In the American League erratic
tossing cost both Philadelphia and
Cleveland their games with Washing
ton and Detroit, respectively. Chick
Fewster'S wild cast on a double play,
resulting in three Tiger runs, paved
the way for Cobb's men to win, to 3,
and liberal distribution of passes
among members of Stanley Harris
championship contingent by Pitcher
Lefty Groves gave Washington a
6-to-2 win over the Athletics.
AS a result, Washington today is
place-only one game behind the pace
making Indians.
The Yankees, who moved up an
other notch at the expense of the
Red Sox, 3 to ], today will be faced
with heavier going when they open
return series with the Nationals at
Washington.

over the White Sox, today will at

Tobin and Robertson yesterday helped
the Browns out of the cellar with
home runs, which figured materially
in clinching a tight game, 9 to s.
A home run by Val Picinch was
the only tally Boston was able to
collect against the fine pitching Of
Sam Jones of the Yankees and that
run was insufficient to save them
from the league pit. The Red Sox

way in the seventh, Bluege doubled
and got to the plate when Peck fol-
lowed with a one-baser.
There was one out when the Ma
tionals did their final clouting of
Groves in the eighth. Harris and
Rice singled, and after Goslin famed
Judge slapped base blow to right,
counting Bucky and sending Sam to
third. A moment later Joe was
trapped off first base, but before he
was run down Rice tailed.
Baumgartner passed Bluege and
was hit by Ruel in the ninth, but
nothing resulted.

Miller Higgins. who bosses the
Yankees, had been holding Urban
Shocker in reserve for today's en-
counter in Clark Griffith Stadium.
Shocker upset the Nationals in New
York a week ago yesterday and
though he was roughly treated when
he essayed a relief role last Friday,
Hug figured his spitballer was the
man to stop the locals in the opening
fray here.
Robert, Moses Groves is finding it
difficult to go well in the big show.
His start yesterday was his third as
Mackman and although he remained
in the game against the Griffs longer
than he did either time he faced the
Red SoX, his work was not so i'm
pressive. Lack of control appears to
be Lefty's principal fault.
Groves was bad medicine for Goose
Goslin, however. The National slug
ger stepped to the plate four times,
but got nowhere. Twice he grounded
to the pitcher, lifted to the outfield
once and on the last trip famed.

SCHOOL ATTENDANCE
SHOWS GOOD INCREASE
Reports From All Sections OF The
State Indicate Splendid Gain
Over Last Year.

Attendance records at public schools
| Throughout the state, outside of Will
lmingtOn, indicate much more salts
factory results than even those of
year ago, which were considered
very good. Reports from all the dis
tricts have not yet been received
but the first one to come to DR.. H.
" Holloway, State Commissioner of
Education at Dover, is from the east
Sussex county schools.
This report shows that on the
honor roll of that section there was
placed, the past month 78 rooms as
compared with So last fall. The
number of pupils who made the
mark of perfect attendance during
the month totalled 1,500 as COM
pared with 1850 of 1924.
This record, it is believed, will be
pretty general throughout the other
sections of the state. The attend
ance, DR.. Holloway believes due to
the steady progress being made by
the school system of the state and
to the added interest being taken by
parents in seeing that their children
receive the best education possible.
It is the parents who decide whether
their offspring shall attend school
and when they want to keep them
at home they do so, school or no
school, so that in the end, the par
ents are to be commended for send
ing their children regularly.
In the question of holding schools

nittee cutting down the number of |

GROUND BROKEN FOR
new HOSPITAL ELEVATOR
When Completed, Bed Capacity of
Institution viii Be Increased

Ground was broken this week for
the brick elevator shaft to be built
on the east side of the Milford EN-
ergency Hospital building. The
management hopes to have the new
elevator completely installed within
the next six or eight weeks. The
shaft is to be of fire proof structure
connecting with the sun porch and
will be most convenient for all
floors and for ambulance cases as
well. The shaft will be heated the
same as the rest of the hospital and
equipped with the latest safety de-
vices and comforts that a modern
elevator can afford.
The elevator is to be furnished by
one of the largest elevator builders
in the country and the construction
work is being done by local con-
tractors. When it is completed the
hospital will have an increased cap
acity of about ten beds which at the
present time are much in need.

FTREMEN FIGHT BLAZES
ON SLAUGHTER NECK FARMS
Bennett Home Gutted Wednesday
Night. Straw Stack Burned

The Carlisle Fire Company re-
sponded to two calls for aid in
Slaughter Neck last week. The first
call came about midnight on We'd
nesday when fire was discovered at
the home of Walter Bennett, at
Argo. The Benefits were awaken
ed by smoke, and investigation
showed the flames were rapidly
spreading. They managed to get
out of the building and give an
alarm, but were unable to save
much from the building. The fire
men made quick run to the burn
ing building and were able to put it
out. The entire interior was gut
ted, but the building itself was
saved.
Last Saturday evening IN alarm
was blown from the Milford Fire
Station which called the Carlisle
Fire Company to Slaughter Neck,
where a large rick of straw was
burning on the farm opposite to q.
H. Draper's home farm. It was To-
Gated about $50 yards from the out
buildings on the farm, but the Fire
men remained by to prevent any
danger from fire starting, as the
sparks were blowing directly on
the old buildings. The rick of straw
was entirely destroyed but no other
damage resulted.

STATE DRY AGENTS
WILL WORK SECRETLY
Last Thursday Saw Introduction OF
New Method of Enforcement Work

Last Thursday marked the formal
beginning of the reorganized Fed
eral prohibition enforcement mach
inc in Delaware and throughout the
country.
At midnight every enforcement
agent in the State was officially
dropped from service. Several,
however, have been again employed
but their names will not be an
announced, it was said at the Fed
eral Prohibition Office in Whining
ton.
George A. Hill, of Bridgeville. is
supposed to be known to the public.
The active working forces are to
work secretly. In this way, General
Lincoln c. Andrews, Assistant Sec
retary of the Treasury, Washington
Who is now commander-in-chief of
the cOuntry's dry forces, believes
more effective work can be done in
combating rum runners and booze
makers, although the force of oper-
atives numerically is smaller than
it was.
The personnel of the prohibition
contingent in Delaware is entirely
in the control of Edmund Budnitz,
Baltimore. administrator of the Six
tn Federal Prohibition District, en-
bracing Delaware, Maryland and
the District of Columbia. Deputy
Administrator Hill. however, will be
in direct charge in Delaware, and |
will personally supervise the work |
from the State headquarters in the !
U. S. Engineer Building.
