The Penn's Grove record., 1919-04-11
H. S. Breaks With Goldey

Penns Grove Highs baseball team
clashed with Goldey College, of Will
mington, last Friday afternoon at
Penns Grove. High had easy rowing
from the first inning when four men
made a circuit of the bases. Col
dey's first pitcher left the mound af-
ter he had walked the first four men
and before they could hitch in their
belts all four had scored
This lead made hard sailing for the
visitors, but they plugged on, manag-
ing to crowd in three scattered runs.
The Penns Grove boys had rallies in
the fifth and seventh innings, making
the margin three greater in both in
nings.
Score by innings:
Goldey. ......0 0 l 0 l 0 l 0 o. 3
High .........4 0 0 0 3 0 8 0 x-10
On Wednesday afternoon Penns
Grove played a return game with Col
dey at Wilmington. All! but it is a
different story this time. Penns
Grove hit a rut and was thrown on a
rock but the injuries were not quite
as serious as those received by Col
dey on Friday.
At the end of the third inning
things were very much in Penns
Groves favor and the boys already
had the scalp tied to their belt. But
the fatal fourth came like a hurricane
and after the first error every player
went wild and threw the game away.
Not until seven had crossed the pan
did the high school boys come to earth
and play baseball.
Penns Grove made vain efforts to
overtake them but when the margin
was narrowed Goldey always kept in
safe grounds by scoring a few more
runs.
The game was a farce from begin
ming to end. First the Goldey boys
could not get the ball in the groove
and then it was Penns Grove boys.
1t was not the good batting or the
poor pitching but it was Old Man
Error who was always lurking around
reaping victory from all sides.
Score by innings:
Goldey. IL 0 6 l 5 l 0 x-14
High .........1 l ) 0 1 0 l 0 O. 9
The following is a letter received
from Goldey College after Fridays
game al Penns Grove:
April 9Th, 1919.
Mr.. Jenkins, Supt. of Schools,
Dear Sir:-I want to thank you for
the courteous and fair treatment that
your boys gave to u baseball team
while they were in Penns Grove last
Friday. At the game there was an
absence of that bitter partisanship
which sometimes characterizes ath-
letic contests. 1t was good, clean
sport.
We hope to be able to reciprocate
the courtesy when your boys come to
Wilmington. Sincerely yours,
Jay W. Miller,
Mgr. Business Practice Dept

the fact that the fire department was responsible for any trouble at the Baptist church on the night Of July 5. The chief stated that he and four men were on duty all night and none ot the men with him were in any way responsible for the ringing of the bell or any damage done at the church. He did not say that some fireman might have been responsible for the act but was careful to point out the fact that they were in their civilian status at the time and were not acting as tiremen or on duty as such. The affair might reflect discredit on the fire department and the chief for lack of discipline. Therefore the expla2a- tion which generates the Plainville department from any town squabbles which may have arisen.

THREE NEW BRIDGES ID BE CONSTRUCTED Corrugated Iron CulVertS Are
 Also to Be Installed
 BULKELEY 90 YEARS OLD
Venerable Citizen Hale and Hearty on His birthday-Louis Bunce Returns From Overseas-FOreSterS' Social Big SucceSS-Othcr Items.

The town of Berlin is to have three new concrete bridges and number ot new culverts to replace the old Wood- en sluices. This information was giV- en out this morning by First Select man Willard I. filling, who also stat ed that the contract for the bridges had been given, the work to be done by Baker & Lasher of New Britain. Twelve new corrugated iron culvertS have been ordered to replace a num- ber of wooden sluices about the town, as the wooden ones have rapidly de- teriorated under the heavy automobile traffic.
 The location of the bridges are on the well travelled highways Where there is considera ble truck traffic. One of the bridges will be on the road from East Berlin to Beckley, one on the main road to Southington and the other one on Pennington avenue. Pre- viously the wooden structures had to be repaired, quite often necessitating conside derable inconvenience. This new measure will meet with wide approval. A carload of bridge plank is expected almost any time and upon it's arrival all the lesser travelled bridges will be repaired and put in first class Condi- tion.
 When all these improvements have been completed the town highways will be in first class condition except ing perhaps the East Berlin highway which would necessitate considerab ble expense to rebuild. This road, how ever, has been repaired this spring by filling in with tar and macadam The next year will probably see all this done.

adm mlnlStratOr of more estates than any other man in the town of Berlin. He is extremely modest and unas- suming and considers himself simply a servant of the people in a public office. MT. Bulkeley has the distinc- tion of being the last man in Berlin to vote the old "Whig" ticket. Both political parties always endorsed him for town clerk, testifying to his pop ularity.
 In 1865 MT. Bulkeley was chosen representative for this district to Hartford. P. T. Barnum, of circus fame, was also a m member that year. MT. Bulkeley also served 0 years as registrar of voters, three years as collector of taxes and 14 years as town clerk and treasurer, being first elected to the latter office October 4, 18SO
 He has always been very active in church affairs, especially in his younger days, and is a member of the Congregational church and Ecclesi- astical society. He was also interest ed in the library for the town, having been instrumental in obtaining the present library for the town which formerly was private.
 MT. Bulkeley is, without doubt one of the most active men for his years that lives today. He looks more like man in his seventies than in his n1neties and his stride is that of 8 man in his fifties.
 Ninety years young would be the better way to express his age.
 MT. Bulkeley has never married. but the children of his neighbors and fr-in de. l,; joys and success in life mean just as much to him as to their own people.

 Bunce Returns From Overseas.
 Louis Bunce, son of Mrs. George Bunce, returned home yesterday after serving 10 months overseas. He en- listed in the hospital corps and was stationed at Mars -Sur-Allier, 8 town about 70 miles from Paris. A large numbe of German prisoners were taken care of at this station. They were almost hopeless wrecks when they arrived at the hospital being all cut up and torn by shrapnel with practically no chance of recovery. Litters of wounded came in at all hours of the night and day during the height of the battle. If a soldier ob- tained three hours sleep during the night he was fortunate for the wound ed and dying came in at all hours.
 Some of the German wounded after they were able to leave the hospital came around to the staff and thanked them for the kindness shown them, a thing almost incomprehensible to them. They seemed unwilling to re- turn to Germany after the treatment dCCOTQCQ tnem.

What this town needs is a large number of tenement houses and bun galows. Plainville's growth would be by leaps and bounds if there were proper housing facilities in the town.

endeavoring to unravel the mystery Of

Of strychnine poisoning, evidently taken
with food which he ate on the night of
August II. last.

Frank Phillips. father Of DeForest, who
died on January 16, 1918 at the Phillips
ranch near Castner Coulee, also carried
strychnine in his stomach and was buried
without a suspicion Of this. there has
been no light cast on the tragedy and
1t remains as much a mystery as ever
County Attorney Bennett is still con-
fident the case is not one Of suicide and
that someone put the poison in the food
which caused the death Of both DeForest
Phillips and his dog, it being the death
of the canine which aroused suspicion
and caused an examination of Phillips
stomach following his demise

RECEIVE NO MORE
DEMANDS FOR AID
However. County Board Expects
More Drouth Stricken Farm
ers Want Help.

County commissioners have received
no new petitions asking for aid from
drouth stricken farmers since Monday
when thhe first instrument Of this kind
was filed with the board. Members Of
the board have not as Yet yat given any
consideration TO the petition already re-
ceived but will do so as soon as possible,
as they realize If the county IS TO ex-
tend assistance to the farmers it should
be done quickly.
1t is believed that three or four more
petitions are now being circulated and
may he presented to County Clerk and
Recorder John T. Moran within the pre-
sent, or next week.
The past season has been a serious
one for the farmers of Cascade county.
this being the third successive drouth
year, and the county commissioners feel
certain some form If aid must be given
the farmers, although whether this is to
come in part from the county remains to
be decided.
