CLEAN.rP ANn PAINr.rP.

nj EXT week will be Cleanup and Paint-up Week in
Wilmington
It's will be measured by the hoartncss Of the
cooperation given by the public
Without such cooperation the week will be. in a
broad sense, a failure.
With H. II will be gratifying
Those are things that should be borne IN mind by
each house-owner and each tenant
II Is only by each person pulling his pound that the
desired end Of making Wilmington cleaner. brighter
and more heathful than II ever has been before can
be attained.
There are thousands Of premises In Wilmington that
contain filth and rubbish which ought to be carried
away o'the incinerator and the dumps.
There are thousands of buildings that have grown
dngy through lack OF attention and that should have
their attractiveness restored by the use OF paint
Compulsory cleaning-up has its limitations Compul-
paintngup Is out OF the question The great work
10 be done next week be largely OF a volunteer
nature. impelled by personal and civic pride That Is
Why Il is essential that the interest OF all men and
be aroused In the cleanup and p.int-up move

The Delaware State News does

the government was right in this
matter we would say so even ifit were
unpopular. We don't believe our
government can afford TO ignore the
claims the DUPONT Company has on
our people, and we don't believe that
the government will ignore these
claims now that largely through a
magnificent piece of journalistic en-
terprise by The Star of Wilmington
the facts have been laid before the
people.
There IS only one way TO please
some people, and that is. to be as
stupid or a little more stupid than
they are. Now this is often very
difficult. and as the price is as often
almost prohibitive, we would not ad-

not think of trying it ourselves, and
we would rather undertake It than
be responsible for advising anybody
to make such a venture.

THAT WHIPPING POST.

To the Editor OF THE EVENING
JOURNAL
Sir: Twice. lately, YOU have publish
ed articles relating 10 the whipping
post. showing that the public is begin
ming TO awaken TO the horror of IL.
As. before ,hc Civil War, the press
began 10 discuss the horror OF slavery
and ultimately il was abolished, so
must that post 20. Delaware will al
ways be n blot while the stigma Of
that whipping post remains.
Some time ago. at meeting Of
Methodist Episcopal preachers in Grace
Church, they approved the whipping
post. a thing no true Christian could do.
II Is against the law of Christianity and
humanity. Those men may be very
good preachers. but 10 my mind they
are very poor Christians.
In your issue of 20th. you state. In a
story dealing with a debate ON the sub
icct the unmarried men "won OUT n
defending the post. The married men
were advocates for its adjustment be.
cause I'm their breasts was parental
love. and mo- one can tell whether oi
not his child may grow mp, do wrong
and be brought 10 that post.
Recently we've heard lots of talh
about Mexican brutality Can ID beat
our whipping post, We think IL hiel
time for some power to take hold OF
Delaware and teach her humanity and
civilization.
Has the whipping post lcsscned crime
ls there not each year the same NUM-
her punished But. as the right o
franchise l. taken from a man who hai
been whiuuci he stands bette
chance oi being spared the horror thar

The contest to determine the most

every one of the players have had votes
sent in for them. Americas fans are
diyeded over the question as to which
one of the boys does most to win for
the team, and the contest is going to
be close and hot all the way.
Thursday night Just before going 70

already turned in and found that over
100 had already been cast. These
votes are pretty equally divided among
the team and no man has lead on the
field.

holding them to thirteen bingles. Erl
Biting lead the onslaught with three
safeties, one of which was for an ex-
ira base. Grady Bowen, West and Da-
vie CASTOR each got two hits in the
melee.
The Muckalees played fast, snappy
ball and at no time we're the Babies in
their class. One lone error was made
by the home team and that was on
an extra hard chance. West, VINO was
given credit for the misplay, made 4
pretty running catch of grounder
and then threw badly to first.
The Muckalees and the Babies cross
bats twice today. This morning they
play in Cordele, and the afternoon
game will be staged in Americas. Bob
Geary is slated to work in Cordele
against Walden and Pratt will be sent
against Fillengem this afternoon.
A number of fans are planning to
make the trip to Cordele this morning
with the team. Two wins here at home
make them hopeful of two more to-
day.

hammering Hall for thirteen safeties.
But with that Hall managed to strike
out a goodly number of Muckalees.
The run-getting began in the third
when Americas annexed two scores.
With one down West singled through
the infield; Castor doubled, and Bit
ting placed neat bunt down the first
base line that scored West from thi I'd
and landed Erl safe on first. Manager
CASTOR scored on Geary's infeld out.
The other tally Americas made before
she won the game in the ninth was in
the seventh when Pierre hit one that
Rip Reagan fumbled and scored on
hits by Blansit and Biting.
This ended the Muckalees' scoring
until the ninth, when Dave Castor
broke up the game with his double to
center.
Cordele did all of her scoring in the
eighth. Walden lived on the only error
of the game, and scored with Griffin
when Hal hit one that rolled through
the fence for home run. Then Bank
ston connected with one that landed in
the territory sacred to the memory of
Jay Kirke and the visitors had tied
the game. But this ended their run
getting. The Muckalees had their bat
ting clothes on and Hall had time

Pierre made one catch yesterday that
was we'll worth comment when he went
against the grandstand and caught a
foul tip from Burress' bat. Dead Rab-
bit went after the ball with the fans
yelling Cant get it, bo," caught it
right against the grandstand, slipped
on the wet ground and got nasty fall,
but he held on to the old ball and re-
tired the Babies shortstop.

Dave Castor is getting to be pretty
useful with that old stick of him. Hunt
up your old copies of the T.-R. and
you'll find that large majority of the
games this week have been won by
the Muckalee manager and his slap
stick. If you carry your search far
enough, you will discover that with
West on first and CASTOR at the bat, a
pitcher has right to feel shaky in his
shoes.
