CAN MAKE FlFTY-FOUR
HITS AND NOT SCORE

Certain newspapers are again worrying
the baseball fans with the question.
What is the maximum number OF hits
a team can make in nine inings without
scoringY For fear the problem. which
approaches the "Ann's age" puzzle will
cause too much trouble. THE EVENING
JOURNAL sporting editor hastens to
give tho snap away after quite a number
OF fans have given him all sorts OF an
swers TO the problem. 1t is tifty-four, or
six hits an inning. How7 Well. the first
man up makes a single and is caught
stealing The next batter also hits safely
and he, too. falls a victim to the base
purloining habit. The foiowing three hit
ters make inheld swats, filing the bases.
Now comes the joke A batter cannot get
credit for a hit where base runner is
caught so we are compelled to have one
of the base runners hit with a batted
ball, the man thus winged being declared
out, while the batter gets a hit under the
rules. No runs can be scored. That makes
six hits per inning. Six multiplied by nine
equals hfty-four All right in theory, but
nix on the practice.

BY PATHETIC CASE

A pathetic case, in which a Wilmington
woman was the defendant, was heard be-
fore Alderman Stockman, in Chester. yes
terday The defendant was Mrs. Katherine
Dougherty a widow. residing in this city.
She was charged by her cousin, Carmon
Dougherty. with assault and battery on
her own two-year-old daughter Elizabeth.
Carmon Dougherty charged that the wo-
man beat and kicked the child.
Mrs Dougherty tearfully told a story Of
persecution by her cousin. She said her
husband died as result of injuries he
received in an explosion in this city Six
months later a child died She and her
daughter Elizabeth returned TO. Chester 10
get trunk belonging to them at the
cousins house. The latter refused to give
Il up and Mrs. Doughcrty then took the
matter up with Alderman Rhoads in Ches-
ter. The cousin i'm turn had her arrested
on the assault and battery charge and
taken before Alderman Stockman. The
latter concluded that the woman had suf-
fered enough and dismissed the case.

DUPONT AND
WILMINGTON AGAIN

Monday being Labor Day tho dupont
and X-wilmington baseball clubs viii
play two games at South Side Park The
morning game will be called at 1915 and
the afternoon at BIS.
II Is well known 10 the local baseball
public that these two clubs are the most
bitter rivals in the city as DUPONT would
rather defeat Wilmington than ans
other team IN town, having been rivals
for the last three years, when most OF she
teams now striving for recognition were
unknown. Neither team bars any class OF
players and 70 quite Manager Fahey In
regard to amateurism. 'The NWilming-
ton does not claim TO be amateurs and
does not want 20 meet amateur teams
what we want 10 play is fast baseball
clubs. the faster the better"
To do away with all disputes the double
umpiring system vii be used and the we'll
known arbitrators Dawson and Shultz will
ofhciate.
A large crowd is looked for at South
Side Park on Labor Day 10 see these con-
tests aud some fast baseball should re-

LANCASTER TAKES
TWO FROM LOCALS
In First Game Wilmington
Gets lS Hits, But Only
Four Runs

LANCASTER. sept. 5.-The Roses
copped two games from wilmington.
The scores were 10 to 4 and 3 to 1.
In the first engagement each team
was out for batting honors. but the
fielding was slow and ragged. Biggins
was candy for the Rose clubbers, seven
of whom drove out hits In the fret in
ming that resulted in five runs. Singer.
an amateur, was then substituted. but
Lancaster kept adding to their count
until a total Of ten was collected.
Hafford received quite a formidable
drubbing, but he succeeded in getting
off very lightly at that. A catch of a
swift liner by Newton was the felding
feature.
Covelesh was ringmaster in the Sec
ond, and he bowled out eight OF the
visitors on the air route. For fve in
nings they failed to get hit In the
sixth Zollers laced a double to centre,
but was stranded, but in the seventh a
trio of singles by Gleason, Millman
and Weinberg gave the visitors their
only tally A double, Deals and
Grady's singles scored the former in
the second. Topham was very effect
i've thereafter until the sixth, when
Foster got a life on Hunters error.
ODell beat out bunt and both run
ners counted on Deals triple Score:
