Sporting Editor EVENING JOURNAL:
/ see by the paper last night where
Mike Flood has signed to catch for the
DUPONT team and John McGinley has
signed TO play second base for New
Castle. both of the New Castle County
League. Now Mr.. Editor one of the
rules of the League reads that no pro-

TO play in the league. Mike Flood was
trying for catcher for the Portsmouth
Club of the Southern League and last
year played ball for which he received
pay. Mckinley was given a try out by
the Wilmington Club of the Atlantic
League Now Mr. Editor I think both
these players should be blacklisted from
the league. Mckinley received a salary
last year for playing ball. As 1 am a
