HummelI in Great Form

After losing a close contest to the
local team at Greenwood a week ago,
the Greenwood boys played a e
turn game here Saturday, and were
easily defeated by Manager Sylves-
ter's aggregation.
Hummel, though somewhat out of
condition and a trifle wild, walked
two opposing batters, but was mas
ter of the situation at all times, fan
ming thirteen.
Manager Sylvester led his team
mates with the stick, getting a clean
slate out of four trips to the plate.
He fielded his position in faultless
style. The playing of Messick, a col
lege star, of the Greenwood team,
was easily the feature of the visit
Ors.
The Harrington team is composed
of the high school championship
boys, together with several past To-
cal stars. Manager Sylvester,
through his efficient coaching and
inspiring leadership, is rapidly
moulding the local team into an ag-
gregation of star ball tOssers, ready
to meet any team of local ball play
ers in Kent and Sussex counties.
A game is scheduled at Lincoln for
next Saturday, with the fast travel
ing team of that place. Hummell or
Welch will be available and will
probably be pitted against Britting-
ham. A hard battle is anticipated.
Manager Sylvester would like to
book a game for the Fourth of July
in the morning, playing a return
game away from home in the after
noon.

The Departed.

John B. Jinx is dead and planted,
peace and rest to him are granted,
precious boons we all should covet
when we're old and bent and tired;
yet his. friends are wildly wailing,
heavens gates they are assailing,
with their fierce cxpostu!ations that
so good a man expired. He has
crossed the silent river in Old Char
on's floating flivver, he is done with
tribulation, taxes bother him no
more; he is done with punk diseases,
done with flu and all its sneezes, and
there arc no docs and druggists,
waiting. waiting at his door, He is
done with weary toiling, there's no
pot to keep a-boiling in the, sunny
fields of Eden where the saints are
playing Tyres; where angelic strains
are swelling no one needs to soak
his dwelling for the price of shoes
and clothing, gasoline and rubber
tires. No one hands him now a
warning in the early hours of morn
ing that the boss will shrewdly dock
him if he is a minute late; strikes
and walkouts do not grind him, and
the drivesmiths cannot find him
when they'd raise fund of money
to repair the town hall gate. All
eternitys before him, there is moth
ing that can bore him. as the aeons
roll serenely as the genial ages flow;
why, then, all the heartsick weep
ing? Why are friends and neigh
bors keeping dreary vigils in the
boneyard, with the panoply OF woe?
