Play BaIll

We wish to address a few words OF
friendly advice to Manager Long. of the
Wilmington Baseball Club. Whining
tonIsns and those persons living in the
towns contiguous TO the city are fond Of
athletic sports Of all kinds, and especially
OF baseball IL treated properly, they
will prove good patrons Of the game and
contribute literally and unst.ntlngly to
the support OF the local club. But they
are not ignorant OF what constitutes
club worthy Of support, aud will be quick
TO resent anything which savors OF play
for revenue only. IL is not fair to expect
them to give either moral or material
support to ar organization which, by It's
poor play, makes every citizen Of VIII
mington an apologist for It's existence.
We want good players, good play and
fair treatment at all times and under all
circumstances In short, a club which will
appeal TO the pride Of every Whining
touiAn and make It's victories the city's
victories, and It's defeats the clty's
defeats. Such a club viii pay, for every
lover Of sport will feel himself In duty
bound to keep It in the field to uphold
the honor Of the city at home and abroad
A scrub team will be fatal to the enter
prise. II Manager Long is not already in
possession of the proper material for the
formation Of q 6rst class club, the
soones he gets it ths better the public
will like IT, There are lots Of good
players in the market and good money
will get good men
First impressions make or uumeke
things In public IS we'll as In private
estimation, and II the people become
convinced that the local players are
scrubs" and the games fakes" 1t will
require 9 whole season to dlssbuse the
public mind
We need baseball club and we want
1t. Give us something OF which we can
be proud and for which we can lock up
not something which will demand our
most earnest apologies.
