer; he is the clever
est press agent in these whole United
States of America.
The latest publicity stunt of the
British boxer was to send a neatly
worded cablegram to King George V
of England, who, as we crude folks
understand the situation, is something
of Ban Johnson sort of person over
in the Piccadilly League.
And, what's more, King George
takes his pen in hand and fires back
with an answer The cable proba bly,
cost the King a couple of bucks. It's
worth a thousand or so to Frederick
in the matter of grabbing off column
space to his personal use.
Seated In his training camp less
than an hour after he had jabbed Joe
Rivers into the second division, Welsh
saw in a local paper a news cable to
the effect that George was all puffe1
up with enthusiasm over boxing and
had put the seal of royal approval on
l. the same being considerable boost.
80" explains Freddie Il took a
chance and cabled him, I'm not 60
ing back, anyhow, and / knew he'd
never have the chance to run me off
the dock And, my word, what does
the old boy do but slip me an answer.
Pips"
The little boxers message read as
follows:
His Majesty King George V, Buck
ingham Palace, London:
After defeating Joe Rivers the
Mexican and Californian lightweight
champion boxer. on St Patrick's Day,
Sons of St George, St David, Welsh

Cold Snap Gives Crackers a Rest
Saturdays Game Is Called Off

RUDE Is a bridgebuilder by winter
profession, and he reported in good
shape, except for the slight culinary
shortening mentioned above.
SPEAKING of Rube recalls a strange
- happening in the opening game
with the Maps. We neglected to men,
ton 1t at the proper time hoping that
solution Of the mystery would pre-

the parties concerned, the mystery
still obtains,
This is 1t.
In the second inning, domestic sec
ton, Flanagan led off with a base
on balls, after which Eible famed
and Lynch scratched a single, on
which the Steamer pulled up at sec
ond, Joe Dunn belted a perfectly
good line drive into left center, but
something slipped right there.
Flanagan started up toward third as
if he meant business Then he stop
ped and started back to second as if
he had forgotten something. BY that
time, Memo Llebold had the pill and
Lynch was dancing and shrieking on
second. There was no other port for
the Steamer except third, so he put
in there, while the Maps were too
surprised to do anything about it.
The reason Rube recalls the Incl
dent is because he was coaching at
third, and we have not the least idea
that he turned Flanagan back on any
such wallop as that Of Dunn's, Our
own bunch so far is that some crafty
Nap intielder made a noise at Flan-

the runner on second started for

shot 1t to second and got It there

REPEAL OF PRIMARY LAW.

Senator Barrett of Shawnee, 1t is
said, will propose an amendment to
the state constitution abolishing the
primary law and the suggestion is
meeting with some approval.
That many voters are disgusted with
the working Of the existing law is not
to be questioned but it is scarcely
likely that a majority Of the people are
ready to abandon the primary plan of
nominating
The work before the legislature is
to perfect the primary system, safe
guarding it against the abuses to
which it has been subjected in the
past. In this connection the sugges-
ton Of Harlow's Weekly is pertinent:
"A better method than Senator Bar
rett's would be to reduce the number
OF officers to be nominated, and modl-
fly the system to preferential pri-
mary in their selection. Such a plan
is not reactionary but progressive, and
the difficulties incident to securing its
enactment are much less than those
surrounding the complete abandon
ment of the primary system"
