.LAGG|NG GIANTS.

With Blonde Ryan back at
shortstop, the Giants clicked per-
fectly to down St. Louis, 3 to 2,
the victory dropping the Cardi-
mails to fourth place and en-
abling the New Workers to hold
their three-game lead over the
hard-pressing Chicago Cubs. His
very presence seemed to give
Johnny Vergez the idea of whack-
ing a booming homer in tn e
ninth with the score tied, 2 to 2.
The Cubs continued to win,
Lon Warneke leading the way to
Al triumph over Brooklyn. It
was the Cubs eighth straight
victory.
Lefty Gomez held the st. Louis
Browns to five hits, while his
teammates hammered Hadley and
Mcdonald to develop a IL to 0
triumph for the Yankees. st.
Louis failed to get a man past
second base as the Yanks made
it six successes in a row.
Pittsburgh remained threaten
ing in third position in the Ma
tional League after turning back
the Boston Braves, 8 to 3. The
Reds and Phillies changed places
again, Cincinnati going back
home to the cellar under 4 to
3 beating by Philadelphia.
Fred Marberry registered his
thirteenth victory in winning for
Detroit from the Boston Red COX,
3 to 2. Cleveland Snatched one
from the Athletics, to S, as
O'Dell Hale hit a homer in the
eighth with one man on base.
Connally got the pitching credit
for the win, Cain being the vic
tim.

Leech, race chairman, than whom
there is no whomer when it
comes to lining up racing talent,
prevailed upon most of the out
board stars to sign up for both
the Tri-City and the Presidents
Cup regattas, thereby assuring to
followers of the regattas in this
vicinity fast and sensational COM
petition in the two outstanding
water events of the year.
To top off their activities of
the past few weeks, the men in
charge of the Tri-City event have
succeeded in organizing a perma-
nent association which will per-
petuate the regatta. Albert
Waters is president of the new
association, Robert Goenner is
secretary and treasurer, and H.

executive committee.
A Great Feat
The Tri-City, as often known
as the Herald Harbor Regatta, is
under the joint auspices of the
new permanent association and
the Chesapeake and Potomac

Edwin C. CEddieO Baltz is COM

The coming of Jimmy Nunneley
to the Tri-City has created un-

When Nunneley made his
worlds record at Geneva he COW
cred a course of a mile and a

were all made over two and

Fire early Friday afternoon de-
stroyed the farm house, with con-
tents, meat house and all the meat

Mr.. and Mrs. William T. Nowland
about three miles south of Smyrna

and three of her children, Eleanor
Doris, and Ronald, were at the
time of the fire the only ones at
home, Mr.. Nowland with DR.. Nc
Daniel, veterinarian, being over at
the home of a neighbor inoculating
hogs. The little girl was the
first to discover the fire, smell
ing smoke and went to tell her
mother. Handicapped by having
no telephone, Mrs. Nowland tried
to attract attention from her
neighbors by screaming, and also
tried to save as many of the pos
sessions as possible. DR.. Mcdaniel
and Mr. Nowland looking in the di-
rection of the house, saw the
smoke, and went over Immediately
and found the house ablaze. To
summon the firemen another trip
had to be made to the farm of Al
fred Jones. BY the time the fire
men arrived, the house was beyond
control and very little was able to
be saved. There was insurance on
the building but no insurance on
the furniture and contents. All the
furniture was destroyed with the
exception of about a dozen pieces,
all their clothing, their
meat, potatoes, and fruit. The
good work of the firemen prevent
ed it from spreading to the out
buildings. The supply of water
being low, they ran out Of chem
icals ard an extra supply had to be
sent for AT present Mr.. and Mrs.
and four children are liv-

BUCK IN FAVOR
AT WASHINGTON
Stands Out In List of State
Governors as Presidential
Timber of Party
POLITICALLY SEASONED

A high compliment has been
paid Governor Buck of Delaware
by the Washington Post as one of
the outstanding executives of the
country and hints that he has the
ability and distinction as a young
Republican executive that would
make ideal presidential timber.
The Washington Post says:
Among the remnant of RepubIi-
can Governors expected in Wash
ington on March for the confer
ence to which President-elect
Roosevelt has invited all State ex-
ecutives, are two men widely look
ed upon as G. o. P. hopes for 1886.
They are John G. Winant of New
Hampshire and Clayton Douglass
Buck of Delaware. Both of them
are young, personable, capable and
politically seasoned, with strong
records in their own States, as ex-
emplified by reflections to their
present offices. The great parties
traditionally look to Congress and
the State capitals for presidential
timber. OF the thin line of 10 Re
publicans remaining in guberna-
torial chairs. Winant and Buck
are considered by many party
spokesmen as the best timber now
in sight With Senate Leader Nc
Nary and House Leader Smell, the

Governors are the most conspicu-
Gus Republicans now left in elective

FOR DELAWARE

HIGHWAY TOLL BRIDGE

The State of Delaware has made
a move to fall in line with the
state of New Jersey for a self
liquidating span across the Della
ware river in or near Wilmington.
A bill, similar to one now in the
New Jersey Legislature to provide
for the construction, operation and
maintenance of the bridge was in
troduced in the Delaware General
Assembly Friday Afternoon by Rep
resentative Tatnall. The two States
are working together on the neces-
sary legislation which would pro-
vide for a State-owned bridge. and
which would make it possible for
both of them to proceed with the
work if within the next two years
it is decided to carry the project
TO completion. Under this propos-
ed act there would be no cost to
the State as the financing would

providing that all primary elections
to nominate candidates Of both
parties shall be held on the same
day, the date to be fixed by the

fies that the primary election in

Saturday in May in the year in
which an election is TO be held. Mr..
Jester said the purpose OF the bill
is to eliminate so called "floaters''
and prevent their voting al both
party primaries. Mr. Owens intro
duced a bill to create a State De-
partment of Elections to consist Of
nine members as follows: The
State chairmen of the two major
parties, the county chairneD of the
two parties and the Governor. This
would conduct all eIee-

COUNTY HOME
AT FARNHURST
Will Be Turned Over To State
Hospital When the Welfare
Home at Smyrna is Ready
TRANSFER OF INMATES

Six cents is all the money that
will be involved in transferring the
New Castle County Hospital to the
Delaware State Hospital, if either
bill offered by Senator McIntire
or one introduced by Representa-
tive Rees becomes a law. The bill
provides that when the inmates of
the almshouse at Farnhurst are
transferred to the State Welfare
Home, now under construction at
Smyrna, the Trustees of the Poor
of New Castle County shall be
authorized to have the property,
both real and personal, conveyed to
the board of trustees of the Della
ware State Hospital for six cents.
1t is pointed out in the measure
that the Delaware State Hospital
is in need of additional buildings.
1t is stated that the board wishes
to acquire the property when it has
completed its services as an aims
house. The bill also states that
the financial condition of the State
Hospital is such that the purchase
of the property for a fair price is
impossible. Senator McIntire and
Representative R Rees presented bills
to appropriate $4,000 for repairs
to the almshouse, when it is ac-
quired by the Delaware State Hos
pital. When this old New Castle
County building (Almshouse) and
its grounds are made a part of the
State Hospital at Farnhurst, it will /.
make a better and finer layout and I
will enable the hospital to have I
more rooms in which to care for +
the ever increasing number of in
mates. Under the able administra-
ton of DR.. M A Tarumianz the
Delaware State Hospital has had
a wonderful growth and is now re-

resignation will be accepted and his
appointment to Asbury Church be
approved by the Bishop at the an

20. In fact it is the first instance
in history where a presiding elder

Conference has resigned to take
pastorate. DR.. Johnson is one of
the able men of the conference. He
has served such big church as Har-
