Failing to come TO arrangements with
the Goldey College basketball FIVE, the
local Highlets ended their l9192O season
last Saturday when p. /. ID. dncelled.
The season has been backward one
for the Cherry and White boys, the
seasons statistics showing nine lost TO
three won. The schedule this year has
been one of the hardest taken on by a
High School five for quite a while, and,
despite the large number of setbacks,
only three were decisive victories. These
were handed by Trenton, Camden and
McKeesport quintets. who arc products
OF the best in ncighboring States and
champions in their respective sections.
The majority of the games were decided
by only few points, being won IN the
last few minutes of play. The hardest
blow of the season was the losing of both
Chester games. one point deciding the
fist. 25-24, in alien territory, while the
home game was decided by three points,
1920. Had these games been won, the
season would have been a success,
though the odds then would have stood
at Z TO 3.
This season, however, brings two new
faces TO the list of wcarors of tho w They
are Lentz and Gibson. The other mem

WINS CHAMPIONSHIP
Comes Out Ahead in Second Divi.
sion by Taking Close Game
From Penn-Del Quintet.

The right to the oity's championship
of the second division went to the De-
fiance Academy quintet when they beat
the Penn-Del five Saturday night in the
st. Patrick's cage, 25-22. As the score
shows, the game was close one, only three
points separating the teams The game
was attended by fans from both teams,

Penn-Dcl boys, while the Academy five

by hard fast play of both teams, although
at times it became quite rough.
Every man showed good form. Lex"
Gillespie had slight edge, perhaps, over
his fellow cagers, although every Defiance
man had something to his credit in the
score. Buddy Allen was Penn-Del's
best from the tally point, while his team
mates also gave good account of them
selves. The lineup was

To REPEAL DAYLIGHT
SAVING LEGISLATION
Railroads Decision to Operate by
Standard Time Will Move
Council to Act.

The daylight saving ordinance passed
by the Wilmington City Council recently
To take effect At the date which became
customary during war conditions, will
soon be repealed. it is predicted. Mayor
Taylor having already expressed his opin-
non to that effect
The reason is that the railroads intend
to run their trains, according 20 Standard
time, and the maintenance Of local time in
different communities would cause con-
fusion.
The City Council Of Philadelphia, which
also adopted the setting the clock ahead"
pan for this summer, is about TO re-
consider this action, If IT has not already
done so.
IL is not impossible that particular
employers may arrange with their forces
a timetable Of hours that will approach
the ono which prevailed under the clock
ahead system, although there is n ques-
tion of possible conflict with some OF the
employer liability laws.
The statement Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad authorities upholding the justice
of their action to ignore the cities says:
Irrespective of this particular situa-
ton, however, IL is not felt that a railroad
company engaged in interstate commerce
would be Justified in operating its trains
on any time except the standard time
recognized and established by federal
authority II an attempt were made TO
operate communication service on local
daylight-saving time, while continuing
through service on standard time, much
confusion would arise and errors would
doubtless result for which the railroad
company might be held responsible There
fore, il is felt that the only practicable
course Is TO adhere to'the standard time

II Is found that there is very

which white markings occur. Thus
the latter are by far the most common

of course a well-known fact that the
markings are apt to be more extended
