BUREAU OF MARKETS
TO CERTIFY APPLES
Official Inspection OF Late Crop To
Commence September Is, Con-
tinuing For Fifty Days.

For the past two years Delaware
has shipped a larger percentage or
graded fruit than ever before, and it
has been proven that careful grading
and packing means larger returns to
the growers and satisfied customers.
Now, in the interest of better grad
ing and packing, the State Board of
Agriculture, through the Bureau Of
Markets, has arranged for official ship
ping point inspection on late apples
beginning September Is and continu-
ing for fifty days. This inspection will
be done by experienced government
inspectors. Two inspectors will be To-
Gated in Delaware, one at Wyoming
and one at Bridgeville, the two largest
shipping points.
Arrangements for inspection at
other points can be made by making
application to the nearest inspector
and furnishing transportation. If at
any time the inspectors are not busy,
growers may take the inspectors to
their packing houses and be instruct
ed as to packing and grading in their
own orchard without cost.
This inspection can only be made on
the request of someone who is finan-
cially interested in the fruit; that is,
the buyer, the seller or the Jranspor-
tation company. The charge will be
S5 per car, which will be paid at the
time the inspection is made, and paid
by the person or firm who makes the
request for inspection. This charge is
less than one cent per bushel, and it
is a known fact that officially inspect
ed apples bring a premium in most
markets of from 10 to 25 cents per
bushel over the ordinary fruit. This

DOVER WINS SHORE
LEAGUE PENNANT
Jiggs DOnOhO's Team Wins By Con-
sistent Playing During Last
Three Weeks Of Season.
CAMBRIDGE PROTEST FAILED
Last Minute Efforts OF Maryland
Town To Gain Penuant By
Protest Route Fruitless.

Dover base ball fans have been
wearing broad grins this week, for
their team last Saturday clinched the
pennant in the Eastern Shore League
for 1928. The pennant was won when
Dover defeated Salisbury two games
on Saturday afternoon. Cambridge,
the runner up in the fight was idle on
Saturday and Dover's wins made it
impossible for Cambridge to win the
flag. Two games were played between
Cambridge and Dover on Monday. Do
yer winning the first and Cambridge
taking the last.
Fifteen straight victories and to-
tai of % wins out of the last rs starts
was responsible for Dover taking the
pennant. This record was made in the
face of a hard schedule. During the
past two weeks, four double headers
were played in close succession.
With only three pitchers in work.
ing condition, Manager "Jiggs" Dona-
hue faced a serious problem, but was
greatly helped in solving it by the
willingness of Humphreys and Plank
to pitch both games of these double
headers. Humphreys pitched both
games of a twin bill on two occas-
ions against Salisbury and won all
the games, while Plank won two
games in a single day from Parksley.
In reviewing the season of the team,
it might be said that their success
was due to the fact that they would
never give up. A good majority OF
their games were won in the closing
innings of the games, after the op-
posing team had secured a lead. On
several occasions ninth inning rallies
were responsible for putting another
game in the won column.
The team has had almost unsur-
mountable odds against them during
the season. On a former occasion
when they reached first place after
a hard battle, the Milford team was
penalized and withdrew from the
league, and a number of games was
taken out of the lost column of every
other teams in the league except Do
yer, with the result that Dover was
forced down in third place and Cam
bridge went from third to first. In
spite of this handicap, the team kept
on playing and about two weeks ago
was again III ufSI pldC6s Ill LA0 nOeeh-
time an effort was made to have a
game lost to Milford on July Fourth
taken out of the teams lost column,
but was unsuccessful, as President
Thawley of the league had given per-
mission to Milford to play the extra
class players in this game.
One of the best moves made by the |
Dover management was the purchase
of Harvey Macdonald from Pocomoke.
While he was a natural first baseman,
the local team placed him in left field
where he made good in every depart
ment of the game. His consistent hit
ting was a great help during the final
days of the pennant drive.
Dover's pennant was not awarded
without protest, for Cambridge made
two attempts to have Dover penalized
on the "class player" issue. A final
decision was made by the league di-
rectors on Tuesday and the pennant
was awarded to the Delaware team.

FREDERICK ROAD OPEN

After having been closed for several
weeks while the roadbed was being
rebuilt, the road over the causeways
at Frederick, were thrown open to the
public late Sunday evening. The dirt
roads over the old causeways leading
into Frederick had become very rough
during the repairs of the stone road,
and the detour was a great inconven-
ience to automobilists who were us
ing the road. The opening of the Fred
erica road leaves but one detour be-
tween the Maryland line and Odessa,
this being the long detour from Five
Points to Dover. 1t will be several
weeks before the new stretch of road
being built from Cooper's Corner to
Dover, which has necessitated the de-
tour, will be opened to the public.

Old Gangs Effort Get Sheriff of Daniels County Fails When
Jury Brings In Verdict of Not GutyAty. Cudhie and
Judge Conner Strongly Rebuked By Taxpayers
COST DANIELS COUNTY NEARLY 5000 DOLLARS

Monday evening at Glasgow after
listening for some time to different
witnesses on both sides, the jury
brought in a verdict of mot guilty
in the case of The State VS.. Al. Lawr-
ence for criminal assault.
This is the end of a long series of
frameups to get Sheriff Lawrence of
Daniels county, who the old gang and
booze peddlers do not like.
The case first came up before the
Justice of the Peace and the Judge
dismissed the case, but this did not
satisfy the old gang, so Cudhie was
hired as attorney to prosecute the case
in District Court.
At this time Judge Conner played
a very important part. 1t seems that
he ordered County Attorney Nyquist
to file the necessary papers to bring
up the case in district court, which we
understand Atty. Nyquist did not
wish to do as he considered the evi-
dence insufficient and he did net want
to create a big expense to the county
for something that he knew would
fail in the end. But he did as he was
ordered. The next procedure was the
appointment of Atty. George Cudhie
as assistant prosecutor in the case by
Judge Conner. This was a rather un-
usual procedure as Attorney Nyquist
did not care for the services of Atty.
Cudhie as he felt capable of prosecut-
ing the case without any help. Then
to help pile up the. expense on Daniels
county Judge Conner allowed a change
of venue to Glasgow, Valley county,
and there the trial was held.
Large numbers Of witnesses were
called by the old gang to try to prove
something and it is reported that they
nearly filled one large hotel in that
city. But they were disappointed.
BOOTLEGGERS DISAPPOINTED
! But the bootlegger's fraternity was
doomed to disappointment both in the
Judge and jury. 1t appears that
Judge Borton did not perform as he
did in the Beisel1er case and his in
structions to the jury were clear ans
to the point, leaving no doubt in THEN
mind as to the way they should decide
And so the case is settled. Al Lawl-
ence is not guilty of assault and is
still on the trail of the bootleggers
and gamblers in Scobey. They have
not succeeded in soaring hing in the
least. George Cudhie is greatly dis

Last Wednesday evening at $3.50

ended with a score of to 3.
The game was just as close as the

Plentywood started the game out
with a rush annexing a score in the
first inning, Medicine Lake goose
egged. Both teams gOOsegged in the
second and third, but in the fourth
inning Medicine Lake scored, making
che tally to / in favor of Plenty
wood The fifth and 9Th innings were
without runs for either side, but in the
last half of the lucky seventh, Plenty
wood got busy and annexed two more
runs, making the score to 1 in the
last half of the seventh. But Medi-
cine Lake was not yet through and
in the first half of the eighth they
started bombardment, which coupled
with an overthrow netted them two
scores, making the game stand to
in favor of Plentywood. AS neither
team scored in the ninth inning the
game remained at to 3 in favor Of
the home team.
Both teams fielded well, although
two overthrows were made by a Plen-
