pennant in the Carolina Association.
Buck Ramsey. who piloted the

Most prominent among these are
Red Owens at second base, Doc"
Millman behind the plate. Fittery in
the box and Damrau on third base.
Manager Ramsey's team has been
leading the league since May 2S, and
although his margin was never large.
the steady work of his team never left
any doubt as 20 whom the winner
would be.
Last year Ramsey pitched for the
Reading team. and this is his first ex-
perience as a leader OF ball club.
His instant success marks him as a
man who will be watched by the better
class OF minor league teams.

HECKERT TO
QUIT TRENTON

If Trenton is represented in the
Tri-state League next year, George
w. Heckert will not be the manager
of the Trenton team. Heckert saws
he has practically completed arrange
ments to take the managerial reins
Of another club on the circuit.
He did not care to state the scene
of his future activity until final
negotiations have been closed. That
he will leave Trenton. however, after
two years Of long, hard work is as
sured.
During his stay in Trenton he has
come closer to giving Trenton a PEN
nant winning team than any other
manager. and it cannot be denied that
with proper support from the patrons
and officials. that he would have
made good with a vengence. Baseball
conditions are such. however, that the
Trenton manager could not have pro-
duced a money making team for the
club. even if they had been pennant
winners.

Five games now seperate the Ma
tional leaders.
The Reds thumped the Pirates un-
mercifully5 winning both games.
Pittsburgh's seventeen hits in the
second contest were ineffective. The
Reds lS brought better results in the
scorebox.
A wild pitching epidemic in both
camps featured the White Sox-Tiger
game. Five wild throws netted four
runs. Walsh was charged with two
and pubuc with three. The game
went ten innings, however, before
reaching a decision.
Errors at critical times gave the
victory to the Browns over the Mans
Chapman's two errors in the sixth let
in three runs and the decision.
The Senators and Athletics clash
at Washington today with certain
benefit to the Red Sox. who now are
confident of gaining the pennant.
In few more weeks the lovers of
the great gridiron game will be in
their glory, and the sound of the
heavy boot against the pigskin win
be welcome. When the younger local
amateurs begin to stir it is a sure
sign that the pastime is coming into
its own again. Judging from the
present healthy conditions evident
this season is going to be the han
ner year. Never in the history Of
football has interest been so aroused
as this year. Teams are popping mn
like mushrooms over night. and the
forerunner of the bigger games is the
local amateur contests, which serve
to whet the appetite for the more
scientific college play to follow.
Just about the time they quit re-
minding Frank Chance that he had
tried TO send Jimmy Lavender hack
TO the minors. they get another
chance at him by recalling TO his

To-day's games are the last the fans
will see at home. Perhaps the Tren-
ton fans will show their appreciation
as the season draws to a close.
Despite the fact that the home club
has played as good ball as any team
in the league for three weeks, only
900 fans saw the Saturday game.
Good ball usually brings crowds. but
not so here. Wilmington will be
marked up this year as a 900 fair
town, which means that Tri-State bali
may not be continued here. Average
attendances of 1900 are necessary TO
let the team owners break ever finan-
cially.
AS soon as the season closes Dick
