BUCK HOST TO LEGISLATORS
Governor Entertains at a Dinner
and Theatre Party Monday Night

Governor c. Douglass Buck had
all the members of the 1881 Legis-
lature as his guests at a dinner
and theatre party on Monday
night. The dinner was held at els
o'clock in the Wilmington Country
Club. 1t was a social gathering
devoid of any political significance,
and provided an opportunity for
the Governor to become acquainted
with the members of the Legisla-
ture, and the legislators to become
acquainted with each other, prior
to the formal convening of the
Legislature on January 6. Follow
ing the dinner Governor Buck and
his guests motored to the Play
house to witness a performance of
"Arms and the Maid" Governor
Buck was assisted by his aides,
Colonel Edgar M. Hopes, and Col
onel II. L. Cannon, of Bridgeville,
in receiving the legislators.

SOUGHT IN BOUNDARY FIGHT
FINAL DECISION PROBABLY
DURING NEXT FEW MONTHS
Contest Between the States of
Delaware and New Jersey is
More Than Century Old

Events leading up to the century
old struggle between New Jersey
and Delaware over the boundary
line separating the two States are
revealed in the publication on the
State line recently issued by the
Interior Department at Washing
ton. When the Duke of York as
signed New Jersey or Nova Cae-
sarea as it was then known, to
Lord John Berkley and Sir George
Carteret, the boundary line was
described as '1ow water mark on
the eastern side of the River Della
ware, within the 12-mile circle
from New Castle, and the middle
of bay below said circle" These
word precipitated a dispute which
eliminated about a year ago in a
suit before the Supreme Court, in
which New Jersey sought to set
once and for all, its boundary in
Delaware Bay. The court still has
the suit under consideration. Is
lands within the 12-mile circle
over which both States claim jur-
isdiction are valuable for oyster
raising. Lord Berkley, in 1873,
sold his New Jersey holding to
John Fenwick. At the death of
Sir George, his share was sold to
''the II proprietors of West Jer-
sey." In 1876, the New Jersey
Legislature authorized the Cover
nor to commence a suit in the Su-
preme Court to settle the bound
ary between New Jersey and Del
aware. Despite the suit, it was
not until 1905 that discussion by
commissioners representing both
States ended in a compact provid-
ing for concurrent jurisdiction
over the disputed area. This COM
pact was ratified by the Legisla-
ture and approved by Congress in
1907. The total area is only %
square miles and much of it un-
der water. Its sole value lies in
the rich oyster beds. A dispute
between New Jersey and Pennsyl-
vania over islands located in the
Delaware River was settled ami
cably. Both States agreed that
the islands near the New Jersey
shore should belong to that State
and islands near the Pennsylvania
shore should be controlled by that
Commonwealth. No question has
arisen over the New Jersey-Penn-
sylvania boundary since the agree
ment was reached in 1886.

At MAGNOLIA THURSDAY
HAROLD w. WILSON DECLAR-
ES mo TRUCE" In ADDRESS
Head Also Speaks at Meeting;
Directors Make Reports

Members of the Women's Chris
tian Temperance Union from all
partsaof Kent County attended the
Institute at Magnolia Thursday.
The principal speakers were Har-
old w. Wilson, deputy prohibition
administrator for Delaware, and
the Rev. Roscoe Vining, superin-
tendent of the Anti-Saloon League
in Delaware. There were a num-
ber of interesting addresses by
members of the body. Mrs. Thorn
as N. Rawlins made an interesting
address on efforts made in the last
election and previous to the cleo
tion to defeat wet candidates for
the legislature and for other plac-
es. She told especially of the pray
er meetings which were held for
the success of the dry candidates.
Mrs. Anna Lee Waller, the state
president, spoke on the budget
system, work in the schools and
other features of VIC. T. U. work.
An interesting feature was a dis
cussion in which the heads of the
various departments took part,
each explaining some particular
phase of work. The Rev. Mr. Vim
ing spoke on the work of the Anti
Saloon League and told what the
organization was doing in Della
ware. Deputy Administrator Will
son said in part: Friends, there
can be no truce in our fight for
temperance. There is no middle
! ground the days of neutrality are
at an end. Temperance and pro-
hibition are one and the same
thing-they are inseparable. Every
liquor law restricts and prohibits.
National prohibition was adopted
in the fight for temperance when
it was found that State, county
and city prohibition did not pro-
hibit. If we repeal the Eighteenth
Amendment because it is violated
and not 100 per cent enforced we
will have to repeal State and mu-
nicipal liquor laws for exactly the
same reason. Liquor has always
spread corruption and lawlessness
If we compromise with those who
refuuse to respect and obey Ma
tional temperance laws, the same
people will refuse to abide by any
restrictive laws whether State OF
National. The history of the great
temperance fight of 100 years
when the liquor traffic was out
lawed proves this. Political part
les and public officials were domi-
mated and corrupted by liquor long

However, the batter-the boys
then called him the striker'-did
not stand at home plate, or at the
fourth base as they called it. He
stood halfway between fourth and
first, facing toward the middle of
the square.
1.-THE 'toSser,' ancestor of the mod
ern pitcher, stood inside the square,
about fifteen feet away from him.
should add, here, that there was
no rule about the distance between
the posts; it depended chiefly on
the size of the vacant lot or field
the kids had to play in.
"TNHE tosser threw the ball un-
l. derhand, not very hard. The
strikers bat was a long stick, with
a fiat surface at the end.
"He swung it with one hand, and
if he failed to hit the ball with his
first strike he was out-provided
that the catcher, stationed some
twenty feet behind him, caught the
ball either in the air or on first
bounce.
Round ball had inf1elders and
outfelders, only the inf1elders were
called 'postmen' and the outf1elders
we're called scouts
When the striker hit the ball he
ran for first base, just as in modern
baseball, and went on to the other
bases if he could, scoring when he
reached fourth base.
He was out if one of the post
men or scouts caught the ball in
the air or on first bounce, or if any
of the players could hit him or
touch him with it while he was be-
tween the hosts.
Regardless of the number Of men
in the field, there we're only three
batters. and if the first batter failed
to score from third on the last bat
ter's effort he was out.
"THE expression, out by the
l. way, came from the fact
that the striker went out to the
field when mis- hit was caught or
he was tagged between the bases.
There was no rotation, as there
is in the modern kids game of
scrub: the player who made the
putout came in to bat. and the
batter who had been put out re-
placed him in the field.
Thus. obviously, it wasn't a
team affair. It was strictly an in
