MIDDLETOWN school,
ALSO TO have fast team

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
MIDDLETOWN, Del, March 3d.
The Middletown Grammar School bas-
ketball team got under way yesterday
afternoon, when about twenty candi-
dates answered the first call OF Cap
tain Rogers Fouracre. II is believed,
however. that more candidates will be
out the first of next week, because the
cold weather. has had its effects upon
keeping other candidates from report
.ng.
Not since 1911. when the class OF
1911. which later became the renown-
cd class OF 1914 Of the Middletown
High School, staged such a successful
season. has the prospects for q nine
been brighter. Several OF the old vet
Grams are back again, while the new
men that have reported have reputa-
tons as ball players and arc expected
20 make good.
Marshall Whitlock. who Is making
strong fight for the position OF
catcher on the nine, claims that he
has his Job as good as cinched AL
though small for a catcher. Whltlock
is fast as rabbit, with an arm Of
steel. Unwise is the base-runner that
tries to steal a base when Whitlock
is catching.
Howard Dickson win be Whltlock's
battery mate. Dickson is a twirler OF
no mean ability. having won every
game that he started last year. This
season should see the star slab artist
IN even better shape than before.
Rogers Fouracre. the captain OF the
nine, formerly an outheder, will hold
down first base. In a few games last
year Fouracrer played around the in
itial sack, and in each instance did
more than make good Together with
, Fouracre on the infeld defense will
( he found Dick Cochran at second
Roger Lockwood. at third, and Gilbert
pleasanton at shortstop. These three
men should make a stone wall defense

( corner had only two errors, so IL ap-

and will be able to take his regular

will be seen. All three are fast, heavl

Captain Fouracre Is at present ar
ranging a schedule. so any team desir
ing a game should communicate will
him at once.

Vague and unfounded apprehensions
seem 10 exist In the public mind as TO
the extent OF the financial requirements
Of the United States during the current
fiscal year" the Secretary said 1T may
be helpful 10 the country TO know that
these requirements have been greatly
exaggerated, and that IN the Judgment
Of the Secretary Of the Treasui there
is no reason whatever for apprehension
on this score. ThiS opinion Is based
upon the latest estimates Of our nnan-
cial needs.
During the last few days the vari-
Gus departments Of the Government
have submitted 10 me their estimates
Of expenditures during the current fls-
cal year. On the basis Of these csti-
mates ] am confident that, allowing for
a liberal balance in the general fund
at the close Of the fiscal year. not more
than $4,000, 10000 remains 10 he raised
