Mrs. Rbeta Childe Dorr, writing In
enc OF the magazines OF the fighting
chance OF the city child. thinks that
the foes OF the child, poverty, disease
and premature death, should be fought
by an organized army rather than the
amateur skirmishers that give their
time 20 It. A lot OF money is spent
by each OF the societies working
against the evils and much by the
individual. but she thinks much more
could be accomplished by the united
efforts OF all. In this way there comes

Players and Fans Line Up In

in this town. All the members Of the
twenty-three clubs in the four big
leagues would FURNISH up. and there
would be hundreds of hectic fans trail
ing after them. Why. a view of some

chaps-those justices of the Supreme

And maybe all the small leagues
would want to get in line. too. There's
a bunch of them. and some of them
are burning the midnight oil studying
the science of baseball There are no
boobs in baseball I'm this county. and
don't you forget Il. They'd all be
worth seeing, and every fan ten miles
about Wilmington would give his
straw hat to see these heroes.
It wouldn't cost much. that's GER
tain And what would be spent for
bands. carriages and other things
would be repaid in the higher interest
aroused In baseball here and in the
fun gotten out of the affair by the
fans. The chap who doesn't know a
baseball bat from a zulu war club
would enjoy such a parade. There's
never been a baseball parade in Will
mington, so let everybody get together
then and help to fix things up.

The suggestion of THE EVENING
JOURNAL that a big baseball parade
be held at the end of the season has
met with so much favor that fans who
want TO see all their favorites may
be encouraged There's a baseball
spirit in Wilmington just now that
welcomes such a suggestion with a
yell of delight. and If the teams get
together on the proposition, a success
lul baseball parade is assured.
Many County League persons like
the idea. and their support is certain.
The "Semis" have expressed high
approval as have some of the All
Wilmington fans and players. II is
probable also that the Catholic and
Church Leagues will be with the rest.
Wilmingtonians like parades of all
sorts. but a baseball parade would be
such an odd thing that It would win
more attention than any.

the intield is as fast as any in the

is the absence of a second strong
