The season has been bounti-
full in its yield of fish, as well
as products of the farm and
garden. The Every Evening
notes some catches Of big ones
"that did not get away" The
entire Atlantic coast, the
Every Evening says, has been
more prolific this Summer
than for many years, but just
why nobody seems to be able
to satisfactorily explain.
"The fact, however, re-
mains that anglers have had
finer sport than usual. There
have been an abundance of
weak fish, which we had be-
lieved were disappearing.
They have been taken in Del

The State Welfare Commits
sion is to be congratulated for
sticking to their choice of the
Speakman or Lake Como site,
Smyrna, for their new Wei
fare Home buildings and not
giving in to Dover, just be-
cause it was the State Capt.
tol. This commission was ap-
pointed by Governor Buck un-
der provisions of an act pass
ed at the recent session Of the
Delaware Legislature to select
what in their judgment was
the most suitable site. But
from the way Dover maneuv-
cred and contested one might
have thought they had the
naming of site and not the
legally appointed commission.
To the credit Of said State
Welfare Commission, they
were not to be dictated to. AT
ter making an exhaustive sur
vey they chose Smyrna and to
Smyrna the new State We'll
fare Home will come. Some
Doverites, however, did not
act with true sporting blood.
They kept doggedly after the
State Commission, offering
compromise proposals, it is
said, which should have gone
in with their original offer
and not after the question had
been settled. The State We'll
fare Commission stuck to
their choice and Friday they
ended any further importun-
ing by buying 81 acres Of
Cummins E. Speakman and /
settling definitely that Smyr-
ma was to get the new $780,
600 Delaware State Home.
Smyrna is happy over the
prospect of having this insti-
tuition in our midst. The
Smyrna site was selected on
its merits by a body Of com
missioners as able and quail
fled as the Governor could
have appointed. After all, it
is not a Smyrna but a State
institution and after it is built
our citizens will welcome cit
izens from Dover, and all 9TH
er parts Of the State who
come here to visit it.

Pacific Coast
League Scores
By United Press

Los Angeles, Oakland and San
Francisco remained the leading
coast league teams today although,
with the exception of the Oaks
they received drubbings last night.
The Serapls' lead was cut down
by the Seattle Indians, who won
their first game Of the week, 8 to
2. The Indians started with two
in the first inning, scored again in
the sixth and seventh, and finished
with three runs in the ninth.
A homer by Pool in the ninth
scored three runs for the Oaks and
defeated the Seals, 6 to 5. Pitcher
Zinn was the victim. The victory
sent Oakland into second place, q
game and a half behind the An
gels, and put the Seals down in
third.
The Sacramento Senators also
scored their first victory this week

though he proved himself superior
in every respect to Challenger
Jack kid Berg of England, Tony
Canzoneri today owed his retention
of worlds lightweight championship
TO the rules of the New York Ath-
letic commission.
Canzoneri scored a clear cut vic
tory over Berg in their Is round
bout at the Polo Grounds last night,
but had the bout been staged in
London. where it was scheduled
originally. the championship would
have changed hands when Berg
went to the floor from foul in the
eighth round
Under the New York commissions
rules a fighter cannot win or lose
on a foul and despite the protests
of the $4,000 spectators, Referee
Patsy Haley counted over Berg just
as though he had been sent TO the
floor by legitimate blow.
Canzoneri made no attempt to
take advantage of the foul, even
though, also under the rules it cost
him the loss of the round. He stood
back after Berg rose at the eight
count, and gave the Briton a chance
to recover before resuming the at

PICKING DOEC
ABOVE LOTT IN
NET TOURNEY
BY HENRY McCLEMORE
United Press Staff Correspondent

FOREST HILLS, N. Y, Sept. Il.
! U.P)-Those critics. who less than a
week ago said that Johnny Doeg
defending champion, would be lucky
to reach the second round, named
the big southpaw TO defeat George
Lott in one OF the semi-final
matches of the mems national ten
MS singles championship here to-
day.
The critics changed their mind
about Doeg's chances yesterday
when he followed up his victory
over Bryan Grant with decisive
win over Frank Shields, New York
Davis cup star and seeded No. 2
in the tournament. In whipping
Shields, Doeg proved that although
he may be a dub in the smaller
tournaments. he is torment when
the stakes are high.
Lott. however. is not without his
hackers. The fiery tempered Phil
adelphian started the tournament
determined to establish himself as
a first class singles player. So far
ne has succeeded admirably. The
Philadelphian proved ne was a
gamester of the highest order who,
after losing in the first two sets to
Johnny Van Ryn yesterday, came
back with a tremendous surge to
run out the next three sets. His
comeback was all the more re-
markable in the light Of Van Ryn's
performance in the two sets he
won. Johnny simply blasted Lott
off the court with an assortment
Of shots that was almost unbelieY-
able in accuracy and power.
The other semi-final match pits
Ellsworth Vines, the California
comet, against Fred Perry, brilliant
young British internationalist.
Vines showed he was on top Of his
game by eliminating Berkeley Bell
IN three straight sets in a quarter
final tiff. Vines showed little more
tennis IN trouncing Bell than did
Perry in breezing to an easy tri-
umph over Frank Bowden, the
New York dark horse" who elm
mated Sidney B. Wood, Davis cup
ace, in the third round.
Neither Perry nor Vines have
been forced to turn on the pressure.
Both Of them will have TO travel
at top speed today.

LOSE INTEREST
IN BIG LEAGUE
DIAMOND GAMES
BY l.. S. CAMERON
United Press Sports Editor

NEW YORK, Sept. II. UP
With the playing out of the sched-
ule reduced TO a mere formality.
baseball fans have lost interest in
the major league races and mag
mates face the prospect of heavy
losses for the balance of the sea-
son.
Lack of interest was demonstrat-
ed conclusively yesterday when less
than $4,000 witnessed the seven
major league games, as compared
with the attendance of 10000 and
$4,000 for charity city series
games at New York and Chicago
the previous day.
Cincinnati set the new low mark
for the season with a total paid at
tendance of 276 spectators for a
game between the Reds and the
Brooklyn Robins. The Philadelphia
Athletics and st. Louis Cardinals,
respective leaders in the American
and National League records drew
the best crowds of the day in home
games. the Cards attracting $500
and the AS drawing 5000.
Cincinnati loyal followers saw
their favorites defeat Brooklyn, 3

Z, c. GRID MEN LOSING
WEIGHT RAPIDLY IN WORK

during the summer may start
+ out we'll but go stale after a few
games.
AS is customary each year this
season, Trojan football followers are
away ahead of Coach Jones in
naming the Trojan varsity, and the
eleven they have selected will prob
ably have an average of 1873 pounds
to the man. These men and their
estimated playing weights are as
follows
Right end, Arbelbide. 1872; right
tackle. Brown. 1876; right guard,
Hall (2O8); center, Williamson, 1877;
left guard, Baker, 180; left tackle,
Rosenberg, 200; left end, Sparkling,
173; quarterback. Shaver, 1872; right
halfback. Erskine, 194; left halfback,
Mallory, ITO; fullback, Pinckert, 1872
This combination would average l9l
in the line and l84 in the back
field.
Coach Jones could add 20 pounds
to the line by using Ernie Smith,
203, at right tackle and Ford Pal
mer, 1876, at left end, giving the for
wards an average of 1873 and the
eleven an average of 1870. This would
be Jones's heaviest all-around COM
bination.
With Orv Mohler, 1862, at quarter;
Musick, 1872, at fullback; Pinckert
moved over to right half and NAL
lory or Clark, ITO, at left half, the
backfield would average 179. With
the first named line, this backfield
combination would give the South
ern Californians an average of 1885
pounds to the man.
That the training grind will cause
considerable shrinkage in Troy's
candidates was indicated this week
when Smith reduced his PIT pounds
to 210 and Pinckert cut his 205 TO
1876 through gym workouts. At the
present time the candidates aver
age about five pounds over the
weights at which they expect to
play.
