The com position OF the Quicksteps in the
game with Seaford on Thursday will be
similar to that In last Saturdays game
Barkley and Canning. who so efficiently
filed the points 10 the last game will be the
battery In this. The Quicksteps have
gained confidence In their strength and
would probably now play an Association
or League team with the greatest viRor
Everything is lovely and the goose hangs
high. Regarding that Saturdays game,
Day would have had to receive very strong
support in order to have brought down the
score. How far would the better support
OF Day have raised the Americas scorel
The diamond at the Union st. Park has
been cleaned Of grass and levele5. The
ground near the home plate needs attention
as It is rough with holes.
II wculd also bAa good plan to do some
thing towards leveling the grounds adj9in
ing the diamond. Take the base line be-
tween irst and second bases for example.
A low Fly ball which could not be caught
by fielder might strike directly on the
line and the ground outside being higher
than the diamond, the ball would rebound
into the centre Of the latter. This has hap
pened several times.
In yesterdays paper. after a note OF the
game between the Wawasetts and Reb-
mans, challenges for the Rebman were
asked for. 1t should have been the
Wawasetts desire challenges from any club
ia the State, excepting none Address

game against Cape May to-day at slaugh-
ter's Beach. A telegram Immediately at
terward stated that he was we'll supplied,

TONY Stannard is becoming a great
coacher. The Quickstep management had

The Brown Senate wants to know why

As a suggestion the ''Tpyon club might
cross bats with the Diamond State Club for
game OF ball. IL is true that the age limit
OF the latter is 10 years, but they would take
Ia the Typos on an even footing, allowing
them 10 runs lead. This would give the
type stickers a chance to show what bully
players they are.
Manager Selak says when he saw Newell
going around those bases Saturday he was
happy az a lark after SUNRISE
