Former Star of Giants
Will Manage hiMes

Arthur Fletcher. who will manage
the Philadelphia club of the Ma
tional League next season. is the
fighting type.
Fletcher is a pupil of the McGraw
school of baseball. He spent eleven
years with the Giants before being
transferred TO Philadelphia. McGraw
likes the fighters.
The new manager OF the Phillies
came to the Giants from the Dallas
club of the Texas League. Under
McGraw's direction he developed
into a star.
Coming to the Phillies in 1920 he
played one season, and then an
nounced his permanent retirement
from the game. After a year in
business the call of the diamond was
too great and he again donned a
Philadelphia uniform.
While Fletcher still has consider
able baseball in him, It is probable
that he will do much Of the manag-
ing from the bench. He will I'LL the
utility role.
AS a player Fletcher and the UNI
pires never got along very well. As
Il result Arthur was out of the game
quite a bit. 1t will be interesting TO
see II he Is able to curb his habit of
arguing with the umpire now that
he is a manager.
Fletcher Is SO years old, has al
ways been rated smart player. and |
having had the benefit of McGraw's |
instruction, should do well as man
iger. His material at Philadelphia,
however, is nothing to boast of.

Hit the Head Pin.
Seldom is a strike made II the head
pin is missed, but many a strike is
made when the ball hits the head pin
full, a hit that is usually regarded as
a possible split.
Great speed is not necessary to
success. Some Of the games greatest
bowlers use a slow ball, while others
prefer a half speed.
A half-speed ball gives the pins a
chance to work as the ball cuts
through.

Special to The Evening Journal.
LAUREL, Dec. 11.-Newark High
School football team defeated
Laurel High School here, Saturday
afternoon in the-game for the State
championship by the score Of SO to
10. The largest crowd that ever wit
messed a football game here, was
present, nearly every town in lower
Delaware sending large delegations
to the game. This made the third
consecutive year that Newark has
won the title.
Coach wilson's eleven was IN
auestionably the best team, but
Coach phil" Marvirs team put up
a hard and game fight. Newark had
a slight advantage in weight.
In the first few minutes Of play,
Laurel held the Newark boys for
downs on their ten-yard line, only
to have an offside penalty imposed
on them, giving Newark the bali on
LaureTs five-yard line. After that,
it was only a question Of Newark's
heavy backs smashing through for
the touchdown. Following Newark's
first touchdown, Laurel received the
kickoff and succeeded in getting
the pigskin within striking distance
Of Newark's goal line, when Coach
Marvil was caught coaching from
the side lines and Laurel was pen
allied 15 yards and lost the chance
for a touchdown.
Newark, with clever forward pass

slowly, but surely, down the field
for another touchdown. the quarter

In the second quarter, Laurel

nine more points, after which the
whistle blew for the end of the
game.
Newark's backheld, with splendid
interference accorded them, could
not be stopped by Laurers line.
Laurel was driven back fighting
every inch of the way. "Biddy"
Kitchens, the little signal singer of
the Laurel eleven, played his last
game for the high school and per-
haps played the best game of his
career, putting his team in a posi-
tion to score on several occasions by
spectacular runs, only to have the
chance for the touchdown spoiled
when the necessary punch could not
be produced.
"Pinky" Wootten also playing his
final contest for the high school, put
up a strong game. Ellis and Spicer
also played their last game for
Laurel High School. Matthews,
tackle. had his nose broken early in
the game but played the entire
game.
Newark displayed a stronger at
tack than their opponents and also
showed a strong defense. Whenever
their goal line was threatened. The
champions had a more versatile at
tack than Laurel and were especial
ly strong in forward passing. While
the entire Newark team put up
strong game the work of Captain
Hubert stood out.
The Newark boys expressed them
selves as well pleased with the ex-
cellent treatment accorded them and
commended the Laurel eleven for
their game fight. While both teams
fought hard the game was an un-
usually clean one. Newark did not
make a change in the lineup during

The telephone during the past score
years has grown from a luxury to a
necessity.
Should every telephone of the
United States suddenly.go out of order
and remain imperative for twenty
four hours the business of the nation
would be paralyzed. and untold hui
man suffering would ensue.
And Yet the telephone business is
hardly out. of its infancy SO experts in
this line aver. Wonderful inventions
lettering the service are still being
perfected. Plants are being enlarged.
A large business is growing even
larger.
From all parts of the country and
especially from the southwestern
states where the population is grow
ing by leaps and bounds, and where
new business concerns are established
by the hundreds every day, a con-
slant clamor goes up for telephones,
yet more telephones
The Southwestern Bell Telephone
company is consequently confronted
into the construction of new plants
keep pace with the demand for new
service which has been greater than
the supply.
The company has turned to its own
subscribers in order to finance addi-
tionaI facilities and to install more
telephones. 1t is offering this stock
on an easy payment basis. The idea
is that every telephone user should be
interested.
