YANKEES ARE
QUEER OUTFIT

(By II. c. Hamilton, United Press
Staff Correspondent
New York, June 1.-THE Yankees
are rather queer baseball club
They have batting power and pitch
ing power. but are a bit slow on the
bases. Their fielding could be i'm.
proved on in spost, but, considered
on the whole, Yankee fielding is
good enough for any big league base
ball club.
Stlll, the Yankees are having the
time of their lives sticking in the top
division of Ban Johnsons circuit
Taken from top to bottom, the Yam
kee batting order cffers potentialities
that are not found on any other base
ball club. In Sam Wick they have a
hard hitting yongster but one whS is
inclined to be headstrong on the
/ bases and little impatient, when
he gets a bat on his shoulder.
Roger Peckinpaugh is practically
cleanup hitter for most major league
clubs
Walle Pipp is undoubtedly one Of
the most ferocious baseball punchers
in the business, and he is followed
generally by Frank Baker, another
fthe same kind.
Derrell Pratt is another murder
GUS hitter and Duffy Lewis was the
mainstay hitter of the Red lSox when
he sojourned there. Ping Bodie is
a demon clouter and Muddy Ruel is
hitting far better than any one had
expected.
The pitching staff has shown gen,
uine class aat times, and the hitters
have been in the habit of falling
down behind them.
The Yankees were slow in getting
off with their real speed j was in
Florida while they were training and
noticed then that their muscles did
not respond to ordinary training
treatment as most ball players.
Many of them are veterans and take
some time to get into condition.
Judged purely from their possibil-
ities the Yankees should be favorites
in the dash for the pennant The
Yankees are whole and hearty. They
haven't yet begun to make them
selves felt as they should. Sooner
or later they should start and the
sparks should begin to fly. Detroit
and Cleveland appear right now as
most dangerous opponents for Miller
Higgins brigade, with the White Sox
of course, always figured in the race.

W. Morris of Philadelphia was an
nOunced. Miss Wrnten is the da::s-h;
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. William S. Wroten
of this town and is one of Milford's

CLAYMONT HIGH SCHOOL
BUILDING TO COST AS MUCH AS $500,
600 AND TO Be A MODEL SCHOOL.

Plans for a high school building, tC
cost possibly as high as 100000. are
Delng considered by the Board of Ed
ucation Of Claymont. The project was
considered at a meeting held by the
board last Friday night.
Claymont now comprises a school
district by itself. So great has been
the increase in population throughout
the section the past several years, and
especially during the past few months,
that the three primary and grammar
schools in the district have become
overcrowded. To relieve this pressure
large high school building is con-
templated.
The school district embraces not
only the old town of Claymont, but the
new Overlook colony, established and
built by the employees of the General
Chemical Company, the Worth Bros.
steel plant and allied industries of the
section. 1t also includes Claymont
addition and Claymont centre. both
OF which are growing rapidly. Many
families have moved from Whining
ton to Claymont to escape the high
rents in that city due to lack of dwell
ings in proportion to population.
The ClaymOnt school board is com
posed of William G. Robelen, the
plumber of Wilmington. who lives on
Myrtle avenue, Claymont; Robert Nc
Falls of the Worth Bros. company.
and William S. Haigh of the General
Chemical Company.

PUTTING TARVIA ON STREETS

I'll Tiiis SSci; ~SScii; ss!!.e town authorities have
been covering the old macadam streets
of both North and South Milford with
Tarvia. This is the second coating
for part of the streets, and a first
coating for much of the work on South
Front street 1t requires three coat
ings with Tarvia to make the street
bed what it should be and these should
be applied each following year. When
the last and third coating is on, the
surface will wear for many years, un-
less unusually heavy truck hauling
passes over it. The last coating should
leave the road with a gentle arched
curve, and it will be almost free from
dust and dirt; certainly we'll cleaned
by each rainstorm.
But there will have to be this fact
impressed upon the people, THAT NO
FIRES will be permitted to be built
upon the Tarvia street bed for any
purpose whatever. Those who have
been accustomed to burn dead leaves
in the fall of the year can not do this
any more where Tarvia has been
spread. The heat will destroy the
road wherever it is applied. Take the
leaves up and remove them from the
streets. They make good bedding for
pigs, horses or cows, and if composted
they are valuable as manure.
