MCFARLAND NOT
TO GET into GAME
President Carpenters Ruling
Causes Manager HeCkert
to Change Plans

Hermas w. Mcfarland. Of Whining
ton. formerly an outheldsr on the Will
mington team and proprietor of the
Academy Bowling alleys at Fifth and
French streets. returned to-day from
Harrisburg. which team desired him to
plav in the outfield. but Manager
Heckert did not put him on because of
a ruling by President Carpenter of the
Tri-State League. Mcfarland was
wired to Join Harrisburg to take the
place Of Left Fielder AL. Selbach, who
was injured a few days ago, and is out
of the game
President CARPENTER notified Manager
Heckert that il Mcfarland was signed
to play with Harrisburg. Selbach could
not 20 back into the game for the re-
mainder of the season AS Selbach
is one of the best men Harrisburg has.
and as it is not known whether his
injuries viii keen him out Of the game
for more than a few days, Manage"
Heckert was unwilling to take the risk
of barring Selbach from the game for
the remainder Of the season by putting
Mcfarland on. He desired Mcfarland
in the worst way to help Harrisburg
out of its hole. but now he will have
to play a pitcher in the outfeld until
it is determined whether Selbach will
be able to play soon CT win be dis
abled for the remainder of the season.
The physicians win decide this in a
few davs
It certainly was hard luck for Nc
Farland who is one of the most
gentlemanly PLAYERS who ever wore a
Tri-State uniform and who is exceed
ingly popular with the Harrisburg
fans.
The purport Of President Carpenters
ruling is said to be to prevent the
temporazg retirement of players of a
team in order to strengthen it for a
while to heighten the teams chances
Of winning the penart
Mcfarland to-day declined to coni-
ment on President Carpenters ruling.
although he said he was sorry he could
not get on the Harrisburg team. He
win start at once 10 orydn.zs bowl
leaeue which will have tournaments
during the fall and winter, and he
thinks that sport will be rlere popular
than ever during the coming season.

season will be on. Those old rivals,
wilmington and dupont, have ar
ranged another series for the cham
pionship of the city. the winner to
take on the other minor clubs. The
teams are recognized as the Fastest
amateur aggregations in town. X
Wilmington has included among its
PLAYERS only men Of ability and experi-
ence, having played together for the
last seven years. while it is only nee
essary to refer to duPont's record to
prove that they are second to none of
the amateur teams in this vicinity. In
former years X-wilmington has beat
en- such teams as Bridgeville, Seaford,
Dover. Cambridge. Atlantic City and
others of this class. while dupont has
defeated New Castle, Elkton, Newark

others.

mington fans. This boy is now doing
great work for Lowell, of the New
England League, and viii come down
Especially for this game. AS he is a
bona-fide resident of Delaware, the ar
ticles of agreement permit him to play
in this series.
Opposed to him will be the big
lsouth-paw, wild Bill" Crouch. who
has been before the Wilmington public
for several years, and whose speed and
curves has fooled the best of batters
Crouch was always at his best against
X-Wilmington, getting sixteen strike
outs in one game last year, and pitch
/ ing sixteen innings in another As he
has not pitched for two weeks on ac-
count of a sprained finger. he should
be in great shape tomorrow. having
taken regular practice every day.
In order to assure a clean game. the
umpire has been given strict orders to
remove any strenuous kickers from
the game. and his word will be law In
every respect.
The new club house which has been
erected at Front and Union will be
used for the first time tomorrow. and
the ground put in fastest possible con-
dition.

A Solution From Lewes,

Sporting Editor THE EVENING
JOURNAL. Dear Sir: Having read
in your columns the problem as to how
many safe hits a team can make in
nine innings without scoring a run.
would like to state that 1 think As hits
is the maximum. These can be made
in two wavs; First. three men can
single in succession in one inning, fill
Ing the bags. The man on third is
caught mapping. and the fourth hit is
made again filling the bases. The man
on third is caught mapping again or
trying to steal home and the fifth single
Is made before the third out. BY the
second way. the first two men singls
and are each caught stealing. Then
three singles fill the bags before the
third out. In each of these ways five
hits an inning are scored, or 45 a
game.
Yours very truly,
w. r. Mowbray,
Lewes. Del. July "a.
