OLD TIME HOME
(Continued from Page One)

Besides Mrs. Graham and the roomer, Mrs. Grahams two married daughters and their families lived in the house. A grandchild of Mrs. Graham playing in the yard was the first to notice the flames which at that time were bursting from the rear of the building, apparently hay ing started somewhere on the second floor. He raised a cry and minute later the entire structure seemed to break into flames. Neighbors and those passing by rushed into the front of the house and managed to save a few articles of furniture but for the most part the contents of the house were destroyed Mrs Graham said she carried S2,900 in surance upon the house but that this was a great deal less than her loss would probably amount to.
 The house was erected more than twenty years ago by L. J. Rice, and was at that time considered. one of

clever first baseman; Jack Shepperd,
the well-known second baseman, and
Mat Donohue, pitcher, will also be on
the team. Bill Worth also will help out
with the pitching. II is also understood
that Eddie will have Charles Schlor and
Patterson to help the pitchers. w. Col
Inns, Glynn and J. Cole will take care of
the other inield positions. Eddie has
secured John Cole to play third base.
The outfeld will be taken care of by
Ray, O'Neill, Lynch, Burris, Scheu, Ri
ley and Began.
No doubt the team will be the fastest
one Eddie has ever managed. The team
met in THE EVENING JOURNAL Office

ness. They will have new uniforms this

DENERI TAKES
THREE in ROW
FROM LOCALS

De Neri made it three straight from
Brownson last night, when the protes-
sionals took the long end of a q to II
score in Brownson Hall. The locals play
ed gamely all the way, but were not
quite equal to their more experienced
opponents.
During the early part of the game the
play was marked by roughness. On the
first toss up Newman fouled in an TIN
sportsmanlike manner and was at once
disqualified. The rough play continued
throughout the game, although the
Brownson fans persuaded Maxwell to
allow Newman TO re-enter the contest.
Because of Burke not being able to
play. NJ. McDonough was placed at for
ward and performed in fine style. In Nc
Donough's position, Rigney played the
best game of his career. being all over
the floor and playing am all-round game.
Haney was n spectacular performer at
forward. The guards were taken care
of by Walsh and c. McDonough in al
most perfect style.
As the game progressed BrownsOn put
up one of the best games she has played
this season. Their passing was excep-
tionally fine in the first half The foul
shooting of Burke was greatly missed by
the local boys and probably caused the
downfall Of Brownson.
Fogarty was back at his regular berth
at forward, and played a star game ON
the floor, but failed TO register field
goal. Dark also played nice game at
forward. Newman and Brady took care
of the defense stations in fine form
Brady, at center, was the Eastern
Leaguers' star performer, playing a good
game in all respects

The National League may be ex-

eral quilt-work before the fight pro-
crosses far. The scrap put up by
the Phillies last season is not In
prospect at the present time owing
to the cuffs and jerks given Charlie
DooiH's outfit by the Federals. 1t is
not likely, however, that a pennant-
contending organization will be left
stuck fast on the rocks while less un-
fortunate ones pass the crisis by a

expected.

loose to some extent. Within another

considered the best team i'm Della

CHICKS SELL
STOCK TO GET
MORE MONEY
Manager Jackson Hits Upon
New Idea to Boost the
Organization

Jimmy jackson wants II made
plain that he is not begging money
for the Wilmington Tri-State baseball
team, but has a straight out busin4 SIS
proposition to offer For every $40
that is subscribed TO the team the
management intends to issue SO
worth of stock in the baseball COM
pany. Every person who contributes
to the team will receive stock in re-
turn. 70 is not a charitable request
that jackson is making. Every cit
izen of Wilmington is given the Op-
portunity 10 subscribe to the stock of
the team, and he can truthfully say
when he witnesses the games that he
is watching his own team play.
The business proposition offered Is
tar from the worst in the world. The
Tri-State League Is better and
stronger than ever before. With
George NJ. Graham, an experienced
baseball man, at its head, a new era
is promised and every manager feels
that the prospects Of their team pay
ing a dividend this year are much
brighter than they have ever known.
The Atlantic City team which prov
ID TO be not only a losing proposition
10 its owners, but TO the other teams
in the league as we'll, has been trans
gerred TO Reading. an exceptionally
good baseball town, and this change
alone will make a great difference In
the total attendance of the games Of
he league. Three-fourths of the cit
liens of Reading are baseball fans,
and they 90 to the games.
This IS the first time the Whining
ton Club has asked assistance from
the city. Heretofore the management
has always been ready 20 reach down
IN its pockets for any amount. Other
teams in the league have always ask
I'd for assistance and gotten IT, Jack
son thinks that the management is
entitled to help. and sees no reason
why they should not get IL, as the
proposition offered by them is solely
q business one.
jackson saw several prominent
business men yesterday afternoon,
and has a number of engagements
for this afternoon. Everywhere the
little manager has been he has re-
ceived fair treatment. and he thinks
the majority of business men of the
city look upon his proposition ia
vcrably.
