reason why New Castle Countian"

to dsparage a good teams reputation

one OF the statements made by this
Nent Countan relates to the many
bonehead plays and foozles pulled by
The Middlelown club in the game at

this baseball wiseguy failed TO note
that Charlie Ellison secured four clean

which no Milford player accomplished.
His Ignorance OF baseball was further

Countlan is talking through his hat,
for several reasons, some OF which fol-
low:
The critic has apparently failed TO
observe that the Middletown team has
laid claim only to the INDEPENDENT
championship of New Castle county.
This excludes all league teams and also
Sussex and Kent counties. And If the
Middetown team isn't etitled 90 the in
dependent championship OF New Castle
county, certainly no team is. They
have beaten all the Wilmington teams

Mr.. Critic will be kind enough TO sug-

sting Of defeat by Middletown, feel

 Clayton presents a most unfathom- able performance. He passes cards to the audience on which anyone may write question and sign his or her name. Without seeing the card he calls the name, repeats the question, and then answers it. Clayton does other mar vicious things.
 Agnes Finlay and Charley Hill, as' sisted by a third party, whose name does not appear on the programme, take high honors on the bill. Miss Finlay. a most attractive young lady, possesses an excellent voice, while Hill is clever comedian.
 One of the fun features is presented by McDevitt, Kelly and Lucey in The Piano Movers and the Actress They offer an entertainment that is original and clever. The appreciation of the audience places them right on the top of the bill
