ming the majority of games from the
different town teams they have met

lay claim to the championship title
Of Delaware and the Eastern Shore OF
Maryland, and are willing to play one
game or more with any team that dis
putes the claim.
At a meeting Of the association held

unless games with fast teams could
be secured. The other towns Seaford
has been playing ball with have all
stopped and Seaford has no one to
play.

not be accorded the Peninsula cham

puted his claim and especially would
like to arrange a game with the du-
Pont club or Gas Company Club of
Wilmington. Manager Wiley did not

MARSHALLTON STICKS
BY HIGHLAND CHAMPS

Sporting Editor EVENING JOURNAL.
Permit me a small space in one Of
your columns for the following state
ment: AS the season is about over and
the pennant won by the Highland club
we wish to extend our heartiest con-
gratulations to Mr. Moore and mis-
teammates for the kindness and gen.
tlemanly conduct shown to US while
on our diamond at Marshallton. We
the undersigned wish to state that Mr.
Moore has the strongest team in the
league at the present time and he has
won the pennant by hard work and
clean ball playing. AS far as can
understand the Newport team has had
trouble over the umpire's decision on
Saturday. AS to Harry Thomas,
would not ask for a man to do any
better than I saw him do at Newport
on last Saturday But Br. Lyman has
still his old failings as to saying that
old story, Ball Ball, Ball" He ought
to be put on the middle OF the plate
for a while and then see II he knows
whether the ball is going over the
plate or not. If he had been on the
plate on Saturday when he called
those three balls he would not be able
to tell what struck him as all three
strikes would have struck him In the
same place.
We have received a letter from Mr.
Weer saying he would like to play US
for $25 side on any neutral grounds
in the city. But We have played Mr..
Weer's team four times this summer
and defeated them three of the four
games and still he is not satisfied with
that. In the last game we played with
Newport we we're very badly crippled
Two of our men were sick and our
chief pitcher, Edward Downey, left us
to join the Persey City team OF the
Eastern League, the week before New
port was to play US. So we had to use
Mr.. Bennett who proved too much for
Newport as Mr.. Thomas held him ur
in fine style making Newport die hard
as they always do. Mr. Young, Of New.
port. and Mr.. Speakman we're the nm
pires Mr.. Young was taken out in the
/ fifth inning and replaced by Mr. Ly
nam. A Newport fan was heard to SAL
''Youngie is not giving US enough, lett
put Lyman in" Now, boys, the seasoI
is about over. and the pennant won b,
/ a bunch Of gentlemen who worked
hard for It, so why not let them hav,
it? Mr.. Abrahams who has kept things
going has certainly worked hard L
! prevent his league being disgraced b,
such a thing as happened last satur
day.
Forget that and let's start and ge
In line for another season but don
forget to play clean ball and you will
be better off in the long run.
Sincerely yours,
\ ]. B. Davis.

QUESTIONS ANSWERED

sporting editor the EVENING JOUR-
NAL
Dear sir-Will you please answer
Through your Questions Answered"
the following:
/. No one on base, pitcher starts
Ito wind up" but stops; is the bat
tier entitled to 60 to first?
A man on the same side as the
batter stands behind the catcher to
Hook at the pitchers curves, can a
strike be called on the batter if the
umpire sees it?
8. A man cuts first, the base UNI
spire does not see it, but the other
7ltmpire does can the one that sees
tthe failure to touch the base call the
srunner out if his attention is called
I to it and the ball is thrown to first?
Yours truly, T. P. H.
1. No.
2. 1T" what? The strike" or the
man behind the catcher?" The ques-
81 ion is vague. AS general PROPOSE
81 ion we will not go far wrong in say
n ng that the umpire is right in calling
81 he pitch strike If it is a strike
otherwise not. Do you get us?
3. The fool rules do not distinctly
sover this point. They do, however,
HDrovide that such decisions shrould
Ne made by the field umpire In pro-
essional baseball such decisions are
powered by rulings by the league
N1residents. Lacking such rulings we
n hould say that the man was not out.
