Peachers Are at Local Ballyard
This Afternoon and
Trenton Tomorrow.
BY SAM MURPHY.

The Wilmington Peaches are on the
menu for the Tigers this afternoon, and
tomorrow Jack Carney's Trenton Tri-
s~taters, who have been cleaning up
Eastern League teams with considera-
BILE regularity, will be in our ball yard.
Those Peaches will not be the easy,
mellow fruit our athletes struck down
there in Wilmington one cold Saturday
afternoon when we romped away with
the game in a gale of wind.
Notwithstanding our volunteer team,
no one can say that we are not moving
some, please; even if those H~ighlanders
did push us through the narrow end of
the tube yesterday afternoon by the
score of 3 to /.
Real Old baseball.
We had real baseball, all wool and one
big yard wide, yesterday, even though
the wind did make us SILVER and shake.
1t was fast moving for the players of
both teams from the time "Umps'' Nc
Tague shouted 'Play balll' until Bell
died out in an infield fly in the ninth
inning after Miller had singled safely
to right field with two gone.
Considering that George Moriarity
was playing the red-cross Mike stunt
for George T. and his makeshift bunch,
the Tigers luckily showed their teeth
TO the aforementioned hilltop bunch
from the big town, who have had the
advantage of a months practise in the
South.
FriiI Was Going Fine.
Had friend Frill slung the slants for
the entire course we might have been
shiyering there yet, for the port side

champs of the American League pretty
well under his spell.
One Mr.. Hogs, a gentlemen who is

the mound for the Yankees and he
pitched to win all the way. Mr.. Hogg

Packey Mcfarland turned the trick
on Jimmie Britt last Saturday afternoon
out on Jimmies' native soil, and if Mr..
Britt and his father and his brothers
are wise. they will inform James to
take a back seal on the pugilistic
wagon and stay there. He is a dead
one, as far as ever being able to defeat
any good man. / told you Saturday
that Britt was a "wuzzer," and | also

was the under dog. and he did his best
to thwart off what he saw was coming.

1t looked like an overtime matinee up
to the ninth inning yesterday. Despite
the frigid weather NJ one would put UP
a serious kick if the struggle had gone
a few more innings.

when Jimmy Mullen slammed safely to
left field for two sacks. Engle, there
with a trusty wallop, pushed the sphere
over Hemphil's head in center for two
sacks and Mullen broke into the regis
tering department.
Big Boss Smiles.
F'rill was going nicely for the Tigers.
Big Boss S. was smiling at the exhibit
ton his near team was putting up
against the alleged stock farm wonders
from New York.
Conroy raped safely in the fifth. He
got second when Sweeney laid down a
nice hunt. Frill threw a little wide to
nail the Merry Widow at second, and
an extra pouch for the Highlanders'
third sacker was the result. For the
first time this season we saw the new
rule on a high fly by a batter being jot-
ted down as a sacrifice, when Bill Hogs
sent a long sky ticker to Bell. on
which Conroy cvened up the fray. Then
on to the final session went the fighting
Yanks, and the blood thirsty. 1t vas

the way.
Miller Sent In.
Miller was sent in to try his hand
against the Yanks. They got some nice
smashes off his selections, getting three
right on the nose in three innings, and
a bunt. Frill, in six sessions, allowed
four wallops.
Alas, Poor "krichcy.r
Chase hit a straight sling to left,
that Krichell allowed to get into the
crowd for two sacks. Krichell failed
to hold Hemphill's fly and Chase got
to third base, Hemphy stopping at the
sack. Miller passed Conroy, to
take a chance at Sweeney, and, base
ball like, the big catcher sloughed the
sphere to the crowd in right field, and

he agreed to hitch up with Harlem

Tommie fell a victim to d bad knee

Chase and Hemphill brought in the
two uns by which the Yankees carried
away the game.
Nothing t. Drag About.
To peat a team of m~a1eshifts. com
posed of players playing out of posi-
lions and amateurs, the Yankees need
not be puffed up with pride. They'll
have to hit a whole lot better in the
championship games if they want to
become factors in the race.
Yankees Arc Fast.
The Yankees are lightning fast on
sacks and in fielding. The infield looks
much better Thar last year. Chase is
there with his grace n style tina
makes him one of the classiest players
of the big leagues. Niles is lightning
fast. He gets them to first base like
an auto. If he begins hitting, and he
isn't going strong with the willow,
there'll be a big Improvement in the
Yanks. No change in Elberfeld. He
is fun of the jamaica that makes the
smiles break out on Clark Grifith's
face. The kid did not clout to any
extent yesterday.
StahI Is Good.
Big Jake Stall looks as though he
will come into his own this year. The
big left fielder seems to have grown
younger since he shook the managerial
duties off his shoulders. He hit the
ball N the nose yesterday and will
be n of the cleanup men this year.
Has KceIcr Gone Back.
1t would be fine for the Griffith bunch
if Jake could play left field as we'll
as he can hit. But little Willie Keller.
He doesn't hit 'en where they amt
any more. New York fans are hopeful
that Willie will be there with his little
dink punches this year. But I don't
think Willie is there any more. Willie
has about sent up his best stuff, and
his short bat won't bother American
League pitchers much this year, l fear.
