TO MY GUESTS

When a balance sheet is cast
On endeaVors of the past,
And the surplus shows ones losing
in the race:
1t is well to rest awhile
Weary hours to beguile-
To determine if wood Wills been
given place.
Good Wills a inclusive thing;
1t may joy or sorrow bring
Thru sheer plenty or thru absence
lowering near.
To determine what it's worth
Is a task as big as earth,
Yet we prize it and value it most
dear.
Other assets waste away,
Deteriorate from day to day,
But good will suffers not thru lapse
Of time. ,..
Truly it may disappear, ,@-
Or may grow from year to year;
Its possession is akin to the sub
lime. .--.-.
Just to foster such good will.
In our hearts more love instill
Is the reason that 1 asked you meet
me here.
For my good will that you hold
I desire to you unfold
May you treasure that which I hold
very dear,
I am glad to have you here,
Glad to know we are so near,
May you oft return until we all grow
old
And on thru the coming year,
May you be of right good cheer,
And your good will be enhanced a
thousand fold.

Manager Crouch of the Milton club
last week quoted himself as saying:
"Petry was bought by Milford, had
bet down on Milford or he is utter
ly incompetent. In either case he is
not a fit official for the Sussex COun-
ty League, and I shall protest to
President Cooke against his assign
ment to games played by the Milton
club. Rather than play game where
this man is to off1ciate I will forfeit
every game. There is no room in this
league for incompetents or dishon-
est umpires."
While we admit the umpiring was
bad in this particular game, we take
objection to the remark that "Petry |
was bought by Milford" as to the !
betting we don't know-but give this |
umpire the benefit of the doubt, as
we did not hear of such large |
amounts of money being wagered as
to cause anybody, even an umpire,
to lose his self respect.
Manager Crouch, it would be bet
ter for you, and also the success of |
the Sussex County League, to be
sure of your statements before quo
ting yourself. Be a sport and re-
member the umpire has the hardest |
job in game, and most of them try
to be impartial-could you want
more. Milford doesn't need to buy
the umpire to win. And if they lose
they don't make the umpire an alibi.
Think it over well.
