REVIEW OF THE SPORTS
'BRIDGERS" WANT
TO BEAT DUPONT
South Side Will Work Hard
on Saturday to Take Game
From "POWdermakerS"

The followers Of the South Side and du-
Pont teams are anxiously awaiting the
game to be played between these clubs
next Saturday at Front and Union. The
sensational spurt Of the "Bridgers" is
causing quite little talk in County
League circles, and many seem to thing
that the "Powdermakers" win fall be-
fore South Side as did Riverview and New
Castle The dupont team will make a
strenuous effort to land the remaining
games on its schedule, as It is understood
that the DUPONT hackers are wagering
that the team will not lose more than
one more game this season. Manager
Reeves is anxious that his team make a
clean sweep so that there may be no
doubt as to their supremacy.
A good many fans are loath to give du-
Pont any credit for being at the top OF the
County League owing TO the fact that
the DUPONT had their team intact at the
beginning Of the season whereas Mousley
Carvin and the New Castle management
were compelled to build up practically
new teams. The "Bridgers" for instance
have but one man In the position he open
ed the season with when South Side met
DUPONT. This man is Banner, the staI
twirler of the South Side aggregation
The fans from Brandywine who now fol
low the South Side team since the acdui'
stion of the Bradford brothers Beck ant
Larry Stirlth arc among those that give
the duPent aggregation little credit fol
being the pennant winner. These fellows
claim that had Carvin had the team al
the start that he now has there woult
have been a harder road for the Powder
makers. with the South Side now play
ing classy ball. clearly outciassing River
view and New Castle in their last tive
contests. the followers Of the team are
laying their money that DUPONT will loos'
Saturday. The DUPONT people. however
stirred by this talk, are determined L
make a clean sweep Of the series and vii
attempt TO put South Side off the base
ball map next Saturday All remember
the stirring games played between du
Pont and Riverview last season when thu
men now with South Side we're tho back
bone of the Riverview team. These fel
lows would rather defeat DUPONT thar
any other club playing ball and viii figh
hard Saturday 70 do the trick.
Jack" Banner win pitch for the souti
Side team on Saturday. Banner has beei
sent TO Jersey for the entire week to ge
into the best possible condition for sat
urday, and he will do no other work thi
week than work out with the ball eac
day. The remainder Of the South sid
is in tip top condition and all are play
ing with the determination to get out q
the bottom place in the league. The team
will bat as follows in Saturdays game:

QUITS AS
TEAM MANAGER
Doesn't Like Criticism Di-
fSCtSu against SiSVSidliu
Team
By Unlted Press Leased specIaI VIC.

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
CLEVELAND. O.. Aug. 1S.-Secre-
tary E. S. Barnardt, of the Cleveland
baseball club, is today mentioned most
prominently as successor to Napoleon
Lajoie, manager Of the Cleveland Amer
ican Lague team, who resigned yester-
day.
The resignation of the leader of the
Maps is practically the sole topis Of
conversation in Cleveland this morning
and magnates I<ilfoyle and Somers lost
no time in setting machinery in work
in search for a successor.
In fandom, the names of Jim Nc
guire the Nap scout; Murray, of Phil
adelphia; Leach of Pittsburg and Bill
Bernard Of Nashville are prominently
mentioned to succeed Lajoie.
Everywhere there is qualification that
Lajoie is to remain with the team,
as a playr, for even among his relent-
less critics, the manager is looked upon
as one of the greatest players of the
day.
In his letter Of resignation Lajoie
says that inasmuch as both he and his
players have been subjected to consid-
erable abuse as the result of the team
failure to win he thinks IL is up tC
him to resign. He also said that while
il had been his ambition to give Cleve-
land its first pennant winner. he does
not intend TO let personal wishes
stand in the way of the clubs
success. In conclusion, he declared
that he pledged himself to work just
as hard as a player as he had as g
manager and to serve faithfully in the
ranks under whomsoever the owners
secure as manager
The Maps have done fairly we'll al
that under Lajoie as manager. In 1907
they had a lead of 100 points in the miC
die of July, when Lajoie was hurt anC
put out Of the game for the remainder
of the season. They were a good sec
ond in 1906, when eight players were
crippled at the same time in August
In 1907 they did not show well. Lajoi'
and others being in the hospital II
1908 they finished half a game benin,
Detroit. despite the absence of Turne
and Flick from the game and the ex
perimenting with six men at short
stop. This season the club has beer
in a rut, and Lajoie's resignation
the result.
