reopen RIVER
front AGITATION
City Council Will Discuss
the Subject Again on
August 18th
FOOD ORDINANCE
OVER FOR WEEK

Considerable business that has
been pending for some time, was
transacted by City Council sitting as
a committee of the whole last night.
One of the subjects taken up was
the river front proposition which for
long time has been dormant. While
no action was taken upon the actual
matter, Il was decided that the sub
iect should be taken up for careful
consideration on Wednesday night,
August II, when all the time neces-
sary can be given to it, Beyond this
the subject was not discussed. 1t is
understood that the present status Of
the river front project is about the
same as it was before the agitation,
more than year ago
The request of the Wilmington
Building Commission that the city
participate in the cornerstone laying
OF the new city and county building,
in October, which had been referred
to the committee of the whole, was
considered, but in view OF the fact
that Council has already given it's
approval to the proposed celebra-
ton and has named a special COM
nIittee to cooperate with that move
ment, the request was referred to
that special committee Councilman
McDermott's suggestion that. the city
establish q semi-monthiy pay day. in
stead of paying every thirty days
was also considered, and the law
committee was authorized to consult
City Solicitor Hastings and ascertain
If an ordinance authorizing such a
change would be legal Councilman
McDermott's suggestion that the city
employees should not have to wait
an entire month for their salary has
met with approval. and the change
will be made as soon as possible, if
1t can be done legally.
The Councilmen were prepared last
night TO give final consideration to
the pure food ordinance and pass it
at their regular meeting tonight. but
II was learned that the Milk Dealers
Association and others interested
want to have another hearing on the
subject so action was deferred for
one week and next Wednesday night
vas set aside as the time for hear
ing all who may desire to speak on
the ordinance. An invitation is is
sued to all interested persons to be
present and state their views.

Jean Dubuc of Detroit.

worked in 80 games for Detroit and
had 16 putouts, 107 assists and six
errors. Dubuc had more chances per
game than any pitcher in the major
leagues and the two Frenchmen COW
er more ground than any other hurl-
ers.
1t is possible the peculiar delivery
of each man has something to do
with the fielding. Cicotte throws
knuckle ball and splitter, while Du-
buc places much dependence on a
slow ball. 1t is difficult for batters
to meet balls that are pitched squarely
on the ends of their clubs and, failing
to do this, the chances are they will
knock rolling grounders to the in
fielders.
Dubuc, like Cicotte, uses his Pc
culiar form of delivery in the pitches.
Cicotte seldom resorts to splitter or
a knuckle ball when there are no
strikes on the batter, but often when
the count is two to one against the
man at the plate Cicotte will float
across the knuckle ball while Dubue
will cross" the batter with a slow
one. Or, if thinking the opposing
player is waiting for slow one, Du.
buc will ship fast pitch across either
corner.
Frank Baker, the famous home
run hitter of the Athletics, has never
had much success against Dubuc or
Cicotte. These pitchers work to out,
guess Baker, and instead of slipping
fast one over and trusting to the
fielders, Dubuc and Cicotte come
through with slow balls and curves.
Neither takes chances on having the
slugger hammer a fast one, and if
other pitchers in the American cir.
cult would follow suit Bakers en-
ployers would have fewer broken win.
dows to pay for.
Dubuc and Cicotte claim that field.
ing came natural to them. While
they worked to perfection, there nev.
er was time when they could not
be depended upon to take care OF
their position and to cover first or
back up plays when the situation de.
handed.

MOVE TO ORGANIZE A HOME
Owners of Minneapolis Baseball Club
Favor Institution for Benefit
of Needy Players.

Headed by Mike and Joe Cantillon,
owners of the Minneapolis baseball
club, players there have started a
move to organize a national home for
needy professional baseball players.
The Cantillons offer to donate $1,000
in cash as a starter. The plan is to
assess each professional baseball
player five dollars year, and as there
are 1000 men playing professional
ball in America this would aggregate
$4,000 annually. To become a mem
Der of the home player must serve
one year as professional under con-
tract, and must contribute the amount
agreed upon.
The home not only would be open
to the player, but also to his wife and
children. All players will be placed
upon their honor to not accept the
hospitality of the home until in need
of assistance.

FOSTER SHOULD PROVE STAR
Brilliant Work Of Washington Third
Baseman Makes Him Stand Out
as Great Player.

After the season CT 1912 Ban John
son gave it as his opinion that Eddie
Foster of the Washington team proved
himself the find of the season. The
brilliant work of the third baseman
that year made him stand out among
the men of the organization who play
q similar position.
Last year Foster was down with ty-
phoid few weeks after the season
opened, and he was out of the game
for about two months. While his work
when he returned to the lineup was
remarkably good, under the circum-
stances, it was far from up to his
standard.
A winters rest, however, seems to
have done wonders, and, judged on
his showing so far this season, Foster
is not only sure to equal the perform
ance of 1912, but is almost certain
to do even better work, says Ed Grill
10, a prominent Washington scribe.
He has not only recovered his health.
but he has never been in better con-
dition than he is right now, and when
such conditions prevail in Fosters
case he is one of the most valuable
ball players that the Washington club
has.
Though Foster has had several
years experience In professional base
ball, he is still a mere boy, and is

Railroad Not Responsible.

The supreme judicial court of Massa-

seated in a moving train was injured
by some object crashing through the
window striking her on the arm. the
rule res ipsa loquitur did not apply and
a case of negligence was not made out
against the railroad company. 1t ap-
peared that later a baggage master
found a stone under the seats on the
opposite side Of the car from which
the plaintiff sat 1t was about the
size of a hens egg and correspondent
with the hole in the window and was

that two days after the accident she
noticed black oil mark on the outside
of her coat where she had been struck.

OLD STYLES BEING REVIVED
Horsehair Furniture, Wax Flowers and
Other Monstrosities of the Vic
toriaJl Era Coming Back.

A sigh of relief went up a quarter of
a century ago when the ugly furniture
and ornaments of the early and mid
Victorian era went out of fashion, and
horsehair-covered furniture was re-
placed by better designs and comfort
able leather and stuff coverings, and
people began to look around them for
less hideous decorations for their
rooms.
Nowadays, however, Victorian things
seem to be returning to favor in Eng
land, and most of the small dealers in
antiques are stocking them to a large
extent.
The early Victorian drawingroom
chairs, inlaid with mother of pearl and
having gilt designs, are fetching high
prices, and the mahogany and walnut
work tables which the present genera
ton remembers their grandmothers
using, are given place OF honor in
the window.
Baskets of wax flowers and fruit
under glass and white stone figures
and vases are also in demand, and,
without their glass covers, find place
in the collectors cabinet. The copper
breakfast service and hot-water ket-
ties are much sought after.
The hideous early Victorian mahog-
any and horsehair furniture also has
returned. 1t disappeared because the
mahogany was used for making the
popular reproductions of Chippendale
and Sheraton chairs.
Engravings after Landseer and Firth
are again given a place on the wall,
and the engravings of women to be
found in the many books of beauty
published so years ago are being used
for decoration.

Maneuvers ON a large scale and the

the purchase of two more, do not pre-
sage the continuance of European
peace. Greece also is planning similar
maneuvers in the Epirus.

Of the severe regime prevailing there.
In Thrace the Turks are equal masters

to the proximity of the Turkish second

hands of the Turks
My conclusion after visiting Adria-

the threatening clouds that hover over
the Balkans on nearly all sides, is that
if 1914 is bloodless year it will be
