MARRIED FRANCIS
 IN 26-6 VICTORY

Over two hundred members of the France. American Social Club Wit- messed Q game of soft ball between the married and single men ct the Black Rock state park last Sunday afternoon. The single fellows "coulo- n't get to second base against the married men and the latter claim that such c ghellacking can never be "liVed down." The score was 20 to 0. The game was the elimination of an argument of long standing be- tween the contesting groups and the married mems spokesman said that the "disgraccful" showing made by the single men only intensified the feeling of rivalry. He said that the boys couldn't take It." A return match is planned for two weeks hence. The single men asked for Q return match to take place ct the clubs picnic on August 30th but their opponents claimed that they were merely trying to side-step the issue as all participants will prob. ably be active on various committees and another set of colmbatants would have to be gathered to protect their honor.
 Fred Bcllemore acted as umpire and the teams were made up as fol- lows:
 Married Men: Manager, Oniel darceau: catcher, Conrad A. Barril; pitcher, TlcidaS Garceau; first base, Louis Leclerc: second base, Maurice J.

One MethOl 1 sk Practice

One MethOI eE Practice
 Beginners should not overlook the possibilities of practicing their strokes at such times as when they are returning the balls to an op- ponent's side of the net.
 Instead of tossing the balls over the net, or merely batting them over at random, the ball should be tossed up, one at c time, and stroked in the same manner as one would play Q forehand or backhand drive
 Since . great many players
 persist in bouncing the ball off
 Ihe court when attempting to
 do this, or toss the ball too
 high, causing the ball to bounce
 too high. they encounter some
 difficulty in playing their
 strokes smoothly and accurately.
 First off, the feet should be parallel to the intended line oi flight of the ball .. body side ways to the net. The ball should then be tossed up to about the height of ones head, tn rackt start- ing back in 6 circular swing at the same time. Hit the ball waist high. The back-swing should al- ways be made slowly in comparison to the speed of the forward-swing.
 The guaging of the bounce is the most important factor In executing smooth. rhythmic drive. Remember the length of your arm and racket and keep well away and off to one side of the ball. If you are to re- turn the balls back to your oppon- ent's side of the net, play Ghe bal with a moderate amount Of speed and direct your shot straight to him Don't bounce the ball off the court Toss 1t upward, permitting it e bounce normally to about waist height. Hit it at the top of % bounce, and concentrate on youl swing.

FROM OUR
EXCHANGES
ARGUMENTS ELIMINATED
ON DELAWARE HIGHWAYS

The first principle of modern road
building is the effort to eliminate
the dangers of motor driving and is
constantly changing the methods OF
building the newer highways.
In accordance with the steady eff
fort on the part of road builders to
make the highways safer for increas
ing traffic, w. w. Mack, Chief Engi-
neer of the State Highway Commits
sion, is gradually eliminating head
walls or abutments from the road
sides. Once though to be so neces-
sary, modern engineering has found
them to be extremely hazardous con-
sidering the fact that an Grant auto
mobile is in much less danger Of being
demolished and causing loss of life if
it plunges off the highway into a
ditch or field than if it hits heavy
concrete side wall jutting up along
the roadside.
Newer concrete roads in the State
are now being built without the old
er fashioned abutments or head walls
and as quickly and economically as
passible, workmen are tearing down
the concrete structures built along
the older roads. The work is being
done entirely as a safety measure
and is expected to do much in saving
both life and property damage to un-
fortunate motorists.
