were treated TO one of the best
games of the season at Griffith

fair score a run In the last of
the seventh inning to take a
5-4 decision over Terrace Gar
dens in a fought battle.
With the score tied at four
all the Mayfair club wasted lit
tie time in the last of the sew
enth to push over the deciding
counter. Pitcher Danny Bur-
back singled to start the frame
and went to second as Henry
Frank also singled. Burback
stole third and scored when
Centerfielder Darling grounded
TO Shortstop. The shortstop
threw to the plate trying to nip

score in the second on two hits
and base on balls.

in the fourth for a pair of count
ers to grab the lead for the first
time. Two errors and singles by

run in the top half of the seventh
on an error, walk and two
ficlder's choices to, set the stage
for the thrilling climax during
which Mayfair put over the
clincher.

to star on the defense for Ter
race Gardens, while Wayne
Forton, Mayfair right shortstop,
made shoe string catch of
Gary Lozons fly to prevent
further scoring in the Terrace

sixth to take the lead, but the
FloWermen staged tWo-run
rally in the last of the seventh
to push across =the-tying- and
winning runs. First baseman
Starkey's single with a mate on
third proved the deciding blow
in the session.

led his team at bat, getting three
hits in four attempts. The long
est hit by Dairy batter was by
Leo Rich, who homered in the
big first inning. Stan Krantz.

SUPPLYING ELECTRICITY

one OF DelaWare's biggest pro-

one Rk,A borrower with lines and
other rural electric facilities in
operation. These rural electric
systems furnish power to 3.17S
consumers.

fiscal year ending June 80. 1916.
In addition TO loans which may be
made from the allocated funds,
Delaware borrowers may obtain
loans from the unallocated funds
amounting to 500. 900 for the
current fiscal year. The law pro-
vidcs that not more than 10 per
cent OF these unallocated funds
may be loaned in any one state, OF
in all territories.
