but there is likely to be a change in

who made it possible for Wilmington
to have professional ball this year,

TRENTON, N. J.. Sept. 5-Curtains
were drawn on the 1912 Tri-State
season at Morris Park yesterday af-
ternoon. when Trenton and Whining
ton again divided a double-header in
two spirited contests. The Chicks
were beaten out of the first contest
by a score of Ga, but they managed
to win the second, 10.
Matthews was sent TO the mound
by Heckert in the first game. and al
though he was found for nine hits,
he managed to keep them scattered,
with the exception Of the first inning.
In this session, after Marhefka and
McKenna had flied out, the next four
men up each made a single, netting a
total of three runs.
The locals themselves got two runs
In the initial session. when Myers hit
one of Brazelle's benders on the end
OF his bat and lifted II over the right
field fence. scoring Clay who had
previously singled. Both teams had
added another when the eighth SEES
sion came around. In this inning
Trenton put the game on ice when
Mitchell. and Clay got on the bags
through two errors and were brought
home by four hits.
The Tigers showed better form in
the field In this game than they have
for many a fday. Whitney made a
beautiful back hand catch of one of
Mckennas drives intthe second. while
earlier in the game Clay picked one
of a foot or two from the right field
fence.
In the second game Matthews. again
endeavored to down the Chicks, but
he proved TO be less. effective, and as
a result was found for eleven hefty
swats, two oftwhichi were home runs.
McKenna and Meyers were the -four
circuit swatters. and their hits alone
brought In four runs.
