HarbesOn


Mr.. and Mrs. R. Rust of near Har-
beson entertained number of their
relatives and friends at a three o.
clock dinner on Saturday, January l..
Those present were: Mrs. Clara
Rust, Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Hudson,
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Rust, Mr.. and
Mrs. VIM. Green, Miss Grace Fleet
wood and Lloyd Rust of Harbeson,
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Hamilton, two
daughters, Margaret and Natalie and
son William of Philadelphia, Mr..
and Mrs. Vernon Burton and family
of Millsboro and Joshua Massey and
family of Milton and several young
people, who came in at a late hour.
Ice cream, cake; fruits, nuts, candy
and hot coffee were served at a late
hour, and the guests departed wish
ing Mr.. and Mrs. Rust bright, pros
porous and happy new year.
We feel we should reply to Sand
Hills letter of last week. It's sad
thing when individuals or a people
forget God Psalm 9:17, and fail TO
keep his commandments concerning
His Sabbath. Exodus 20:8-11. EVodus
S1:13-15; Exodus 1872. Ezekiel ~: Il.
These, and many more laws concern
ing the Sabbath are given in the Ola
Testament, and Jesus said He came
not to destroy the law, or the prop
hets, but to fulfil. Matthew 5:I.
It's true He said in Luke 14:5,-
Which of you shall have an ass OF
an OK fallen into pit, and VIII not
straightway pull him out on the
Sabbath Day? but Christ was founu
fault with for healing on the SAP
bath, as also in Mark S:1-5, Luke 10;
1915. His were deeds of love anu
mercy on the Sabbath.
Now, no Christian would uphoId
nor partake of the desecration OF the
Sabbath mentioned in your letter.
We realize one can fail in one polnI
of the law, and be guilty OF al
James 2:1O. One cannot expect to DE
either a drunkard or a glutton and
prosper. Proverbs 1921, nor lnherit
the kingdom of God. I~COr. 6:9-1V'
But we are so glad for verse H.
there is the remedy.
It is a serious thing according 10
the word of God to be a tale-bearer
or a busy body, Lev. 1915, Peter
4:15:16, 2 Thess. 3:11-12, Titus 81
Now dear friends read 1 John 2:lO,
and resolve to live the Bible ana
keen His commandments, for they
are not grievous 1 John 5:S.

TILDEN HATS
FRENCH TENNIS
STARS WINNING

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. % P9-The
French tennis trio, composed of Jean
Borotra, Jacques Brugncn and Chris
tian Boussus, met the first defeat
of their world tour when they were
beaten in three matches by Ph1la-
delphia players on the indoor court
of the Penn Athletic club here today.
Borotra, renewing his rivalry with
William t. Tilden, H.. former national
champion, was beaten 7-5, Ga. Brug-
non, national champion, was more
valiant but no more successful against
Manuel Alfonso, losing 1910, SO, 6-1.
Borotra teamed with Boussus, the
II year old left handed Gallo star.
in a double match and they were
beaten by Tilden and R. N. Williams,
7-5, GA.
The appearance being the. first OF
the French stars on an indoor court
since they began the tour which has
already taken them through South
America and which will later take
them to Australia and South Africa
they we're obviously troubled by the
limited space and the brilliant over
head lights.

EAST ALL-STARS
VISIT AS WEST
HAS WORKOUT

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. % P)-
While their eastern rivals visited
Stanford university today, the western
team rambled through heavy practice
for the east-west charity game here
December rs.
Coach Orin E. Hollingbery OF the
western aggregation turned his i'm
mediate attention to fitting three new
stars into places. They are Pat
Wilson, fullback; Wright, guard, and
Schulz, end, all OF Washington, who
arrived yesterday to complete the,
81 man squad.
Coach Andy Kerr took his eastern
players to Stanford where the big
red team is preparing for its contest
with Pittsburgh January 2 at PaSa-
dena. The east elevens practice has
been confined mostly to running
through signals and passing and
kicking.
Throughout the week, Coach Kerr
has emphasized on a backtield con-
sisting of Amos, Washington and
Jefferson, quarterback; Caldwell, Yale,
and Presnell, Nebraska, halfbacks, and
Joesting, Minnesota, fullback. The
two Yale ends, FishWick and Scott,
have seen most service in those posi-
tions with Doqds, Washington and
Jefferson, and Randells, Nebraska,
tackles; Baer, Michigan, and Hanson,
Minnesota, guards; and ReitScn,
Illinois, center This combination is
expected to start Because of the late
arrival of his players, Coach Holling-
bery'S team has not taken such
definite form as the eastern eleven.
Universities of Pennsylvania and
California, drilled steadily for theil,
game at Berkeley, December 81. Coach
Lou Young sent the Pennsylvania
team Through stiff Scrimmage, in
addition to centering on passing prac-
tice for half an hour. Wascolonis,
fullback, opened the eyes OF few
privileged spectators with I, his speedy
and accurate toSSes.

1t is fitting and proper that Walter
Johnson should be the hero of the
greatest pitching feat of all time when
viewed from every possible angle.
In this connection, it is rather
interesting coincidence that I made
my debut in the American league just
one year ahead of Johnson, that UNI
pired his first game, that I worked in
his outstanding effort and that we
both retired from active service on the
field almost at the same time.
1t was back in 1908 that Johnson
turned in three-game performance
that 1 doubt will ever be equalled, par
ticularly in these days of the lively
ball.
The feat that I have reference to

New York sent the famous Jack
Chesbro against Washington in an eff
fort to break the Johnson shutout
epidemic All Walter did was pitch
his best game of the three, this time
blanking New York, 40, allowing only
two hits
In about the seventh inning of the
third game, Johnson was hit on his
pitching arm with one of Chesbro's S
fast breaking spitballs. The game was
held up at least five minutes while
the Washington trainer gave Walter
first aid. 1t was evident that he was
in great pain during the rest of the
game.
During the 15-minute rest between
games, Johnsons arm became stiff and

AVERAGE POTATO CROP

WASHINGTON H9.-Prelimlnary re-

was the shutting out of the New York
club in three successive games. In
those days we had the single umpire
system, SO 1 was the only official in
charge of Johnson's record breaking
performance.
What makes the performance all
the more remarkable is the fact it
really happened in his first year,
for he served only few months
in 1907.

getting better in each game, allow
ing six hits in the first, four in
the second and two in the third, is
the greatest hurting performance

Sidered.

HOW WALTER DID 1T

AS I recall it, the first game was
played on Friday, September 4, 1908
Washington won the game, 80, be-
cause johnson was in great form, al
lowing only six hits.
Shutting out the Yanks in those
days wasn't miracle by any means
so Johnson's very excellent perform
ance received only passing considera-
ton from the scribeS
On the following day, Saturday, Joe
Cantillon, manager of the Washington
club, hard pressed for pitchers, sent
Johnson back at the New York team.
He pitched another impressive game,
allowing only four hits, Washington
winning, 60.
Since Sunday nali wasn't legalized
in New York state at that time, John
son enjoyed day of rest after his
two shutouts. The second shutout
caused the experts to give Walter
much space for his two meritorious
performances.
Two games were scheduled for
Monday, which was Labor day,
both to be played in the after
noon. CantillOn set New York to
talking when he announced in
Mondays papers that Johnson
would pitch both games.

badly swollen. Had it not been for
that, Cantillon would have sent him
back to get four straight shutouts.
To me those three shutOuts in
successive games, with the pitcher
