ABE MIDGETS
BEAT TIGERS

Showing more power than the
Tigers could match, Lincoln's Mid
gets successfully opened their City
league schedule by defeating the
Stadium Babes. 8 10 0, yesterday
afternoon on the Lincoln field. The
Midget title was won by the Bell
armine Lions last season but this
year the Bells have no 135-pound
team so the title will be decided
between Stadium and Lincoln.
The Railsplitters gained their
score in the second period after a
sustained drive from mid-field.
There were no long gains but just
short consistent thrusts into the
line that kept pushing the Tigers
back.
Al hough both Frank
Morone and IwaO Takasugi did
most Of the ball carrying II
was Takasugi who crashed
over center 10 score from the
One-yard line after the Bengals
had held them for three downs
within the four-yard stripe
The place kick for the extra
point WAS wide.
The Stadium squad threatened
but once. On the first play after
taking the Lincoln kickoff on
their own 30-yard line, the Bengals
advanced to the Lynx 30 on pass
from John Brudie to Ray Ryan
that was good for 40 yards.

PLAN FERRY TO NEW JERSEY
Route From Lewes TO Cape May
Is Being Seriously Boosted

Delaware and New Jersey State
officials indicated at Wildwood, N
j., last week that State and Fed
eral funds would be sought to fin
ance a proposed ferry route be-
tween Cape May and Lewes. Gov.
Richard c. McMullen pledged the
cooperation of Delaware following
an inspection of the proposed loca-
ton of the ferry docks at Cape
Nav. where he and members of
the Delaware Senate were met by
state Senator l. Grant Scott, Cape
May, and Cape Maly county offic-
ials. Senator Scott announced,
that representatives Of both States
agreed to seek public money for
the project rather than raise funds
through the sale Of stock.

GALLERY AT LEGISLATURE
Needed For Visitors Instead OF
CrOwding in on Floors

Exclusion of all but members
and attaches from the floor of the
Senate and House is the object of
bill introduced by Senator Will
liam Jennings Poore of Hartly, to
enlarge the galleries in the cham
bers of the two branches of the
Legislature It would authorize
appointment of a commission to
arrange for and supervise the
work and an appropriation to de-
fray the cost. The measure now
is in skeleton form but Senator
Poore said his idea is to so ar
range the balconies that people can
see the members of the Senate and
House below them, something now
impossible because of the way in
which the galleries have been
built. He said his plan also in
cludes extending the balconies
along two sides of each chamber.
Now when the chambers are
crowded, he pointed out, it is next
to impossible for members to hear
what is going on due to the noise
made by the people in the room.

withdrawn all CCC men from such
projects would be possible under a
bill introduced by Senator Harold
w. T. Purnell. This proposed act
would permit trustees of the New
Castle County Workhouse and
sheriffs of Kent and Sussex Coun-
ties to furnish to the Mosquito
Control Commission able bodied
convcts in such numbers and un-
der such conditions as the trustees
and sheriffs may determine for
employment on such work as may
be required by the control commits
sion. The prison officials would be
required to provide a sufficient
number of guards The bill would
provide for an appropriation of
$4,000 to defray the cost of trans
porting the prisoners and their
guards, and other expenses.
