NEWPORT AFTER
BELLEVUE AGAIN

Sporting Edition of THE EVENING
JOURNAL:-1n reference to the game
played between Newport and Bellevue
on Saturday, October IA, l wish to
state that the score was 10 to 5, in
stead Of 10 to 0. and also that all the
officials came from Bellevue. They
had 20 or 25 men. AS soon as one
would get out Of wind they would put
in another until he got in shape
again. Whoever made that statement
that we outweighed them must see
double. Both of Bellevue's goals
we're made in the first half before
Newport got settled down. II Belle
vue has any more open dates Newport
will gladly except one. We are opel
for any engagements. I am, yours

The basketball season Of 1901 in
Delaware Witnessed a great increase
in interest and in the number of teams
playing the game. Delaware College
had a strong team, and. while the
team had a slump in the middle of
the season after a strong getaway,
finally hit up the pace set at the open
ing of the season and, with a splen-

of its games won.
Friends School of Wilmington and
the Wilmington High School both had
strong scholastic teams and got away

that the club can now offer to the

This will make higher scores.

In this series against far better pitch

In reply TO Mr. Logan's letter OF

say that I received a card from him
asking for a game on October 2Sth.
The game was to be played either
on their grounds or at Front and

AS this date was filled and no ad-
dress was given. I did not answer his
communication.
As to our grounds in reference to

the two teams will first recover its
combined batting eye? The Giants
are hitting about .145 and Mackmen
well under 200. Neither club has
been stinging the missile up TO form.
One or the other is almost sure to
break through and begin whaling some
OF the padding from the official pill.
The Giants have been in a slump Of
deadly proportions. They were weak
against Bender, weaker against Plank
and weaker against Coombs. Aside Of
Baker and Collins. the Athletics have
been equally flabby before Mathewson
and Marquard.

Inc state militia MADE start IN
basketball this season and interest
was intense among the soldier boys.
The u. S. Regulars at Fort DUPONT
also had several fast teams. The Co
lumbia Athletic Club of New Castle,
had several teams which played nu-
merous games in their club house.
Besides these there were many teams
which also played Independent ball.
The game is a big drawing card in
Delaware, and, with the teams or
ganized into leagues, It seems TO me
the esults would be better. AS the
game is now played by many teams
they have a hard time making ends

the teams have a constantly changing
