which made the work Of the firemen
all the more difficult, and while they
found il impossible to save the tin

One mule was burned to death in

Local AUTOMATIC Phone
IN The POSTAL SYSTEM

Inasmuch as the automatic tele-
phone OF the Wilmington and Phila-
delphia Traction Company connects
with the Keystone Telephone Company
Of Philadelphia, it will probably be
included in a great trans-continental
telephone system which is being form
ed for the purpose of lowering rates
on long distance calls. The Keystone
Telephone Company is included in the
proposed system. Officials Of the Will
mington and Philadelphia Traction
Company said today that as yet they
could make no statement in the mat
ter, other than the automatic tele.
phone would be the logical one to rep.
resent the system locally.
The system is to be operated in
conjunction with the Postal Telegraph
and Cable Company. In substance
the plans have been built along the
same lines as that existing between
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany and the American Telephone
and Telegraph, or Bell system. I'm
der this agreement the Bell uses the
Western Union wires in making con-
nections with cities on the Bell sys-
TEN. In the present case it is the
intention to tie up all the independent
telephone companies into a large sys.
TEN in competition with the Bell.

First Week of Baseball
twists The Dope Fingers

The Athletics nearly turned the
baseball world over when they ground
out twenty hits off hatful of Wash
lngton pitchers. The surprise was I'M
necessary, however, for Mack has
gathered in his several years Of
search. a team OF terrific hitters who
will shoot disaster into the nerves Of
many a hurler before the season is
over.
The Reds. have done remarkably
well so far. Pitching, hitting and
baseball in general have been rolled
together by Matty and the results are
easy to zee. His team is new and may
fail 70 maintain the stride it has start
ed. but a team that PLAYS this sort OF
ball is not destined 10 finish last.
Fred Mitchell's misfortune when Vic
Safer broke his leg has added just one
more obstacle in the path OF the Cubs
regeneration. Larry Doyle is having
considerable trouble with his ankle.
With both Doyle and Safer out OF the
game. much of the clubs heavy artil-
lery IS idle. A new first baseman must
be found before the team can gets its
bearings again.

With the second round of the brand
new baseball season showing up to-
day. the old dope finger and the finger
OF suspicion are somewhat in a tangle.
The finger OF suspicion is directed
mainly al Christy Matthewson's Gin
cinnati Reds and Connie Mack's Phil
adelphia Athletics, neither of which
teams has been considered of more
use in the two big leagues of late
than furnish a place to stop off on a
trip somewhere else. The done finger
is directed strongly at the antics of
the Giants and White Sox. There may
be something in the old superstition
that it's bad luck 10 win the first pot,
but Clarence Rowland and John Nc
Graw are the kind of managers who
believe a game won now will count
as the season nears its close. The
fact that Eddie Cicotte pitched no
hit. no-run game may not mean any
thing. but il will get him lot OF room
on the sidewalks.
The Giants despite the tempe ramen-
tai makeup. have been blistering
basebalrs wreckless abandon.
