relate, the whole Wilmington team play
ed an absolutely errorless game. Oa the
other hand the NETS" pitchers were not
only hit heavily, but four errors and
nine bases on balls were donations to
swell Wilmington's score.
IL WAS a game worth seeing. even
though the score has such one sided
appearance. The playing OF the local
club WAS faultless. II the Wilmington
club has learned TO play such ball while
away. as 1t put up yesterday, local cranks
are willing to forgive tho many defeats

Spratt particularly ingratlated him

The "Mets" we're able to get but SIX
hits of Nops and were only allowed one
base on balls. Besides, Jerry struck out
seven men.
In the first inning It looked like a game

himself together and prevented them

and MeIntyrs scored. Newell followed
with another single and Wise and Spratt
scored Meanwhile Nops had struck

third, leaving Gallagher and Newell on
bases
From that time on 1t Was the easiest
thing imaginable to prevent the "Mets"
from scoring. Every man played as

things be knew.

been playing left field wss replaced by
Drew, and Amols took the place OF the
