Belle" the beautiful Shetland
pony owned by Luther F. Cubbage,
died suddenly on Monday night last.
This is another sudden death among
animals in this section of Delaware.
The men who have the best scores
in rifle shooting in the Delaware
National Guard, were assembled in
Wilmington night before last, when
plans were discussed and arrange
ments made for preliminary practice,
previous to the trip to Sea Girt, NJ
j., the last of this month, where the
first Delaware team will participate
in the interstate competition. It is
expected that the squad of twenty
men under Col. Ewing win go to the
Maryland range near. Annapolis, in
August for a weeks practice before
the targets at various distances and
in. the various positions. The Della
ware Guardsmen are handicapped
because there is no adequate OUT
door range in the state at which the
men can improve their marksman-
ship by practice, and also because
there are fewer than five hundred
men from which to select a team,
while many of the states have from
three to ten thousand guardsmen
from which to pick the crack shots.
william Wright and Charles Luff,
two white men who were confined in
the Georgetown jail for robbing the
store of Joshua T. Collins several
months ago, made their escape dur
ing a heavy doWnpour Of rain last
Monday night. Both men had been
chained to the floor but sawed the
leg irons and then the bars from the
iron windows. After getting into the
iail yard they made a rope Of
blanket, scaled the top Of the wall
and then descended to the ground BY
4 water pipe. These men were ar
rested in Harrington on Monday,
May Z, by Sheriff Lynch. Wright in
formed the sheriff at the time that
he would not stay with him.

N these days of much
dining out, it was sur
prising how many
ladies attended the
- cooking school spon-
sored by the Pierce Hardware
Company as a part of their If
tieth anniversary, on Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday of last
week. Perhaps it was the lure
of examples of easy cooking done
by an expert home economist
that brought them. Anyway,
whatever the reason they were
there, in satisfactory numbers
and for all three days. Three
types of meals were a part of
the demonstration, an oven meal.
one done in advance and served
as a refrigerator meal, and some
hints for a successful party.
Along with that went an exhibit
of three types Of kitchens that
ought to be a Joy to every wom-
an for the witnesses, and the
cleanliness of each. By no means
the least part of the anniversary
celebration was the cooking
school.

UTILITY-NEW DEAL
ACCORD HELD LIKELY
&CContinued from page one)

ECCOnClHueu from page 0ne1 :
utility .setup in the IVA area is
the. refunding of the vast capital
structures at lower interest rates.
At the present time, it is point
ed out, these utilities cannot OBJ
tain loans for new construction
and repairs without even consid-
ering entering the money market
for refunding. The reason for the
practical closure Of the market in
this respect is lack Of confidence
generated by IVA methods, ex-
perts assert.
Return of confidence would set
off vast refunding operations and
bring a great saving, utility men
said. That confidence could be
created by definite statement of
what the iva intended to do in
the future; how it planned to
charge for its current, and to
what extent it planned to compete
with private business.
Willkie estimated that refund
ing Of the vast capital structure
of his corporations subsidiaries
operating in the iva area would
result in a saving equal to one
half of the amount which residen-
tial consumers now pay for their
electricity. Such reduction in
fixed charges was seen as a fore
runner Of lower rates for electric
ity in line with IVA policy. In
addition it would release vast sums
for new construction and repair.

Today, Wednesday

Grey's Mill evened the play-off
series for the city softball title
yesterday afternoon, lacing the
Barbecue Boys 5 to 2 in an en-
radically played game at the city
athletic field.
Paul Duncan, on the mound for
the Greys, pitched shutout ball
and Mitch Byers for the Barbe-
cues allowed only one earned run,
but poor fielding and base running
marred an otherwise good game.
The scoring started in the Ord
with the Greys at bat. Ward flied
out to Flanagan; Osteen singled
and Kid popped to Hendrix
Faulkner errored McGriff's' roller
and y. Duncan singled to fill the
bases. Brothers lined a long fly
to center and Hendrix misjudged
the ball for a home run as four
men scored.
In the 4th the Greys earned a
run. Fred Byers singled; Flicker
singled; Paul Duncan popped to
Flanagan; Ward walked; Osteen
singled, scoring Byers, but Flicker
was thrown out at the plate. On
an attempted double steal Ward
was thrown out at the plate.
The Barbecues were helpless
until the 7th. Hendrix got his
third successive single of the day;
White rolled to Flicker who got
Hendrix at second, and White was
safe at first. Williams singled to

Cubs at Third and Best
They Can Hope for Is
Tie for Flag

NEW YORK, Sept. %. (UP)-
The Chicago Cubs dropped back
into third place in the National
league race yesterday and the
best the 1885 champions now can
do is to tie for th2 pennant.
The Cubs lost a 5-4 decision to
the st. Louis Cardinals who NOV
ed into second place. The league
leading New York Giants were
idle, being rained out in PhiIa-
delDhia.
The defeat means that the best
the Cubs can do is to tie. They
must win all their remaining
games in order to do that and
even then would fall short of tie
ing if the Giants won only one of
their remaining eight games.
A wild throw by Billy Herman
in the Cards half of the ninth
scored the winning run. Durocher
had singled to open the inning
and went to second on Cutie
ridges sacrifice. Virgil Davis was
purposcly passed. Ripper Collins
batted for Winford and forced
Fullis, who ran for Davis. The
play was Jurges to Herman and
when Billy made a wild throw
past first base on an attempted
double play, Durocher scored:

STILL. WIDE OPEN

The final series in both soft
and baseball seem to be still wide
open races. Things looked exceed
mgly dark for the Mills River
Farmers after the first two games,
and things also looked dark for
the Grey's Mill team after the
first Softball game last Friday.
But on Saturday the Farmers
completely turned the tables with
two sensational wins over Green
River, and now Manager Bates
finds himself and his charges on
the well known spot for the game
this Saturday. Then yesterday
Lon Brookshire's Greys caught
the BarbecuerS a little off bal
ance and evened the count in .he
Softball series.

SOME BASEBALL.

4 heap of baseball was played
at the athletic field last Saturday,
With Donald Parker on the mound
i'm the first game the Farmers
took the first game at to 3.
In the second the Millers got
an early two-run lead, but a crash
inc home run by Station evened
the count in the same inning.
Then in the first half of the sixth
Johnnie Jackson parked another
over the left field wall with two
men on base to win his own game.
Jackson pitched his well-known
brand of ball in the second game
and struck out 10 of the Millers
in the abbreviated seven inning
contest.
The second game had everything
TO make the fans hair stand on
edge. and. not to leave out any
play possible in baseball, a sensa-
tional triple play closed out the
Nillers in the seventh when a
promising rally had just gotten
under way.
The Farmers went into the final
inning with a ) to 2 lead. HOag
singled and Erwin batted for
Jarvis and also hit safely. There
were runners on first and second
and no outs. Then came the fire
works.
Hill smashed a long fly to right
field. Taylor backed up and made
the catch. Hoag started for third
and was tagged out by Station
after Taylor made a beautiful
throw. Erwin. who had started
for second on the hit, backed up,
tagged first and started for sec
ond. Station whipped the ball to
Brevard at second and Erwin was
tagged for the third out.

now finds himself in a tough spot.

a bit ragged, eight miscues being
chalked up against the two teams.
The Greys hit better than they
did in the first game and possibly
the Barbecuers were taking lit
tie bit too much for granted. Dun
can was stronger on the mound
and limited the Barbecuers to
four hits. 1t has been observed all
season that the Barbecuers either
hit hard or don't hit at all. If
Duncan can keep the handouts
on them in the next two games
the Greys have a chance of COM
