- I'VE were talking about pitch

to John j. McGraw. who
was the fastest pitcher you ever saw
work."
Amos Rusie," the veteran manager
answered at once. IT'D like to add that
saw but little of Walter johnson
when he was in his prime. At his best
he may have been just as fast as Rusie.
"I'll tell you about Rusie. He was q
powerfully built fellow, with small
hands. You would never think he
could get up that binding speed. But
he had something In the nature Of q
quick shoulder whirl and the ball was
by you before you could move your bat.
"I still remember how thankful I
was when any game was over that Rusie
pitched. understand they felt that
same way about Walter Johnson-that
good ball players had habit Of get
ting sick when Johnyon's turn was due.
They were both faster than any
pitcher we have today-faster than
Grove or Vance at their best. I don't
like to make direct comparison be-
said, saw but little Of johnson when
he was in his prime.
There is one point forgot to bring
out about Matty," McGraw continued.
Il am referring now to his control.
He would come out on the first day OF
Spring training, when he hadn't thrown
ball for months, and Bowerman or
Bresnahan would stick out big glove
and Matty would hit it.
IF he decided he wanted to put over
a low strike across the inside or the
outside corner, he wouldn't miss his
mark by an inch. He might as well
have used a rifle"

The best start We ever heard OF on q
league set was Eddie Keith's 1877 with
the Rex team of the Recreation League
last season. In the second game he
rolled 109 and in the third 119. More
staying power was shown by Joe Pricci
captain of the same team, who rolled
497 three weeks later with a start Of
1885,

Lorraine GULL recently rolled two
sets in the 390s within a few nights of
each other, but somehow that 408 shot
last season by Evelyn Ream seems un-
real. Ten years ago such score by a
girl was thought barely within the
range of things possible.

Question On Adjournment

The bill was sent to Governor
Bucks office March 81. The ten days
he is allowed for its consideration
expired Saturday. April /. The Leg
islature was not in session that day,
having adjourned from Friday,
March 81, to Monday, April 3. 1t is
now contended this weekend -ad-
journment by the Legislature pre-
vented the bill at the end of the ten
day period Those questioning the
legality of the act claim it now re-
quires the signature of the Cover
nor if it is to become a law, other
wise it will die.
Those who believe the bill became
a law in view of the fact that the
Governor did not veto il, contend
that the intent of the Constitution
is that if the General Assembly, by
final adjournment, preven,s the re-
turn of bill il cannot he enacted
without the approval of the Cover
nor. Should the contention that ii
requires the Governors signature to
make it a law be upheld friends of
the act propose to take the case 10
court to have its constitutionality
tested. They have insistei it remain
on the Senate calendar with the
notation that it became . law be-
cause the Governor did not veto II

A NEW KIND OF ROOF
FOR POULTRY HOUSES

Poultrymen who would like ia
know how to build better and
cheaper roof for their poultry
honses. and how to repair old roofs
at a low cost to make them last an
other ten years, are invited TO at
tend roofing demonstration which
will be conducted by the Extension
Department of the University of Del
aware ON Thursday. April 13, from .
a. M. To p. M, at the farm of M. G.
Vaughn, one mile east of COolsprings
on the GeOrgetOwn-Lewes road. This
demonstration has been arranged by
C.. r. Snyder, County Agricultural
Agent, Georgetown, in cooperation
with Mr. Vaughn to show how to
construct a built-up roof for Il mod
eIn type poultry house that is "a by
SO feet in size. -
ii. S. Plamer, Extension Poultry
man of the University of Delaware,
will have charge of the demOnstra-
tion. Mr.. Palmer reports that the
material for built-up roofs costs
about as much per square as high
grade eighty-five pound slate sur
faced roofing. A little more labor is
required to lay the built-up roof;
but once il is laid, il is proof against
wind damage and Will last three or
four times as long as the ordinary
composition roof.
, Because the material for this roof
must be heated and put on while
hot, the work must be done on a
warm day that is not windy. In case
of unfavorable weather the roof will
be laid the next fair day.

HENRY'S WEDDING WILL
STIR LAUGHTER HERE
[cdntianed ttom Eitit Pnael


time to a widow of 40 (Mrs. Frank
Davis) who has twice been married
This in itself brings enough comi.
cal situations to keep the crowd in
an uproar. But what makes the sit
uatiOn even more hilarious is the
fact that Jack, Uncle Henry's nep-
hew, planned to get married ON the
day of the show to Mary and col
lect 100000 from his grandfathers
will. However, the sudden an
nOuncement ON Uncle Henry's part
of his marriage on the same day will
cut Jack out Of the 100000 and give
it to his Uncle Henry. Jack imme-
diately with his boy friends George
Jester and Donald Smith attempt
to stop Uncle Henry's wedding. Per-
suasion falls, so they turn to the at
tempt of kidnapping. From here the
comical situation begins.
Others who have prominent parts
are: Mrs. A. +. Faix as Eliza, Ed
Evans as Rastus, Mae Russell as
Marie, Elizabeth Wright as Virginia,
Harry Shew us O'Flarety, Ralph
McCallicher as Mugs, Max Orkin
and Eggie Denny as gangsters. Al
Jefferies as Rev. Turnipseed, II. Or
kin as Brother Jones-pianist, Jas.
DickersOn.
The Brethren and Sistern of the
i Mystic Shrine hold a meeting which
is one of the high spots of the show.
Twenty-Five men and women of the
community take part in this spirit
ualist meeting and sing the old ne
gro spiritualist songs of the south
ern negro. Following are some of
the people singing in the Mystic
Shrine: Helen Legar, Frances At
kins, Maude Frick, Eleanor Sum-
mers, Marguerite Hall, Ruth Peet,
Annette Mettam, Elsie Trimble,
Gladys Hudson, Vera Schrey, Ken
nerly Lambert, George Vinyard,
William BicKek AL Cohen. Ralph
Reed, Raymond Bennett, Jack Wa
pies, Russell Kirby, VIM. Lynch,
Elmer Bennett, Ed Evans, Joe BOs-
ton, Paul Davis and Roy Stevenson.
In addition to the above features,
the girls choruses are also high
spots in the show. About thirty To-
cal high school girls, dressed in spe-
tldi COStunlcS give Sudppy ChuI uses
and beautiful songs.
Among the best hits Of the show
are the 1890 guests at this modern
1910 wedding. This group, called
the "Beaus and Bells" of Grandma's
Time is the laugh hit of the show
and composed of the prominent bus
mess men.
Uncle Henry's Wedding" is a
laugh riot from start to finish. I'm
usual and snappy dialogue, any
number of .side-splitting situations
as well as fast and furious action
makes "Henry's Wedding" the out
standing theatrical effort of the sea-
son.
Tickets for this splendid comedy
are now on sale by members of the
American Legion and members of
the cast.
Reserved seats will be on sale at
PettyjOhn's Pharmacy beginning
Friday, April II, at 0 a. m.
To advertise the show, there will
be big street parade next Satur-
day afternoon at 2 O'Clock.

and not for All armOry and that the
floor space was sufficient for only
one-fourth of the battery to drill at
one time.

ance for the inspection. SiXty-three
men under the command of Capt.
Anthony Summers, First Lieutenant
