.DAMASK TAKES
SECOND PLACE
DR.. Cary T. Grayson S
Gnome Breaks Down As
He Enters Stretch.
BY HIGHWAY.


Harry Payne. whitney's star was
in the ascendency at Laurel yester-
day afternoon. 10 rthe two prize
.3year-olds. John =. Grier and
Damask ran first and second, re-
Ispectively, in the rich Annapolis
Handicap. with $4,000 added.
John T. Grier was always in COM
mand OF the smart field which op-
opposed him, and he made the mile
and ane-half route in the remark
ably fast time of 2:30 S-5. which is
within one second of the track rec
ord for the distance.
DR.. Carey i. Grayson's Gnome,
the Whisk Broom ed-Fairy Sprite,
which created n sensation in New
York when ne raced Sir Barton to
a nose finish, was installed the ia
vorite for the Annapolis, but had
the misfortune of breaking down
just as he drew up on almost even
terms with Johr P. Grier coming
into the home stretch. This regret
table incident was a distinct shock
10 the sulTCrtsrs OF GnonH, who
supported him with rare confidence.
Damask was finishing fast in the
stretch and many believed that he
could have beaten his stablemste
had he been given an opportunity
by Jockey Cetilleti. The Porter
ran an even race. The others were
never contenders.
Capt. Raj Parr accounted for the
secondary feature. The Nanticoke," ;"
six furlong dash, with his Ken
lucky Derby entrant Rlazes. BlaZes
won handily from Dr. j. S. Tyree's
Or. Joe and Dunn's ST. Quentin.
The first disqualification of the
meeting came in the first race for
maiden two and three e-year-ol Ids.
when Dinty Moore interfered with
CIopton's Pitter Patter. Dinty
Moore's disqualification gave sec
ond money to Pitter Patter and
third money to CIyde's Dantzig, one
which was out for the first time
under coloTs.
This event was Won by J. X. L.
Ross Irish Dancer, CeIt colt which
made up for the very bad race he
ran the last occasion he was sent
TO the barrier.

to the home folks but those looking
for drama were out of luck.
Batting and Pitching win.
1t was Cleveiand's in the way of
both batting and pitching and
these are the two elements that
usually predominate. When one
club has both the argument is soon
over.
The one man who held down the
score for Brooklyn was Hi Myers,
the alert centerfelder. In the sec
ond inning. after Seweil and O'Neal
had hammered Cadore for base hits,
Jsmieson raped line drive to left
center. The smash was ticketed for
the two base country when Myers
dashed over, hauled the blow out
of the balmy air and then whirled
In time to double up O'Neill at
second. Considerable piay--one of
the best Of the afternoon.
But even this fine play fell below
his mark in the fourth when Evans
tammed a low line drive to center.
Myers came pounding in on the hit
with his two stocky legs working
like the piston rods of an engine.
Five feet from the ball he dived
headlong and scooped IL UP with
his gloved hand, rolling merrily on
his way for many feet before he
finally had enough back spin left
to stop. In recognition of this gal
liant effort the 10000 fans broke in
to extended applause.
Good Enough to Win.
Clevelands opening dash was
good enough to win. After Jameson
had gone out. Wamby walked.

him. Speaker then Tailed on Gard

with every bank and trust company
in the state enrolled and with officials as
well as membership cordially responsive
to the call for public service and the adj
vancement Of the commonwealth, the
Delaware Bankers Association, at the
recent annual convention at Rehoboth,
again demonstrated its right tn the dis
tinction Of being one Of the finest organiza-
tons Of bankers in the United States /"
> - Today the association is unquestion-
ably the most potential factor in the state,
in not alone advancing the standards Of
banking and trust company conduct and
Legislation, but in promoting agricultural
interests, the scope Of education, the en-
couragcmcnt Of Thrift, and the establish
ment Of agencies 70 secure greater economy
and proficience in conducting the affairs

COMPLETE CENSUS Of
STATE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Provided for in Unique Card Sys-
tenn Inaugurated This
Week.

A unique syste m of rec ord cards, which
promises to give Dclawa re first pla CO
for accuracy and speed in the tabulation
of school statistics, Is abs orbing the at
te ntion of Delaware 10 achers. According
20 TIE plan recently adopted by the State
Board of Education. individual record
cards are provided the teachers for every
child enrolled in the schools. The cards
60 back and forth each month from the
teacher TO the off ce of her county or
special district superintendent. The facts
are first written in by the teacher, and
upon their return, compiled and tabulated
on counting machine, such as is used by
the Census Bureau mt Washington.
The cards, mailed out from the central
Office this week. have been planned with
the one idea of tightening the work of the
teacher. The information asked for in
the greater number of instances, requires
only check mark after the item already
printed on the card After the first month
only i've entries per month are required.
The cards ask Tor the number of the dis
trict, the child name, age and nationality;
for a report on the physical defects as
taken from the record tie in the school
room, following the visit of the school
physician; for the total number of days

absence, also the number of times tardy
during the month The child's parents
names are requested. also his classification
according to occupation; the distance the
home is from the school, whether trans
portation IS furnished by the State and
whether or not the child is promoted at
the end Of the wear. The expectation is
that the attendance" record card" viii
take the place Of all other attendance
records in the State
The cards, upon their return to
central Office each month, by the teacher,
are reduced 10 the terms Of a code, counted
and tabulated in the counting machine at
rapid rate. The result is a complete
school census brought, month by month,
up to date.
The entire attendance record plan is
part Of an extensive State campaign for
better school attendance in Delaware and
it will furnish information invaluable to
the State Board Of Education in formulat-
ing their building plans for the future.
