of the Southern Rowing Association will
be as much coveted and highly priced as
those of any other association in the
country.
Joseph Manuel. secretary Of the

over the project and believes that 1t
will not only be stimulus to rowing
in this section OF the country, but will
flI long-felt want. Other sections
are localizing and have their own local
regattas, such as the New England Row

Philadelphia, the Southwestern Rowing
Association and the Northwestern Row

son why the Southern States, which have
just as strong clubs and are as active
as any clubs in the country. should not
have its own separate regatta to es-
tablish supremacy in its own locality

JOHNNY EVERS TELLS
OF HIS BEST PLAYS.

New York. Dec. 25.-"BasebaIl sue
cess. or to be more exact, baseball fame
is oftentimes due to making one good
play at critical point in a game in
some big city" This was the state
ment of Johnny Evers. the brainiest
player in the National League. at the
Waldorf yesterday.
I've been pretty lucky in that re-
spect." continued the little Trojan.
I've made most of my best plays in
New York and Chicago. and the base
bal writer's were unstinted in their
praise. often a man will play in a
city and perform unheard-of feats and
his deeds will be passed over. while
another man will not do half as well
and be lionized.
My most famous play. perhaps, was
the one on the Polo Grounds on Sep
tember 23. 1908. 1t resulted in the
Cubs winning the pennant and subse-
quently the world Eeries. That, of
course, was the day when Fred Merkle
did not touch second base That same
play came up in Pittsburgh ten days
previous. and il was passed over by
the baseball writers and the crowd. In
New York II went through. and the
protest we made over that game was
upheld.
1T was an ordinary play. however.
think the best play I ever made was
against Chicago. The Braves were out
there at the tail end of the season.
We We're one run ahead. and with two
out in the ninth the Cubs had three
men on bases. Bob Fisher hit a low

INTERPRETATION OF

Special TO THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, Del. May 6.-The Court in
Banc yesterday handed down a doci-
sion in the case of Mrs Caroline j.
Raymond, executrix of George ii. Ray
mond deceased for the use of Clarence
B. Raymond to recover bond of $4,000
and interest from Mrs. Sarah r. M.
Farrell, terra tenant and adminis-
tratrix of Edward Farrell, deceased.
The decision is a victory for the Ray
mOnds. This case was first heard at
the February term, the question in

Ten-year Lien Law and also an in

The decision, read by Judge BOyce.
is regarded as important because OF
the lien law Interpretation involved.
The case was very technical When
heard before Superior Court, the
judges ordered a verdict for the plain
tiff for $4,000 and interest. After that
it was argued by both sides. with the
consent Of the court TO set aside the
verdict and have the case re-argued
before the entire judiciary in Court
en- Banc, on case stated.
Il was based on a judgment for
$4,000, obtained by George II. Ray
mond, against Edward Farrell. in
June, 1899. for a money debt. Farrell
owned a 360-acre farm in Duck Greek
hundred. Farrell inter-married with
Sarah T. NJ. Farrell, who became his

his DEATH he transferred one farm,
through a third person, for a S. con-
sideration. The farm was worth
$3.50 Farrell, at his death. did not
leave enough personal property to pay
his debts.
"From all the facts in the case stated,
this court is unable TO escape the CON

was a gift, and that Mrs. Farrell was
and is not bona iide purchaser of the
farm within the meaning and contem-
