Tho Second Loual Championship Game
Results Disastrous for tho Wilmington
Club.
About 1900 people saw the Dover
base ball club take game from the
Rockford team on the Union street
grounds on Saturday. Clark, who is
undoubtedly the greatest twirler in the
State at the present time, pitched for
the State Capital boys, and he proved
an enigma for the Wilmingtonians
Kenny, on the other hand, was wild
and an easy mark for the visitors He
was relieved by Murphy in the sixth
inning The change proved to be
wise one, Dover only getting one run
after he went in the box.
The visiting team put up a fine field
ing game, while the local players were
away off in their fielding at times
The game was exciting, however, and
there were several brilliant plays by
each side. Buckley and Chapclle each
made bad errors early in the contest,
but they redeemed themselves after
ward, both making difficult catches,
that OF Buckley being on the "circus, "
order, The playing of Mcdaniel,
Phillips, Conley and McClafferty was
good throughout, whilo Beggs was
good at times, but he seemed to get
ratified at critical points.
The Dover boys all played well and
they We're applauded frequently for
their superb work. Higgins, an old
Wilmington favorite, covered second
bag in great shape, and at the bat he
was terror. He was little noisy
at times, however, and incurred the
dispeasure of some of the spectators.

found the ball safely six times. The

The Dover Club is now on top in tn
State championship race, and great in
terest centres in the game at Ne,
Castle next Saturday between Rockfor
and New Castle. Now that Dover ha
defeated the home team twice and ha
suffered defeat at the hands of the Col
/, umbia Athletic Club, the management
of the latter team is confident that tn
game next Saturday will result in
victory for New Castle and thus pu
! them on an even footing with the Stat
Capital boys. Rockford, on the othe
hand, ia equally as confident of sue
cess, and in order to make it tw
straight with New Castle some prelimi
nary practice will be INDUCED in thi
week. Kenny will take rest Tor
J whole week, except to practice, an,
when he makes his appearance at Ney
Castle he will in all probability be il
excellent shape. He is a good pitcher
but last Saturday was an Off day. Muir
ply will also accompany the local tear
to New Castle, and he will be ready
II necessary, to relieve Kenny.
Mcmahon, Wilmington's favorit
League pitcher, made his first appear
ance this season in the box at Balti
more. He was greeted by 1900 enthu
siasts, who visited the Baltimore bal
park for the dual purpose of welcom
! ing the champions home after
months absence and to watch the worl
: Of the peerless pitcher Of last season
who did so much to land the pennan
in Baltimore. As the Wilmington bo
walked to the box for the first tim
this season mighty cheer arose, tina
showed how anxiously the rooters wcr
watching for his return to the dia
mond AS tine game progressed an,
it became apparent that MACS" arm
had regaincd its old-timo cunning an,
effectiveness the crowd tumutuous
checred his every appearance On tn
, dimond, and repeatedly shouted tn
opinion that the Orioles would Ger
) tainly repeat last years championshi
! record. Mcmahon pitched mastcrfu
game, striking out six men and allow
ing the Washington team but six hits
Tho score refaaltcd TO in favor Of th
Orioles. McManon will pitch now RICH
along TO the end Of the season in hi
regular turn, unless some misfortun
overtakes him. The Baltimore paper
consider him one of the greatest, If no
the greatest, pitchers in the Nationa
League.
