Make Sweep in Prizes
Glencoe Men Second
By A. c. Cavagnaro

The barriers of the Morningside
Athletic Club continue to sweep the
card of honors in the weekly handicap
races of the Harlem Athletic League.
In the event yesterday over the Glen
coe Athletic Club trail the Winged M.
furnished the individual winner, fast
time and lowest point score.
Harry Lucas, the Morningside vet
eran, who led the way home, showed
that he had regained his speed of
years ago in his easy victory. He has
been showing Improvement of late, and
his performance yesterday proved him
to be in the zenith of his form. AL
lotted 81 start Of 3:15, Lucas went
through his field so swiftly that at the
two-mile point he was in the van.
He never rclinquished this pacing
position, leading his field as he pleased,
and finishing the distance with much
vantage. His time for the course was
34:34.
GIepcoe Runner Second
Tom Mullane, a Glencoe runner, who
surrendered the lead to Lucas, sprinted
home second barely five yards in front
of Peter Zabludofsky, Morningside
Athletic Club.
Eddie Lehman, who finished sixth,
was the fast time winner. He started
with Harry Spies, n clubmate, and
George Williams, st. Christopher Club,
from the 15-second mark, but Lehman
left his rivals behind at the start. Lch-
man was tearing along at mad pace
when he crossed the finish line, in
33:15.
In the team competition, the Morn
ingside representatives bested the
Glencoe athletes by Is to 80 points, re-
spectively.

Ruth Hammers
Ball as Red Sox
Defeat Dodgers

HOT SPRINGS, Ark, March 1.-THE
Boston Red Sox went over the top
rather easily in the first skirmish with
the Brooklyn Dodgers here to-day and
won the first of the series of exhibi-
tion games by score of II to 1.
While the game was not a fair test of
the strength of either club, since
neither Boston nor Brooklyn has had
it's regulars in camp long enough to
get into condition, it developed the fact
that the Red Sox have not lost their
hitting power. The American Leaguers
whaled three young Brooklyn pitchers
fer total of sixteen hits, while the
Dodgers gathered only four.
The work of Babe Ruth and Johnny
Evers stood out. In the absence of Nc
Innis and Hoblitzell, neither of whom
for Boston. The big pitcher seized this
opportunity to make two home runs,
one of them long blow over the right
field fence. Strunk also made homer
over the same fence.
1t was Johnny Evers who started the
Red Sox in the second inning. Evers
played second base for four innings. In
the second, with two men on the bases,
he slammed a double against the right
field fence, scoring both runners. He
tailed himself moment later on
single by Bush
The Dodgers were unable to get as
much as a single off Bush in the two
innings he worked. McCabe, who fol-
lowed him to the mound, was touched
for two scratch blows in the fourth inn
ing. O'Mara beat out hit to third and
Myers scratched a hit through short.
Brooklyn made its run in the seventh.
Burleigh Grimes, the pitcher obtained
from Pittsburgh, crashed a double TO
centre. Johnson scored him with Il
single, both being clean hits.

GERMAN U-BOATS AT
WORK OFF OUR CAPES
The German Submarines Sink Fifteen
Ships Near LeWes-Tanker Is
Sunk in Sight OF Town.

On Sunday and Monday last the
first actual war experience Of the peo-
pie Of Delaware came as a surprise
and shock, when two submarines at
tackled and sank nine sailing vessels
and six steamers, on the Atlantic
Ocean, near Lewes, and some OF them
in sight of shore. The under sea boats
used gun fire to sink the most Of the
craft, but a torpedo sent a large oil
carrier Of about 5000 tons to the bot
tom. The loss OF life was not heavy.
as the crews generally had opportun-
ity to leave their vessels before be-
ing sent to the bottom.
A number of steamers escaped the
destroyers and ran for shallow water
and ports where the submarine could
not follow.
Many warships and submarine de-
stroyers are working along the coast,
and the Navy reserves at both Cape
May and at Lewes are placing their
guns to defend any shell fire which
might be made upon either Lewes or
Cape May by the German submarines,
which carry cannon Of three-inch cal
ibre. and are effective at several miles
off shore.
Thousands of people attempted to
get to the shore to see the wrecked
crews. which were landed at Lewes
and Cape May. but martial law was
established at Cape May and no one
permitted to arrive or depart from
that place.
1t is believed that the submarines
have a base Of supplies either at Mex
leo. or are receiving supplies from
Mexican boats at sea.
This brings the war home to the
people Of Delaware, and we must not
be surprised If Lewes, or Cape May
is bombarded by the cruiser subma-
irnes now operating along the coast.

VAR SAVING BONDS

The plans Of the Treasury Depart
ment az Washington for financing the
war include the sale of War Savings
Bonds to the amount or over $4,000
600 in the State Of Delaware. This
is on the basis Of $50 per capita. This
campaign has been on since the first
Of last December and Delaware has
invested about S6O0,OOO matured val
ue. This is a long way from the goal
and plans are now dnder way for
making an extensive drive to assure
the great success Of this effort.
Delaware has been first in Liberty
Loans, first in Red Cross and should
not fail in the purchase Of these pop
ular price certificates. The War
Savings Certificate is the best invest
ment of them all It cannot decrease
in value and it has an assured return
OF four per cent compounded quarter
ly. Il also embOdies the spirit Of
saving and service.
But to realize the full amount Del
aware's people of means must be
reached. We cannot hope to attain
our quota with the small sales with
which the campaign started.
During the month of June the War
Savings Committee, which is literally
a branch of the Treasury Department
will undertake campaign TO be con-
cluded with grand rallies in every
community on June 2Sth, which will
be known as Pledge Day" It is
proposed to sign up enough people
who will promise to buy large
amounts Of these bonds during the
year to meet the nations require
ments. We feel that there is no
doubt that the American people will
be glad to participate, to become war
savers, and to invest in these very
attractive securities if the proposition
is placed forcibly before them.

57i SUBSCRIBERS TO RED CROSS

The Red Cross drive in North Mil

574 subscriptions amounting to ST.

J. C. Tharpe, captain for the 10th
district, wishes to take this OppOrtun-
ity Of thanking the men, women and
children whose faithful cooperation
made the result possible. The large
number of subscribers compared to
the total amount collected, shows the
zeal and fervor with which the solic-
itors stuck TO the job. and it shows al
so that the people at large were not
unresponsive, but comparatively short
Of cash at this season. Only a very,
very few, were found short OF patriot
ism.

FIsHERMFN FINED IN MILFORD

The result Of a visit from the Fish
Policeman, Mr.. Dillaha, of Dover, to
the Delaware bayshore last week, re-
suited in arresting and fining a num-
Der Of fish peddlars, and the fishermen
at the bayshore, who have been sein-
ing and taking fish under the legal
length, which is ten inches. Last
Monday he came to Milford and caus-
ed to be arraigned before Magistrate
HENDERSON Sherman Van and Robert
Hobbs, for peddling OF selling fish
under size. Each we're fined $40 and
each paid S11. 65 as fine and cost after
the hearing.
The next case was that Of Thomp-
son & Wright, who operate large
seines at Slaughter Beach, and they
were charged with seining, taking
and selling fish under ten inches in
length, which was established to the
satisfaction Of the Justice, who gave
the smallest fine prescribed by the
law for offenses of this character,
which was 500 and confscation of
the seines, boats and equipment for
fishing. After a promise and pledge
was given, the State held up the con-
fiscation part Of the penalty. and
agreed to accept a fine Of $50 90 and
costs, provided that Thompson and
Wright refrain from breaking fishing
laws of the State OF Delaware Il the
future.
These laws have been so long not
observed that the fishing business
along the Delaware Bayshore was op-
Grated according to the disposition
OF those engaged in the business. The
high prices Of fish drew attention to
the practice, and the enforcement Of
the law Is the result.
