new Castle Wants ONE
CAME FROM MIDDLETOWN

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEW CASTLE, Del, Sept. 27.-On
Saturday afternoon. the local baseball
team will go to Middletown to get
revenge for the go defeat handed
them by the down-state bunch last
Saturday. The locals will be made up
Of the same club that won the 1915
pennant in the old Del-Mar League.
Cobb and West will be the battery of
Manager McDevitt, while Finn and
Segelken will be the most likely bat
terry for Middletown.
Finn defeated the locals on Satur-
day and in so doing. entered the hall
of fame by pitching a no-hit, no-run
game. 1t was no disgrace to lose. in
view of the fact that Lefty never
pitched a grander game in all his life.
Try as they would, the boys could not
get healthy crack at the little south
paws offerings, only knocking two
balls TO the outfield. Never before
has the local nine batted against the
pitching that they saw Saturday. Finn
could put the ball one-eighth of an
inch from any place he wished to put
1t, and his curves and spit balls were
breaking wonderfully. No club in
Delaware could have made better
showing against such pitching. The
local boys. all having regulations as
sluggers and fast players. went to
Middletown to knock Finn, the much
touted southpaw, from the mound
But they received the surprise OF
their lives, as Lefty is even much
faster than he is cracked up to be.
He is a wonder.
On this Saturday, however. the
local boys expect a victory, no matter
who pitches. II is certain that the
game will be some battle, as each
club is battling for the Independent
championship of Delaware. It is GER
tainly worth ten years of any mans
life to see one of the games, as the
local club and the Middletown club
are the two fastest in the State. Finn
and West, the two old rivals. will op.
pose one another on the mound.

has been the usual amount of hazing
among the lower classmen since col
lege opened last Thursday
On Monday night the two classes

taken as a whole in good spirit and
no one was injured except one sophO-
more who fractured a rib by a fall
Early that evening a large crowd of
sophomores caught seven or eight
freshmen. separated from their class
men and had considerable fun with
the first-year boys before some OF
their comrades arrived to assist them
These freshmen we're caught and
their hands tied. They we're then
made TO walk the lock-step up Main

When the sophomores got the
small contingent OF freshmen to the
top Of the hill, they made them sing,

the meantime some OF the upper

OH Iutcudf 'NthiAE Va hNNN "N~Hf
Anothr subject discussed last night
was that of having a display OF old
and young pens. Heretofore old birds
have carried OFF the honors at local
shows over the pens OF young chick
ems. owing to their plumage being in
better shape and color This years
exhibit will embrace pens Of old and
young birds. which means that more
prizes will be awarded and there will
be more display pens entered. In the
Barred Rock classes the pens will in
clude pullet and cockerel matings.
Judging from the inquiries being
received by the show secretary II was
stated at the meeting that this years
show will be a banner event. Phila-
delphia. which usually holds large
show. will not have an exhibition this
year. and il is expected that many OF
the exhibitors will show here.
The monthly meeting Of the asso-
citation will be held next Tuesday
evening at the offices OF the state
Fair Association. when a number OF
fanciers will be admitted to member
ship and other details for the show

LETTER COMMENCING

Letters complimenting the board of
supervisors for good work which they
have done Is an unusual occurrence
but one was really received Thursday
evening from the school teacher at
Waikane and is as follows:
The carpenters did good work here
this summer. The school house. Of
course, is very old and worm eaten in
places, but / guess it is good for two
years more. New yeranda floors were
made and two very good .yentilators
were made in the walls of the manka
room and the~ sliding doors are q JOY
forever. They have always worked
hard before, now they run like silk. Il
Is surely up to us now to vote for the
carpenters and the present manage
ment
Yours truly,

PROVIDES
MONEY Topaz
FOR ATTORNEY

IA the meeting of the board OF SUI

day night Supervisor Hatch rose anu
moved that Supervisor Ben Hollinger
be authorized TO engage an attorney
to defend the board in the Injunction
proceedings in which they were serv-.
ed Thursday in connection with the
building of a school bungalow with
money appropriated out OF the Cen
trail Grammar school fund. As the
city attorney filed the Injunction that
office is unable to appear for the.
board
The vote was taken and although
the motion carried, when Horners
name was called he voted no" de-
claring that he believed the injunc-
ton was rightly brought
Arnold Immediately jumped to his
feet and said that he did not believe
that mere technicalities should stand
il the way of public improvements
and be was planning to bring in more
petitions for further school work.
Arnold also made motion to have
$3.50 appropriated for the defense Of
the Injunction, which motion carried,
Horner again voting no.
Hollinger then became sarcastic,
pointing out that If the city attorney
wished to save money 1t seemed to
him that II would cost the people far
mere In taking the case to court than
in permitting the school building.
which is badly needed.
The enc really amusing incident OF
the discussion of the Injunction pro
ceedings was when Arnold said that
8. Kauhane, chairman of the HilO
board of supervisors. told him that
they had been reappropriating money
all the time In Hawaii and nothing
had been done to prevent 1t.
Homer Immediately answered back
Yes, but tell the board the rest, that
they had done it but knew it was il

SUPERVISORS MAKE
DEDUCTION FROM BILL
FOR STONE FOR ROADS

Reeauset the rock crushing plant Of
John H. Wilson broke down during
August and he could not deliver the
stone contracted for to the city and
thus the city was forced to call on
the Honolulu Draying & Construction
Company for the material. and the
.latter's bill was higher than the con-
tract price. the board of supervisors
Thursday night voted to deduct the
excess from the September bill and
referred the matter to the city engin-
GERS office to have its ruling carried
out. The contract price Is $703.62,
and the excess is $165.16.
