HAVE WON 2 GAMES
The Local Ball Team is Defeating
All Corners
FINN PITCHED ONE HIT GAME

The ball game played on the local
diamond last Saturday afternoon be-
tween the strong Silverbrook club of
Wilmington and the home team was
one of the best exhibitions of base ball
witnessed here this season. Indeed the
game was just as the score would indi-
cate-very uncertain until the last bats
man was retired in the ninth inning.
Both Finn and Wise did themselves
credit by their fine pitching, but Finn
surpassed his opponent in tight places,
and only allowed the visitors five scat
TERED hits. Segelken caught a fault
less game, and his throwing wing was
at its best. In fact all of the local
players gave Finn excellent support,
and many of the ten safe hits they Sc
cured came at time when they count
ed for runs.
The score follows:

MIDDLETOWN

Manager Stevens has arranged a ser
les of three games with that strong ag-
gregation of ball players who reside on
the banks of the APPOINTMENTS. On
Wednesday the first game was played
on the Middletown grounds, and while
the locals won out by the score of to
0, the Odessa boys fought hard through
out the contest. The principle cause
of their downfall was due to the mas
terly pitching of Finn, who allowed
them but one hit during the nine in
nings.
The visitors had secured the services
of Jones from the Parkslde team of
Wilmington, and while the local bats
men touched him for ten hits they were
well scattered
Ellison. Jones and l. Gibbs played
fine ball for the home team-in fact all
of the boys were at their best, and
handled everything that came their
way in true professional style.

REFORM MARRIAGE LAWS

An elopement of young man and a
mere slip of girl from Dover to Mary
land, where they were married, last
week, followed by the arrest and tenn
porary detention of the man on a charge
of abduction, should arouse the Mary
land people to the necessity of radical
amendment of the States far too liberal
laws for the regulation of marriages
Also, it should strike at the conscience
of Maryland ministers, and lead them to
the adoption of measures which will
prohibit, through shame, if nothing else
ministers from performing the marriage
ceremony in such cases.
The girl bride of the Dover elopement
was less than 15 years of age, and it is
amazing that any minister of the gospel
should be willing to unite a mere girl in
matrimony. A minister who is willing
to perform the marriage ceremony
where the bride is girl and not wo-
man, is not to be set down as an honor
to his profession.
In Maryland at this time, marrying is
a lucrative business, as many couples
flock there to get married in haste"
the easy laws placing no obstacle in the
way. This condition prevailed in Della
ware for too long time, and finally
became public disgrace, when the leg
lslature inaugurated reform by stern
amendment of the laws. Such a reform
is now needed in Maryland, and it is
hoped the next legislature of that State
which will assemble in Annapolis early
in January will aply the remedy. -Erery

BUY THE BEST BINDER TwINE
Always Best to Purchase Standard
Quality - Loss From Breakage
Ought to Be Avoided.

Buy what binder twine will be
needed for the wheat crop early, so
as to get a good article. II is always
best to buy of standard quality-that
will not kink and knot up. A poor
quality Of Irvine will give no end OF
trouble In harvesting heavy grain.
The loss of time caused by breakage
during harvest will more than pay
for all the best twine needed in har-
vesting the crop.
Ropes for the hay fork and for
hauling the hay cocks to barrack or
flick, should be of the best quality
and fthe full length. A new rope,
particularly if it be sisal, often
causes trouble because of its stiffness
II used as hay fork rope or to place
where it runs through set of pull
leys, it is apt to tangle up until 1t has
been used for some time.
This trouble may be avoided by
boiling the rope in water. Coil the
rope in a large soap boiler and cover
with water and bring it to boil. The
rope is then to be taken out and
stretched out and allowed to dry,
when it will be found to be soft and
pliable.

Rabies Not Limited to Any Season.

ever, is that anyone bitten by dog

of the season Of the year. should re-
ceive proper attention.
The suspected dog should be kept
under observation for at least two
weeks. If it remains we'll. rabies Is

the head should be examined by the
Pasteur Department of the State
Board OF Health. and the individuals
bitten should report at the depart
ment for treatment.
Rabies is usually fatal to dogs in
from three to five days after the first
symptoms are observed. individuals
bitten by rabid dogs, unless under
treatment, become sick in from nve
to nine weeks. The popular BELIEF
that individuals may develop symp-
toms several months or years later
is as false as the belief that Dog Days
cause mad dogs.
