WHY NOT PAVE 1T?
Solomon Resident Wants Road Made
Right First Time

Solomon, Oct. 23-Editor Reflec-
tor: The controversy about the Solo
mon Abilene road is not one Of unwill-
ingness to have a decent highway but
because we are not exactly certain
that graveling Is the thing to DO.
With the hard surfaced road extend
ing west and soon to be from Abilene
to Kansas City it will be just mat
ter Of time when it will extend to
Solomon. We have signed a petition
for this already and 1t has been ap-
proved by the county commissioners.
Congress is to pass in few days an
appropriation that will give federal
aid for the road. Why not pave it
now and be done with It? The farm
ers along the line are not busy and
all could get employment during the
winter which is worth thinking about.
The west end of the county is pay
ing for hard surfaced roads all in the
east end of the county. We have pc
titioned for one also and 1t seems to
me that there would be sense in CIV
In" ". ~. this short piece of road and
complete the program across the
county. Half way work such as
,craveling o trunk line Of highway
never gets anywhere; II we are to
make a road do it right. The west
side Of the county has something com,
Ing to It and We are pot enthusiastic
about makeshift road II we can get
federal aid for real one.-Erasmus.

are to be divided up this year.
Never since the power plant Of the

water been SO low, according to OBJ

After Jack Townsend left Seaford
he joined the Phillies, and made
good from the start.
In the earlier days Seaford used
to hookup sometimes with the fast
Wilmington teams. The "old-timer"
remembers when the Americus and
Quicksteps of Wilmington used to
come down. They were some games
and witnessed by big crowds. The
late Gen. W. NJ. Ross was a great
baseball fan at that time, and, on
one occasion, while he was manag-
ing the team the Americas were
shut out here 6 to 0. Seaford i'm
ported a battery from Baltimore
Gardner and Haddock-for this
game, Gardner playing under the
name Of Davis. This battery also
trimmed the Quicksteps that same
season, as well as Pocomoke City.
which at that time was represented
by a crack club. This team kept on

n. Y, and have already won high
honors on the athletic field There
are 67 Delaware boys at the r. O.
T. G. camp at Plattsburg and several
Of them are among the crack ath-
letes of the university. Delaware
sent a larger contingent Of students
to this camp than any other uni
versity or college in the middle
eastern district The following let
ter from one Of the Delaware boys
tells OF honors won in an athlete
meet on the Fourth Of July.
"On the Fourth OF July the ath-
letes from the University of Dela--
ware unit Of the R o. T. c. camp
at Plattsburg scored "a Of the 81
points scored by the second company
of which they form the larger part
and which company won first place
in the inter-company meet Ten
other companies took part in the
meet. The fourth company COM
posed of students from Virginia
Polytechnic Institute, Lehigh,
Georgetown University. Drexel In
stitute and Lafayette won second
place with a score Of 33, and the
first company composed OF students
from New England colleges secured
third honors with a score OF Is
points.
THE feature Of the meet was the
consistent point winning of the Dell
aware men for the second company.
The individual honors were won by
Pitman 30 University Of Delaware.
He opposed the fast field in all three
of the dashes, the 100. 220 and 440
and won them all An event which
proved a sensation was the neck and
neck finish in the half of mile relay
race, which was won by the Della
ware teams composed of Keith OF
. Dover, Lynch Of Lewes, Hoey OF
Dover and S. G Smith of Whining
ton. Keith sprang a surprise ear
lier in the day by winning the broad
jump.
'The other point winners from
the second company were Huston OF
| Syracuse second in the shot-put;
France of Delaware third in the 120
yard low hurdles and Williams of
Delaware third in the javelin. The
meet has its significance TO the roi-
p, lowers Of the Delaware men. in THAI
it indicates the strength OF the
University Of Delaware athletes in
the coming intercollegiate track
meet which will be held Saturday.
July 9. The Blue and Gold men
expect to bring back to Delaware
several individual cups as well as
the team cup which will be award
ed to the team scoring the most

There is every indication that

own will win the inter-company

phia on Thursday. The Wilmington
Butchers won by the score of II

tails and saw that they were carried
out to the letter. The Wilmington
Butchers are high in their praise for
the good time they were shown.

Wilmington Shark Doubly
Favored For Honors in

LADY JANE WINS
OVER CRUISERS

ATLANTIC CITY. N j., July a.
After careful check and re-check
OF the summaries. the committee last
night announced the winners Of the
12O-mile ocean race from Essington
to Atlantic City. June 24-25. under
the auspices Of the Yachtsmen's
Club. Chairman Joseph L. Bailey
declared that the delay I'm decisions
was caused by the inability TO gather
data. While the names Of the boats
were given. the committee in some
Instances found it could not offer
the owners or the clubs which were
represented. as some Of the records
had been misplaced.
The Shark. owned by Horace G.
Eastburn. Wilmington Motorboat
Club. was doubly favored. She won
the actual time prize with her rec
ord Of Il hours SIS minutes and a.
seconds. This announcement was
made at the finish OF the race. but
It was later questioned on a protest.
which, however, failed to hold when
acted upon. The Shark was also
awarded the beautiful cup OF the
Delaware River Yacht Racing Asso-
citation when voted the best equip
ped boat in the race
The Lady Jane, owned by Mrs.

They Cdshed Well in Game
They're accused of Disgracing

an early start for his home in Green
vile, S. c. Williams worked through
until the start of the season and re-
turned the next fall after his part in
the blackened and blighted worlds
series.
In those days before the big
gambling plot and bribe was dis
closed. Lefty" found solace in the
bosoms of his shopmates. whose
sympathy went out to him on the
bad days he had during the series.
They told him they had laid down
their hard cash, so sure were they
that he and his mates would come
through.
While the series were being play
ed, some Of tl~ boys sent daily wires
to Lefty" some Of them reading
like this:
pitch your best today, Lefty
we're all with you"
Little Claude never came back to
Harlans for another job and to seek
the solace of his shopmates. It was
terrible blow for the fellows who
worked alongside of williams, for
he was held in high regard by all
Of them. He was known as "the
ball player who worked" From this
it can be gathered that there were
some who drew down their coin for
their efforts on the diamond only.
Some enlightening facts have
come out since the new case against
the 'Black Sox'' started. One
Illuminating fact is the salaries re-
ceived by the players as published
above. The amounts are not as big
as generally conceived by some fans.
but we know a sport writer in per-
fectly good working order, maybe
several OF them, who could keen the
gnashing. snarling and hungry wolf
from the door with the smallest OF
the salaries mentioned.
Another Illuminating fact is con-
tanned in the charge that seven of
the former Sox players collected
nearly S1o9, 900 in graft and salary in
1919. OF this amount they received
S43, ,425.02 in salary. bonuses and
percentage share in the world series
with Cincinnati. Sixty-five thous-
and dollars in addition is alleged to
have been picked up in bribes so a
gambling syndicate might gouge the
public for s1.OOO.O 900 on a sure
thing.
At the hearing in Chicago there
was some sarcastic references to the
ball players salaries as compared
with that drawn by Ban johnson
president Of the league
The ball players on trial hold
themselves aloof from the gamblers
who herd in their own corner. The
Levi brothers. Louis and Ben, Of Des
Moines. sit with their fellow-towns
man, David Zesler. Carl Zork, o.
lSt. Louis, sits near them.

Local fans are watching with in

Chicago White Sox, known today as

with selling out the American League

Joe Jackson and Claude Lefty

Gus duties in the front line trenches

the government paying the enor-
nous price while providing these

Jack Dempsey was ridden the
country over for his alleged bit in
the great war at shipyard, and
every day ball players who used the

OF the throngs as national heroes.

Joe Jackson couldn't be seen for
