Memorial Day by a cruise of several
miles up the Christiana and Whits
Clay Greeks from Newport The New
port house of the club was In gay
attire for the event and twenty-six
enthusiasts, eight canoes in all. left
the Newport moorings at 10 o'clock,
with both wind and tide in their favor.
An ideal camping spot on the upper
White Clay was located about lunch
time and taken advantage of for that
meal Baseball and rapid shooting
occupied the greater portion of the
afternoons sport. Every day brings
additional testimonials from lovers Of
nature as TO the unmatchable and
distinctive scenery to be found along
the White and Red Clay Creeks above
Newport. The scenic feature alone
is largely due to the impetus canoeing
has taken within the past year on
these waters. Next season will find
the admirers of this sport just about
double the number that are this year
enjoying this enticing recreation. The
safety of canoeing in that section ia
set down as being another factor in
the popularity of canoeing The Della
ware Canoe Club will announce later
several other cruises for the summer

In a game replete with hitting and
errors on both sides, Johnstown de-

pitchers trying to stem the tide, and
Umpire keenan, had TO be escorted
from the field by the police at the
close of the game because the fans
objected TO his decisions
In the fifth inning keenan, called
Newton safe atrthe plate, while Kerr
clearly had him blocked. II was the

most every player onreach team was
making various unpleasant remarks
about Keenan's ability as an umpire.

what's The use Of explainingY

What's the use OF explaining?
The Chicks lost because the pitch
ing staff went bad.
And TO add to the hard luck. Um-
pire keenan, contributed his part TO
the general badness
On Friday he didn't know how Conn
stood on balls and strikes.
And on Saturday the same umpire
failed TO see Kerr have Newton block
ed against scoring.
That run didn't win the game for
Johnstown, but did cut the Chicks out
of tieing the score. which might have
inspired Tobin 10 steadier work.
The decision put the whole Chick
team ND in the air, and they hadn't a
chance to win after the fiasco.
And they say that an umpire Of the
ability of Tom Corners is doing the
work Of a fire department inspector
in Philadelphia.
II might be we'll to remind Mr.
Carpenter also that Doc Lucas, OF our
town. is as efficient an umpire as there
is on the present Tri-State STAFF.
Mecherly has gotten into a class
of his own. No other third base
man in this league has anything on
him.
Topham had the Chick crew hold
ing on all the time. He was work
ing that swift side ball that looked
to be about the size of a medicine
ball, but always too small for those
clouting Chicks.
The Chicks would have had a
chance to win had not Llewellyn and
Salmon fought it out for the jinks
record.
There, who has played a game or
two with almost every one in the
league. has slipped back TO Johnstown.
He did some talking and also hit
ting
And now up goes the cry: "The
United States League is on the bum. "
Altoona comes tomorrow for three
games. and Allentown for Friday and
Saturday games
The Chicks not only lost their game
on Saturday. but had II thrown into
them by the printed scores on the
game. The three errors given to
Kerr in the score belong to Tobin.
Any one anxious to bet that Will
mington doesn't finish in the first di-
vision had better put his money in
the bank.
