MARSHALLTON HERE
Fast Game Scheduled for
Frazer Field on Saturday

The baseball fans of Newark are
assured a good game on Frazer Field
next Saturday when the locals clash
with Marshallton in a New Castle
County League baseball game.
The local team showed in it's game
on Saturday that it is out to win the
remainder of the games on the sched-
ule and Manager Steedle is working
his hardest to see that this accom-
plishment is fulfilled.
The nine showed in the game in
Yorklyn that the ''pep" and fight is
there and that the bringing out of it
helps lot toward making a ball
game easier to play. In the former
games of the season the Newark team
has been listless in it's play but moi
so last week.
The local management expects that
the largest crowd of the season will
be on hand for the game on Saturda.
and preparations for handling of sucl
a crowd are being made.
The locals have a chance of gettin,
out of the cellar in the first half an
are fighting along this line now. /
pennant winning team is the expecta
tion of the local management for tn
second half of the league season.

Newark Looks
Good in Defeat
v,rk,vr Team Has Hands Full in
Beating Reconstructed
Local Nine

5A1though defeated by Yorklyn on
co+nrdav by 3 to 2 score, the local
4oom Of the New Castle County
League played one of its best games
of the season.
The came was played at the Snuff
+own and the Newark nine made the
1ospue runners-up step every minute
If the yyay. 1t was not until the
ninth inning that Yorklyn sent over
its final marker that won the old ball
game
The addition of living, Steedle,
Ramsey and Williams who made their
first appearance in local suits on Sat-
urdav helped a lot and it was Twing's
home run in the sixth inning that sent
both Of the local runs over the plate.
The drive went in the stream that
runs through the outfield of the
Yorklyn diamond and was one Of the
longest hits of the season on that
field, A glimpse at the box score will
show that both teams fielded in top
notch shape there being only one
error charged against each team.
The weakness with the locals at the
bat was the thing that lost the game
for Ramsey twirled an excellent game
but Newark was able to come through
with only four hits and this was moi
sufficient to drive across enough run:
to win ball game.
Manager Steedle had his player.
full of "pep" on Saturday and this il
one of the reasons that the club mad
such a good showing against the fas
Yorklyn nine.
Jimmy Mayhart, third baseman o
the Yorklyn club, probably saved tn
game for his team when he took a no
liner off Bland's bat in the last par
of the game with first and second oc
cupied. 1t looked like a sure hit unit
Jimmy wrapped his hands around i
Had this drive gone through the locs
team would have at least tied tn
score.

BABE GIVES UP
Claims That He Cannot Equal Last
Years Record

After Babe Ruth had clouted out
his fourth home run of the season in
Chicago last week he predicted that
he could not equal his record of last
year. But the Bimbo said that he did
expect to overcome the handicap of
Ken Williams and Roger Hornsby,
the two St. Louis sluggers who are
leading their respective leagues in
four base wallops.
Last year the Babe set a new
record of fifty-nine circuit clouts but
he was suspended from the game six
weeks this year and therefore fell
way back of his record.

We heard something in the subway
of Philadelphia the other day that
brings us a thought. A little girl
travelling with her mother wanted to
know why there was much more noise
in the subway than on the streets.
The mother of the child explained the
noise as "Canned noise," claiming
that the cars of the subway made nc
more noise than those of the street
but that there was no way for the
noise to get out.

For Agreement for Army

BRITISH DELEGATION
DENIES DEADLOCK
we Are Building a Bridge
Across a Turbulent Stream
But Are Progressing.

GENOA, April l5.-(U. P,)--Allied
and Russian delegates to the econom-
ic conference this afternoon reached a
complete agreement on the ,liquida-
tion of Russia's old debts soviet dele
gates agreeing to recognize the valid
lily Of all Russia's debts contracted
previous to the war. This is regarded
as victory for Lloyd George, who
hopes teSmake a successful conclusion
of the debts transactions previous to
the recognition Of Russia and finally,
e. an sGreemept. Whereby EprQpea can
nations pledge themselves from at
lacking each other for "a term OF ten
years.
The basis of the compromise agree
ment Lloyd-Georpe hopes to effect his
ends is understood to be: That Russia
will fully recognize all debts contract
ed previous to the war by the old Rus
sian regime, thus satisfying France;
from, this basis transactions for offset
ting Russias debts with her claims
against the allies would be carried on.
Russia maintains these claims are for
damage. incurred In the, various anti
bolshevil campaign would more than
offset claims against her. The British
were concerned today lest the wide
spread reports of deadlock in unof-
ficial negotiations here would defeat
Lloyd Georges aim and prevent him
from returning TO London with an
other triumph to use against foes
seeking his downfall. Lloyd George in
an authorized statement today said.
1--WE are building bridge across tur-
bulent stream. 1t is a difficult job.
but we are making headwayl" The
British say the situation confronting
the conference as result of conflict
ing Russian and French claims on
debts is very delicate but deny a
deadlock. e
