BUSH LEAGUERS TO HAVE
GREAT CHANCE IN 1918

This year promises 10 give the great
est opportunity TO youngsters In the
minors they have ever had. according
TO wise old baseball men who see in
the war situation the possibility OF
many bush league kids getting a
chance in the big show.
Dozens OF Big league players have
or will get into army service before
the baseball season is over and their
places must be filled.
In the past there has been only a
limited number Of vacancies annually
In the big tent, and scores Of young
stars have gone 10 waste In the
bushes. with the increased vacancies
this year more youngsters will have
chance to show what they can do.
The big league clubs continually
keep Scouts on the road to pick out
the most promising OF the minors, but
their work is compromised by the fast
that they have so many small camps
to cover that they cannot give the
proper attention 10 each shining star
they hear Of.

about year ago The small local
plants were dlsmantled and now most
Of the towns depend entirely upon the
Wilmington plant.
Users Of the electric service have
complained that It has been far from
satisfactory since the merger, and OF
late conditions have become much
worse. For the past week the street

have flickered out every evening about
$50 o'clock The current remains shut

has become a blind mans bun for
families which have not taken the
precautlon to provide candles or oil
lamps. Ofilclals Of the electric COM
pany blame the coal situation for the
poor service, but consumers declare
that Il was bad before there was any
fuel shortage. and say Il Is because the
load is too heavy for the Wilmington
