New CASTLE. Sept. 4.
A leading citizen called my attention to
the fact last evening that the admlrers of
pitcher Leach Of the Columbia Athletic
Club were subscribing towards the pur-
chase 81 gold watch to be presented to
the best pitcher In the state when he has
q good catcher.
There are none, continued the base ball
enthusiast, who do not favor such an
action but to me 1t seoms O little out of
place. Leach has helped considerably to
win the coveted lnureis for the q. A. @.
but there are others.
McCaughAn hns been keeping the bust.
ness around first base so well attended to
that both the visitors and the home people
have been more than surprised. At the
bat he has been putting up o great game.
He should be recognizsd.
Duffy may huve been somewhat reckless
IN couple OF games 10 rssenting the
1eers OF the grand staud but he has a
record for double plays. difficult plck.ups
and for lining out two -baeger when they
were needed. He should not be forgot
ten.
Ferguson may have made n few errors
that were costly but they were oocasloned
by the excellent short stop being too an.
xlous TO make good play. He has nude
good record o. the bat.
Montgomery has made errors and re.
deemed them by good plays aud home run
hits.
Fisher has shown his grit on the dla-
mond by pitching great game when the
eecore was to against the q. a. G. and no
one out in the second inning, He has
done good stIok work every time he had
chance and Fisher should not be left In the
cold.
Getzenberg Is a sure batter, good
catcher and an excsllent flelder. 1t would
| be ungrateful to forget "Henney."
Hayes has done goof work for the club
| and no one would think of forgetting 10
| services to the club of Madden, Who Zas
| been the soul stirring spirlt In tho o.uo
ior years?
| who plays ball from tie fret to the last
ball aud to win all ths timer Why the
answer comes from every corner OF the
| clty-Mudden.
His averages at the bat and In the tlsld
| show tliat TO is up with the fast company.
| His interest In the National game for
years and his allowed playing should DO
| rec ognized.
Therefore feel that the people OF New
Castle should give the players bonsilt
game. Let the players cell the tickets
during the week and let tho people show
| their appreciation OF tho manner In which
the boys have played for tho honor OF the
| C.i.G.
