re4ltral's cause was shouldered
BY Capt. Forrest Burgess and Nell
son Colley, who accounted for ~
of the. IS points gathered by the
Mt. Pleasanters. This pair had their
optics fastened on the hoops.
Eastern was picked as easy WIN
ner over western, but the Lincoln
Parkers met determined opponent
and were given a close call for the
honors. The red-clad courtmen took
a nap during the second quarter
and thereby lost the game.
The Georgetowners fooled the
gathering by hopping in front at the
outset and riding ahead, 7-2, when
the first quarter closed. Then thtey
slumbered and Eastern went on to
collect % points while Western was
getting but four points in the sec
ond quarter.
Western frequently came within
two points OF knotting the score, but
the Lincoln Parkers always STAYED
off the tieing basket.
Wilson and Anthony Latona, the
Iightest and scrappiest player in the
series, starred for the losers. The
former totaled Is points, including
seven field goals of various descrip-
tons. Cappelli, Hogarth and Hoff-
man predominated for the victors.

This was on the tenth hole, Bill TAX

BOXING BOUTS In
MILFORD THIS WEEK
Tony COrtet And Sailor McKenna In
Eight Poppy Rounds

The management of the Milford
boxing bouts started the season by
giving the fans fine fight for their
money. Four bouts, as good as have
ever been shown in Milford, were
fought at the Milford open air arena
last Wednesday night. All Of them
were so exceptionally good that with
out program or announcement it
would have been difficult to decide
which was the wind-up. Each of the
four snappy bouts was fought to a
draw. In the wind-up Tony Cortet
of Washington, D. c., clashed with
Sailor McKenna in eight peppy
rounds. Sammy Slogan of Washing
ton, fought six rounds with Bobby
Grafton, of Baltimore. Billy Hawk
of Baltimore met K. o. Riley of
in four rounds. Eddie
of Washington fought six
rounds with Billy Burke of Balti-
more. The management promises
equally as good card for the night
of June 20. Anyone wishing to know
the program, can get one upon re-
quest through the mail, by sending

VIII Have Accommodations For
About so; VIII Cost $4,000

After years of effort and work,
the long-needed separate prison
building for women at the New Cas-
tie County Workhouse may be
erected soon.
At a special meeting of the trus-
tees held last week, Warden E..
J. Leach presented plans for the
new building. The New Castle
County Levy Court has agreed to
appropriate $4,000 for the project.
The proposed building will house
from so to go women. At present,
the female inmates are quartered in
one portion of the workhouse build
ing, and for a Ing time the condi-
tions under which they were quar-
tered have been recognized as un-
satisfactory.
Warden Leach and representative
of the Pauly Jail Building Company
of st. Paul, have been consulting
and working out plans for the new
building. The Pauly Company was
the builder of the present work
house.
The new women's prison will
face the Greenbank road to the east

STUDYING PROBLEM
OF AUTO LICENSING
Secretary Grantland Visits Mary
land And New Jersey For Methods

Secretary of State Charles H.
Grantland and William Ball, in
charge of the automobile Titling
Department, have been in Maryland
and New Jersey studying the sys-
TENS used by those states in issu-
ing automobile licenses.
For some time the automobile
officials of the Secretary of States
Office have been casting about to
try and develop some system that
would relieve the early rush for
new tags when the old ones are
still good. The practice of allowing
motorists to obtain license tags a
couple of months ahead of time has
helped some, but nothing has stop
ped the hectic rush and in many
cases, unavoidable mistakes and
delays due to the rush that has
come every year a few days before
the new tags may be used.
Mr.. Ball has an idea of his own
which if it can be worked out salts
factorily may be even still better
than the Maryland plan. His idea
is to make out a motor license filling
in the data of the present owned
car and also the amount of the fee.
Then, if there had been no change
in the car used all the owner
would have to do would be to sign
the application and remit the fee.
This would obviate mistakes and
delays because the data concerning
the engine number, weight, cylin-
ders and other facts recorded, would
be statistics in the hands of the
Titling Department, from which the
licensing petition would be made
up. If the owner bought new car,
however, new data would be re-
quired.
In any event, both Secretary
