TRAP SHOOTING
BASEBALL
MISS BROWNE IS
A Menace TO The
Tennis CHAMPION

Reports from the coast indicate that
Mss Mola Biursted must look to her
honors as national tennis champion this
year.
In recent matches Miss Biursted was
defeated by both Mrs. May sutton
Bundy and Miss Mary Browne.
Although it was admitted that Alisi
Biusted was handicapped by playing on
asphalt courts and by a high wind. and
was not up to her usual game. still coast
experts remarked that the attack OF
both Miss Bundy and Mss Browne
would have caused the Norwegian Won
der trouble under any circumstances.
Miss Brownies game particularly, IL Is
declared, Is far superior 90 any Of her
former efforts. She drives the ball
harder and her backhaud strokes are su.
perb. She is also much faster on the
courts than formerly and her impetuous
style completely upset Miss Biursted's
play
Whether Mrs. Bundy will enter the
/ national champ nnship events this wear
Is still doubtful. Mrs. hndy has three
children. who take most of her time and
il was remarked that in her recent
matches ON the coast, although she de-
fcatcd both Miss Browne. and eMiss
Biursted. that she was not really in the
best Of condition.

WONDERFUL
How to Be a cartoonist.

First Of all you have TO be born a bum
speller. Then you start in like you read
about cartoonists: "When child he
always had a pencil in his hand and was
everlastingly sketching likenesses ON any
scrap Of paper his fathers cuffs and
collars or the wallpaper"
When in street cars always put
moustaches and boards on the faces of
the ads.
Now for ideas
Memorize these Little Benjamin
stealing jam; that's a good old one.
Don't forget to label the jar Jam and
always label the paint can paint"
Father walking the floor at night in
his bare feet with the infant is another
good one. Don't forget TO sprinkle "a
few tacks on the floor with dad all ready
TO step on EN-
Then the cat on the fence. Remem-
Der to always picture shoe, water
pitcher or bootiack being hurled through
space in the folines direction.

AICH-C OLDEY LIFT
BALL LID TOMORROW

Wilmington High School will open
its baseball season tomorrow after
noon against the GOldey College at
Front and Union streets.
With the return of warmer weather
the large High School squad which
featured the first calls for practice
was again on hand at Front and Union
yesterday afternoon. A practice game
was played but no distinct first and
second squad was picked and /. is
likely that the first team will not be
selected until just before the game
tomorrow.
Several of the younger candidates
have been showing more baseball
knowledge than the older players and
1t is likely that they will be given
first choice. The Highlets look I'M
usually strong in the batting depart
ment
