PENN MEETS DELAWARE
Peach State Nine After Third Vic
tory on Franklin Field

Delaware College, with record Of
having defeated the University of Penn
sylvania team for the last two years
on Franklin Field, will attempt this aft
ernon to make it three in n row. Roth :
rock, southpaw, who held the Red
and Blue in the hollow of his hand
last year while his teammates batted
out a hairline victory for him, will be
on the mound this afternoon.
DR.. Walter Cariss, Of the Penn nine,
expects to start Walter Larsen. the Salt
Lake City lad, who in his first start
hurled brilliantly. The Penn team is
due for a radical shake-up in the near
future unless the team shows Il re-
versal of form.
jim Canady. the former Southern
High School lad who played such a
beautiful game yesterday against the
Smith hardware team, may get chance
at shortstop. Canady has been on tho
injured list since the start of practice
from a broken elbow. Yesterday he
broke into the game which Penn won
o to 0, with a vengeance, playing short
stop like big Lacquer. He also con
tributed hit to the figures. But Myers
will in all probability be back at his
old post in right field when the game
starts ut 9 80 this afternoon.

VAUGHN OR TYLER
TO OPPOSE PILLS
Manager Evers Will Use One Of
His Star Southpaws This
Afternoon
BILL DONOVAN IS UNDECIDED

Johnny Fvers, boss Of the Chicago
Cubs. decided TO use one of his stnr
southpaws against the Phillies in the
second game Of the series this after
noon. He said it would be either
Vaughn or Tyler, with the odds in
favor Of fhe latter. Southpaw George
is in better condition and hasn't worked
for week. He also can stand the cold
weather better than Hippo.
Evers was elated over the showing
of Alexander in the opener yesterday.
Big Pete has been resting for a month,
and it was feared his good right arm
had failed him.
Holding the Phils to four hits in
six innings is good pitching" said
Evers. "Alcc could have finished the
game, bat as we had il won, thought
it best to take him out and give Free
man n chance. With Alexander in
shape we will win lot of ball games. /"
Bill Donovan did not know whether
he would use Meadows. Ring or, Hub
bel this afternoon. All three are ready
and it depends on who shows I'D best
IN warm up practice.

the William Penn Charter School to be
held at the Penn Charter athletic field
at Queen Lane this afternoon. The lads
who will compete for their respective
colors range from the lowest to highest

ways held on a Wednesday, and every
boy, large or small, who attends the
school must compete.
To date the Yellows have downed the
Blues fifteen times. while the latter has
walloped the daffodil colored ath-
letes on eleven occasions. One year the
race for the bunting resulted in n tie.
This peculiar happening came about in
1918, when both teams were evenly
matched and neither could get the ad-
vantage.

Peach Growers
Must Spray Again

FORT VALLEY. Ga, June 9.-The
new adult curculioS have been emery
ing from the soil for the past several
days, and all growers are warned
by government experts here to spray
Elbertas Immediately with arsenate
of lead and self-boiled lime-sulphur
to keep the second brood of larvae
or worms" from damaging the
crop. The appearance of these new
beetles was expected, and there Is
no reason for alarm on the part OF
the growers if the arsenical solution
is applied at once. Georgia Bellies
need no further arsenical spraying
if they received it the week before
On account of the new beetles now
emerging, growers are cautioned to
make the application to the Elbertas
very thoroughly. making an effort to
cover each side of the fruit with the
spray. Use the self-boiled lime-sul-
phur (32-32-200) to the four pounds
of arsenate of lead powder or the
S0-5-15 dust.
AS soon as possible after each
variety Is harvested pick up all fruit
on the ground in the orchard and
pull everything from the trees. De
stroy this fruit by burying with
quicklime. Do not leave it lay out
exposed. BY picking all fruits from
the trees soon after harvest all pos
sibility of brown rot cankers will
be eliminated. The gathering up o.
all fallen fruit after harvest will
eliminte sources of brown rot infec-
ton to the 1922 crop, and will also
destroy many curculio larvae there
by reducing the number of beetles
to winter over

NEW YORK-So many boy stories
about the youngest veteran of the
World War" have been printed that
1 asked the American Legion to set
tie officially just who is the young
eSt
Here is the answer: Sergeant Berne
L. Wooley, of Salt Lake City. SeE~
geant Wooley IS ELEVEN YEARS
OLD!
An exhaustive investigation cover
ing eight weeks was carried on by
the American Legion.
The records of many youthful vets
were examined. For a time A.
year-old soldier at Fort Riley, Kas.,
was believed to have the laurels.
But the Investigation disclosed that
young WooIey was officially enlisted
in the United States Marine Corps
when he was z. He was recently
honorably discharged In Salt Lake
City after years and days OF act
i've service.
When Sergeant Wooley's four
brothers went TO the recruiting sta
ton a week after America entered
the war, Berne accompanied them. He
made such an impassioned appeal to
be allowed to take on" with his
brothers that a \ compromise was
reached and he was permitted to en-
list in the recruiting division.
The name of Berne L. Wooley went
on the regular records. In 1920 a
shift was made and he was ordered
to Denver for duty. Later he was
stationed at San Francisco marine
headquarters.
In the meantime the boy had gain
ed two stripes as a corporal over his
original rating as a private, and later
he got three stripes as a sergeant
Now, following his honorable dis
charge, he is seeking admission to
the American Legion.
Sergeant Wooley's discharge cert
f1cate shows that he is responsible
for more than 200 men joining the
marines.

Liquor Charges Of
8 Years Standing Are
Revived In u. S. Court

Charles Anderson, OF Dawson
county, and Luther Burns, of Chero-
kee county, against whom liquor
charges have been pending in fed
eral court for more than six years,
were ordered re-arrested Thursday by
Judge w. B. Sheppard.
According to federal attaches, both
men are under the impression that
their cases finally were disposed of
years ago through the bond forfeit
ture procedure.
Back in 1915 both men were given
short jail sentences and small fines
for alleged violations of dry laws
They entered appeals, which We're
over-ruled. Their cases were re-as-
signed for trial-but never were
tried because they never appeared.
Assistant District Attorney Paul
Carpenter revived rne cases Thurs
day and asked Judge Sheppard to
forfeit the bonds ana order the de-
PENDANTS re-arrested This was done
and warrants were sworn.
Mr.. Carpenter indicated that other
old cases still on the court dockets
would be given the same direction

which caused brilliant auroras and

vice throughout the world may result

der Of the year, says Oliver Lodge,
the noted scientist. He declares 1T
is probable the monsoon will be
strengthened, and that in conse-
quence the Indian harvest will be i'm
proved. He even ventures the opinion
that the electrified particles thrown
off by the sun during the disturb
ance may assist in the deYelopment
Of vegetation and reduce the amount
of dust held suspended in the atmos-
phere.
turbances that attended the solar
eruption were due to torrent OF
electrified particles, which consti-
tuted gigantic electric current.
This opinion is also held by Camille
Flammarion, the veteran French
astronomer, who has expressed sur
prise at a storm of such unusual
violence occurring at this time. M.
Flammarion has pointed out that the
sun is now at period of diminish
ing activity, the eruptions on the
surface of the luminary recurring
Frank Dyson, the astronomer royal,
declares the disturbances caused by
the sun spots were the worst ever
experienced in England.
DR.. E. w. Maunder, founder of the
British Astronomical association.
who has for a long time made a
study OF sun spots and of terrestrial
disturbances which might be attrlb-
uted to them, definitely holds that
streams of electric particles thrown
out into space from the vast whir-
ling cavity popularity known as
sun spot, cause magnetic storms
upon encountering the earth's at
mosphere. DR.. Maunder has reached
no decision as to the effect of these
particles upon the weather, but he
agrees the subject is as yet to be
