THE third ticket in Delaware has
been nominated and will be present
ed to the people for their decision at
the November elections. This has
been the result of a deep-seated be-
lief on the part Of many Republicans,
that it is not wise to renominate Sen
ator DUPONT because of his age, and
that the Republican Party has been
submitted to indignities at the hands
of those who should have been Jealous
guardians of its honor. This applies
to the primary elections held in Will
mington and in Kent County princi-
pally. For two years the policy of
"fOOling" men was worked to the ad-
vantage of those who have been ben

AS each succeeding general cleo
tion comes around, there appears to
be an increase in the cases of crime
among the criminal classes of the ne
gro and white races in Delaware.
These crimes take the form of shoot
ing at negro gatherings, where the
negroes are involved, and at gambling
and drinking joints where the white
criminals are concerned. We have
often wondered if this is not the re-
suit of the political workers efforts to
get the lower classes to line up for
their various leaders. The importun-
ing, the cajoling and the coddling of
that class creates the impression that
their political importance is such that
1he leaders will screen them from
punishment, and it applies to both and
all parties alike. The case is espe-
cially bad when the local Justice or
Alderman is partisan, and for that
reason imposes small fines, or per-
mits the culprits to escape on tech
nicalities. Just let 1t be known that
the law must and shall be respected, !
and that those who offend, will get
the fines and Imprisonment which the
law provides, in all cases where dis |
order occurs, and there will be less
to make trouble, either
with rum, pistol OF disorderly con-
duct

Speaker Champ Clark admitted that
''the South is in the saddle" and de-

Doubleheader Season Over for
Several Weeks; Punch Is
Returning

With doubls.headers out OF the
way for at least a month. the Tigers
this afternoon will settle down to a
onea-day grind which they hope
will sweep them into the first divi-
slon by the middle Of June. Since
they opened up at home Saturday
afternoon. they have played half a
dozen games, ana won four Of them.
This is such an improvement over
the play OF the previous three weeks
that loud cheers are In order. The
pitching has been good with the ex-
ception Of one game. when the club
was as bad rs the twirling. The
team Is stu erratic. but the punch
which II has seemingly revived IL
very encouraging.
The Sox are here for two more
games. one OF which will be played
this afternoon. Either Cunningham
or Dauss will pitch. and probably II
will be the latter. as he seemed In
good form In his little dash yester-
day, and is ready. There Is no tell.
ing who Will play right field. that
depending upon the condition of
Harper's ankle. The little fellow
made big hit yesterday. Probably
Kavanagh will be out there. for
George was painfully injured when
he slid home yesterday afternoon.
Hamilton made his debut in the
morning game yesterday. and while
he wavered in the final innings. he
cannot be censured for losing. His
club got only three hits during the
nine innings. although they had their
choice OF Landing on any one of
Messrs. Williams. Russell and Scott.
Evidently they weren't thoroughly
awake when they reached the park.
Some 1900 fans got Just what
they wanted Tuesday afternoon. The
game was wild and woody. IL very
ragged. There was lots OF hitting
and scoring. and the tide OF battle
slid TO and fro with great frequency,
The Anal thrill came in the ninth,
wher the Sox grabbed a three-run
lead. knocking Coveleskie out Of the
box wolfgang and Russell both
had been knocked from the box, and
Faber had been discarded for a
pinch hitter, who came through for
the second time OF the day.
This guys name is Lynn, and he
very nearly won both games for his
club. He did win one with timely
clout in the morning.
Jim Scott was on the mound when
the Tigers came to bat In the ninth.
Fourier muffed perfect throw on
Bush to start the inning. Witt fan
ned, but Cobb singled. veach drew
pass. So did Kavanagh, who had
replaced Harper. That forced in
Bush. and Burns drove the other
two runs needed with a single
through third.
The tenth was a perfectly played
inning. Scott singled. but was
mangled in as pretty a double play
as Young and Burns ever co-operat
ed in staging. the former being the
hero OF wonderful work Weaver
popped to Witt for the third out
Dauss walked. Bush sacrificed neat
ly, and Witt doubled down third. II
