The equipment was somewhat
limited. consisting Of two catchers'
mitts. two other gloves, a catchers
mask. and one bat. II was the last
item which caused more concern 10
the players than the proximity Of
bursting shells. for there was no
knowing what fate right attend the

Interruptions during the game
were frequent, the players insisting
on calling every ones attention 20 a
bursting shell or particularly accur-
ate shooting at German aeroplanes

time "a long foul was hit into the
barbed wire over by left field. and
the ball was only recovered at the
expense OF part Of the garments Of a
fielder who was sent in search and
gave detailed report OF the Diff
cultles of advancing through wire
entanglements
The interruption, however. which
most demoralized the field was
caused in the third inning. when
some one shouted that one OF the
many German aeroplanes which had
been sailing overhead had been hit.
Time was called and general atten-
ton centered on the doomed ma
chine. which was seen to be turning
over and over in the sunshine as il
descended 20 earth
At the end Of the seventh inning
the game was suddenly called owing
20 the fact that all the Norton team
were summoned 20 go on a special
trip into the sector Of the front ad-
joining their own. The team had
come on the field in true college
fashion. crowded into a Rolls Royce
ambulance. singing American songs.
Thirty seconds after the special call
had come the Norton ambulance had
disappeared and the other ambu-
lances of the American section were
. * at their permanent post near
the chateau.
Victory lay with the Norton team,
which had scored Il runs with eight
hits, against six runs with five hits.

THOMAS r. WILSON, JR.

With no hopes of final recovery and
no apparent change in his condition for
several DAYS, Thomas r. Wilson, Jr., the
Delaware College student who had his
neck broken during a wrestling bout
with fellow student last Tuesday
night. is still conscious and cheerful. He
is able to recognize and talk to his par.
ents, who have remained with him since
he was taken to the Delaware Hospital
last Wednesday. The consultation
which DR.. John G.. Da Costa, the noted
specialist held with the local physicians
on Saturday afternoon. confirmed the
diagnosis that had previously been made
by DR.. Charles II Frazier, of Philadel-
phia, and Dr. Harold l.. Springer. of
this city. The effect of this is that two
of the most noted specialists in the
country, as we'll as local physicians,
agree that the unfortunate young mans
neck is broken and that no hopes can be
entertained for his recovery.
The case continues to attract wide
attention. Hundreds of letters of sym
pathy are being received by the fam
lily from Delaware. Maryland. Penn
sylvania and New Jersey. The writer's
of these letters are personally ac.
quainted with to student and they all
speak In the highest terms of him.
This is especially true of letters be-
ing received from fellow students and
members of the Delaware College
faculty.

have been maintaining Germany IS trade
relations with South America and were
in position to do so only because they
domiciled in u neutral country.
With the boycott in force il is claim
ed that practically the only competition
against American business would be re-
moved and that the business outlook for
those banks which recently have estab-
lished branches in South America and
are now training many employees in
New York for that field, would be ma
terially frightened.
In discussing the blacylist with the
bankers, the British officials pointed
out that there would be practically no
diminution in American trade, but only
a transfer of the business of foreign
firms from the boycotted houses to 9TH
ers not under ban. On the other hand
they said, the necessity of British
firms being relieved of the uncertain
character of the American connections,
required the publication of the black
list.
This situation may result in strong
pressure being brought to bear ON the
government by the powerful financial
interests which will Benefit by the
blacklist to prevent drastic action
against England being taken.
