The most ridiculous game of
baseball ever played was at War
wick, Nd, on June IL, 1894. 1t was
strictly one-sided, the score being
A to 4 in favor of Middletown.
Bert CHM pitched for Middletown.
Racing and practice tracks both
have been built in this section year
after year. Years ago a good race
track was built and operated by
MIR. James L. Dickinson. 1t paid
well. Then the same man built an
other track at Taylor's Corner. 1t
also paid well. Then Mr.. Charles
Rouse built fine track near the
VanDyke schoolhouse. 1t was also
a good paying venture. Later, how
ever, a medical doctor built track
at Pine Tree and it is still in
operation there. Now just recently,
Mr.. Edward Alexander has added
a practice track to the list of local
tracks and it already promises to
ioe popular and literally patroniz-
ed. These sport-minded gentlemen
deserves a full measure of success.
Edward Anderson of Milford,
Del. was visitor here on Mon
day.
Day after day the willy ground
hog is still battling the people.
With the sun shining for two hours
the little phophet must have spied
his shadow and then hurried back
under cover. In this case, he is
false as the bright, balmy days
have often come around after he
is reported to have seen his sha-
dow. 1t was the same as in the old
days Men used to go around boast
ing of his ability as a prognostrea-
tor, only to find out what was pre-
aiicted was entirely wrong, and
these men so confident, got a real
razzing for their big mistake in be-
lieving in the little animal. 1t all
went in a lifetime and eben to this
day some people still believe in
what the grounding predicts.
The Sunday morning service at
Emmanuel Church was well attend
ed. The Rev. Henry M. Parks
again gave very interesting SER
mon and it was listened to with
rapt attention. The text was 'In-
stant Pardon from Sim. He said
in part, 'That there is sin and
guilt in the world never has to be
debated. We spend more time get
ting rid of sin than we do in
avoiding sin. We spend billions of
dollars as the results of sin. Time
and suffering enter into this also.
The individual referred to was lep-
.er. This was the result of sin that
day. He found his way to Jesus.
This was out of the usual. His
faith was strong. You can make
me well if you will. God gives us
