U. S. WILL DOMINATE


OLYMPIC SPHERE
americas track and field stars will
dominate the 1910 Olympics," says
Charles Hoyt, white, who went to
Michigan as trainer, and became a
builder of track champions. Hoyt re-
signed his Michigan post a couple of
months ago to take a job in the same
capacity at Yale. "Track is one of
this country's fastest growing sports,
says Hoyt, whose Michigan team won
its sixth consecutive BIG TEN indoor
title at Chicago March TO- Hoyt
lauded the athletic ability of Bill
Watson, Univ. of Michigan's Colored
shot-putter and captain of the track
squad, with versatile record whose
laurels were well-protected at the
Penn Relays, where he broke the shot
put record and gained place-honors in
other events.
AS in 1886, the strength of the U. S.
team will depend almost entirely on
the ability of its runners. The re-
markable performances of John Wood
ruff, of the University of Pittsburgh,
Bill Watson of Michigan, and Mozel
Ellerbee of Tuskegee, in stealing the
spotlight at the Penn carnival, should
cause the team that will visit Finland
next summer very little worry. We
can rest assured that the sepia track
aces will not spare the speed in that
memorable event. And still there are
other sepia stars who carved a name
in track circles during the indoor grind
John Borican, Herbert Thompson,
Mel Walker, Dave Albritton. Cornell
us Johnson, Archie Harris and Jimmy
Smith.
Ellerbe, it is predicted, will hold
his own in dash specials in future
meets. Ellerbe won the century at
the University of Kansas relays in
Lawrence, Kansas, couple of weeks
ago, his time was 9.5 seconds. The
Tuskegee bullet ran 9.5 seconds in the
annual Southern conference last year,
dominated the Tuskegee relays, and
hung up go at Drake. He won re-
peatedly in Europe last year, when
he toured Europe with the A.A.U.
track team. After taking a thorough
inventory of Uncle Sans sparkling
athletic lineup, we reiterate, yes, the
U. S. team will speak strong language
when they visit Finland in 1910.

PHILLY STARS SPLIT TWIN BILL
WITH BUSHWICKS

NEW YORK - The Philadelphia
Stars divided a twin bill with the
Bushwicks before $4,000 fans at Dex-
ter Park, Sunday, sharing the night
cap, 4-3, after losing the opening
game, sd. A late rally won the finale
for the stars, who were trailing 81
going into the ninth. Jud Wilson
doubled, advanced to third on Cue
cinello's error, and scored on Harris
single. Then Mourney walked, and
Spearman tripled to send Harris and
Mourney across the plate with the
winning tallies. The Stars lost the
first game as the Bushwicks scored
two runs in the last half of the ninth,
Parnell's miscue on Cuccinello's liner

active in its management. Mr..
Lurty, who has more time than

that the cemetery is kept in order

One of the chief projects in the

during the coming year includes
the keeping of complete cost ac-
count records by number of poul-
try raisers who are cooperating
with County Agent Russell E. Will
son and Kenneth w. Baker, exten-
sion economist at the University of
Delaware, in this plan for record
ing all receipts and expenditures in
the poultry business for period of
one year. A complete and conven-
lent account book for this purpose
has been prepared by H. L. Rich
ardson, extension poultryman of
the University of Delaware, and
sixty-one of these record books
have been distributed in Kent
county. Each poultry raiser who
requested one of these books was
asked to return the inventory sheet
to either the county agent or the
extension economist to indicate
that the record was started as of
October 1 of this year. Spaces are
provided in these account books for
entering all items of receipts and
expenses in connection with the
poultry flock, and at the close of
the year these cooperators will be
requested to send in their reports

One of the aims Of the Smyrna

and on the highway" Following
this aim the second program on
safety will be presented by Mrs.

phasis will be on highway safety
and what Delaware club women

son and Mrs. Grover King. Last
Friday the first of the Good Neigh
Dor Tour programs was presented.
In following this imaginary tour
the local club is cooperating with
the general Federation and the
Pan-American Union. The aim of
the tours is to strengthen the bond
! of friendly relations between U. 5.
and other American republics.
Mrs. Smithers Snow was chairman
! for the day, presenting a picture OF
the country of Paraguay. Mrs.

teresting customs Of the Latin
American countries, especially
those which have to do with court
ship and marriage. She was fol-
lowed by Mrs Elmer Corrie who
told of South American foods and
menus. Mr.. Edward Everhart

members an interesting account OF
this little known South American
product. Yerbe mate grows in pro-

in Paraguay and is used extensive

continent. Thousands of people in

brought out that with our country

much, especially after they became
