CHICKENS TEAM
DOWN And OUT"
Lack Of Patronage Made 1t
Unable For the Club TO
Continue Playing

After struggling for an existence
since the beginning of the season, the
blue Hens Chickens" Of the Union
League practically disbanded yester-
day afternoon, and those players who
had the money necessary for car faN
have left the city for their respective
homes.
1t is reported that the team may not
go to pieces entirely, as Dave zearfoss,
its captain. went to Bridgeport, Conn.
this morning, in response to a tele-
gram from persons. in that city who
desire to put a team in there, and who
having heard of the work of tha VII
mington team, desire to have it trans
ferred there.
William +. c. Waller, who managed
the club, has accepted a position AS
manager Of the Wilmington Tri-State
team. and has assumed his duties over
the bridge Mr.. Waller states that de
did everything in his power to keep
the Union League going here, and has
even gone down in his own pocket to
a considerable extent to meet obliga-
tions. and only gave up the PROPOSE
ton when he saw it was an impossible
ity to keep it together longer. He fur
ther states that if all those who have
claims against the team will send them
into him he will turn them over to his
attorney, who win make every effort
to have them paid.
It was with regret that many pa
irons Of the national game here heard
of the failure of the Chickens to
make good financially, as they were
playing great ball and stood at the
top Of the ladder.
The ball grounds at Twenty-ninth
and Market streets win be sold as they
stand. or the fence. grand stand and
bleachers torn down and sold as old
lumber.

MAY RUN AGAIN

To discuss the advisability of hold
ing another roadability run, members
of the Delaware Automobile Associa-
ton will hold a meeting on Monday
evening. The run held on May 16 has
aroused great interest in automobiling
in Wilmington, and in all probability
will lead to the purchase of a number
of new. machines here. Should another
run be decided upon it is probable that
'it would be to the Delaware Water
Gap and return, which will necessitate
two days out. There are two routes
that could be taken One would be by
way of Doylestown. Pa, which would
make the course ia miles. and the
other would be by way of Bethlehem,
Pa. which would be a longer route,
covering 124 miles.
