BRANDYWINE EASILY DOWNED;
WILMINGTON A. A. DEFEATS GIANTS

The game between Wilmington and
Brandywine at Front and Union streets
on Saturday came near being the cause
Of several people landing in Farnhurst
For excitement it's equal has not been
seen in this city before The visitors
had a large delegation Of rooters with
them. and for the first three or four
innings, they stood by their team, but
after that uhey gave it up as a bad
job. The local rooters shouted until
they could not shout any more and
then they danced.
The Brandywine men took advantage
OF Wiegand's absence, the manager
being in Jersey City, and in the first
two innings scored four runs.
Leonard, who was pitching, began
to be discouraged and the whole team
felt bad. With Wiegand out of the
game they were not the same players.
Mullin dropped an easy fly and allow
ed two runs TO score. Brandywine was
JuDllant, and thought it had an easy
thing. AT the opening of the third
inning, Wiegand came on the field, and
was greeted with a thunder of ap-
plause. The locals had new life put
into them by his presence, and they
started TO play a winning game. With
Iierney on second and Wiegand on
first Linderman put the ball over the
left field fence. Then on a bad play
Hartman scored, making the score 4 to
4. This stood until the ninth inning.
when Sandherr. who had been playing
good game, came to bat and put the
ball over the right field fence This
won the game and the crowd broke
loose. The local men played a fast
game. and several star plays We're
made.
Today the Cuban X-Giants will play
at Front and Union streets.

When the Wilmington A. A. men get
together and make up their minds to
play ball, they can do it, and there
are very few teams their equal when
they reach this decision. This fact
was demonstrated in the game on Sat
urday when they downed the strong
Cuban X-Giants in a fast and exciting
contest The game was replete with
good plays on both sides, and several
times the audience was brought to its
feet
Kuhn and Monroe, the two short
stops, seemed to be all over the field.
and both men cut short some hot
liners. In the field Tate was the whole
show, and he clipped some balls that
looked like sure hits. O'Neil made two
errors, but anyone can excuse Jim
mie.' because it is an acknowledged
fact that he is star player and he
goes after chances that very few men
would attempt
Robinson, the Giants pitcher. was
on at times, and the locals found him
easy. Winham pitched a good steady
game
