Dover VS.. Smyrna

The baseball team played their
second game of the season against
Dover, Tuesday, April 80. The
game was considered to be very in
teresting from beginning to end.
The score was tie from the first
inning until the tenth, in which Do
yer succeeded in getting the win
ming run by a hit out to left field.
Inspite of losing the game, the
team still has the spirit, and ex-
poets to win most of the coming
games.

EASY PICKINGS"

LIE STOOD at the curb Of the
taxicab stand, swaying upon
his feet as though at any moment
he might fall in a heap in the
gutter On his handsome young
face was an expression of sobriety
alcoholic sobriety-and infinite
boredom.
Scores of cabs had pulled up and
received fares while he stood there
on the edge Of the pavement, and
repeatedly he had made as if to
board one, only to change his mind
at the last minute.
Finally the mans discriminating
taste seemed to find fulfillment. A
shiny black taxi Of the Independent
type pulled up, and the driver. a
beefy-faced individual with a wart
on his chin. called: Cab, sir"
The inebrlate hiccOughed, lurched
slightly upon his feet, and peered
at the driver. At his nod the driv-
er jumped out to hold the cab door
open. In the latter's small, closely
set black eyes a glimmer of doubt
full recognition showed.
The fare wet his lips with his
tongue. Guess thish ish a good
tackshi, Fright" he muttered.
Out into the lane of traffic he
swung the cab, not bothering to in
quire for his fares address. And
as he drove. Beefy-Face gloated
quietly to himself. Here was an
other drunk to take over for every
bit Of dough in his pocket. Easy
pickings,
CHANGING into the mirror above
the windshield, the driver scrutin-
lied the huddled form In the rear.
This guy looked good for a couple
hundred bucks. Well-dressed. He
looked familiar, too. Then, sudden
ly. recognition came to him. Why,
this bloke was the one he had
rolled two. three, mabbe four times
before.
Beefy-Face made straight for a
lonely park he knew. and soon he
had nosed the cab into a dark lane
fianked by thick-foliaged trees. Here
he stopped the taxi.
Climbing down from the wheel, he
opened the cabs rear door and saw
his passenger sprawled upon the
seat, with left arm dangling almost
to the floor.
The driver leaned through the
door, dragged out the inert form
and half carried, half dragged 1t
to the edge of the lane. In a Sec
ond he had transferred a fat roll
of banknotes from the victims
pocket to his own. A few moments
later the taxicab was humming out
of the park.
An hour or so later the hand
some young man again was stand
ing at the curb of the taxi stand,
In almost the same spot he had oc-
cupied before. Now, however, he
stood firmly upon his feet, and he
seemed mildly interested in a COM
motion taking place at the end of
the line of cabs.
Three officious-looking men, who
had been scanning license plates of
cabs, suddenly had jumped
upon the running board Of black
taxi and were dragging the driver
from behind the wheel. The driv-
er, beefy fellow with a wart on
the chin, had been on the point of
lighting a cigarette.
After pulling him from the cab.
two of the men held him while third
took a fat roll OF bills from one or
his pockets. The three officious-
looking men examined these In
tently. then nodded grimly to one
another before hurrying their cap
tive toward a sedan up at the front
of the line.

declared, cops being human, after

a cop for arresting him, the officer

INTERESTING SKETCHES

Central park covers an area of
S44 acres. 1t is easily the most
valuable piece of land in America,
yet it is policed by something like
100 men. only a portion of which
are really effective since police
men, injured or convalescing from
injuries are assigned to parks. The
result is attacks, rowdyism, van
dalism and even In broad daylight,
annoyance of girls and women by
degenerates. Some time ago, there
was talk Of reviving the sparrow
cops'-plain clothes men who pa
trolled Central park-but nothing
came of 1t. The best explanation
of lack of proper park policing
seems to be lack Of funds.
The bootblack who shined my
shoes on Eighth avenue had the
hands of an artist. Also he had
sense of humor. He was chuckling
over a recent happening. Along
with a number of others of his
trade he had been arrested and
taken to a police station. The ar
rest occurred shortly after one
o'clock, and by the time they were
all registered and taken into court,
it was well after 2:30. They were
all given a day in jail by the magis-
trate, and after sentence were herd
ed in a big room. At 80, they
were turned out, jail day officially
ending at four. And the bootblack
was tickled because he had served
a day In less than an hour.

and stands are the ones who make
trouble for bootblacks, my inform
ant said. The men In the street

delectable viands showing the gen.

way through the dense mass OF people

his head with one hand while he
juggled a cup of punch with the other.
But drawing room food fights are
not new to Washington. They really
began back In the early days of
Washington when the rabble took ad-
vantage of White House hospitality,
and there were even some queer
scenes in the Senate and House along
the food line. An early writer even
recites how oranges, cakes and other
goodies were put on the ferrules OF
canes and reached from the floor of
the Senate to the gallery during an
exciting debate, when those in the
galleries were marooned because of
the packed stairways and jammed
doorways. Husbands on the floor
became panic stricken lest their ladies
perish of hunger. Even this season and
last and for many seasons of the past
