Peninsula Ball Teams Put
Delmar Cracks on ''BIackIisf'

Sporting Editor EVENING JOURNAL.
After some consideration, the Sea-
ford ball team, which is the most
prominent factor in Delaware and
Maryland baseball contests, has con-
cluded not to meet Delmar any more
this season. First thought Of this ac-
ton was instigated by the treatment
handed the locals at Dslmar whenever
Seaford plays ball in that town. An
other cause that prompted this de-
cision was an article dated Delmar,
and published in THE EVENING
JOURNAL In this item it was stated
that "Delmar was baseball mad" and
from the general tone of the story one
would be given to believe that Sea-
ford, Salisbury or any other towns of
this section were not even in Delmar's
class. The writer boasted of having
"cleaned-up" for Laurel, fredericksburg
and Seaford last week and Delmar
baseball enthusiasts stood ready 10
post hundreds of dollars that they
could beat Salisbury To enlighten the
public, who might have been Influenced
by Delmars boast, it is well to know
that Seaford has played Delmar four
6dAuCo lulo bcdbOhs anu Mon bhlN VI
the four. The first was 10 to 0, for
Seaford; the second, 6 to 4, Seaford /;
the third, to 0, Delmar, and the
fourth, IL to 2, Seaford And it is
charged that the one game Delmar
won they did not do it by fair play
ing. Does this make Delmar look like
the greatest team on the Delaware and
Maryland Peninsula? The game played
here yesterday was disgusting to base
ball fans and since Delmar cannot
make it interesting for Seaford it is
not worth while playing them
Following the decision of the Sea-
ford Club last night, Manager Figgs, OF
the Laurel squad. also stated that
Laurel had not been handled the way
she should have been when playing al
Delmar and in order to eliminate fur
ther controversies would not play Del
mar any more this season. It is also
said that fredericksburg would take
similar action after the game with

U. S. G. A. COMMITTEE
ADOPTS BOGEY RULES

The Executive Committee OF the
United States Golf Association at a
meeting held on July 2S adopted rules
for bogey competitions, which 1t de-
fines as a series of stroke competl-
tions in which play is against a fixed
score at each hole of the stipulated
round or rounds. the winner being the
competitor who is most successful in
the aggregate of those competitions.
The rules for stroke competitions
shall apply with the following excep-
tions:
1. Any hole for which a competitor
makes no return shall be regarded as
a loss. The marker shall only be re-
sponsible for the marking Of the cor
rect number of strokes at each hole
at which a competition makes a score
either equal to or less than a fixed
score.
2. Any breach of rule which en-
tails the penalty of disqualification
shall only disqualify the competitor
for the hole at which the breach oc-
Cured; but a competitor shall not
be exempted from the general dis
qualification imposed by stroke rules
2 O), (2), and C) and (2).
II is suggested that a scale showing
the handicap allowance and indicating
the holes at which strokes are to
be given OF taken shall be printed on
the back Of every scorin gcard.
The United States Golf Associa-
tion recommends that clubs continue
to follow the custom of allowing each
competitor three-quarters of his full
handicap.

When DUPONT and Gas Company
meet on Saturday at Front and Union
It will not only be the beginning Of
struggle for second place in the
Inter-City League, but will also de-
eide which club shall secure a hand
some silver cup.
This cup has been offered by a
man who has always taken an interest
in local baseball, and especially in
the games between DUPONT and Gas
Company As these two clubs have
five more games to play in the !. g.
schedule, this cup will go 10 the one
winning the majority of these games.
Since second place also depends
upon this series, besides several
wagers made at the beginning of the
season, It should result in producing
some Of last years sensational games,
when the teams played four ! to 0
games. The probable lineup for Sat
urdays game will be as follows:
Gas Company-Zearfoss, catcher;
Young, pitcher; Mannering. first
base; Byron, second base; Duncan,
third base; Johnson. shortstop; Ban
ner left field; Townsend, centre field;

Delmar at fredericksburg today And
since Salisbury has not and will not
play Delmar, it looks as though her
great team will necessarily have to
disband.
The Laurel Manager stated that they
played Delmar a thirteen innings game
on their grounds with a score of 5 to 5.
IL was then decided to play another
inning and no matter what the score.
was the game was to be called Laurel
came to bat for the first half and
scored several runs, whereupon the
Delmar umpire, it is charged called ths
game, and said it was a tie of to 5
and the runs Laurel scored could not
be counted.
Federalsburg's kick is similar to
Seaford's. Salisbury has not made
public their reasons for declining TO
meet Delmar, but whenever any one
mentions the matter to Manager Por-
ter, he always smiles, and one can
judge the rest.
AS a matter of fact Delmar has a
pretty fair team of players and with
a little practice they might be able to
hold their own with some Of the Del
aware and Maryland clubs. From
all appearances the players are all
gentlemen and apparently perform in
sportmanlike manner, but some of
their patrons are too boisterous.
When they threaten to mob players of
visiting teams it is too much for Sea-
ford. The team is not looking for
that sort of play.
What Delmar needs is a man like
Charlie Truitt, their star player, to
manage and captain the team, and 10
boss and control the situation at all
times. He should use judgment in his
selections of competent umpires and
should see that a sufficient number
of mounted policemen are always on
hand to take care of all disputes and
disorders that arise between the Del
mar spectators and the visiting clubs.
This would insure peace in every way
and other towns would not be afraid
of having trouble when they play at
Delmar.
Truitt, who is a college athlete, of
the most admirable type, is capable
Of coping with the situation, and if
at the head of Delmar's team, would
have no trouble, whatever, in making
peace with the other towns. As stated
before, the Delmar players are ap-
parently all right, but it is what they
are backed by that causes all the
trouble.
Seaford, as well as other towns
concerned, is not desirous of creating
ill-feelings with Delmar, and doubt
less would be glad to come 10 some
agreement in which Delmar would
not be 'blacklisted." But the present
course Of affairs is injuring Seaford
when they play at Delmar and hurt
ing local attendance when Delmar
plays here.
Respectfully.
