NEWARK TEAMS
PLAY GOOD BALL,
FANS JUBILANT

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEWARK. Del. Aug. 19.-with the
local team Of the Tri-County League
playing the best and most consistent
ball OF the season which has pulled
them up within two games of the lead
ers and the Newark Field Club of the
Penn-Mar League. leading that or
eanization, excitement among the
fans here is becoming intense.
The Newark Club went to Oxford
on Saturday and broke the winning
streak OF that club, with a shutout
s to 0. The victory was largely due
to the great twirling OF Murray, who
allowed but four hits. The bank clerk
twirler, however, was given excellent
support and also hit timely. The bat
ting Of Morris, the local shertstop
who got a two bagger and triple and
the fielding Of Gregg in center were
other features
AS a result OF the Tri-County
League games on Saturday, there
were some changes in the standing Of
the teams. Port Deposit was ousted
from the lead by Havre de Grace.
In game between these two teams.
the latter, through the fine pitching
Of Schweitzer. formerly OF the VIII
mington Tri-State team, won 2 to O.
Schweitzer allowed but two hits. Tay-
lor, who will likely be given a tryout
by Wilmington, pitched good ball for
Port Deposit, as did Hoffecker for
the Elk Mills team, another twirler
that the Wilmington Tri-State Club
expects TO try out.
Newark will play a double header
with Aberdeen here next Saturday
and Vic Willis and Murray will likely
do the twirling for the locals. 1t is
possible that by winning these two
games Newark would move up in the
race.
The Newark Field Club team took
the lead in the Penn-Mar League race
by winning from Elkton u to l on
the local grounds. Hemphill, the no
hit pitcher of the league. who twirled
for the Field Club. allowed only three
hits, making but six made OFF his
delivery in the three games that he
has pitched and won.
The standing Of the teams in the

team has played good ball, but the
efforts OF the club owners have been
met with Indifferent success and with
the lack OF support. together with
tho many inopportune rainy days. has
forced them for the frst time to ask
the assistance of the public.
Every fan should turn out TO this
special game. In many Tri-State
cities such games have drawn the
largest crowds OF the season and the
fans Of this city should welcome the
opportunity to do likewise
The Chicks have eight more games
at home, including the Reading games
today and tomorrow. The fans
should patronize these games.

Dartmouth Veteran
Uses His Invention

NEW YORK. Oct AL Farrier.
the former Dartmouth center and
member of the All-American team,
has devised an apparatus for marking
the number of downs and the position
OF the ball in football games, which
has proved very satisfactory. Farrier
Is mechanical engineer now and
his practical mind saw the necessity
for something of this kind and then
invented II. The device was used at
New Brighton, where Farrier officiat-
ed as referee.
The apparatus consists Of an indi-
to the end of a sx-foot pole. The
whole instrument is painted white so
that 1t readily can be seen across the
field. A spring, which is released by
a button, snaps up the numbers from
| to and all that the head linesman
has to do at the beginning OF each
scrlmmaBe Is to press the button and
up flies the number of the down so
that II can be seen by players. officials
and spectators The pole Is held at a
point parallel with the hall and in
dicates its position.
Farrier also had with him short
these was left at the spot from which
the previous scrimmage was made
80 that penalties could be inflicted
from this point when the rules so
designated. This idea was originated
by Levine of Pennsylvania and is In
dorsed by officials although II has
not been recognized yet nv the rules
committee. Those who saw the two
devices thought that they both were
worthy of adaptation for use in all
the games.
