DELAWARE DOPE
BY GAL"

Wen. fellows. Penn beat us by a
2-1 score, but they had to play some
to down the Blue and Gold. Clancy
should have had a 10 victory chalked
up to his credit instead OF a 2-1 de-
feat
Up until the eighth inning II looked
like .Delaware's game. But when Imp
Ryan made a mighty poor decision al
third. two runs crossed the plate and
II was all over.
When Il looked as n Delaware would
shut out Penn, Howard Berry. the
Red and Blue captain. walked over
TO the Delaware bench and tried TO
pick a fight with Walt Ritz. It's a
sure thing that Penn has a hard bunch
OF losers.
PENIS nine was completely out
classed by Delaware In all depart
ments Of the game. Clancy showed
the Philadelphia boys the way a base
ball should be thrown. while the Della
ware boys outbatted and outplayed
PENIS much talked OF team.
The Philadelphia papers claim that
Penn has q heavy hitting combination.
Wonder what they would say con-
corning the heavy hitting that Della
ware did against Bernhard
Probably the two mines will clash
next year. II they O'clock out Penn.
Little did Penn realize that Della
ware would put up such a stin battle.
Believe us. Delaware's little, but it's
loud.
The Penn baseball team Is being
lionized today. They whipped the
Blue and Gold ball team yesterday,
which is quite some Job.
Howard Berry may be a heavy hit
ter but not when he goes up against
a pitcher Of Clancy's calibre. They all
fall down when they bat against
Clancy.
Despite the fact that Penn won on
Tuesday there Is JOY IN the neart OF
every Delaware fan. because the Red
and Blue should have been beaten 10.
The Delaware fan Is filled with JOY,
And also filled with pride;
For the game that Penn won should
have been
A victory for our side.
No one ball player did 1t all.
For each one did his bit,
And though we lost by two TO one,
The Penn boys were outhit.
This game ended the 1917 baseball
season. Here's hoping we play PEN

Tennis SENIFINALS
ON courts TODAY
Misses Bjurstedt and Myers,
Mrs. Dahl and Mrs.
Taylor Qualify
CHAMPION HAS
LITTLE TROUBLE

Miss Molla Bjurstedt, the national
champion; Mrs. Knud Dahl, the Swiss
htleholder; Mrs. j. Saunders Taylor.
Delaware champion OF 1915. and Miss
Nargaretta Myers, senli-fnalist in the
1916 event, comprise the quartet that
has reached the penultimate round Of
the Delaware State women's tennis
tournament, in course Of play at the
Wilmington Country Club.
Mrs. Taylor was forced TO work the
hardest to qualify for the semi-fnal
bracket. and her match against
Miss Mollie Thayer, of Philadelphia
Cricket CLUB provided the best contest
Of the day. Mrs. Dahl passed the
third round through the default Of
Miss Florence BALM, but the with
drawal Of the New York girl came in
the second set OF a bitter contest and
the Swiss star was pressed TO the
limit before the abrupt finish of
the match Miss Myers played
three sets to reach the big round, but
the last two were tame as her op-
ponent was able 10 win only one game
in each. Miss Bjprstedt did not even
get warmed up 10 her work. as Miss
Christine Cause, OF the home club,
failed to capture a game.
Miss Thayer was the center OF at
traction, and her uphill fight against
the former Delaware champion was
the spectacular feature OF the day
The young Cricket Club representa-
tive made a hurried trip from Phila-
delphia and began play without stop
ming for lunch. The first set was bit
terlv fought and developed into a
driving duel. Miss Thayer winning
after twelve games.
Miss Cause was a mere target for
Miss Bjurstedts shots, and the ma
tional title holder simply romped
away with twelve straight games.

QUEER MISTAKES OF
PRINTERS AND TRANSLAT-
ORS IN OLD BIBLE

Ordinarily, the last place to look
for word of such mildly risible con-
nections as "breeches" would be the
Bible. In the first place, the sober
theologians who along in the 10th
and 18th centuries translated the Writ
into the vulgar tongues were equip
ped with censorial talent which chok-
ed in their infancy all suggestions ev-
en- family limiting of the charlie. In
the second place, none of the biblical
characters ever wore "breeches".
Imagine the effect upon a congre-
cation, however staid, of the sudden
startling information, communicated
in a stately and reverberating voice,
that Adam and Eve, when "the eyes
of them both were opened and they
knew that they were asked :. they
sewed fig tree leaves together and
made themselves breeches." Yet for
score of years or more before the
King James version appeared this pas
sage in the Geneva Bible, then one of
the best extant English renderings of
the Scriptures, excited no known COM
ment in any part of the English
speaking world where it was read.
Of different order are the "place-
makers" Bible, where it is related
that the "placemakers" shall inherit
the earth; the vinegar" Bible, where
the parable of the vineyard is headed
this, and the wicked" Bible, of which

the printer, it is asserted, for leaving
the negative out of the seventh COM
mandment, was forced to pay fine
of $4,000. These last are, of course,
simple misprints.
The "Murderers' Bible, published in
1901, won its CHASTITY name from an
error in the 10th verse of the epistle
of Judge, where the word "murmur-
ers" is rendered "murderers." The
foreman Bible" reads in Galatians
iv, 20, Prosecuted him that was born
after the spirit to remain, even so it
is now" This typographical error
which was permitted in the first oc-
tave Bible printed for the Bible So
ciety, takes its chief Importance from
the curious circumstances under which
it arose. A duodecimo Bible was be-
ing printed at Cambridge in 1905, and
the proofreader, being in doubt as to
whether or not he should remove
comma, applied to his superior, and
the reply, penciled on the margin, "to
remain, was transferred to the body
of the text, and was repeated in the
Bible Society's octave edition in 1905
and 1906, and also in another duo
decimo edition in 1919.
Four other "freak" are the "dis-
charge" Bible, printed in 1906, and So
called from it's rendering of passage
in | Timothy V, q, 81 discharge thee
before God"; the standing fishes BIZ
ble," also printed in 1906, which rem
ders passage in Ezekiel Xvii, 10,
"And it shall come to pass that the
fishes will stand upon it,; the Gears
to-ear Bible, printed in 1910, which
reads, in Matthew xiii, 43, "Who hath
ears to ear let him hear" and the
wife-hater's Bible, also printed in
1910, in which passage in Luke xiv,
26, reads, "If any man come to me
and hate not his father . yea, and
his own wife, also," etc. The fact that
this list practically exhausts the
famous freaks in official editions of
the Bible is eloquent of the great care
with which their printing has always
been conducted in modern times.-l

TUNGSTEN IN SIBERIA

Wolfram, a mineral of essential
Importance in certain parts of the
steel industry, and of which the
known deposits in the world are of
small extent, has been discovered in
large quantities in the Trans-Bai-
kal region in Siberia.
Three deposits of large extent have
been located. The largest of these
is in a range of mountains in the Aai-
ga, and Mt. Bukuk was selected as a
basis for the mineral survey. 1t was
discovered that the granite of this
formation contains wide quartz
vain in which wolframite occurs in
sufficient proportion to render the de-
post available for profitable COM
mercial mining.
In the same region a small hill was
found in which several shafts had
been sunk by peasant prospectors in
search for gold. In these shafts were
abundant signs of wolframite.
The third deposit was found near
Khara-nor on the Trans Baikal Rail-
way and appears in the form of an
island of granite in the midst of the
conglomerates which form the chief
geological base of this region.
AS the worlds total annual output
Of wolfram is only from 5000 to TO-
900 tons, with every deposit known to
this time in operation, this discovery
in the Trans-Baikal is of moment in
the tungsten steel industry.
AS tungsten steel and tungsten
chrome steel are needed in high-grade
machinery and lathe tools, by rea-
son of the property of these in re-
tanning their hardness even when heat
ed to redness, the discovery of these
deposits of wolfram will operate pow
erfully to increase Russia's facilities
in the manufacture of machinery.
The exploitation of these deposits
will be undertaken at once.

GOOD ADVERTISING

1t was a veteran circus manager
who declared that Americans love to
be humbugged," and proved it by
humbugging them for many years.
Of course, the humbug must be a
neat device, showing that the schem-
err is Smart, otherwise the victims
will get angry. Away back in the
"sixties" Chicago was startled by the
lavish display, on dead walls and
curbstones, of a poster bearing. the
legend "He is coming" That was all.
Who che" was, or when che" was
coming" was nowhere stated. On
Sunday morning the newspapers her.
aided the fact that "He is here" and
again the dead walls and curbstones
took up the cry and told the same
thing.
From the announcements, it ap-
peared that "he" was a mysterious
wonder, who would give exhibitions
on Monday night at public ball. The
sensation created by the announce
ments, "He is coming" and "He is
here, attracted a great crowd to the
hall that night, and the advent of the
singular advertiser was eagerly
watched for.
At last the hall was filled with pay
ing people, and the window of the box
Office was closed. A bell rang and up
went the curtain. All that could be
seen was big sign, reading, "He is
gone" He was, too, and with all the
money, but the victims enjoyed it.

CARD PLAYING

Playing cards are of the most re-
mote antiquity. There is evidence
that they were in use in Egypt in the
time of Joseph, and their use extended
as far East at Hindustan and China
before they were introduced into Eu-
rope. A Chinese Dictionary of 1878
states that they were invented in 1920
for the amusement of the women of
the Court of Seun-ho. Probably they
were not commonly used in Europe
until about the beginning of the fif-
teenth century. Some antiquarians
say that they followed the wake of
the invading Saracens into Europe in

RECEPTION OF =
MONROE DOCTRINE

Of the reception of the Monroe
Doctrine in this country, Albert Bush
nell Hart writes: within the United
States the doctrine was from the first
popular. Seldom has Presidents
message produced such speedy and
complete effect. Webster said of it,
One general glow of exultation, one
universal feeling of the gratified love
of liberty, one conscious and proud
perception of the consideration which
the country possessed, and of the re-
spect and honor which belonged to it,
pervaded all bosoms'."
In the years that Immediately fol-
lowed the Presidential terms of Mon
roe and John Quincy Adams, however,
the Monroe Doctrine fell into popular
disrepute as an American political
tenet; the jackson men" abhorred it
because Adams had been its cham
pion. And it was not announced with
approval again until during Folks adj
ministration, in 1916.
1t is supposed that the South Amer
lean States, which were at the time
afraid of European Intervention in be-
half of the resumption of Spanish au-
thority, generally welcomed the an
nouncement of the Monroe Doctrine
in 1923; certainly it was most cordial
ly received in Brazil, Colombia and
Argentina. In Europe it met with
widely varying receptions, but insofar
as it was construed as placing an in
terdict on future colonial enterprises,
it was generally opposed. Chataubri-
and, the French Foreign Minister,
stated that the powers should oppose
it, and even Canning was not in favor
of the noncolonization feature. You
will find details on the subject in AL

Doctrine: An Interpretation" and

Policy" J. w. Kassen's Evolution and
