Without seeming too partial, we are
anxiously awaiting the invasion of
the Eastern stronghold by some teams
like Centre College, Iowa and Chi
cago. Those who believe the United
States extends westward to the vicin-
ity of Pittsburgh are advised to
bring their smelling salts along when
these teams clash with Harvard, Yale
and Princeton.

How about a big game between
Newark and Elkton sometime this
season.
Newark post. (Newark, Del.) 1910-1969, 1922-10-11
ON THE LINKS

The officials of the Newark Coun-
try Club have planned a decided in
novation for the members this week.
The affair is designated as Tomb
stone tournament and is open to all.
Briefly, the scheme is as follows: "a
is taken as a base. Each entrants
handicap is added to this number and
the total is the number of strokes he
must take. He is given small Amer
lean flag at the first tee, and when he
has made the last stroke allotted him
he plants the flag alongside his ball.
Figuaratively speaking, he is dead"
The winner is, of course, he who gets
the most distance for his allotted
strokes. The regular rules governing
play are in effect and all holes must
be played in order. The addition of
each players handicap to "a brings
all entrants down to an even level.
The idea is novel to say the least,
and the course will probably resemble
the scene of a Fourth of July cele-
bration at the finish of the event.
The heavy rain on Saturday, al
though bringing great discomfort to
the players and gallery, was well
come relief to the caretakers OF the
course. The parched ground was sad
1v in need of the moisture, and only
diligent attention to the greens
throughout the long dry spell have
kept them in good condition.
One of the directors of the Club
stated last week that two hundred
and twenty members are now enrolled
and more are coming in. HoW's that
for the first year?
Now if the officials would only
stage "younCsters" tourney, with a
snecial list of emit nj hoaded by Dr.
George Harter, D '.'-@ 80 t'' ~
Motherall, as the feataro, IT, 'all
ro,,rnament season would be COM

urday proclaimed this fact. More
powers to this great game.
Former Delaware athletes are

Joe Wilson is here in Newark build

Magee is putting Dover High on the
map in football way and has the
whole town back of him. Joe Roth
rock is the mentor of the Milford
eleven and should turn out a good
team, while further down the State.
the inimitable Phil Marvel is working
hard with his Laurel outfit. The State
championships shall be worth watch
ing this year, for all these men know
the game from the ground up.
The much heralded supremacy of
the East in collegiate is due for a
shock this season. Here we have

To Resume Receiving
Tobacco Tomorrow

The local loose leaf floors will re-
sumo receiving tobacco tomorrow af-
ter having been closed for the past
two days due to congestion on the
local brakes. ON Thursday of last
week the association began giving an
additional advance on the crop which
will amount to about two cents on
the pound and will make the crop
bring an advance of between 10 tnd IL
cents per pound. On last Friday 1885,
900 pounds brought an advance of
$10.65 per hundred. The local house
will be open through Saturday of this
week for loads or parts of crops al
ready registered. but after that day
only complete crops or barnlots will
be received, Farmers should register
their crops for delivery after Christ
mas now, but do not register crops
that have not been stripped.

The case went to the jury at 1910
O'Clock last night and the jury was
summoned by Judge Shackelford at
midnight, asking for report. They
had been unable to agree and, show
ing the strain of the long day in the
court room, asked to retire, which re-
quest was granted. Meeting again
his morning, they reached a verdict
W thin short time.
The trial OF Scobee Hardman, fol.
lowing the brutal murder of Leon

dealer. which occurred at his home
last July, has been one of the most
widely di scussed cases tried in Ken
tucky in years, Both parties were

Array of legal talent was engaged on
each side. Indicted by recent Clark
county grand jury are Mrs. Nancy
Kathryn Renaker, widow of the slain
man, and Reese Fox, a close friend
OF Hardman. who were charged with
conspiracy. However, now that Hard
man has been found mot guilty" it is
not likely that either of the other two
parties under indictment will ever be
brought to trial.
Leon Renaker was well known in
this city, where he lived when small
boy when his father was associated
In the poultry business with the late

1t is said that the general opinion
prevailed in Winchester that Hard

weak case and the verdict was a fore

and taken to Lexington, where they
were lodged in jail. Charlie Ballard
was badly wounded, but, with a pis-
tol in each hand, made his escape
through the officers and into the open
country to freedom. However, his
wounds were of such a serious ma
ture that on Saturday he sent for the
sheriff of his county. who placed him
under arrest near Preston, Bath couB
ty. and took him to the jail at French
burg. On Sunday afternoon he was
removed to the jail at Lexington,
where he could receive medical atteD-
