WANTS
BANNAR AGAIN
Welsh Says Team is in Fine
Shape for All Wilmington
Race
BELIEVE TEAM THE
BEST OF LOCAL AMATEURS

The Parkside team OF the All-Wil-
mington League ought to repeat their
performance Of last year, and are
even better Than last car and are
virtually invincible." said Manager
Charlie Welsh today.
Charley las quite a reputation in
baseball, having been associated with
the County League for several years.
and with the assistance of Prince
Mousley, manager OF last years Riv-
erview County League team they
should not want for any better lead
ers. They know the ins and outs OF
the game. Charley has signed Irwin,
Devenney the clever little catcher
lote Of last years Riverview team; and
big Fred Lewis, of the same team.
who will fling them over this year.
These boys work we'll together, and
make a battery hard to beat. Fred
looks even better than last year. He
has a very puzzling crOssire deliy-
cry, and looks like a fellow with
nerve. The big fellow has quite
reputation with the East Side Follow
ers as a sticksmith and fielder, as
well as a pitcher
Pete Coffin who pitched winning
ball with the Landlith team of last
years Semi Professional League, has
also cast his lot with the Parkside
boys. and with such a good team back
OF him he ought to pitch the best
games of his career. Kalmbacher, the
big "friend from Germany" will hold
things down around first sack. This
boy was greatly handicapped last year
with a broken finger which he receiv-
ed while playing with the Riverview
team, but it is all right now and he
will hold up his reputation with his
followers as the cleanup kid. Russell
Smith will again hold down second
base and as an infelder be is hard
to beat He handles himself like Ed
die Collins, and since the boys have
gone to Riverview he will secure sew
eral pairs Of shoes for putting the
| ball over the fence.
Bullock, the star little shortstop
will again be back at short, and may
again carry Off the fielding honors.
Booth at third. is the seasons ino
and with such good grounds. viii
cover himself with glory.
Connie Mack who is a personal
friend OF Manager Welch, predicts 8
great future for this boy. The out
field will consist Of the two Britting-
hams, and Smith brothers. This is
believed to be the 1eetest bunch OF
boys IN the amateur ranks in VIII
mington today. and as outfelders they
are hard to beat.
Manager Welch had the boys out
Saturday afternoon for practice and
they are showing up fine. as this is
the same team that won the pennant
last year the club managers can't see
why they should not carry home the
rag again. Taking the team all around
they are a combination hard to beat,
and the boys are all anxious for the
fireworks on April 22. when brass band
music, the march across the field, the
unfurling OF the banner and pennant
and the cry Of play ball VIII be music
to their ears.
