SPORTING
GRASS DIAMOND
AT SOUTH SIDE
It May be Placed There Be-
fore the Approaching
Season Opens

1t is not improbable that the Will
mfngton baseball team. which will
represent this city in the Tri-State
League this season. will play on a
grass diamond at South Side Park, as
the management is contemplating such
a step.
There are several reasons why II is
believed that a grass diamond would
prove to be advantageous over the
skinned one, which is at present in use.
1t would be much easier to keep in
condition than skinned diamond, as
after a heavy rain the diamond at
South Side Park is a sea Of mud and
requires several days of sunshine TO
put It in good shape again, besides
much work in the way cf scraping and
rolling. which costs a considerable
sum. In the event of a grass infield be-
ing adopted 1t win be slightly raised
so that the water may drain off
quickly
Each season the management is COM
PEELED 10 eXpend a considerable sum
for the purchase OF baseballs as the
particles OF gravel and sand of the dia-
mond cut the balls so quickly that
within a short time they are unfit for
use.
A number Of clubs throughout the
country use the grass diamond ex-
clusively, and have found that the
games are just as fast upon them as
on a smooth diamond.
That the management Of the local
club intends TO -i1--e a second to none
club here is evinced by the men whom
they have already on the list and who
are waiting to put their signatures to
the contracts.
Before the season oens the grounds
at South Side win be put in first class
shape and everything will be done to
make them the best IN the Tri-State
circuit.

FOUR GOOD BOUTS
AT THE SPRINGS
First Knockout Scored Since
the Opening Of the
Exhibition

Tho boxing bouts under the auspices Of
the Delaware Athletic Club at Brandy
wine Springs last night were all that
could be desired, but the crowd was not
so large as was deserved. The club is
certainly entitled to more encouragement
for trying TO get good men here.
The contestants In all four Of the six
round bouts last night were fast and
clever and came here with a reputation
for hard milling. A knockout helped to
make the bill more interesting. but the
defeated man was soon revived and left
the ring no worse for his experience.
The six round wind-up between Harry
Jones, OF Philadelphia, and Harry Ber-
ger. OF Tacony, was a big mans fight
Both contestants were the largest men
seen here in a ring since the opening Of
the exhibitions. and they pounded at each
other from the first round to the finish
OF the last.
Jones had the better OF the bout for the
first two rounds, but after that Berger
seemed to be doing all the forcing and
kept right after his adversary continu-
ously. Once in the second round. Berger
received Jolt on the jaw and he dropped
to his knees and looked like a goner but
he recovered and successfully managed
to keep away from Jones during the rest
OF the round. The minute rest between
the second and third rounds brought him
back to good condition and from that time
on he had the best of the fight.
The -wind-up between Fred Woods,
Of Philadelphia, and James Murphy. of
fba oarno cftv was an Voodfs doht ht,t
Murphy won the crowd by his gameness.
Wood was heavier than his opponent but
"Murph" was there at the end OF the
sixth smiling as though he had won a
5000 purse Woods took the place OF Kid
Peerless. OF Raimyra, who was scheduled
to meet Murphy. but for some reason did
not show up.
The first bout was between Terry Fox
and Handsome Charlie. both Of Phiadcl.
phia, Fox taking the place Of Charlie
Harvey Of Chicago. The fight was good
one and in fact was about the best on the
bill and il was good draw.
The knockout occurred in the second
bout when Joe Sullivan. OF Baltimore.
was put TO sleep at the end Of the second
round by Eddie Carter OF Camden. just
as Sullivan went down, the bell rang. but
his seconds could not revive him and
Referee Ryan called it of.
Sullivan was struck IN the groin by ac-
cident early in the second round and
though he continued to box. It could be
seen that he was weakening and It didn't
require much Of a punch to put him in
moving picture land.
