AN ALL-STAR
AMERICAN LEAGUE
TEAM PICKED

II the Red sox win the pennant
this season, Connie Mack will pro-
baby lead the All-star team that
plays a series OF hard games with
the American League winners.
In the past Jimmy McAleer, now
the president Of the Red Sox club, has
always tuned up team Of Ty Cobb,
Ray Collins, Speaker and others and
flung them at the Mackmen. This
was done to keep the champions In
shape for the worlds series and it
was a bright American League idea
Mack is a fair-minded man, and il
asked. he will lead the All-Star team
that will play against the winners OF
the 1912 race, provided his team is
beaten. II Washington wins, he will
ask for Ray Collins and Joe Wood,
Of Boston, along with Iris Speaker
He may even demand Joe jackson, OF
Cleveland. and. of course. he will ask
for Tyrus Raymond Cobb, OF the Zig
ers. If Boston wins out. he will de-
mand Walter Johnson from the Sena-
iuio anu luShiuAe tdttutis pSIhdlns
Ainsmith. The two teams will play
series OF seven or nine games this
season, but Mr.. Mack thinks Il will
be the All-Stars against his own Ath-
letics.
Here is an all-star club, picked on
present appearances, with the bat
ting averages of the players, which
would make quite an impression on
any opposing pitcher: Cobb, Detroit,
right field. 423; Speaker, Red Sox,
center field, 1896; Jackson. Maps. left
field. 1857; Konetchy. Cardinals. first
base. 340; Collins. Athletics, second
base. 1886; Wagner, Pirates, short
stop. .314: Baker. Athletics. third
base. .346; Meyers. Giants catcher,
367; Marsans. 1886, utility outielder,
Reds; Sweeney. $50. Rustlers, util-
ity inhelder: Marquard, Wood, John
son. Plank. Coombs, Alexander, pitch
ers. This is the strongest all-star
team that could possibly be picked
on the form shown by the players
so far this year. II looks nearly inn
possible to make a change for the
better anywhere. II would never
lose a game.

MARSEY SAYS HE
HAS NOT VIOLATED

NEWARK, Aug. 23.-Manager Will
liam Marsey. of the Newark Tri-
County League baseball team, denies
that "Vic" Willis, the former Nation
al League star, has pitched many
more games for Newark, than he was
allowed under rule of league. The
local manager takes exception to a
despatch, from Elkton. which appear
ed in the Wilmington newspapers,
that Newark had broken a rule OF the
league and made Willis ineligible by
working him in more than the allotted
games.
Mr.. Marsey in talking about the
matter said, AT the time that Newark
was taken into the league last winter
it was agreed that Willis should be
allowed to pitch IA games, two
against each club in the league, one
to be on the home grounds and one
away from home. This agreement
has never been broken by us. AS a
matter OF fact Willis has pitched only
IL games and is still eligible to pitch
one game at home. against Aber-
deem, oxford an Elkton. II is true
that Willis, has played IN several
other games in the outfield but there
was nothing whatever in the agree
i ment that would prevent him from
playing in as many games as we saw
nj to have him play. as long as he
does not pitch more than fourteen"

In the interest of harmony New
Castle and Highland will play at New

agreement, will have to go deeper
tan the usual finance routine.
This game has caused more com
ment than any game ever played in
the county and the surrounding coun-
try will surely be out j.. force. Mana
ger Moore will take the best team
possible to New Castle to show how
easy il really is to defeat the River
men" on their own grounds.
The agitation this game has caused
will make New Castle anxious TO
win, but from MoOre's expressions,
this seems doubtful.
Marshallton and Madison will play
at Front and Union streets. These
teams always put up a fast article of
ball. and even though the other at
fractions of the day are great, those
who desire good ball VIII no doub,
