His Turn for the Feather.

Two motorists, having almost ruined
aheir tempers-and their tires-in a
vain attempt to find a hotel with a
vacant bed, were at last forced to
make the best of a small inn.
Even then they had to share a bed
which was-and On this the landlord
laid great stresS-a feather bed.
They turned in, and one of the pair
was soon fast asleep; the other was
not. He could not manage to dodge
the bumps and heard hour after hour
strike on the church clock until 3 a
M, when he also struck.
He did this by violently shaking his
snoring friend.

Place for PRAYER.

Probably few youngsters make such
a matter-of-fact business of prayer as
a certain little Chicago laddie, He was
going to bed n night in an upper
room, which was heated in the CID
fashioned way by a s~tovepipe running
through the floor. A caller sat with
the family in the room below, and this
is what 1oated down to the caller IN
the child's clear treble:
"Oh, Billy. come over here by the
stovepipe! It's a bully warm place TO
pray"

Pierre.-With it's entire state ticket
shaped after a period of forty-eight
hours, in which give and take political
movements made Roadway and per-
sonal encounters between the leaders
were narrowly averted, the majority
faction of the Republican party in
South Dakota Monday night completed
it's state ticket and the leaders gave
voice to the sentiment that the wordy
wars had been productive of a fair de-
gree of harmony.
The attitude hat It DOL an NeXplo-
sion to clear the atmosphere and to
bring together the federal and state
states was assumed by many of the
leaders, and the statement that Sena-

offer united strength in the coming

ical milling about the hotels and in

The faction pledges itself to strict
est economy in state government.
While allowing sufficient funds to
make for good government and the
betterment of the educational sys-
tens of the state. Betterment of the
health laws is called for; sanitary
school houses are demanded; preser-
walton of the safety of w~orkingmen in
factories through legislation is called
for; legislation to establish an old
age pension law is favored.
In n section of the resolution it
is stated, I'VE condemn the political
spoils system through which men are
paid for doubtful campaign work in
behalf of successful candidates. a sec
ton aimed at the present administra-
ton. Opposition is expressed to the
plan to call a constitutional cOnven-
ton, a pet project of Gov. Byrne. The
state policy of exposing home indus
tries to dangerous outside competition
is hit. Changes in demonstrating con
ditions are asked.
The final shot at the Byrne admins
tration takes the form Of an attack on
the tax commission. The resolution
terms the commission an imposition,
a useless burden "for no better pur-
pose thar to give the administration
an opportunity to fill still more hungry
partisan mouths"

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
NEWARK, Del, Dec. l9.-Before a
crowd Of several hundred spec .ators,
which included most of the student body
the Delaware College Freshmen defeated
the Sophomores last night in the annual
indoor meet, by the score OF "A to 20. The
meet, however, was close and it was only
by winning the final event, the tug of
war, that the Freshmen captured the
meet. Previous to this event the score
was Is to Ii, in favor of the Sophs. The
tugof-war counted ten points and gave
the Freshmen the laurels.
The Freshmen won one of the wrcs5-
ling bouts won one first and a draw in
the boxing bouts and the tug-of-war
The Sophomores won the high jump,
two of the wrestling bouts, one boxing
bout and got a draw in one boxing bout.
Ono OF the features of the meet was
the running high jump, the first event
contested for. The Sophomorcs were
represented in this event by Marshall
and Smith, while Bratten and Crockett
Jumped for the Freshies Marshall won
the event and established new indoor
record for the local college, as he cleared
the bar at five feet three inches. The
previous indoor running high jump rec
ord was five feet one and onchalf
inches Bratten proved a close contest
ant for the honors, but missed five feet
three inches after making five feet two
and one-half inches.
The second event was the middle
weight wrestling, in which Tom Wilson,
a sophomore, weighing 1862 pounds, met
Bratten, a freshman, whose weight was
1855. For some unknown reason this
bout was put on Immediately after
Bratten got through the running high
Jump event, and he was no doubt well
tagged out from his exertion in that
event before starting to wrestle. Viii
son got two easy falls in 20 and 40 sec
onds.
D. Horsey, a freshman. won the light
weight wrestling bout, throwing Brewer,
a sophomore, in 50 seconds, and the sec
ond fall in slightly less than three min
utes. Horsey weighed 1875 and Brewer
1876.
Tom Wilson added five more points to
the sophs' score when he threw Ernest
Wilson, in the heavyweight wrestling
bout. He got the first two falls, but
had more trouble in getting his name

WANT BASEBALL
IN YORK NEXT YEAR
Agricultural Society Anxious
TO Rent Grounds for
the Club
WILMINGTON ALSO
MAY GET PLACE

YORK. Pa. Dec. 19.-That the Tri-
state league will be composed Of
eight clubs next season is now con-
ceded and it looks as though York
would be on the circuit. No action
has been taken by any person in this
city toward securing a franchise, but
the managers OF the York County
Agricultural society, at a meeting
yesterday, discussed the proposition
and came to the conclusion that a
local club for the grounds here would
be acceptable.
It Is said that there ere many de-
sirable players obtainable who are
willing and anxious 10 play in the
Tri-State under proper conditions.
This, added to the fact that big league
teams will probably become interest
ed in each of the several clubs on
the circuit, should make the PROPOSE
ton an easy one all along the line.
President Graham contends that Op-
portunity is knocking at the door OF
every city that has prospect OF be-
coming identified with the league.
The league will meet in Philadel-
phia next month and at that time 1t
is likely that some action will be
taken relative to the 1915 season. The
league is anxious 10 get York and
Wilmington back in line. Both have
for years been among the best cities
on the Tri-State circuit and conso-
Quently their absence is being felt all
along the line.
The situation in this city is rather
peculiar. The fans here do not de-
mand pennant-wiHning aggregation.
Followers of baseball here are just
as enthusiastic over a club that fin
ishes one, two. three in the seasons
race. as they would be with a cham
pion contingent. York wants base
ball and now that there is a good
chance TO get back on the map, the
enthusiasts here should not allow the
opportunity to pass.

Richie has all the money that he
earned-and the interest accumula-
ton as we'll. Richie invested his
money in gilt-edged real estate and in
bonds and Richie never will be a
poor man, even il he doesn't succeed
in his present ambition, the recovery
of the title from Welsh.
Welsh is making hay while the sun
shines. He is picking up every loose
dollar around these here American
ICED parts and when he leaves it's
likely that he will take back to Eu-
rope with him about $4,000 Of the
dear public's money.
Johnson, who earned more than
twice as much as Richie and about
six times as much as Welsh, is report
ed as broke" No doubt the reports
are true. Johnson can toss away
money about as easily as he used to
toss away opponents. The $4,000
that Johnson earned for the Moran
fiasco never reached his hands.
Creditors i'm Paris attached Il and the
chances are that Johnson never will
get a dollar of IT,
Johnson is press ACCENTED to get
$4,000 for that proposed willard
fight. The chances are that if the
fight ever does come off that Johnson
never will get $4,000. About $780,
600 Of that seems TO be conversational
money and other creditors are quite
likely to jump onto the remaining
$4,000 before Johnson can reach II
for food and refreshment purposes.

beans.
If these stories be true, Connie
Mack cleared $4,000 on the deal
which sent Collins to the White Sox,
for the conditions as reported. Col
Inns was no good TO Mack despite the
fact that he is worth a million dol
lars to any other manager in the
league. 1t is admitted by all base
ball managers that a one-armed.
wooden-legged shortstop is of more
value to a team than a "beefer" and
a leader of an anti-management or
an anti-anything clique.
1t may have been that Collins was
not at fault. 1t really is mighty
hard to believe he was and some
stories are that other heads Organiz-
ed the clique against Collins and two
others. Even so Mack had to get
rid of one of the parties to the rival
ry. He didn't want to sell his whole
team when he could sell Collins and
get just as much-if not more.
