WON OPENING GAME

The newly organized base ball club
under the management of Mr.. I. D.
Putnam, opened the season, on Becora-
ton Day and defeated the strong Rich
ardson Park team by the score to 3.
The game throughout was one Of the
most interesting and exciting ever
played on the local diamond. Several
of the home players pulled off stunts
that are seldom witnessed outside of
the big leagues, and their efforts to do
real teamwork were in evidence
throughout the contest. The. battery
work of Collins and Weber impressed
every fan present with the fact, that
this combination will be hard problem
for the visiting teams 20 solve.
The locals jumped on Tinsman in the
first inning, and after pounding the
ball to all corners of the grounds and
piling up runs, the Richardson Park
manager, pulled Tinsman off the firing
line and replaced him with Greenwell.
While he checked the heavy sluggipg,
the home team found little difficulty in
hitting his delivery safely.
Manager Putnam is to be congratu-
lated for the excellent showing his new
aggregation made in their initial game
and when it is remembered that Rich
ardson tark, is one of the strongest
teams in the state, the victory of Mon
day bears evidence of both good ball
playing and management.
The score follows:

PURE BRED CATTLE
Mr.. J. !. Dayett Of Cooch's Held
His Third Annual Sale
FORTY CHOICE ANIMALS SOLD

Another history making event in the
dairy industry of Delaware passed into
oblivion on Thursday, May "a, when
Mr.. ]. l. Dayett, of Cooch's held bis
third annual sale of pure bred cattle.
The day was all that could be asked,
and fairly good crowd was in attend.
ance. Forty choice animals were offer
ed. and were sold in about three hours
time for an average of $255. so.
The record priced cow was Miss
Cornucopia Pontiac Korndyke, q two
and half year old heifer Of good dairy
temperament, having geod barrell and
good size. Her dam has q Z day record
of 5O5.9 pounds of milk, IS. oil pounds
of butter. Miss Cornucopia freshened
at the age of q months, and at that
time made q record of BAL pounds Of
milk and 15.1 pounds of butter. She
was knocked down for the record price
of $50.
Another prize offering of the day
was heifer calf, sired by King of the
Sadie Wales, SO pound bull, and whose
dam is Lillian Sonora Hamilton. a Is
pound two year old. The dam of this
calf was an outstanding show cow of
large size, straight lines, marked dairy
temperament, deep Darrell, and good
udder: The sire is one of the leading
at Wintertnur Farms, and needs no
further comment.
Colantha Segis Canary, another two
and half year old with outstanding
show type, and an unpublished A. r.
0. record. just completed on Mr..
Dayett's farm, under the care and
management of his herdsman, Mr.. Les
lie Ford, did not bring forth the spirited
bidding she deserved, and it was with
difficulty that Auctioneer Ford pro-
cured somewhere near her value.
Some unexpected comedy was in
jected into the sale, when the 2 year.
old, Idewild Molly Vale, succeeded in
eluding her would-be trainers three diff
ferent times, hurdling the front of
Ford Car, and when finally driven back
toward the barns, tried to hurdle a
horse and carriage, but missing her
aim was soon apprehended by the
would-be punchers, and met her fate
on the auction block.
Other exceptional animals offered
were, Cinderella Cornucopia DeKol, q
9year old COW, bred to a 80 pound bull,
and having day record of 505.9 lbs.
milk, 25.01 lbs. of butter: Chico DeKol
Pieterje, year old with day re-
cord at years, of 555. 5 lbs. milk, 23.71
lbs. of butter; Mapleside Canary.
year old with a senior 3 years old, day
record, of 449.3 lbs. milk, and 21.7 lbs.
butter.
One noticeable thing Of the sale was
the bidding on the bred 2 year olds,
which was more spirited then on the
older animals, even though the latter
had records. A regrettable feature of
the sale was the lack of enthusiasm
shown in the bidding on some of the
young bulls. With a county that can
boast of but about 15% pure bred sires
and with dairymen reluctant to pay
much over veal value, it lsads one to
the conclusion that a large proportion
of dairymen have very little interest
in the improvement of their herds.
