GET BILLS DOPE
MIDDLETOWN PICK UPS
BY "AL."

The Middletown boys certainly i'm
proved their batting averages at the
nxpense of Fisher. of Alpha, Saturday
when they clouted his curves for sew
enteen hits for twenty-one bases and
.wo runs.
And Alpha claims Fisher TO be their
one hest bet. Well. all we can say is
that all other Wilmington pitchers
had better watch out, for the boys
have started busting the pill all over
the lot
The Alpha bunch expected that
Fisher and Culver would have
nitcbers battle. The battle was all
on Fishers side. as it was all he could
do to last the nine innings. II was
the hardest days work that he ever
had.
Umpire Pennington was thinking OF
calling time in the fifth inning when
the locals got seven runs Every man
on the team was out OF wind after
running the bases.
Stack robbed Seggie OF. a hit in the
ffth. when he lcaped into the air ana
pulled down ball that was travelling
for the left field fence.
Charlie Ellison showed the fans
that he is still as fast as he used 10
be when he plfered six sacks. The
speedy centre fielder stole both sec
ond and third three times in success
sion.
Ike Gibbs is regaining his batting
eye and is now whaling the Spalding
to all parts of the lot. I'm Saturday s
fracas he had two doubles, single
and a sacrifice in three trips to the
ball.
Culver didn't have chance to
show what he had After Middletown
had scored sixteen runs Swain took
his place in the box and also pitched
good ball
Seggie again got his bat working in
great style when he helped the team
drive the slants of Fisher all over
the park
In the absence Of Walker. Bill Gal
lagher covered the keystone sack
Bill certainly did put up a grand ex
hibition for his first game in the I'M
field.
Sidney Jones played his usual grea
game at shortstop, scooping up every
thing any place near him and gettn'
two hits.
Bvard Vinyard is the best lead-oi
batsman ever seen around here Gu
OF six trips to the plate he was hi
once. walked once and made two hits
one a double. ...-s
Benny Gibbs surprised the fans b.
coming out Of his lethargy and bonn
harding the pitching OF Fisher TO
three hits Keep it UP, old man, you
average needs it.
That batting practice at the ex
peuse OF Fisher. ought to have III
fellows feeling right when the Penly'
Hall team invades this territory mex
Saturday. Every man will try (
make up for the defeat by Peniyn o
Decoration Day.
Culver and Segelken will be the bal

Is This A Fair Estimate?

Let us consider dispassionately
the average American boy and
try to describe him. l do not
mean, o Reader, your boy. mean
the average boy, as we see him in
the city streets or the country
loads. Am l far wrong in depict
ing him physically as round
S n GU cred, hollow-chested,
stumbling in gait, not overtidy
IN person, not erect in carriage,
not looking yeu straight in the
eye?
In manner is he courteous to
all, respectful to his seniors, care
tul in speech? Does it not strike
you that his ideal of manliness is
rather the tough" than the we'll
bred gentleman?
Is he obedient and tender to
his parents, thoughtful and kind
to the weak and aged, helpful to
his associates?
What are his ambitions? To be-
gin at the foot Of the ladder and
by hard work climb to the top?
Does he hold manual labor in it.
self as ennobling and as alone
giving that knowledge of what a
days work means by which later
he can intelligently direct the en-
ergies of a host of subordinates ?
Newark post. (Newark, Del.) 1910-1969, 1916-06-14

Does he not rather leave the high
school with a contempt for honest
toll, and the fixed purpose of
never soiling his own hands?
Does he not look upon a clerical
position with the wearing of a
black coat and a white shirt as
the best thing life holds for him?

nus, one of those come out of that
ancient past of the thirties, for
ties, or fifties, got up to speak we
held our breath in listening won
DER and as he poured forth his
loyal eulogies of the Alma Mater
Delaware College seemed to have
history not only highly distin-
pushed but indefinitely long
"Old Delaware" did not seem an
anachronism as applied to an in
stltution that had existed for
only four decades through one of
which it had slept a dreamless
sleep. 1t is we'll that we stub
bornly kept the faith through
that day of small things, else we
should not have seen the dawn of
Delaware's larger day.
Bright as commencement morn
ing always seemed to be, l can
not help barking back to the an
nlversary nights of the literary
societies. We of the Delta Phi.
and not less those of the Athen-
aean, felt that our anniversary
night was peculiarly the occasion
of the undergraduates. How
bright those kerosene lamps
shone over our gorgeous decora-
lions, and how they brought out
the sparkle in the eyes of beauty |!
1t was Intoxicating merely to
stand at the Oratory door and see
the girls go in; it was heaven to
be an usher, to hand out the mag
nificently engraved programme of
the evening for which we had
paid more than our slender treas
ury could afford, and to show a
smiling girl to her seat, with hun
dreds looking approval of the GAL
liant act!
There are moments that live
for us permanently because of
something that gives them inef-
faceable distinction, glimpses of
human faces or of lovely natural
objects that are ever after a we'll
spring of delight to be revisited
at will by the aid of obedient
memory. l have in mind now,
after possibly a quarter of cen
fury, a glimpse l caught of the
White Clay Creek hills as l sat
one evening in the twilight of the
Oratory awaiting the exercises of
the Delta Phi anniversary. The
ghost of the dead sunset still de-
liciously empurpled the western
horizon, and bathed as in a celes-
tial atmosphere those lovely hills.
l forgot the entering crowd, for
got the very occasion that had
brought me thither, and sitting
in a tranced silence, let the peace
of the distant scene framed by
the open window slide like a
blessing into my very soul, until
| seemed, as it were, in that fleet
ing moment, to drink again the
Intoxicating draft of boyhood, a
cordial craftily distilled from the
delicious memories of all the
commandments I had known.
May every alumnus at least once
drink deep of that harmless in
toxicant.

4 CHRISTMAS PRAYER
BY REv. RALPH CURTIS JONES.

,1nzS\ UR Father, we are CRATE
g" !" ! 4" ! !: !" !: ::
k&XTk3N full to thee on this
~ MkS&%A Christmas day for all
tSasH%NET the good things in life,
thankful for the lOwly
-s3S birth in Bethlehem, for
all of which we COM
memorate this day. May all Christen-
dom unite in a mighty force to stop
this ungodly European conflict, and
say us the heavenly host sang, peace
on earth, good will toward men," for
we are sad indeed, at the thought of
thy children who today are killing
each other in the terrible war that is
being waged. In pity forgive them.
Oh, Heavenly Father bring them and
their rulers to a full realization of
the sinfulness of war-that those who
have caused it may cry TO thee for
peace. May they get glimpse Of the
cross in its full meaning, and profit
h. the sacrifice made by thy Son for
the worlds redemption.
Our Father, may the world become
Christianized from all other religions
and PHILOSOPHERS, not merely in name,
but in the spirit OF true Christian
| brotherhood Oh Lord, let us all who
fail to appreciate this great gift which
thou gavest to the world be so con-
science-stricken that they will at once
cease from their ingratitude, and ir-
reverence and depart from the error
o. their ways. May they become adj
vncates of the Loving Master, who, as
Tire perfect man, said to all mankind
Except We be converted and become
as little children, we shall not enter
Tie kingdom of heaven"
Dear Father we rejoice with thee
fo- the hearts that Christmas will
make glad. for the little children to
whom Christmas brings so much joy.
Also we pray thee for those bereft of
loved ones on Christmas day to whom
this season brings painful remem-
brance. Console all that mourn the
loss of loved ones. Comfort us, o
Lord, with heavenly vision and pre-
pare us to meet them in the holy
city. Give grace to the dying, cheer
to the sick and lonely, encourage the
unfortunate and disheartened. Take
all bitterness and hatred from our

hearts and plant within us true
brotherhood. Give food to the nun
cry and raiment to the poorly clad.
Help us all to find thee as our Brother
and Friend, our Comforter and Sa-
vior. and the giver of life everlasting.
We ask it all in thy holy name.
AMEN
