Infants COmpIiCate County
League Situation by Trim
ming Champions
OUTPLAY THE LEADERS
In BRILLIANT GAME


Brookwood did quite a number of
things TO DUPONT in their nine-round
mill at Front and Union streets yester-
day afternoon. Aside from forcing the
Millionaires on the short end of a 5 to
3 score. the Infants played rings about
the champions, outclassed them in
both hitting and base-running, drove
Charley McDonough from the box and
incidentally tied up DUPONT and Will
ntington Gas Company for tho league
pennant. IL was the biggest day
Brookwood has had. The boys PLAYED
gilt-edged ball from start TO finish
and Won the game on it's merits.
Whether dupont and Wilmington Gas
Company will play OFF the tie i'm a
post season game, or the schedule be
finished by playing or the Saturday
postponed games between dupont and
Riverview and Wilmington Gas Com
pany and Brookwood, will be decided
at meeting of the league tonight.
Although local fans have seen sew
eral fast games on county league dia-
mands this season, that between du-
Pont and BroolSwood yesterday after
noon was the best ever. Four pitch
ers took part In it and two OF them
went to the bench after pitching
splendid ball. To pull out pitchers af-
ter pitching good ball may seem to be
an unwise thing for a baseball man
/ ager TO do but It was done yesterday.
aud not unwisely as $500 enthusiastic
rams, who know good pitching when
they see it, will attest.
Charley McDonough started to slam
them over for dupont and held TO the
Job until the seventh inning. when Nc
Call, late of the fremont Semi Profess
sional League team, went in While
McDonough was on the line Brook
] wood piled up three runs off seven
scattered hits. While Brookwood was
doing this trimming Beaurilas. a boy
with smile from Delaware City, was
standing DUPONT up with hut one
scratch hit. although the Millionaires
had managed to get run over the
plate in the second inning. while
Beaurilas was wild. But the brilliant
work started in the fifth inning, when
| Brookwood connected with McDon-
ough for four singles that sent three
runs across the pan. II was a lead
of two runs for the Infants that held
until the seventh inning. when du-
| Pont put two men across the pan on
a singing triple to right by Prentiss
and a smashing double to left by Har-
| rington, ueing up the score. Il was
at this stake that Beaurilas retired in
favor Of Pierson. DUPONT didn't pheaze
him. Many Brookwood fans thought
the removal of Beaurilas was a bad
one, inasmuch as the Smile" had been
hit for but one scratch previously, but
after events p devort ETAOIN ETAOI
after events proved the wisdom Of the
move.
In the seventh inning DUPONT also
sent Mccall in and the newcomer
worked splendidly until the ninth in
ming. when Brookwood decided Il
break the thing up. And they did. In
delied began the mischief by gettin
I on after Beattie's low throw TO Ed
gar. Hall singled. Algard famed, N
McDonough and Wright singled. send
ing Inderlied and Hall over the plat
with the two runs that put the gam
, I'm the cooler.
Z DUPONT couldn't do a thing in thei
last time up, but they had a buncl
of chances to get away with tho gam'
earlier had not Beauralis been so in
Z considerate. In the second inninl
Shuler struck out when one of his
timely hits would have meant two
runs; In the fourth inning Beatti'
Z famed when a hit would have meant
two more runs; and gain in the sixth
Beattie retired the side by breezins
when the bases we're loaded, and il
the eighth Harrington faild to hit GU
Of the diamond when a run was II
sight.
Beattie had an off day for fair HI
failed to get a hit, allowed at leas
six men to remain anchored on the
Z bags when he had chance to hit, and
had three errors. 1t is only fair =
Z explain that Charlie was laid up al
last week with a sprained ankle and
Z played the game yesterday because
Z the team did not have another mar
to put on his bag.
Beaurlias was full Of smiles while
Z he lasted. In the fifth inning he re-
z tired dupont on three pitched balls
Z every one of them falling close to
Z Brookwood player. Then the Smile

the Brookwood bugs shake with feaI
Z All In all. he pitched the best game o
Z ball since the days of Crouch's nohi
