are going up against some Of the real
goods when they tackle the bunch Of
players from the country where mos
ouitoes and sweet potatoes are. next
to good ball players, the natural pro

Wilmington fans need no introduc-
ton to Moore's bunch of Highlanders
as their work of the entire season
speaks for itself and their followers
will not be disappointed at the game
they will put up.
The Pennsgrove team while not 50
we'll known in this city, has a record
for the season that Is hard to sur
pass, having won twenty-three Of the
twenty-five games they have played,
some of the teams being exceptionally
strong ones, such as Clayton, whom
they defeated 2 TO 1 in 16 innings
Camden Giants and sewell A c.. OF
Camden; Bridesburg. Pa, and Pauls-
boro, whom they defeated last Satur-

Tri-State in game with Ocean City

The Pennsgrove rooters are com.

their bunch will doubtless be more
than matched by supporters Of the

BENDER, COOMBS
TWIRLERS AGAIN
These Veterans Connie Sacks
Best Bets for World
Series

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 28.-Bender
and Coombs, the combination that
caused the overthrow of the Cubs in
the worlds series last year, are the
pair OF twirlers that Connie Mack will
depend upon TO face the Giants if that
club wins the National League PEN
nant this season, as appears certain
at this time. This seems to be the
feeling among the baseball fans, and
even among the players themselves.
Plank may get chance and even Nor
gan, if his good work continues. but
these are only chances in the event
Of the breakdown Of either Bender or
Coombs.
The plan of Manager Mack appears
to be to 60 through with this great
pair of right-handers If possible
Against the Giants he is better forti-
fed than his opponents. Should
Mathewson or Marquard fall down IT
the series the New Workers. have moth
ing to fall back upon while Manager
/ gan and Krause, each one Of whom is
showing great end-of-the-season form
Connie Mack freely admits that he
is pulling hard for the Giants to VIII
in the National League. The players
are also strongly favoring the Giants
There are two plain reasons for this
Connie wants revenge for the 1905
beating, at the hands of McGraw
men In the worlds series, while thu
players want the great gain in re
ceipts that are sure to follow
series with New York.
AS to the outcome Of the series, th'
Athletics can outhit any combination
in either league, have couple o
worlds series champion pitchers wb'
have not deteriorated, brainy com
bination. and a wise manager. Tn
Giants have two great twirlers. goo'
