Police Commission Decides
One is Necessary but Will
Wait for Appropriation
The Board of Polies Commissioners, at
their weekly meeting yesterday afternoon,
practically decided an automobile whs
necessary for the good of the police ser
vice. It was brought out that the police
have appealed to private citizens for the
use of their automobiles In case of a
hurry call and the commlsslonera consid
ered that tills was not Just and proper.
That a machine Is needed In the depart
ment has been demonstrated time and
again and the fact that other cities have
taken to automobiles for service In their
police departments has Impressed the local
board with their usefulness.
At present the city Is overburdened and
the finances are In such shape that It I»
hardly likely that City Council will ap
propriate any money at this time for an
automobile. The commissioners, however,
will take up the matter with the police
committee of Council with the object In
view of having provisions made In the
next budget for the purchase of an auto
mobile.

amount asked, with Interest.
Dr. Frantz, the only witness, said
he loaned »1500 to Mr. Addlcks on
June 8, 1903. He said Mr. Addlcks
asked for the money and he paid It to

ITS SATURDAY GAME
I Sporting Editor THE EVENING JOUR
NAL;—In relation to the North End-Park
slde game on Saturday, I wish to make
a few remarks that may be of Interest
to some persons. I have noticed on two
occasions that It has been published that
North End was too fast for the All
Wnlmlngton League. X would like to
know where any one got that Idea, as 1
have said nothing to this effect. The
trouble Is that the league la down on us
because we wouldn't enter, and as I said
before we never said we were too fast
for the league, but we bar no team.
When I arranged the game with Park
side I did so In order to pick a team, but
the way they tried to roast us you may

hr.» thought It was for the championship V
of the city, and as any team wll. ha*e
on off day, I can't sec why they should
make such a big howl over such a gome.
It Is all right for a team to play nine
men but when It comes to playing the
umpire you have to go some. What
teams ever did win on I'arksiclc grounds?
Very few. if any.
The reason North End left the field In
the seventh Inning was because a ball was
knocked fifteen feet outside of the foul
line and the umpire called It fair. What
team would not quit? Parkaide knew it
was a foul ball for they had to give In.
it the score keeper will look over his
score he will find that Parkside got fite
hits and North End. 4.
Yours truly.
