Rennie Receives Congratulations
G. Archie Rennie. who pitched the
no-hit game against Browntown on
Saturday is receiving congratulations
from all sections. So far as can be
learned Rennie is the only pitcher in
the State who ever pitched a no-hit
game. He is a New Castle player
who has the general esteem Of all the
people. Those here who have patron
lied baseball all year are elated at
the game played by the club. Gilt
edged support was given to Rennie
and after the first inning not a player
reached first base. Every player was
to the good and the same club viii
finish the series with Browntown. New
Castle this season won 20. lost 8 and
tied one game Browntown won the
City League championship and New
Castle whitewashed Browntown and
Rennie never allowed the Eleventh
ward players to make a hit. 50 when
Wilmington sees the New Castle play
ers at Southside Park they are sure to
see the real thing in an amateur club.
Browntown and New Castle played
four games this season. Three fell to
New Castle and the other game was
tied. Everyone is justly proud Of the
local club. and while Rennie is now
getting the bouquets there are other
pitchers who deserve the choicest
posies from the garden.
When New Castle goes to Whining
ton there will be a crowd of rooters
and on next Saturday the locals win
be warmly greeted by a good crowd.
