NEW YORK, May 20-R-Dela'
ware Park has dropped the daily
double for several reasons, includ-
ing "a question among the direc-
tors whether the daily double is a
desirable form of wagering.
That serves to bring out the point
that horse racing does exist in
some places for other purposes
than extracting as much dough as
possible from the public. Della
ware and Keeneland are the big
eest non-profit tracks - skipping
such obviously Improbable ven
lures as Gulfstream park and the
Albany. Calf, track-and in the
pre- mutuel days nobody ever
thought the New York tracks were
exactly rolling in money.
THERE'S NOTHING NEW al.
If you thought Bucky Walters
and Clyde shoun were hot stuff
when they pitched one-hltter and
a no-hitter for the Reds on sue
cessive days, listen to this report
from Bill DiAhl of the Norfolk,
Va, Ledger-Dispatch. When
Norfolks bitter high school rivals,
Maury and CRANKY, clashed re-
Gently, two Maury pitchers did the
same trick on one afternoon, with
added flourishes. First Billy
Rainier tossed a one-hit, 10 vic
tory over CRANKY and Shortstop
Allen Richter made two hits.
Then h y traded positions and
Richter hurled 21-O no-hitter and
Rainier led the attack with five
or six.

Too Many Cooks?

Before election day it was the opinion Of many
people over the state that VIM. "Bill Peterson, who
rates tops as shrewd political campaigner would
be elected to one of Arzonas two seats in Congress.
When the ballots were counted it was found that
Hairless and Murdock had been reelected to the Wash
ington posts by comfortable margin.
This appears to be one of many verifications sub
stantiating Columnist Bin Tu1nbows forecast of
eral weeks ago that there would be few political up
sets in the primaries and that the elections would be
little more than vote of confidence in incumbent
officials.
With no claim to being on the right track, there
seems another possible for Petersens defeat.
Bill, as you undoubtedly know by this time is for
mer chef who turn out food that appeals to a
gourmet's finer sensibilities. The piece de resist
ance of his campaign 80-page cookbook Of his
personally selected and concocted recipes. Women
begged, pulled hair and promised votes for them.
Now there's nothing wrong with Petersens cook
books. Merely gancng at the cover will put ditch
diggers appetite government whte-colar work
But while the dishes formulated may be child's
play to Bill, some of the recipes seem complicated
income tax blank to an amateur cook.
Doesn't it seem plausible that too many cooks
in trying to follow Bills directions spoiled their
broths, and took their spite out Petersen at the
polls?

As you may have read in the newspapers, the Office of
Defense Transportation has given the railroads authority
to take train space from civilian passengers any te

We sincerely hope that people planning trips not essential

Noted Syndicate
Writer Accepts
Marty's Challenge

E. v. Durling whose daily
column is syndicated to about three
hundred u. S. dailies, on Friday,
July IA, gave national publicity to
his acceptance of challenge from
Marty Loughman, Nogales Tomatero
and newspaper writer.
Marty had fog-horned the wise
opinion that female dogs are smart
er than males. The local man has
a female Springer spaniel and want
ed to match the intelligence of his
pet against the T. @. of Durling's
male dog of the same breed.
After having the chip rudely
blasted from his shoulder, Marty
flicked a bit of dust from his coat
and proceeded to write a note to his
crony, Andy Bookas.
Dear Andy" said the Tomtatero,
well can you get up a purse of
80 or 40 thousand dollars to back
our dog?"
Bookas is rumored to have bar
ricaded himself in the back room of
the Montezuma Buffet, donned a
catcher's mask and chest protector,
and procured an umbrella He is
not planning on being Injured re-
eardless of whether the heavyweight
scribblers start throwing epithets
left and right from the jaw, or if
they decide to settle their duel with
printers ink in water pistols at ten
PAGES.
So far, Bookas refuses to be quot
ed. In other words, he amt saying
nothing. Needless to say, the same
cannot be said for Durling and
Loughman.

derstandings, Jesus made a start
ling statement. Warned He: walk
while We have the light lest dark
ness come upon you"
BY His use of this word eight,
Jesus meant "the understanding of
spiritual truth"
There are times in your life when
there will come to you a sudden
grasp of clear understanding of
some spiritual truth or of Gods
will for you. At such times you
should make every effort to Give
up" to such revealed truth. Such
living up to" is walking in the
light"
Light is not given to us to argue
about. Light is given to walk in.
If, when the light of Christ shines
upon your understanding, you neg
lect or disobey such spiritual I'M
Outstanding, you will find that the
spiritual truth which came to you
will fade away, leaving you in
darkness.
Christ is therefore for us not an
abiding light only unless we are
willing to abide in His light.
Few men realize the tragedy of
disobedience to the light of the
Divine will. Many men, ike Saul,
Israel's first king, knowing the
will of God, yet doing otherwise,
have awakened later to the fact
that they have lost the Kingdom of
Light.
Disobedience to heavenly vision
has resulted in a gradual setting of
the sun of spiritual opportunity.
Twilight sets in, and later dark
ness ensues.
Light rejected becomes light ex-
tinguished.
On the otherhand, the smallest
ray of light, when faithfully fol-
lowed begins to brighten and
brighten until at last the faithful
obedient soul stands immersed in
the glorious sunshine of an infinite
day-a day of spiritual JOY, rejoic-
ing in divine fellowship.

The hay harvest is about over.
The yield has been good.
Wheat threshing began last
week, and this week all the thresh-
ers are in active demand. The crop
is disappointing both as to yield
and price. Wheat wintered well,
and the unusually good condition
throughout the spring gave the
impression generally that there
would beaa fine yield, and this
would doubtless have been the re-
suit but for the heavy and long
storm the middle of May.
Smyrna base ball enthusiasm is
beginning to catch hold of many of
our citizens. Base ball is the talk

work that Smyrna displays, the
more enthusiasm is aroused. Stew

looked upon with pride. Truax,
with his agility, is star fielder of
the club and is being recognized in
other towns as brilliant player,
but when Jacobs gets at the bat,
you can mostly depend on him for
a home run.
The Smyrna and Dover base ball
clubs met in Dover for the first

game was one of the best ever seen

the game were the catch made by
