LOOKING EN- OVER

The fans as a unit are behind the
Bismarck team and from now on
everyone will be Booster. The new
team looks good-they all handle
themselves like real sure 'nuff ball
players, and it is expected that a first
class article of the national pastime
will be dished up in large quantities
from now on.
Talcott has proven himself some
I'll ole slab artist and great things
are expected of him in the ensuing
weeks.
Peacock is heady little catcher
and his peg to second terrorizes the
base runners. He is in the game
every minute and can hit the pill
hard. Just wait til he spreads his
| feathers.
Heard from the players bench
"All that pitcher threw me was a
staight ball and curve" If anyone
can scrape up information as to any
thing else twirler could heave,- they
will be given rubber medal and sent
to the Mexican border. If said punish
ment is not sufficient, it has been
suggested that they be tied up near
the caitol grounds and left to the
mercy Of the mosquitoes. In addi-
ton it might be added that a reward
of $1,000 dead and fifty cents alive
has been offered for a tip as to the
whereabouts of the offender.
Joe Collins, not Eddie, is a second
Ty Cobb when it comes to pilfering
bases. II Joe was playing on second
instead of in the outer garden he
might possibly be mistaken for the
noted player of the same name.
Frankenhoff is good on the initial
sack and grabs them off from all
angles. Working in the sun, the big
boy COPIED several that, were hop
ped" to him and got away nicely.
Fans will be out with megaph0nes
and horns when the Halliday gang in
vades the Capital City. Verify, twill
be great baseball. I'll say It will, Ed
die.

BY "GIll."

With Talcott twirling in great form
and every player on the local aggre-
cation playing alright ball, the Bis
marck nine last evening shut out
Braddock at the new baseball park
by a to count. The game was
fast throughout and Capital City fans
were delighted with the entertain
ment provided for their approval.
The fans were not only well pleas
ed with the game of last evening, but
We're thrilled by the great baseball
played by the new crew of ball toss
ers who will in the future represent
Bismarck. Every man on the team is
a real ball player and what is more
they can all slam the pill and slam it
hard.
Peacock wore the breast protector
and mask for the locals, and his work
was of frst-class calibre. Collins,
playing in center garden, is another
player who is to be commended. He
is speed demon on the bases and is
an adept student of Ty Cobb in the
art of hitting the dirt" Stanley
grabbed first honors as premier
swatsman and clouted the ball for
three safeties in four trips to the
plate, one being for two bases.
In all Talcott allowed but three
hits and nine Braddock swatters
were victims of his curves. Frank
was in hole in both the fourth and
fifth innings, but settled down, kept
the sphere on the corners and surviv-
ed very nicely.
Rasmussen appeared on the mound
for the visitors and also pitched good
ball. He allowed six hits and famed
seven. Four men got a compliment
airy ticket to the initial sack when he
attempted to knock over the grand
stand. but for the most part he did
very nicely. Zellman was behind the
bat for Braddock and backed up Ras.
munsson in stellar form.
Bismarck Draws First Blood.
Bismarck drew first blood in the
first after Braddock failed to even
get a man on first Collins walked
and Elder was cut on long fly to
center. STANLEY connected for two
bases and Collins made the circuit
for the first tally. Frankenhoff slam
med out 8 single and Stanley beat
the throw in Vivian sacrificed and

HENLOPEN LIGHT BULK HEAD
Erected to Protect Historical Light
House Which is Still Standing

Erected to Protect Historical Light
House Which is Still Standing
A new bulk head has been built to
protect the historic old Henlopen
lighthouse from the attacks of the
ocean which are becoming more and
move alarming every year. Il is
claimed that at that point on the coast
the ocean is more treacherous than at
any other place. The old lighthouse
is 81 feet high and stands on a great
hill of sanu. The sand is continually
shifting and already has completely
covered the tank house connected with
the lighthouse. A small wood 10 the
north of the lighthouse is almost hid
den by a great pile of sand which has
blown up the past two years. Hen
lopen Light is still a very solid old
structure Notwithstanding the inroads
made by the orean. In 1716 the
English Parliament ordered this light
house built on this coast in order to
warn vessels off the dangerous shoals.
The lighthouse was built with a 10
foot foundation several hundred feet
in from the ocean and It now stands |
unchanged except for a modern wind
ing iron staircase and a new S6, 600 |
reflection Of 35. 900 candlepower and
which. on a clear night. may be seen
35 miles at sea. In ell these 200
years since it was built the Henlopen
light has not missed night except
when il was closed by order Of the
British King during the Revolutionary
War. Then IL missed twelve years.
