Special to The Evening Journal.
NEWARK, Aug. 19.--S. r. Derby,
a former crack athlete at the uni
versity of Illinois, has been appoint
ed Assistant Professor Of Physical
Education az the University Of Della
ware, to succeed Professor J. NJ
LeCato. who resigned to accept a
position at JOHNS Hopkins Univer-
sity. The position of Mr.. Derby as
to sports at Delaware as far as can
be learned, has not been definitely
defined. but II is known that he will
come here the first OF next month
to at least assist in coaching football
and win also coach track sports next
spring.
Mr. Derby comes to Delaware
highly recommended Since gradual
ing from the University OF Illinois,
he has had several years experience
coaching colleges and high schools
in the Middle West. He also grad
uated from the coaching school OF
the University OF Illinois. where he
was under the direction of Coach
Zupke, who is regarded as one Of the
most successful coaches among the
higher colleges and universities.

years as an ensign in the Navy.
Coach Shipley. who is now at Po-
comoke City. Nd. managing base
ball team there, plans to take a
squad Of Delaware football players
to College Park, University OF Mary
land. for the preliminary training.
Owing to the fact that the opening
game of Delaware's schedule is Sep
tember "a with Penn, at Philadel-
phia, only two days after the uni
versity opens. il is necessary for the
football men to report early in Sep
tember for the preliminary training.
Coach Shipley will probably have
the men report to him here from
September 8 to s. and after securing
the equipment the squad will then
leave at once for College Park. This
win give about two weeks for pre-
liminary practice before the Penn
game. This arrangement gives Del
aware the opportunity to scrimmage
with the Maryland squad. The list
OF men who are to make the trip will
be announced in a short time.
Mr.. Derby, It is understood. will
also accompany the squad to College
Park. He was in Newark this week
and had a conference with President
Hullihen and Dean Smith. the latter
being president OF the Athletic Coun-
Gil. Those who met him were fav-
orably impressed with his personal
appearance.
Coach Shipley has made a winner
out of the Pocomoke City baseball
team since he was appointed man
ager some days ago. Under his
management the team has won 4
and lost but ] game. Seversl Uni
versity Of Delaware players are on

Baseball's biggest day around

counts. The schedule makers could
not have done better even IL they
had had the vision to look into the
future and been able 90 see the
standing of the clubs in the race.
Every one of the contests will be
between teams that are right next

fighting to climb to the position held
by their opponents.
With the possibility OF first posi-
ton changing hands again, of course
the long awaited clash between
Eastlake and the National Guards.
at Twenty-ninth and Market

attraction. Bastlake now holds the
lead by the slim margin Of a half
game, playing one more game than
the Soldiers, who were deposed last
week after suffering their first de-
feat.
Pop" Miller, pilot OF the Lakers,
intimates that his one desire OF the
season, to beat the National Guards,
will not be denied this time, espe-

is that so far as ever making money
on the mile and half-tracks is con-
cerned, Peter Manning is through
and that the bars will never be TAX
en- down for him.
August Q at North Randall track,
Cleveland, the great-hearted trotter
raced against time. He spun off
the mile in 2.OOA, shattering Uhlan's
mark in 1903 for five-year-old geld
ings by two and one-quarter sec
onds.
The time at the quarters for Pet
er's world record mile was 3O%,
3O%. 291k and 29A.
The trotter has been a record
smasher since he started in the
money races two years ago.
In October. 1919. at Lexington,
he equaled the worlds record of
2.O65k for three-year-old trotting
geldings.
Soon after that he was bought by
Gleason for $4,000.
A year later he won the Transyl-
vania, greatest classic Of the Blue
Grass country. In doing so he
established a new worlds record
for a four-year-old trotter for a
three-heat race.
He did his first mile IN 2.03. the
second in 2.02A, and the third in
2.O21z.
During his career he has lost but
one heat That was due to a bad
getaway.
His winnings for 1920 we're s26.-
$50. This year they will be moth
ing, outside OF possible exhibition
engagements.
From a sportsman's angle he is
priceless. But as a money-maker
for his owner he is a useless toy.
He is paying the price Of having too
much trotting speed.

MIR. Crouch's Home Burned

About seven o'clock this morning
the residence of Mr.. Guy Crouch in
south Edgefeld was found to be on
fire: Mr.. Abney Parks discovered the
fire and gave the alarm. 1t seems to
have caught in the ceiling of the
kitchen. The alarm was not given in
time for the fire company to save
the building, as it had been burning
probably half an hour before the fire
engine reached the place. However,
the eight members of the fire COM
pany who were first on the scene
turned two streams on the flame in
few minutes after arriving and eX-
tinguished them before the building
was totally burned. The origin of the
fire is not known. Practically all of
the furniture was removed from the
building but it was considerably
damaged. Mr.. Crouch had insurance
to the amount of $4,000 on the build
ing and $500 on the furniture.
