Middletown Musings
BY "AI..'' -
~. r..0ninr 1onrnal.

ei ral TO The Evening Journal.
inDLETOWN, Sept. 9.-MiddletoWn'
lkton. 1. Well, this Just about
pro, es what class the Middletown team
possesses. That Elkton bunch Is no
slouch OF a team either.
Elkton was barely nosed out OF the
Del-NIar championship. Therefore this
should put Middletown in line for a
series with the Parkside-P. r. R. win
ners for the state champion.
such a series should prove some
attraction. Independent champions vs.
league champions.
The Middletown team even without
the regular infleld surely played won
derful brand Of ball and the way these
same boys slugged was a caution
bob" Heller returned TO the old
time form he displayed with Odessa
when he slammed a ball over the left
field wall in his first appearance al
the bat.
Elkton played a mighty nifty game
Of ball, too. However, they Just o0uldn !
fathom Gostree's twisters and thereby
lies the tale.
Benny Gibbs. during the absence OF
West. again broke into the game at
second and performed with all his old
lime vigor. besides doubling to left IN
.he fourth.
Gostree looks like the ind OF the
season. Many times he was in Hanger
of having a flock Of runs scored, but
each time he frightened and turned back
the ElktOn sluggers.
Old Joe Clay pitched no mean brand
OF our national pastime. However, Joe
merely faced the inevtable-the Middle
lown wrecklng crew.
The MiddletOwn boys hit freely
throughout the contest and lost many
chances 20 score because Of poor base
running.
Gosiree not only showed his merits
as pitcher. but his bat was big
factor in Elktons defeat. His two hits
were a great aid in scoring Middle
towns tallies.
Rube and Gerry Dunbar made up a
most clever pair Of keystone guardians
for Elkton. These Dunbar brothers are
the real nucleus Of the inaeld.
This game was one Of the fastest and
cIeanest ever seen on the local grounds.
Very few arguments arose and these
were quickly settled in an amicable
manner.
Middletown has sure broke its losing
streak with a vengeance. The way they
came out OF their batting slump has
aroused new interest among local fans.
To "TOmmie" Vinyard:
Tom. old boy. you sure can do 1t,
You're a wonder. believe me, bO,
You can make. our team start winning,
Even when its running slow.
You. whO've turned defeat TO victory
You. who knock the baseballs blue.
Believe me. Tom, the fans in this town
owe an awful lot TO YOU.
"Tommie" has proved himself a real
Cravaih. He has pulled the team from
its slump and Is batting and fielding
like a fend himself
Middletown is anxious to avenge its
defeat by Smyrna and then it is ready
for any team I'm the State-bar none.
The locals wish 10 prove their cham
pionship claim. Come one, come all.
Elkt0n and other Del-Aiar teams or
All-WilmingtOn teams will be welcomed
here and square. deal guaranteed.
DOWNSTAIRS also are desired.
Now that the grand old team has
again struck its stride Spec, what do
YOU say that we settle our differences
about the best team?

FROM ARM TO TABLE
MOVEMENT STARTED
Suggestion That Auto Own
ers Drive to Country and
Purchase Products

Az n means of combating the high
cost of living. farm to table week
will be observed here November 10 to
90, inclusive, if plans being made now
are carried out. c. L. Harold. secre-
tarv manager of the Civic association.
received a letter yesterday from r.. >.
Keyes asking the cooperation OF the
association in this plan. He star ed
that all civic organizations and GUNS
would be asked to assist In making
this week a success.
During this week it has been sug-
gested that persons owning automo-
biles go to the country with marke.
baskets and buy the eggs. butter,
chickens potatoes. turkeys. apes.
squash, cabbage and various OTTER
vegetables direct from the farmer. AN
farmers in this county will be notifie
of the plan and will be urged to past
on the roadside what they have for
sale and as far as possible establish
roadside markets.
This week was selected because ii
Is close to Thanksgiving. when fatm
products are in greater demand than
ordinarily. according to Mr.. Reyes. and
as these products are abundant at this
time. IT is pointed out that unless
some mediums are used in taking
them to the tables Of consumers tons
and tons of foodstuffs will be spoiled
The Civic association has assured
Mr.. Keyes of it's cooperation and
every effort is being made by the vari-
Gus organizations TO make this week
a grand success.

of the Gold Star Memorial association of

These expressions would indicate that
bereaved parents desire that the bodies
Of their sons remain in France. where
they fell in defense of their country. The
Gold Star association has made a very
careful canvass OF the entire county.
We have been in touch with every father
and mother who wears a gold star, and
even with more distant relatives of the
boys, and with one single exception the
sentiment among them is unanimously
in favor of the return of the bodies al

| THE only exception we found was IT
! the case of a mother who gave as hel

financial circumstances that she was
unable to purchase lot for the inter
ment of her son If the remains should be
brought back.

you will find that the overwhelming sem
tinent in Congress which expresses the
feelings of the whole country, Is in favor
of the removal of the dead from France
to the United States.
There is of course a good deal OF talk
in the papers in favor OF maintaining
the great cemeteries in France, but l am
sure you will find II investigation is
made that such expressions are inspired
directly or indirectly by the syndicate
in New York which has been formed to
build a great chain Of American hotels
| in France near the cemeteries and battle
fields in the expectation that in the years
/ TO come thousands Of Americans Will
make the sad pilgrimage to France to
see the last resting place of their loved
ones. II the feelings of parents are con-
suited rather than the sentiment of these
promoters there can be but one point
of view"
