Possibly there were times when l

more determined and a~ssertive, and
especially I might feel this now and

Aunt Enid. but on the whole any
change Of the kind would have made
him different from the Uncle Ralph
whom I Knew and loved; and assured

But I was never quite sure to what
extent Celeste shared in the feelings
of the other servants toward their
master and mistress. In the first

Ralph, I think, was a little afraid OF

even the less careful motorists drive cautious
|ly in the presence of recognized dangers, such as
steep grades, sharp curves, grade crossings, etc,
while the absence Of such dangerous features gives
the driver a sense Of security which prompts him to
take a chance and yield to the well-nigh universal
passion for speed"
Few accidents were due, it was found, to the
condition of the roads themselves and most of those
were due to slippery surfaces caused by rains.

AS IT WAS.

While the people of the county are all wrought
up over the world series baseball games, it is inter
estlng to read some of the accounts of ancient games
which are being given to the public in various peri
odicals.. Not long ago the statement was made that
IN the matter of home runs, Babe Ruth, the modern
wonder, was a mere amateur, as in the early days of
baseball, the player who could not knock out one
halt dozen home runs in a single game was scarcely
considered worthy to Weld the willow. Scores, how
ever, were not as low as they are usually in these
days, and it was quite customary for scores in a
single game to run up into the 20s with no discredit
to any of the players. One can imagine the public
comment on a game of this character today.
Baseball has undergone a wonderful evolution,
and SO have the costumes in which the games are
played. In the early days the knickerbocker style
was not at all popular. The forefathers of the pres
ent players were addicted to the practice of wearing
long trousers, and a moving picture of one of the
.old-tme games would reveal a surprising vista of
long trousers with wide bottoms, ballooning with
the compressed air with the rapid motion of the
players from base to base, until the baseball field
would resemble nothing else in nature. A writer
IN Leslie,s who describes this feature says that a
view OF the field would suggest more the billowing
sea instead OF the green diamond.
Ibis modern marine effect would be ~accentu-
ated by the practice Of the players OF those days Of
wearing: various forms of facial adornment in the
shape OF whiskers. Today a bearded baseball play-
|er would be regarded as a remarkable animal: but
the old players were quite frequently full-bearded
dHd almost always wore at least the form of ador11-
ment known as burnsides, and as this was custom
|ary among sailors, there was still a stronger resem-
blance between the baseball field and the ship sail
ing the vast deep.
To-Day everything in connection with baseball
has been reduced to a science. Everything has been
discarded which will interfere with its efficiency.
The relations between pitcher and batsman have
been 90 delicately balanced that runs become a rar;-
" and the players have discarded everything which
can catch the wind, whether in the form Of bappv
trousers Or flowing boards. II IS a demonstration
Ct efficiency carried TO the nth power.

unable to use their garages for three
nights. This complaint was referred
to the county engineer and the COM
missioner from the district.
The same course was taken on a
complaint from Delaware Grange at
Newport, objecting TO persons from
Wilmington dumping refuse along
the Newport pike. The grange also
said this road should be repaired.
