RUTH, THE MOABITESS.

For the benefit of those who are not familiar with the story of Ruth the beautiful bible story, the presen- tation of which will be given at the Grand theatre Thursday night, below Is published a synopsis:
 Elimelech, driven by famine into Moab, dies there. His two sons, having married in this foreign land, die also Naomi, the wife and moth CT, returning to her native Judea, after the death of her husband and sons, dissuades the daughters-in-law from going with her. Orpah turns back, but Ruth cleaves to Naomi The two come to Bethlehem. Ruth goes to glean in the field of Boaz, who lnqulres concerning her and shows her great favor. At Naomi's s suggestion Ruth comes to Boaz in the harvest field and reminds him of his duty under the Judean law to her as kinsman. Boaz receives her kindly and promises to marry her, provided a nearer kinsman valves his right to do so. This kinsman de- clines to redeem the inheritance of Elimelech according to the manner of the times and so Boaz redeems it, taking Ruth to be his wife. She bears son, Obed, and becomes link in the ancestrial line of Jesus.

KIDS TIE UP IN
AIR TIGHT GAME

One OF tho prettiest baseball bat
ties staged on a local lot this sea
son, and in many other seasons. al
though Il went only five innings, was
the clash between No. 1 School and
No. 2s School in Grammar School
League contest az Fourth and
Church streets on wednesday. Due
to the excellent hurling OF the op-
posing boxmen, neither team was
able 70 score. II was perhaps the
best article OF baseball produced by
kid" mines in Wilmington IN many
a day.
Walker. doing mound duty for the
No. 2s's had the edge on Al Irons
for the No. Is. but Al was good
enough in the pinches 20 keep the
Eighth and Adams crew away from
the plate. only IS faced Walker
in the nve innings and he famed II.
Irons turned back FIVE by the strike
out route. The latter showed his
nerve IN the opening session when
he pulled himself out OF tight hole.
A couple Of errors aided in putting
three on with but one out. but he
retired the side without a score.
Rain halted the game after fivs
innings were played.

School SPIRIT
SEEMS MISSING
Polly Hy" Laments Pass
ing of One-Time Interest
in Athletics
2 CENTS IN HAT
AFTER BALL GAME
By POLLY HY

The man without a country was
in a terrible fix and. almost the same
predicament faces the athletic teams
of the Wilmington High School As
conditions now stand, they are
somewhat teams without a school
For the old school spirit IS not there
The baseball team with its fine rec
ord, appears on the local field for
its games with a following which
would not be Of credit to a school
of one-third or less the student body
OF the Wilmington High School.
The lack of spirit has cut down
the attendance woefully. Where
there should be at least 1900 to 1900
present, there is something like 200
or less. II may be that the lack OF
an enclosed field has something to
do with It, but this is hardly an ex-
cuse for such Indifference as IS
shown. With the sale Of tags and
collections, there were times when
only 2 cents were found in the hat
when passed around.
This Is an indication Of the de-
plorable condition into which the
good old spirit for the glory Of the
Cherry and White has dropped. Sob
story artists could find much mate
rial for copious copy in the ways Of
which the High School loyalty has
fallen.
Old grads. no doubt, would weep
in shame at the exhibition OF school
spirit shown by the largest student
body the school has ever had.
Not so far back. the classes had TO
witness a game no matter what the
price. but today It is different.

OF the teams in this speedy young

result is always in doubt when two
clubs from this loop go 10 the post.
DUPONT. the only aggregation TO
register two wins in the brace OF

'sThe offer OF Stranger Lewis

Robert Edgren. the veteran

But Lewis and his manager
knew quite well such a bout

Its a Fine Layout Fans;
NOlU For Some Sunshine

Tomorrov's league battles will
provide another flock OF good ball
games for the fans around these
parts.
Several outstanding games glare
forth from the program OF week
end tilts and at least three OF the
top-liners will be staged by City
Leaguers. one game. which TO the
mind OF the writer heads the list. Is
the setto between the Bankers and
Brokers Club and Defiance on the
Second and dupont loan. Defiance
has come through with colors flying
thus far and will be pitted against
an aggregation regarded as one Of
the toughest propositions in the cir
cult. although forced to taste de-
feat last week.
The Jack Jugglers have a mighty
array OF talent which playing any
where near up 10 form can cause
trouble for the best OF 'em. The
Bulldogs. with their lineup COM
posed mostly OF youngsters. have
already proven they are anything
but easy. with these combinations
opposing each other an excellent ex-
hibition OF the national recreation
should result.

prove OF unusual attractiveness 20

Eastiake fracas at Twenty-ninth and
Market streets and the clash of old
rivals, 81. Mary's and Seventh Ward.

tunity OF staging its rrst home game

Newport 20 try conclusions with the
ast-stepping Krebs krew.
The third games OF the nrst leg
will be played by the New Castle
County League season. New Castle
will journey to Five Points for their
first game with that club While the
the Five Pointers have been trounced
in their two clashes OF the year. the
boys from Fishtown do not antici-
pate an easy thing tomorrow
Marshallton will entertain It's old
rival from Herringtown and expect
another hard game. The boys from
Marshallton have been practicing

its student body Of some 1000, ranks
with the large high schools in the
east. It is a fact that other schools
show much better spirit than the
local institution. Students Of the
other schools think that they must
give their support to their team.
During the woodbury. game, the
Highlets were playing in the rain In
order 10 finish the game, so that
they could come through a winner
and give the school a more promi-
nent name in scholastic circles.
Just before the downpour, two Of
the High School boys went around
with a hat. After going around
three times they returned to the
players bench and upon being ques-
toned as to how much they got they
replied in disgust Two cents" The
boys then burst into laughter, tax O.
ing the statement as a joke but
when they handed the hat over TO
the manager the statement was
found to be true.
There IS another example, this
being with the tags. The team man
ager usually orders these tags, a
week ahead of time. The manager
distributes them among the athletic
representatives OF the respective
classes. The delegates soon get to
work trying TO sail the tags. The
day OF one OF the games, the dele
gates returned the left-overs and the
amount Of money collected. It did
not take the manager long to figure
that only 100 tags had been sold
This in a school of 1000 studentsl
Not enough was taken up to pay for
the printing of the tags.
At the. interclass field meet last
month, the school paid a big sum
for trophies. Ten students witnessed
the events, excluding those who
were participating in the meet.
A great deal of talk about an ath-
letic field is being heard. Should
present conditions continue, an ath-
ietic field would be burden to the
school.
When a mass meeting is sched-
uled. about a hundred or more stu
dents attend.
The mass meeting planned for
this afternoon cannot be held. Ac-
cordiDg to the rules OF the Fire De-
partment, the entire scholarship
cannot crowd into the auditorium
at one time.
Friends hope the students Of VIII
mington High will turn over a new
leaf and recognize the fact that
their teams need their support.

THE COMING SMASH.

You shake your head and mutter,
The world is in an awful condition.
| don't know what it's coming to."
Cheer up, brethren. The big
problems and unrests we have today
always follow the great wars that
come, roughly, every so years.
We have labor unrest, business
failures, undercurrents of mob ner-
vousness that occasionally resemble
mass insanity, and it takes a lot of
brain cudgeling to make both ends
meet.
Any old man will tell you that
they had, in principle, the same trou-
bles after the Civil War. They look
mightier now, merely because the
population is larger and the troubles
are staged on bigger scale.
The five-ring circus of 1922 is
fundamentally the same as the one
ring show that used to tour country
towns. 1t is bigger now, because the
audience is bigger, but there isn't
any more show per spectator" than
there used to be- So with troubles,
resulting from the war.
A wise nerve specialist, in h. G.
Wells book, THE Secreat Places of
the Heart" comments:
This sense of a coming smash
Is epidemic. It's at the back of all
sorts of mental trouble. 1t Is a new
state Of mind. Before the war il
was abnormal--a phase of neuras-
ihenia. Now II IL almost the normal
state with whole classes of intelli-
gent people. A loss Of confidence in
