Crozier. ; 1 |Our boys are good at batting, good at throwing good at speed. A„d that's the reason, please to note. 1 they now are on the lead, And that's the place they're going to slay; Just take this tip from me. There may be sume who doubt my words. Just wait a bit and see. The man who leads these playing Chicks, I rate him number one; i Though rather small, he's Just as good I ae if he weighed a ton. When balls go out to centrefleld, al- I though he has to race, He gets them sure, that is the truth ■ I'd say it to hie face. There's good ones in the pitchers box, and one behind the hat; He's Just as good in that posith as if he wan't fat. In right, in left and infield boye, I'm glad that I can say, n I go home fully satisfied when I have seen them play. I often have expressed the wish they'd bring the pennant home. If things are things and looks are looks, It certainly will come; They're at the top, they'll stay there, too, until the season ends. And then receive the plaudits of their many, many friends. If wishes could accomplish Uhls, I know all would be right. Because they have the w ish of ail that they may win the fight. That is of those who love the game, both men and women friends. Will all be glad If victors when the » baseball season ends. TODAY'S BASEBALL CHANCES NATIONAL LEAGUE: New York to Pittsburgh, cloudy. Boston at Cincinnati, cloudy. Brooklyn at Chicago, cloudy.

August 6—Politics was laid completely aside at yester day's session of the Kent County Democratic Levy Court, when a heated argument took place over the open ing of a new road between Dover and Wyoming, known as the Burton Hoad, leading through the Waples Farm near Dover, recently inherited by George Burton, mands and argument put forth for the building of the road as a necessity, this road which has now been before the Court on several occasions, and turned down, was ordered built, and the matter settled so far as the county is concerned. The above road was petitioned for through the Courts of Kent county and the right granted by the Court to lay it out, the Levy Court, however, refusing to take any action, because of the alleged low financial condi tion of the county treasury. At yesterday's session of the Levy Court, Influential citizens of Wyoming and Dover appeared once more be fore the Levy Court, asking that the road be laid out. thus relieving the congestion of the main Dover and Cam den road. The road question was first approached at yesterday's ses sion by the presentation of a résolu tion by Commissioner Sylvester of the Sixth district as follows: ' Be It Resolved, That the bid of Isaac K. Gooden for building the road from Dover to Wyoming and known as the Burton Road, and the causeway thereon, and ot George Walheater for building the bridge over Puncheon Run in said road, be accepted and contracts for said work be awarded to said bidders, said work to be done according to the plans and specifics tions therefor, and to he completed by the first day of October A. D. 1913." Commissioner Carmean, of Milford, one of the Republican members of the court, who has fought the building of this road, because of the alleged shortness of the county's finances, moved to lay the resolution on the rl" g «°^ C t 8 0n | t0 Bug f e8t Lllat f e along the route des red the road, they could open their hearts and set their fences aside and give the public a road. At this stage of the discussion. President' Donoho, informed the court that he had- an opinion or ruling on the matter which he would have read by the clerk, which was as follows: ''Gentlemen: Our earnest desire is to treat all persons who have busi ness of any kind to bring before the Levy Court with courtesy and friend ly feeling. You have been here and stated that which you wished us to do. We have all listened attentively to what you had to say and after con sidering the condition of the t'reas ury and other matters, namely, bridges and repairs that need our early attention, we feel that we could | not do anything at this time toward building your road, and it you re member that at a meeting in July, Mr. Carmean moved to lay the matter on the table, until this Levy Court felt able to build the road you asked for. That being the case, we could not do anything until Mr. Carmean moved to reconsider the motion he made and should his motion be car ried it would then be a matter for this court to decide when we have 1 sufficient funds to build the road. I hope you will feel that there is no disposition on our part to treat you unfairly and hope the matter can be t a fc en U p -when the funds of the treas j urv are sufficient to warrant it'." When President Donoho's statement I had been read by the Clerk, Mr. James ( H Hughes, representing the advocates 0 f the Burton Road asked for a few moments to explain the situation. first asked Mr. Donoho if he stood by thg Btartement readi t0 which Mr Don oho made an affirmau e reply. Without mincing words, Mr. Hughes proceeded to condemn the president for such a ruling claiming it was unjust, unwarranted and Because of the de Ho Mecca Tires Standard Guaranteed lor 3,500 Miles. 25 Per Cent Less Than You Are Paying.

He termed su °h a ruling as high-handed ignor | ance on the part of those drawn into it, I an( ^ contrary to all parliamentary rul ! ln 8 9 - When Attorney Wolcott attempted to explain matters Mr. Hughes paid his re spects to Mr. Wolcott by terming him I a "hireling of the court"' paid to do the duty of the court and not to use his in fluence, as he intimated bad been done against the opening of the road in question. He contended that the appli cants for the road had not been treated fairly in the matter. Mr. Hughes' remarks were met with applause by the large number of specta tors who had visited the court to hear the argument. Others who spoke in favor of the road included George M. Fisher. F. C. Ban croft, Wyoming; State Senator Edward U. Carter, West Dover, and W. M. Hope of Dover. After the discussion had I eluded. Mr. Carmean was insisted upon j hy other members of the court to with- ■ draw his former motion by asking for s rescinding ot the same, which he did, a ^* r which President Donoho withdrew h» ruling of earlier in the session, N'o time was lost in getting matters in shape by the introducing of a resolution Commissioner Murray that the road 1)<> huilt and that the lowest bid made h' e roat l anc * presented to the court some " lün ths back be accepted, which was iv- on t: 'V c °ntract being given to Isaac lv Gooden, of Wyoming.
