AS there is important business TO

up for the past several meeting
nights, due to lack of attendance,
President Lawson urgently requests
every member to be in the associa-

right for a midnight endurance

to take the run.

people to use the modern improved

home until early in the morning.
Strange how these wives rave if their

however, if they never get home

PENN SM0THERS
DELAWARE FIVE

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Jan. 26.-
Old Penn buried little Delaware in
weightman Hall last night in the
annual basketball game between the
two universities. Penn won by S7-17.
after all kinds OF basketball good,
bad and Indifferent, had been demon
strated.
The affair last night started at a
miserable pace. A batch Of fouls
called on the Blue and Gold marred
the play. Penn had rolled the count
up to 1870 before Delaware broke
into the scoring column at all
Throughout the first half the visitors
were so closely guarded that they
scarcely had a good shot at the bas-
ket They Tailed a lone field goal
during the twenty minutes of play,
when Lowell, the center, tossed one
in from the side of the floor.
Bill Grave and Pos Miller set a
fast-scoring pace for the Della
wareans. each scoring four field
goals, and, just to add to the spice,
Grave also pocketed nine fouls,
which gave him II points for the
evenings entertainment.
SO tight was the Penn defense
that the visitors were held to three
field goals. while Penn rung the
basket for an even dozen.
Lovells foul tossing was feature
for the Gold and Blue. He made IL

Funny things happen in baseball.
1t is always safest to take nothing
for granted.
In a series at Boston last year be-
tween the Red sox and Athletics, I
saw two unusual happenings that
changed the entire complexion Of the
game in which they occurred.
Both were entirely unexpected.
one Of them. freak home run, won
a game for the Athletics. Another
drive that ordinarily would be good
for a home run. and turned out to
be nothing more than single, saved
a game for the Red. Sox.
At the Boston park the score
board occupies a big section OF the
left field fence near the foul line.
The figures used on the board are
perhaps 10 inches square. Since all
the American League games, as well
as the Boston National League
game, are reported. there are prob
ably 100 spaces on the board.
1t is customary for the boy
who is operating the board to remove
one OF the figures in the section al
loted for extra innings, so he can
view the game through the opening
thus created.
Just before Moore came to bat in
the eight or ninth inning. the boy.
getting interested shifted his View
point from the lower section Of the
board to a spot near the top.
Moore obliged by hitting the ball
through the opening for home run.
Had 1t simply struck the scoreboard
It would have bounded back on the
field and Moore would have been
held to a single.
That hit OF Moore's won the ball
game. It was a fuke home run II
there ever was one.
A drive over the left field fence at
the Boston park is worthy OF home
run The fence is about three or
four times as high as the ordinary
barrier. because of the shortness Of
left field. In deep left center there
is big clock used for advertising
purposes that extends high above the
fence. perhaps six feet
Welsh, playing center field for the
Athletics, is a great "kidder." He
had been ioshing a number OF the
Boston players throughout the game.
and they had been returning the
compliment. Late in the game
Welsh hit a terrific drive to left
center II was labeled a home rur
from the very start.
Walsh was positive It would clear
the fence He jogged down to first
base. where he said pleasant things
to the players on the Boston. bench.
When he reached first he even stop
ped and passed the time OF day.
Then the unexpected happened.
The ball struck the top OF the
clock. buonded high in the air and
came down into playing territory
Had Walsh ran out IN hit he would
have gotten two, probably three
bases Instead he only reached first.
Connie Mack spoiled a new suit on
that hit. He slid from one end Of
fhe bench 10 the other.

As the two kidnappers made their way to the railroad tracks they grum- bled at each other
 Jim, you always were a fool for rushin' off without givin' a thought of where you were a goin'. If you had stopped a minute, we might have come by the road for the shortest cut is not always the best>to reach a place
 That's right, ninny! Stand up and preach! It will do you so much good now it's all over. If you don't like this way, why did you come? Or
 before you started, why didn't you suggest the road idea? I like people who follow like sheep, never havin' an idea of their own, but who wait until all is over and then begin to complain and ask why you didn't do this that
 "Oh, bosh!" said his pal I'm tired of listening to your gab."
 Choo, choo, choo, Here comes another train and it is
 going so slowly that I think we can swing on. If we can, that will be better than goin' to the station to try to get in a car, for there won't be | anyone a watchin' to keep people 1 from getting on.'
 l Just as the kidnappers attempted l to board the train, a cattle man on 1 top Of one Of the cars poked a long pole he used to prod his cattle in 1 their faces and kept them off. He ] laughed at their discomfort and they l in turn shook their fists and swore vengeance on him. But that was all [ the good it did, for the train passed 1 by and they were left standing by the 1 railroad tracks in a most disconsolate
 mood.
 l What shall we do now?" asked l Tom.
 1 But before Jim could answer it was decided for them, for a, farmer | had set his two bulldogs on them and 1 they were forced to take to their l heels and they only avoided the dogs | by climbinng up on a. high pile of 1 railroad ties beside the track and fighting them off with q, long stick of wood until their master called them l off.
 l The farmer had not seen the l tramps, but had heard the dogs bark 1 ing at something and sicked them on. So when they kept on barking, he decided the dogs had chased a cat up a tree, and called them off. 1 And here we will leave the tram ps 1 for the present, to see what Billy and 1 his friends have been doing in the meantime.
