Tale
SATURDAY GAME WILL
BE HOT FROM HANDLE

With only four more games to be
played and duPoLt and Wilmington
Gas Company tied up for first posi-
ton. it is impossible to pick the New
Castle County League winer at this
time. IL is the first time since the
league was organized two years ago
that two teams have been lighting for
the league flag and from present in
-dications the fight will continue
along for another week unless either
Gas Company or DUPONT falls 10
Brookwood and Riyerview in the
games tomorrow In that event the
deciding game. figuring that after to-
morraw the leaders will win their
Remaining games with Broolwood
And Rlverview. the pennant winner
would be decided by the last game
70 be played by dupont and Whining
ton Gas Company August q. Up
until this time the teams have split
even on their series. and as one must
get the rubber" it will be that game
that will most likely decide where
the flag will float next year.
Teams Playing Hard.
Both the leaders are going hard
for the honor DUPONT has been
strengthened lately by the addition
of McDonough, pitcher. and Copp.
asutility man. McDonough, won his
first game in a iiffy last Saturday and
promises 10 be a great help to Char
lie Beattie I'm the few remaining days
OF the season. The team is playing
its usual snappy fielding game, while
the batting also has improved. II
was the stick work that won two
Cat sgsta
and Manager Garrett is expecting that
the boys viii hit as hard as ever to-
morrow and win.
b Gas Company. too, is playing the
finest article of ball. Since Johnson
was forced out OF the game because
OF a sprained ankle the team has had
"a hard road to travel. but not until
Jack Townsend was put out did Man
ager Griffith begin TO suspect that |
baseball luck was breaking against 1
him. But the clouds broke last Sat
urday when Townsend got back into
the game and now Griffith feels that
he vet has a good chance to win. OF /
course II is up to Brown to do the
trick. and II he does II there need be
no surprise He has been twirllng \
gilt-edge ball right along and looks as
strong today as he did one month /
ago. He was hit rather freely last |
and win go up against an
other hard proposition tomorrow. but |
Griihth is confident that the team
viii win. Should( Brown break had
Griffith would 6yid himself In worse
condition tha& he would be without
johnson aprf Townsend Yet that Is
another story, All In all, II is con-
ceedsed that the game between the
leshers on Saturday, August n Will
tell the tale
The Saturday Games.
-. No doubt there will be large crowds
--..st both Rivcrvicw and Front and
Union streets tomorrow TO see the
games. At Rivorview. Gas Company
-will meet Riverview I'm next 10 the
last game between the clubs. Although
Gas Company had defeated the "Nil-
.lagers" in four Of the fivc games play
cd II is by no means certain that they
viii get away with tomorrow's game.
Mousleys team has always made It's
opponents go hard TO win and only
last Saturday forced dupont into ex-
ira innings before a decision came
The team is batting as hard as Gas
Company and is In better shape than
Il has been since early IN July The
game ought to prove the hardest one
of the series between the clubs. Bert
Everson will be the umpire.
At Front and Union streets Brook
wood will go on with DUPONT, and
with Minnie Piorson i'm the box the
HInfants" ought to make a better
showing than ever against the mil |
lionaires." Minnie has been throwing
them over in great shape since he
broke into the league and Manager
Traynor is confident that the lad will
stand the champions up this time.
lPierson has but two more chances 10
turn the trick and he will work hard
tomorrow TO land the first game II
