The Legislature

The Legislature
The Legislature which adjourned
last week has been the most expen-
siye and done the least constructive
work of any General Assembly the
State of Delaware has had for long
time. H.
The members of the Senate and
House have been playing petty poll
tics at the expense of the taxpayers.
While there has been some good
bills passed, there has been left un-
done so many things which would
have proved of benefit to the farm
ers and others if duly enacted into
law.
Will the time ever come when the
voters of Delaware can select body
of men irrespective of party who
will go to Dover, putting patriotism
above petty politics and enact such
laws as will prove a benefit to the
people in general? This is an open
question.
Fine Beef
Our butcher, Luke Postles. has
been showing some very fine beef
at his shambles here lately, and in
fact, it is generally known that Mr..
Postles is a good judge of cattle and
nothing which he sells, but what
must be first class in every respect.
Glendale Swamp
Nothing can be prettier this time
of the year than the several pieces
of forest land situated in different
parts of Sussex county, but the Ell
lendale Swamp is considered the
finest of them all. The oak, maple,
gum and pine trees with their green
foliage and the setting of the holly
trees with their red berries makes a
scene worth going miles to see. !
Take your lunch and motor down
that way; you will find park all
ready for your coming. We think you
will enjoy it.
Baseball
A very interesting game of base
ball was played on the school
grounds here on Saturday afternoon
between Ellendale and Houston
clubs. The score stood at the ending,
6 to in favor of Glendale. That
looks better for Glendale.
Purchased A Lot
w. w. Houseman, the superinten-
dent of the Glendale and Lincoln
Electric Company, has purchased a
building lot of H. w. Jester situated
at the corner of Main street and
Washington avenue, and will erect
fine residence sometime soon.
Sewing Unit Closed
The sewing unit which has been
running here for some months clos
ed last week. We regret to learn
this, as it has been a great help in
giving women something to do
while their husbands were unem- |
ployed. We hope a way can be found
to reopen the unit at a very early
date.

Lefty Walter Stewart, who was
kept from pitching yesterday at
New orleans because of the rain,
will probably get a most i'm

while the others, General Alvin
Crowder, Earl Whitehill, Monte
Weaver and Alphonse Thomas,
will get theirs over Friday and
Saturday.
Then the youngsters, Eddie
Linke and Bud Thomas, will not
be forgotten before the week is
ended, as Manager Cronin will be
just as anxious to see them in
action again as he will to see his
veteran group. Probably more so,
as he must make a decision pretty
soon whether to keep the pair or
whether to send them back to the
minors for another year of season
ing. The prospects are that he'll
decide to keep incorporating,

be as successful as it has been in

Set Up Not Right

Several opportunities h ave
come to johnson to interest
himself in clubs here and there,
but the financial set-up has not
been sound, and so the season
finds itself about to open with
out one of the games greatest
personageS a part thereof.
At least that is the situation
as this is being written. We
learn from a very authoritative
source there is one more chance
that johnson will land that Jer-
Sey City opening, and this
against the advice of his very
best wishers, including the over
signed.
We do not see how Jersey
City can possibly be converted
into a money-making venture,
particularly in these tedious
times. Better as things are get
ting. Jersey City as a baseball
center is hopeless.
In the boom days, Jersey

We sincerely hope johnson
isn't too ardent about this Jer-
sey City deal. We hope he
doesn't dread a year or two out
of the game until things can
right themselves, to such an ex.
tent he will make a foolish
gesture which may cost him
dearly in the long run.
Yet, a very reliable author
ity told us over the weekend
Walter is on the verge of per-
sonally making the plunge, and
that by this time would have
done so excepting that the own
ers of the Jersey City land
on which the ball park is built
were holding up lease in
hopes of getting a better one
from prospective beer interests.
This may be just another of
those beer rumors, as it seems

poets to profit someWay or
announcer on Lne new DreW-dnQ
this goes for the Government
as well-but it comes to us
straight enough for us to feel
justified in passing it on to you
as being authentic.
There are none but who can
understand Walter Johnson'S
desire to retain his ties with
baseball, but too there are none
who wish to see him make any
financial sacrifice, or take too
great a gamble to do this, par
ticularly with a club that has
never been a consistent money
maker, if any of a money
maker at all.
Take it easy, Walter! 80

Yep, fans will be cheering this
big lad-not because of his bril-
liant playing, but because of the
quiet, serious and buSiness-like
manner in which he'll hold down
that center field position, one
of the most important posts in
baseball.
Schultz is not a newcomer in
the game when brief history of
his career is reviewed. He came
up to the st. Louis Browns about
seven years ago and has been
that teams center fielder ever
since. The Browns paid one of
those ridiculous prices for the
lad at the time and as result
he was ballyhooed so much as
one of the biggest finds in
years" that it was all that Schultz
could do to live up to his repu-
tation.
Finally Gives In
His play, as a consequence, was
affected no little as he not only
failed miserably at bat, but be-
came one of the most uncertain
fielders in the game. This soon
left him, however, after the fans
stopped expecting too much of
him, and in the last few seasons
he developed into one of the
Browns best players both at bat
and afield.
Last December when Prexy
Clark Griffith broached the sub
ject to Bill Killefer, manager of
the Browns, on the chances Of
getting Goose Goslin back into a
Washington uniform, Killefer
said he'd have to have both
Sammy Wests and Carl Reynolds
for the slugging outfielder. Griff
then countered by advising Nthe
st. Louis pilot that he couldn't
trade unless Schultz was included
in the transaction. After much
dickering Killefer finally con-
sented and the trade was con-
summated, Lefty Walter Stewart

Valuable Cog
A right-handed hitter of the

is trying his best this year to

terrible mistake in letting him
go. So far this spring Fred has

posted in the doubles and all

Cracking out a score of 1892
points, the Syracuse tenpin pair
of Johnny MARITIME and Andy Pi-
raino jumped into the lead of the
doubles division, while George AIR
beck, South Bend, Ind, kegler,
piled up a grand total of 1856, to
take the lead, temporarily at
least, in the all-eventS race.
Ahrbeck replaced Ken Maurer,
the 2O-year-old Syracuse flash,
who ran into first place of the
division Saturday with a score OF
1922, a score which was good
enough today for second place
only. Ahrbeck's total of 1856
was accumulated with points Of
212, 2O2 and 223 in the team
event; 24O, 224, and 233 in the
doubles. and 1872, 1876, and 235 in
the singles.
MARITIME and Pirain lacked only
few "taps" of slipping over the
1900 figure. AS it was, Martino,
the all-events titlist in the inter
national tournament at Stock
holm four years ago, ran off games
of 1913, 22O, and 2O6, while his
team mate pounded out games of

And all of this is no fault of

Both Walter and Griff have

been quite practical.
