Of eight games won and two lost

Allentown. Trenton and Atlantic City
come back for two games each, and,
{ as there seems to be nothing in this
old league this year but Wilmington,
It is a good guess that our Chicks
will cop az least five OF the weeks
series. We lost TO both Trenton and
York through the Indian antics OF
pitchers. II we loose this week It
will be because OF a fall down all
around, but as this seems improbable
1t is q safe bet that the boys will
set away with five Of the next series
Of games and IL they do Il will be time
TO put in the order for that precious
bunting. Here's hoping
Oficial averages for the seven
games, ending last Wednesday, show
+ the team TO be going well despite the
fact that only W. Smith, Meyers,

boys are away down in club batting,
although they have trimmed the
punches that have shaded them in
batting as a whole. In club fielding
they lead and Russell stands out as
the only twirler on the circuit who
has won three games. Moreover,
aisrhafka looms up as the best short
garden man. Above all is the fact
that the home boys start today pretty
we'll entrenched in first hole and II
the pitchers hold tight this week the
club will be in the same position at
the close of the week. This seems
certain.
The Saturday game proved the
Chicks to be better ball club than
Heckert's York aggregation, and that
is not speaking disparagingly of York.
They beat us on Friday because OF
poor pitching on this end. The Chicks
