Funeral Service For
Mrs. F. A. Hayes Today

The community was shocked on Fri
day to hear of the sudden death of
Mrs. F. A. Hays in the Homeopathic
Hospital, Wilmington, of pneumonia
Mrs. Hays entered the hospital several
weeks ago and on Tuesday, May 13,
gave birth to daughter. She was
apparently making splendid progress
when pneumonia suddenly developed
and her condition became critical
shortly before noon on Friday. Some
trouble was experienced by the hospi-
tai authorities in locating Professor
Hays, and when he arrived his wife
was dead.
Her family, who live in Cedar Rap
ids, Iowa, were apprised of her death
and brother, who has just been dis

west with the body. Services will be
held at her late home in Cedar Rapids
this afternoon at $50 and a simultan-
eous service held in the Presbyterian
Church here. Members of the Della
ware College faculty and of the local
high school will attend. DR.. Hays
mother arrived here from Oklahoma
on Monday evening and will assume
charge of the infant daughter who
survives.
Mrs. Hays graduated a year ago
with high honors from the Iowa Ag-
ricultural College at Ames and in July
became the bride of DR.. Hays. Soon
after the wedding they came to New
ark and took up residence on Prospect
avenue.
In an emergency created by short
age of teachers in the local high school
Mrs. Hays consented to teach the four
classes in science during the first half
OF the school year. She was teacher
of marked ability and influence, much
beloved by her students. KeenIy in

phase of student activity she elected

NUMBER 16
Blue and Gold Tri-
umphs Over U. of P.
Ball Team Wins Significant Victory
Preparations Begun Last Night for
Big Celebration

Excitement ran high last night even
among those ordinarily Indifferent to
college affairs, when the news flashed
over the wire last night that the Blue
and Gold had Won from Penn.
The significance of such a victory
was evident to everyone. This is the
first time as far as can be learned that
a Delaware team has outclassed Penn
in any branch of sport. This victory
therefore places the college of the
first State in the Union in its right
full position.
The undergraduates found it hard to
believe the report at first but confir-
nation later let pandemonium loose,
and impromptu celebrations continu-
ed spasmodically all night.
A demonstration took place in front
of the Carter home on South College
avenue in honor of Mr.. Carter's sons,
Gray and Bayard, Both of whom did
much toward winning the victory.
Rothrock, the Freshman southpaw,
Marvel, who scored a sensational home
run in the first inning, bringing in
two men, Johnnie Pierson, who secur-
ed two hits and Horsey, who played an
errorless game at short and likewise
got two hits and Coach Shipley, who
pet high standard for athletics
at Delaware, came in for a share of
the cheering.
Every noise-making device that
undergraduate ingenuity could beg,
borrow or-otherwise appropriate,
was secured to welcome the victorious
heroes and al night long the sounds
of revelry continued.
According to accounts of students
who accompanied the team, Penn
started with a portion of her scrub
team, but quickly switched in her
regulars when she saw the calibre of
her opponents.
The Penn coach put three pitchers
into the box, but the Blue and Gold
batsmen swatted each impartially,
pulling II hits to PENIS off Roth
rock. In the eighth inning the latter's
arm went bad and CARL was sent in
at particularly dramatic moment
with the bases full and DANNY" Nc
Nichol, PENIS star first sacker, at
bat. This switching of pitchers at
this crucial time was greeted with
boots of derision by the Penn rooters,
but the clear headed freshman after
throwing over two called balls, stead
led himself and retired the side.
The third was Delaware's big in
ming, four runs being scored. Dono-
ho was thrown out by Bohan, and Mar
vel famed. Then with two out Geo.
Madden got ~ double, "Bess" Carter
drove in Madden, with a single and
came home on "Don" Horsey's two
bagger. Gray Carter knocked a hot
one to Strauss, who muffed it and
allowed him to get safely to second.
Captain "Gudgie" McCardell then
drove in Carter with single, making
the score 10. Delaware scored an
other run in the ninth. Penn scored
one run in the third and two in the
eight,
Superior team work on the part of
Delaware's nine and the excellent
showing made by Delaware's battery,
Rothrock and Carter, were contribut-
ing factors in the notable victory
which will be celebrated with proper
spirit. Plans are now under way for
this celebration.

Prices kept climbing at the old re-
liable Madison House when the buy
ers reached its heavily laden floors
again late yesterday afternoon. Just
where the figures is going to stop is
hard to tell. Elmer Deatherage who
is boosting as never before, says the
sky is the limit and he expects to go
night to the limit if the farmers will
only continue to bring in the right
kind of tobacco.
Two crops which averaged over S73
each for the entire crops We're record
breakers at the old Madison this
morning. When a farmer looks at
these figures, nothing else need be
said. They talk better and louder for
the old Madison House than any mere
words. Here they are, speaking for
themselves:
Kelly and Son sold the following
baskets:
