When Joe Sullivan threw the first
ball to Billy Wilson, the star catcher
of the DeI-Hoffs, there was excitement
galore for 100 spectators at the league
grounds Wednesday afternoon, where
Captain Scaulon's Wauregan Walters
won hard-fought battle from
the Del-Hoff Colts by the score Of z

was the result certain. Jim Hayes, on
the third sack, and Tim Sullivan on
first, held up their regulations as
ball players of the first water by gath
ering in all kinds of grounders and
flies, and mailing the runners every
time Jack Craney at short was also
a sensation. Lou Manchester, who
was in the box for the Del-Hoffs,
pitched in grand form with the excep-
ton Of one inning, when he let up, and
the Walters made three clean hits. He
tightened up, however, and would have
won his game if Captain Lavarge had

advance apparently puzzled the profess

lines Of stocks on all advances. At
the same time, bears who have been
