NEW CASTLE. May 2s.
Fully 800 persons on Saturday at.
ternoon saw the boys OF the Dover
Athletic Club wipe up the q. A. Q. Base
Ball Club by the score of 10 to l. The
battery work of the visitors was really
fine and during this nine innings there
were only two errors against the
club. Radciiff pitched a swift, straight
ball and the New Castle players could
not touch him. He struck out fifteen
men and had but few hits against
him. the small boy tried hard to guy
him but 1t was no use. for he was q
cool headed fellow. The club played
ball In every position and surprised
the players and friends OF the @. A.
@. For the home team Leach burst
his finger in the first inning and was
banged out time after time. Madden
was In fine form and often had to step
out for the bali, as Leach pitched aw-
full wild.
Tho field work OF the club was far
from being up to the usual standard
Iof the New Castle boys. The whole
trouble was that the home team had
no practice. They would not practice
for Manager Herbert and consequent
ly they were very nearly whitswashed.
But the defeat on Saturday will BIO an
incentive to pay more attention to
practice, and the game on Wednesday
will be no one-sided affair with the
Holy Cross Guild. of Phlladelphia.
And the fgame on Wednesday will
Just take the cobwebs out Of their eyes
and they will be able to see the ball on
Saturday and expect to win tho game
from the Rockford. One swallow
never made summer, nor one lost
game never lost the State Chang ion-
ship.
Alonzo Young, while ditching on
Saturday, narrowly escaped death by
the bank cavlng in on him. He had
dug to the depth OF about six feet
when he heard noise In the ground
at his side and he made spring to get
out just as the bank came into the
ditch and covered his body.
l There was othing of him uncovered
but his head. He was taken out OF his
position by William Vickery and John
Weldon. He was more scared than
hurt.
Yesterday was great day on the
river with the excursion steamers.
Three OF them passed down and up
on their initiative trips and tho music
sounded right good.
