WANTS VANDEVER
AND HIGHLAND
TO PLAY AGAIN
Sporting Editor OF THE EVENING
JOURNAL.

Sporting Editor OF THE EVENING
JOURNAL;
no sn ardent lover OF clean sport I
would Ike To make Few remarks
concerning the wind-up of last Satur-
DAYS game ior the championship OF the
All-Wilmington League.
II was one Of The best games played
at Front and Union streets thissum-
mer until Vandever came to bat for
the last time in the ninth inning with
the score 4 to ? in Highlands favor.
II the game had been played fair
and square It would have been a vic
tory for Highland. but is seemed as
II Vandeyer had It made up TO have
the game by using very unfair means
for they and the Umpire" allowed
fully 200 to 800 rooters and players to
stand from home-plate TO third base,
making II impossible for the Highland
boys 10 see who really was on base,
after Manager Lynch had asked the
umpire to put the crowd back This
allowed two Yandever men to score.
Further there was an overthrow
made 70 the plate, caused by the Van
dever rooters being there and when
Vernon. Highland First Baseman went
to the plate to receive the ball when
II was returned he was struck and
pushed aside so that it was impossible
for him to get the man or ball Is
this fair? Is this base ball?
The umpire, as soon as the Van
dever players and rooters came upon
the field when Manager Lynch re-
quested him to put back the crowd
should have Immediately called the
game until the players and rooters
went back where they belonged. The
player that brought in the winning run
was fairly carried to the plate by out
| siders
II Highland had lost the game by
clean ball playing, they would have
taken their medicine like men, the
same as they always have, but to be
robbed Of the game by interference OF
outsiders and players which we're al
lowed to remain on the diamond and
field. is not fair 10 Manager Lynch
and his Highland players
on next Thursday night when the
captains and. managers OF the two
teams meet President Davies, let US
hope that some arrangement will be
made to have the game played over
/ so we can see who really honestly
wins the remnant of the All-Wilming-
ton League.

RAIN RETARDS
WORK ON FRAZER
ATHLETIC FIELD

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEWARK, Del, Sept 25.-The work
on Frazer Field was held back by the
numerous rains of the past week.
The concrete wall which is being built
around the entire field is almost COM
pleted. The contractors are pushing
the work forwards as rapidly as posi-
BILE and it is expected that the wall
will be completed by the last Of the
week. Work on the drainage system
was started on Friday and now the
eastern end of the field is a network
of bitches in which are to be placed
the drain pipes. Around the track at
intervals Of fifty feet will be placed
small CRATES through which water will
run to the drain pipes below. This
system of drainage is going to be car
ried out over the entire field. With
such a system 1t will be possible with
fair weather conditions to use the
field on the day after hard rain.
The work In laying out the tracks
has been started.
The work on the football field is not
progressing very rapidly at present
and it is hardly expected that the team
will be able 20 play any games there
this season.

Harry Wolverton, the hustling man

MEN ON DELAWARE

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEWARK, Del. Sept. 25.-Mucn
work will have to be crowded into
this week to get Delaware College
football team in first class shape to
meet Lehigh next Saturday. All hope
OF getting Billy Kyle. the young
freshman, who played for several
years on the Wilmington High School
team. out before the end of the week
has not been abandoned. The student
body is especially anxious to see the
freshman come out. as 1t is claimed
by, persons who know his ability as a
player that he would probably siren
then the eleven so per cent and just
now when he is so badly needed, the
students are contending that he owes
it to the team to help out.
Should Kyle be induced to get In the
game it is likely that he would be
placed at full back or at least be given
a trial in that position. If this was
done Carswell, would move up to the
line and would greatly strenthen the
team In that department. Hirschman
and Archie Dean. are looked on as the
most promising of the half back can
| didates and with Captain huston, az
quarter. 1t is thought tbs backfield
would be fairly strong one, especial
" in defensive work. None OF these
players however have been definitely
picked for these positions and will not
get them If in the opinion Of those in
charge, some other player makes a
better showing.
| "Joe- Horty another Wilmington
High School boy, who is recognized as
the greatest punter Delaware has ever
had, may not secure a regular berth
on the varsity as was at first ex-
pected. Horty was looked on as a
likely candidate for the back field, but
it may be that the fact Of him being
light and also his lack Of speed may
more than on set his kicking ability.
The freshman may however get his
chance before the season ends.

ST. PETERS HAS
SOME THINGS TO
SAY ABOUT IT

Sporting Editor of THE EVENING
JOURNAL.
NEW CASTLE Del. Sept 25.-I, as
manager of St Peters b. B. team,
came to Wilmington on two occasions
10 arrange a series with st. Aloysius,
but for some reason | couldn't get
any satisfaction from them. l told
their manager that we wanted to play
the first game al Front and Union
streets, and for St. Aloysius to let US
know if they could get the grounds or
not for last Saturday. We received a
card at II o'clock a. IN. Saturday. stat
ing they would be over on Saturday.
It was then too late for US to get the
players together and so it was impos-
sible for a game between St Aloysius
and St Peters.
The ST. Aloysius said that 81. Peters
were fattening their batting averages
with hook and line along some qr,et
stream. We know that we came near
fattening our batting averages on their
pitchers. SO. st. Aloysius. IL there are
no signs Of a series with your team
and st. Peters, we will have to be sat
isfied with eighteen out Of twenty-five
contests and close the season.
l also wish TO state that St Alloy
sius are trying to make people think
that they have won the series, but II
is not so. We have now won the series
from st. Aloysius for the last two sea
sons. In 1911 we won five out 81
seven from ST. Aloysius and in 1912
four out of seven. That is proof thai
st. Peters are champions over st
Aloysius for the last two seasons.
Yours in sport,
Manager st. Peters b. r, Team.

Southern States
Are Represented at
Library Training School

Two hundred and twenty-seven OF
Georgia's q 900 pensioners have not receiv-
ed their pensions for 1912. and 1t will be
along in December before they will be
paid
OF these 227 who must wait for their
pension money. ninety-eight are new
pensioners, having been added to the
lists last year The remaining 12s were
kept out Of their pensions early in the
year because their applications had to
be amended prior to July.
The last legislature made special APP
preparations to care for these pensioners
Six thousand dollars was appropriated
for the ninety-eight new pensioners and
$500 was passed up for those whose
applications had to be amended.
But while the appropriations have been
duly made the pensions cannot be paid
for the reason that there is no money
in the state treasury with which to pay
them. Pension Commissioner j. w.
Lindsey says he will not be able to draw
any more pension checks until the states
taxes begin TO come in about the first OF
December.
OF the 1900 pensioners 1900 are vet
Grams and 5000 are widows of veterans.
The great majority of new pension appli-
cations come from women.
