his two brothers are fighting in the

Four rattan seats on each side OF the mid

twenty-one passengers. The windows are
lowered at each seat.
There are electric lights, push signal
buttons and aver radiators for heating
the car i'm cold weather. The car is to be
operated by the New Jersey Auto Transit
Company, an organization which at pres

is the purpose of the company to run on

even hours and the Penns Grove ferry on
the odd hours OF the day and evening.
-Four cars will be put on the line, accord
ing to the statement OF +. W. Boardman,

EISh Becomes A Bio LS0gIGT
PennS Grove Becomes Famous In
Sporting Circles. Citizen Has
Signed With Chicago Nation
al Ball Team,

Penns Grove has again been brought
into national affairs. Tie war has push
ed the town ainto the notice Of the public,
but now it has been peacefully Nd un-
obstrusively brought there. Ray Fish,
the hitherto locally renowned ball player
has beer signed up with tile Chicago Ma
tional League ball team. This thrust in
TO the lime light came as q very sudden
surprise even to Ray himself.
He has been playing with the Upland
team in the Delaware County League in
Pennsylvania. This League has attracted
considerable local attention in She vicinity
of Philadelphia, because Of the number of
recent stars and old players of the big
legaues that are members of the tetms
"Home rum Baker has held the atBOn-
ton OF the fans on Upland, but lately
they we're becoming impressed by the
way Fish was following in the old stars
footsteps and later taking a lead of his
own.
Upland is leading the league and this
is due TO the batting Of several of the
members among the topmost OF which Is
Elsh. In swatting the ball for home runs
and extra bases he is only surpassed by
Baker which is to be expected. His bat
ting average "a It now stands is .343 and
this is combined with the excellent field
ing average of 1903. These figures 90 a
long way la explaining why Ray is a top
motcher, but tle whole tale is not there.
lie has q total of five home runs and
Baker the renowned king in that business
has six. There are also a large number
of the other kind Of extra base hiA charg-
ed up to Rays batting average. ! num-
Der Of these have come at just the right
time, proving that he can come across
with the pinch Eit or the hit when need
ed. This kind Of work shows up the
worth Of q player better quite csten than
the box average. Several games hare
been put OH tlle winning column due only
to Rays bat, either by bringing in the
runs or by placing himself OH base later
to trOt home with a tally. In addition 30
his hating qualities the fielding average
OF .0O3 speaks for itself. During the entire
season his total number of errors have
been only three. He has moi been slow
OIL the bases after getting there either.
having four stolen bases. This shows up
better when compared with Bakers two
and the number Of games played.
He will play out his contract thru this
season with tile Upland club, which will
soon come to a close. Then he reports to
Chicago for duty. tuesday he had his
tryont aud the final agreement arranged
aud the papers signed. All of this was
unexpected. as last week Ray himself had
no intimation that he would ever don a
big league uniforms, but, like some pipe
dreams, they unexpected come true.
Chicago is one OF the strongest teams in
the National League, striving in close
competition for the pennant. To be-
come q member OF it is some feather in
the cap of the Penns Grove lad. From
now ON every follower OF base ball will
keep an eye on the Chicago team, wishing
and hoping that It's repressntatis will
make good on it ~ he has at Upland.

SEVERAL INJURED BY EXPLOSION

Last Friday, 10th, was an unlucky
day for the DUPONT Company on Carney
Point. In the morning there was an
explosion in a mixing house at Plant
/. Five men were seriously burned
and ten others received minor inJur-
les. Some were in an elevator acct
dent. They were taken on the DUPONT
boat, Henry A. Haber, to Wilmington
to be treated in the Physician and
Surgeons Hospital.
The men injured in the explosion
are: Evitt Yoder, C~oatesville, Pa;
Walter Buzby, Glassboro, N. j.; John
FITZGERALD, 1854 Marion avenue, Phila-
delphia; John Powell, 107 Kaighn ave
nue. Camden, and Frank Singer, 351
East Huston street. New York city.
All are seriously burned about the
head and face.
The man who was injured in an ele-
vator accident and brought over at
the same time was Robert Ludner, of
Sunbury, Pa. His arm was broken.
The men were at work in the mixing
mill of Plant No. 1 when a quantity
of powder was ignited and the men
were burned about the flash. The
flames were Immediately put out by
the other men in the plant and the
damage to the property was SO small
that the plant was in operation by
the time the men reached the hospi-
tai.
The hoodo extended to Plant No.
2. A small carload of powder ex-
ploded in one of the solvent recovery
houses without serious damage, not
withstanding there were other cars
of powder near The cause was re-
ported to be carelessness.
In the evening the hoodo returned
to Plant No. 1 At 8 o'clock in the
evening a still-house o nthe shot gun
powder line iared up so that the blaze
was seen from the middle of Penns
Grove. This building was once before
demolished by a bad explosion which
many believed was caused by an in
cendiary. Since the first accident
other small fires have occurred which
had no serious effect upon the build
ing nor operation. Powder is made
to burn and small fires are not un-
usual.
The same day an explosion sccur-
red in the black powder plant ON the
Brandywine.

to be q substantial and permanent society
