NelOSies Re-organised,
Set for Strong Finish

Completely reorganized with a
new set OF rules, a more thorough
understanding between the clubs in
the race and a new entry-the Har-
Ian Apprentices-the Newspaper
League is now set to finish the sea-
son like a regular baseball loop.
Representatives OF the teams met
last night in The Evening Journal
Office and effected an organization
that is equal to any in the city.
The new rules will be effective
from next Wednesday, June 13. A
player limit Of Is men, under con-
tract, was the most important reg
ulation adopted. The contract
blanks are now ready for the man.

PHateS-mdidns Look
Good For Penndnt Fight

OUTER and the club generally has
been a disappointment.
The Yankees, possessing the
greatest wealth OF material in the
major leagues. cannot make a mil
lion dollars worth OF stars do ordin-
airy work. Miller Higgins has a
great ball team except for his out
field. his catching department and
three or four pitchers.
He has the great Babe Ruth and
a lot Of prima donnas. Babe wins
a game now and then with a homer
but he loses just as many with his
terrible work in the field. Wauy
Schang, who ordinarily ought 10 be
a first class catcher. has been no
better than the relegated Truck
Hannah.
The Boston Braves are proving
the surprise Of the National circuit
and the Cards after getting away
to n bad start. are rounding into
some Of the form predicted for them
before the start OF the season
Washington goes right along In
the American League winning
games. The Tigers are being kept
in the first division by Ty Cobb. who
is helping Iris Speaker to show that
a player can do things besides play.
The Browns. with all their hitting
talent. can't get along without
pitchers

Figuring the Fourth as the half
way mark It begins to look like both
the major league pennants are in.
The Pittsburgh Pirates and the
Cleveland Indians, close TO the mid
die Of the season, seem TO be almost
sure winners in the two races.
Both clubs are going along play
ing steady. easy ball, taking the
breaks we'll and getting the best out
OF their talent
George Gibson has been getting
good pitching all season and his club
is playing a great defensive game
as we'll as packing a good punch
in the pinches.
The worlds champion Indians
have been leading the league just
because they possess the stun OF
which champions are made.
Iris Speaker has had a lot Of bad
luck all season His pitchers, Cow
eleski, Bagby and Mails who ought
to win a pennant alone. have been
slow in getting away and had a
tough break TO overcome in the ac-
cidents that deprived him OF Bill
wambsganns and Steve ONeil.
The two New York clubs look like
runnersup. The Giants afflicted by
the ancient malady. inheld trouble

patents which are now in the hands
Of Americans.
According to constitutional law
yers in Congress. the Supreme Court
never has passed directly on whether
peace can be effected by congress
sional declaration. Some indirect
references are being referred TO as
evidencing a belief OF the court that
Congress has no such power.
"I believe the peace declaration Is
plainly unconstitutional, and will be
held so by the courts" said Flood.
THE Constitution clearly gives Con-
gress only the power to declare war
and it will be difficult to read into
the document that inference that
Congress can declare peace"
Representative Garrett. Texas, has
submitted to the House extracts
from the report Of the Constitutional
Convention which show that a move
ment TO give Congress the right 10
declare "war and peace" was defeat
ed by the adoption OF an amendment
eliminating AIt WNlAE anu I'eNNNs
It Is admitted that the resolution
is made more vulnerable to legal at
tacks by the changes made by the
House. Senator Knox proposed tc
repeal the declaration OF war. but

peace.

GO TO WORK ON
CITY DIRECTORY
Polk Co. Will Have Book
Ready For Distribution
in September
DELAY WORK UNTIL
AFTER MOVING DAY

Active work in collecting the in
formation for the 1921 Wilmington
City Directory was resumed yester-
day by Field superintendent Eacret
and a staff Of assistants from the
general headquarters of r. L. Polk
&, Company. which for several years
has. been issuing the local directory.
Mr.. Eacret and his staff arrived in
Wilmington yesterday. and immedi-
ately reported their arrival and the
resumption Of their directory COM
pilation to the Chamber Of Com
merce.
II will be remembered that last
February the directory people began
their canvass OF the city and after
having collected about sixty per
cent OF the names. discontinued
their operations at the request OF
the Chamber Of Commerce, for the
reason that the legal moving day
having been fixed as June 25, there
was a probability that a large per-
ocntage OF Wilmingtonians who rent
their homes would have made resi-
Dental changes, and this would have
resulted in an inaccurate directory
Il was considered that it would be
much more beneficial to the city tc
delay this publication until after
moving day changes had been made
and that II was much more impor-
tant to have one accurate directory
than an early one. Although this in.
volved a loss OF several thousand
dollars to the Polk Company. repre-.
senting salaries and expenses oi
their operatives. the directory people
readily agreed with the views o
/ Wilmlngton's business men, CLOSED
up their Office here. swallowed theii
financial loss with as much grace a.
possible. moved their field to Scran
ton, and promised to return here OF
July 10 start the work again.
The directory people have opened
an Office here and will carry thei
canvass through as rapidly as pos
sible. and hope TO be able to Civ
wilmington an absolutely accurate
directory by September.
The various enumerators will b
furnished with proper means o
Identification, and the Chamber o
Commerce requests that all assist
arce and courtesy possible shall b
shown superintendent Eacret an
his men.

ager Stewart Of The Star notified
Al Mowbray pilot Of the Bankers
that he would have to forfeit this

STANLEY HARRIS

At last a man has appeared on
the horizon of baseball who is
faster than the great Eddie Collins
in executing double plays around
second base
He is Stanley Harris. OF the Wash
ington Americana
Harris has the knack OF handling
balls from all angles and swapping
them on TO first base TO complete
the play a step ahead Of the runner.
Collins has held that speed honor
for a long time. but after Is years
major league service, has slowed up
some.
Harris is conceded by many to be
as fast in negotiating double plays
as Collins was in his prime.
