MO man who has followed base
~ ball through the years needs to
be reminded why Fred Merkle
has a place all by himself in the
annals of the game Fred was
blamed for the famous Merkle boner,
failure to touch second in game
with the Cubs in 1908, which cost
the Giants the pennant. Merkle
was McGraw's first baseman.
In those days it was quite Gus
tomary to dash of the field when
the winning run was scored. and not
to bother about running from first
to second to avoid technical force
play. Merkle merely followed Gus
tom and Evers and Tinker were
crafty enough to make him pay.
Merkle now is a physical instructor
at Daytona, Fla. He went from the
Giants to the Dodgers. Later he
managed in the minors and came
back as a coach with the Yankees.
All these years he has had to fight
against being designated as the per-
petrator of Merkle's Boner.

would be S7,333,450.26 as of July,
1885.
The appropriation for the opera
tion of the public schools of the
State for the next two fiscal years
will be in separate bill. The Gov
ernOr In his budget reccomends that
the schools including those in Will
mington and also including trans
portatlon costs be allowed $3,270, 900
for each of the two fiscal year which
is considerably less than the amount
requested by the State Board of Ed
ucation.
The recommendations of Governor
Buck as to the school appropriation
with comparisons as TO the amounts
appropriated two years ago are
shown In a separate article in this
paper.
According to the figures set out
in the budget the school fund, as es-
timated, will have a balance as of
July 1, 1885, of $10,755, ,095.7O avail
able cash surplus. ut can be plain
ly seen at this time that certain rev.
enues can be adjusted to properly

appropriations by more than $2,O0O,-

Governor Buck calls attention of
the legislators to the fact that this
deficit exists because of the shrink
age of the corporation fees which
the State receives and which in the
past have been considered the main
source of revenue for the general
fund.
ITO meet this deficit" the Cover
nor states, ut will be necessary for
the General Assembly to adjust GER
tain revenues which are now going
to the school fund"
The budget contains the tentative
appropriation bill recommended by
the Governor. This tentative bill
would carry appropriations totalling
$2,260, ,O27.58 for the first fiscal year
beginning July 1, 1888 and $2,SS4,-
O1O.O8, for the second year ending
June 80, 1885, or a total of $4,644,-
03766 for the two years.
The budget is made up by the
Governor with the assistance of the
State Budget Commission. The adj
ministration's budget bill carrying
appropriations totalllng the above
figures will be introduced by the
chairman of the House Approprla-
tions Committee early in the ses-
sion. The House committees have
not yet been named. After the bill is
introduced 1t will then go to the
Legislative Budget Committee made
up of the House Appropriations
Committee and the Senate Finance
Committee and that committee can
reduce or increase the amounts but
generally holds fairly close to the
amounts as set up in the budget bill.
The total amount of the apprU-
priatlon bill passed by the 1881 Leg
islature TO run the State depart
ments and Institutions for the two
years ending June so, this year,
was $5,57S.755 which is $929,71S

by Governor, Buck in the proposed
budget bill.

100000 DAMAGE
TO STATE ROADS
Task of Repairing Storms Havoc
VIII Take at Least Two Months

The cost of repairing the damage
to the roads of the State wrought
by the recent storm will amount to
more than 100000, according to
estimates made by w. W. Mack,
chief engineer of the State Highway
Department, after an inspection Of
the temporary repairs made to the
roads in all parts of the State on
Tuesday.
This repair work will give em-
ployment to so and probably more
additional laborers for a period Of
at least two months, Mr.. Mack said.
Most of the work will be confined
to Sussex county where seven cul-
verts or small beidges were washed
away, together with portions of the
roads and approaches. There are
also nine other places in the same
county where portions of the road
were either washed away or under
mined Two roads in Kent county
will also require extensive repair
work, Mr.. Mack said.
All of the roads have been tenn
porarily repaired so that they were
open for traffic Tuesday morning
with the exception of the Basin
road to Newport in New Castle
