CAN'T STOP
The CHICKS
Go Ahead Cleaning Up Games,
Trimming Lancaster
This Time
BRAZELL UNCORKS HOMER,
STARTING FINAL RALLY

The Chicks opened the new week
with another victory. Lancaster, in
for the first time and due for another
game today, was the victim yesterday
by a TO score. Trenton comes to-
morrow for three games and as Jack
sons boys look good for two of the
remaining games. the Chicks will
certainly bit the road on Friday dan
gerously close to those first division
teams that are fighting as hard TO
hold their positions as the Chicks are

The third game with Trenton will
be pushed in back OF the regularly
scheduled Thursday game, making a
double header in other words. The
double bill yin be the first of the
year here. This extra entertainment,
together with the fact that tomorrows

Tii-State team that ever represented
the city has had no such patronage.
why this is so is not understood by
The loyal fans and the owners Of the
team. The owners have spent much
money this year to give to Wilmington
n fine article OF sport. but as average
daily attendances of 1900 arc neces-
sary to make the game pay, they are
disappointed over much smaller at
tendance figures. while considering
that for two years Wilmington fans
have argued that II the city had a
first class team they would support II.
The team is here now. but the fans
are elsewhere. The Chicks are on
no Joke spurt now. They will lose
some games In the next road trip, and
some more later, but they are not
second division team by any means.
No one has doped them as pennant
winners but the team that beats them
out for that honor will have 10 reckon
with them The efforts OF Mr. Brown.
Mr. Cassidy and NIr. Jackson to get
such a team together ought TO be APP
preciatcd. and the fans will have a
chance to show their appreciation to-
morrow and Thursday.
The Chicks won yesterdays game
by consistent playing. IL is time they
made one or two slip ups. but they
were always masters OF the situation.
Brazell and Chabek. two OF the best
pitchers In Tri-State company. were
pitted against each other. But Otto
came out on top. He was steady at
all times, walking but one man and
tanning five. while Chabek passed
three and famed but two. Brazell
topped his brilliant work on the
mound with a homer over the left
field fence. I was seventh inning
