BREEZES FOR The CITY

Wilmington was swept by several
heavy transforms late yesterday after
noon. About 4 o'clock storm swept
from the southwest and it heralded
its approach by high wind that for
few minutes had the streets filled
with dust clouds. Then the rain came
in torrents. The thermometer regis
tered a drop of sixteen degrees after
the first storm yesterday afternoon.
According to the weather machine in
the Street and Sewer Department the
rain was falling at the rate OF IL
inches an hour during the first two
or three minutes of the storm. The
total rainfall of the first storm meas
ured 3S-100 of an inch.
A second storm came close upon the
first and was even more severe. The
rain fell so fast that il appeared to
form a solid wall that made IL next
TO impossible to see a block away.
The high wind carried il along in
clouds that swept the streets and
drove everyone to places of shelter
Later in the evening there was a third
rainfall, but less severe and of shorter
duration. Last evening the tempera-
ture was moderate. but the humidity
was high. which made IL decidedly
disagreeable

yelous and Consistent playing OF the
peerless Ty Cobb is responsible for
the Tigers position in the American
League pennant gallop this summer.
The Georgia Peach Is experiencing
his best year in the W. k. pastime
and judging by his poorest seasons
records by the barrel full are destin.
ed TO fall in 1915.
The Tiger clan Is infected with the
pennant Ng. Every member OF the
team is already figuring on what he
is going TO do with his share Of the
worlds series money They don't
concede any other team in the John
son loop a chance TO cop.
Cobb's great playing is the main
cause. The marvellous Tyrus. has the
pennant bug worse than any of his
teammates and they have become in
fected with his enthusiasm. Ty is
warily avoiding battles on and off
the field that might keep him out OF
the lineup even a day. He knows as
we'll as anyone that his strength Of
fensively wins many games for the De-
troit crew and he doesn't want 10

Ty has won several games single
handed this year. Against the Yanks

3 TO 0. Cobb scored two runs himself
and drove In tho other one. Incident

Cobb is leading the league. both al

announced this spring that ne was
out TO take the base-stealing honors
from Cobb. The latter evidently heard
the statement. IL looks like he is
out to show the Yankee youngster up
as boaster.
Jennings has about as classy a
pitching staif this year as anyone in
the circuit. AT least his slab artists
are in better shape than those OF
any other club with the possible ex-
ception OF the White Sox. Monsieur
Jean Duhuc, a sharpshooter named
Boland and George Dauss are doing
most of the heavy work. Dsuss and
Dubuc have been with the Tigers
sometime but Boland is a recent ac-
QUESTION.
Cobb doesn't furnish all the heavy
artillery for the club, even though
he does lead the league. His pals In
the outer gardens-Veach and Craw-
ford-are both slamming the ball in
the select three hundred class.
Diminutive DOME Bush, who ha5
been shortstopping for the Tigers for
years. has been full of that old
life" all spring and is playing with
the pepper Of a youngster. Burns.
jennings regular FIRST sacker. was
injured early in the season. but. Kav-
anaugh has been filling his shoes so
successfully that his absence hasn't
been noticed much. Pep Young, a for

HORSEMEN TO Gather

Club Night" will be observed by
the Delaware Horse Show Associa-

Wawaset Driving Park. Judging from
present indications the affair will be
attended by most of the prominent
horsemen of this city and State.
Club Night" which is distinctly a
new feature for the Horse Show AS
sociation, was planed by the Of
ficers, following the banquet given
on horse parade day last month. The
interest taken at that time by own
ers of horses showed that much could
be accomplished by holding social
functions in connection with the reg
