The Delaware ledger. (Newark, Del.) 1879-19??, 1884-05-10

Oxford, Pa, is the only place we can
look to for spring races. They will take
place early in June, and, as usual, will be
well attended.
The second game between the Will
mington and Virginia was highly inter
esting, though the grounds were hardly
in good shape. Lynch carried oil the
honers for the home team by making
three home runs. The playing through
out was excellent, but by few costly
errors the home team lost the game.
Score, Wilmington Z; Virginia, 8.
The event of the season will take place
at Suffolk Park, Philadelphia on Tues
day, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday

on May 20, 81, 90 aud 90, include the

The Wilmington club is scoring great
success. The management is to be con-
graduated on the way it is keeping
| the team in shape. From what we could
observe, Mr.. Simmons possesses the right
metal for a successful manager, Under
his guidance they cannot fail to meet with
! deserved success. In Mondays game
with the Virginia Of Richmond the home
team showed decidedly the best playing.
Up to the sixth inning the playing was
| almost faullless. In that inning the Wis
itors lost nerve, allowing six runs to be
made off them, The short stop of the
visitors was a miserable failure. The
audience was large and seemed well
pleased. We noticed a number OF New.
arkers among the audience. Whining
