CHESTER WAS EASY
Defeated by Wilmington by Score Of
13 to I.

Defeated by Wilmington by Score Of
13 to I.
A sorry bunch of baseball players
wended their way back to Chester hast
evening after a visit Of a few hours IN
Wilmington. Wonders can be accom-
pllshed in a short time, but the Ches-
terites never expected the drubbns
that President Connelly's team admin
istered to them without any noticeable
exertion
Carr late of the Marine team was
on hand and guarded the pitchers box
for the home club. and the way he put
the sphere over the plate was good for
sore eyes. The visitors seldom saw
the ball When they did. the total
damage amounted to but four hits. IL
win be remembered that Carr was In
this city with the Marines on July 4
and attracted the admiration OF Presl-
dent Connolly by his pitching abilities
and Immediately after the game with
the locals signed a contract TO join the
| Wilmington club when his time of SER
vice was over in the Marine Corps. He
arrived I'm town yesterday, and at his
own request was pitted against the
Chesterites Such speed i'm a pitcher
has never been seen I'm this city, and
the fans predict that with little in
struction the new addition to the home
clubs pitching STAFF will dvelon into
another "Rube" Waddell
Wilmington played an errorlesS
game, but the visiting aggregation, as
usual, attempted TO make "a farce out
OF the exhibition by criticising every
decision made by Umpire Fields
stony MoGlynn, who started in TO
DO the twirllng for the Chester team
refused 10 continue playing In the
third inning. He is suffering with an
unnatural swelling of the head. and ac
cording TO his own belief should be
first In the list OF league pitchers His
actions upon the field In every game
he takes part are open TO criticism
From the beginning of a game he at
tempted to intimidate and bulldoze the
umpire, but IL wouldn't work yester
day, and because he couldn't work his

RICHIE MAKES GOOD
New Pitcher Shut Out 5randywine,
Allowing But Three Hits.


In Richie the new pitcher, Manager
Barton has evidently got the find Of
the season. He reported at South
Side Park yesterday morning and in
the afternoon was put in the box
against Brandywme.
The new conner pitched great game
and made himself good with the fans.
Up until the eighth inning he held
the West Chester boys down without
hit and only allowed three during the
game Except IN the third inning
when he gave two passes Ritchie had
perfect control Of the ball. He had
plenty Of speed. good curves and what
is especially essential for a good
pitcher. he has confidence in himself.
The game was one Of the most in
teresting chat has been played at South
Side Park this season. Both teams
put up n great fielding game, not am
error being made.
Morris was again on the slab for the
visitors and he kept the locals guess
ing throughout the game. But for a
mix-up between Avil and Bradley the
locals would probably have scored but
one run.
In the sixth inning Tierney led of
with a single, was sacrificed to second
by Barton and stole third Hoffman
got a pass and stole second. Hartman
hit a high fly to short right field and
AVN and Bradley let the ball drop be-
tween them and two runs resulted
Brandywine made desperate try
for "A run I'm the ninth inning Avil
singled went TO second on an out and
attempted TO score on Bradley's single

The Motive That Leads to Knowledge.
They say curiosity once killed a cat
but if il were not for curiosity little
progress would be made. A Texan
tells the following good story about
his curiosity and what he learned
about food: zone day down at the
store l noticed a yellow package with
curious name, Grape Nuts The
name fascinated me and aroused my
curiosity. 1 didn't like to display my
ignorance by asking so bought a pack
age and took il home where read all
about it. When wife and 1 tried it
we thought it delightful and COM
menced using it morning and evening
with cream.
Before this I had suffered from lack
of assimilation of food and my
stomach was so weak that what I ate
for breakfast seemed to lie there a
long time before being digested. I was
usually in distress and had no appetite
for dinner. All this has changed since
my diet has been largely on Grape
Nuts. I have gained steadily in
strength, health and weight. sleep
soundly at night and get up refreshed
in the mosning Wife says I look like
a new man and she herself has been
greatly benefited by the food
After my breakfast Of Grape Nuts
] don't need anything in the middle of
the day as a rule but I always keep a
little Of the food handy and if / have
any sense of exhaustion I just take a
few mouthfuls of It. 1t gives me i'm
mediate relief and does not destroy my
appetite for dinner but seems Ia
sharpen It. IL surprises me that we
never seem to tire of Grape-Nuts al
though we have now been using IL

Il am somewhat interested
In this baseball proposition.
I'm redhot. ranting rooter
Very fond of pitchers battles,
Fond OF extra-inning contests,
Daffy over foxy team work,
Always out to kill the umpire
When he makes a bum decision.
1t is claimed, my little dearies.
That this pastime was invented
BY a gent named Father Chadwick,
Who was aided and abetted
BY old Grandad Adrian Anson.
Should you ask me who discovered
And originated baseball,
l would tell you in a jiffy
1t was Slxin-the- Sassy -Muslrat
OF the sporty old Ojibways,
OF the tribe OF Ojibways-
Who received their correspondence
Where the falls of Minnehaha
CLEAN and gurgle in the sunlight.
This young Skin Sassy -AIuslrat
Was a thoroughbred from wayback.
Very game was he, and nifty;
He could sit in for an evening
And corral the red and blue ones.
He could guzzle flrewater
Like a dry old dromedary
Stocking up at an oasis,
And il never seemed to touch him.
After scheming for a fortnight
All the braves he called around him
And explained his proposition;
Then two teams were straightwa,
