LEAGUE STANDING

I remember, 1 remember, that sum
mer of Nineteen;
The baseball park at West End
So inviting, sweet and green.
You could glimpse the Susquehanna
AS you yelled your loud hosanna
When the horsehide lifted for a
home run, clean.
Eyes, sir; I'd sooner have motive
power than common wealth." med
itated the long faced rooter as he
left the West End park yesterday
evening to his friend, the fat, hap
Ply rooter. Motive power is what
wins a ball game and the name fits
the players; when you say Common
wealth Travellers, well, some of 'em
can travel, but then again. the COM
monwealth suffers because they skip

Yes. they made a bunch of errors
last evening. so many that Dewey

Washinger for s hits and four runs.
Umpire Cook was among the he
roes of the day, for a foul tip smote
him so fair on the mask that he was
stunned, but he held his nerve and
poise and even when a hardened
fan called out THAT'S the best play
of the game" he did not lose his
temper. Cook is a clever man with

speeded up.

Member of Motor
Transport Corps Praises
French Roads

Sergeant David Grant of Cherry
Hill, Md. visited Newark friends
on Tuesday. Sergeant Grant re-
turned home on Saturday after
nearly two years of service with
the Motor Transport Corps over
seas. He brought many interest
ing souvenirs and photographs of
France, Germany, Ireland and
England. He has had innumerable
interesting experiences since his
departure. Two of the vessels in
the convoy containing his trans
port were torpedoed and had to be
towed into harbor. All were
driven by submarines to the north
of Ireland and had a curlously
roundabout trip to reach Havre.
He has a wonderful collection
of maps used by the Motor Trans
port Corps and tells Of the almost
incredible distances that could be
covered in day because of the
excellent French roads.

LITERARY AND MUSI-
CAL CLUBS FORMED
AT HIGH SCHOOL
Promising Organizations Und-
er Leadership of
Teachers

Several clubs have been formed
during the past week at the High

promises to be almost entirely
male organization, has been form
ed under the direction of the
Misses Houston and King; Glee
club, which was greatly needed all
last year, has been organized
under the direction of Miss Roe;
and a Dramatic club, which prom
Uses to be very popular, has been
organized under the direction of
Miss Breem. There are two Lit

lel Collins, Vice-President, Alma
Dunlevy, Secretary, Anna Pat
chell; the Sophomore-Freshman

MILK ORDINANCE
REFERRED FOR MODI-
FICATIONS
Town Council Has Busy Ses-
sion Monday Night

At the regular monthly meeting of
Town Council last night it was de-
cided to refer the Milk Ordinance
back to the Board of Health for
notifications. This ordinance was
prepared and presented to Council
several months ago and action has
been deferred at previous meetings
TOR various reasons. 1t was the
opinion of those present last night
that it would not pass in it's pres
,ent form. Some of it's provisions
were not clear to the Council men,
!bers but this difficulty no doubt
ican be obviated by the Board of
Health who drafted the ordinance.
A report of the street committee
was presented which showed it to
be the desire of property holders
on West Delaware Avenue to have
that thoroughfare widened four
feet from South College Avenue
to the bend at the rear of DR.. Nit
kchelTs residence and three feet
from there to the junction at Elk
ton Road. This will necessitate
the removal of many of the trees
on this thoroughfare.
Some bills were ordered paid
and other routine business trans,
acted.

School Site Will
Probably be Chosen
This Week
Attendance Record for Month
Good
Crowded Conditions Necessi-
tate Renting of Additional
Room

Persistent rumors have been
going the rounds for the past few
days that the site for the new
school building has been definitely
chosen and that certain properties
have been purchased by the Board
of Education.
Assurance was received last
night from the Board that the site
has not been definitely settled but
that final steps would doubtless be
taken this week.
Records of attendance for the
first school month just ended show
a disposition on the part of both
parents and pupils to make the
most of the educational opportuni-
ties offered in the public schools.
In one of the grammar grades,
the fifth and sixth overflow the
record was SO per cent and in none
of these grades does it fall below
80 per cent. The records for the
primary and high school grades
were not available but according
to superintendent Morris the rec
ord throughout was exceptionally
good.
Much interest is manifested by
the children themselves in making
good records and in beautifying
and improving the buildings and
grounds. The high school activi-
ties as set forth elsewhere in this
issue are of an exceedingly prom
Using character. The teaching
force is exceptionally we'll equipp-
ed to give necessary aid.
The third grade, an unusually
large class has been put on full
time again and the second grade
which in the opinion of superin-
tendent Morris would lose less by
curtailmento of time has been put on
part time. This circumstance will
be obviated as soon as arrange
ments can be made for renting an
additional room to relieve over
crowded conditions in the primary
school. An effort is being made at
the present time to secure an un-
used room in the Armory.

ELECTS DELEGATES
TO STATE CONVEN-
TON AT WILMINGTON
1t. J. Allison O'Daniel Pos,
No. E Nearly Doubles
Membership

-, A combined special business meet
ing and smoker of the 1t. j. Allison
O'Daniel Post No. 6, of Delaware,
American Legion, was held in the
Armory on Friday evening. When
the roll was called, it was very evil
dent that the organization of this
post has aroused considerable inter-
est among the ex-service men of this
vicinity as the original membership
consisting of twenty-five had increas-
ed in the past two weeks to forty
three.
Two delegates and two alternates
to represent the local post at the
State convention to be held at the
Hotel DUPONT on October 1924, were
elected as follows: c. A. Short, Pu-
sey Morrison, R. R. Whittingham and
J. Wilbert Ramsey. These delegates
were instructed in favor of congress
sional legislation for an additional
bonus of $50 to be paid all honorably
discharged soldiers, sailors and mar
ines. This is the question of greatest
moment to be disposed OF at the Nat
ional Convention of the American Le-
gion in Minneapolis, Mimi, November
10, II and ~; and if the concensus OF
opinion seems to be for increased
bonus pay, efforts will be made fol
the introduction and passage of d
bill to this effect.
Also, members of the post were
sounded relative to their attitude or
the States desire to express In some
tangible form it's appreciation of the
sacrifices of its citizen soldiery in the
Great War. Banquets, parades, etc.
were apparently not held in very high
esteem and the example of Massachu
sets, Missouri, and a few other
states in making a presentation OF
varying amounts of money to then
sons who were in the service, was ap
plauded as the correct idea,
Capt. Wilson O'Daniel enlivened the
smoker by recounting interesting ex
periences at the front. Other com
rades, less fortunate in being at the
rear, were however. not deferred from
repeating few of the unlimited mum
Der of humorous incidents continually
cropping up in the field and camp.
