TRI-STATE
ALL-STARS
SELECTED
Players Who Put Up a Good
Game and Deserve Special
Mention
MANY CHICKS ARE
PUT ON TEAMS

Picking a team Of Tri-State stars is
now in order. Taking the averages
which have been published weekly,
this ought not to be a difficult task.
but managers and scouts have long
ceased to rely wholly on averages and
want to see the players at work
Another feature in the selection Of
an all-star team in any line of sport is
that It is generally the expression OF
one mans opinion and given for what
1t is worth. That the Tri-State had
stars there is not the least doubt. but
those who were shining lights at
critical times have at times shown
work that is keeping them out Of the
major leagues. In putting a baseball
team together a manager get after
hitters for the outheld. hitters for the
inf1eld if he can get them for pinch
hitting and also for fast field work,
pitchers who can win games with
regularity and catchers who can
throw and show good headwork back
of the bat as we'll as being hititers.
A selection that looks strong is as fol-
lows:
First Team.
Catchers-Kerr, Wilmington, and
There, Harrisburg. The Chick catch
er has caught more games than any
other backstop. There tops the
catchers, but went stale several weeks
ago and has not shown his best form.
However, on an all-star team he
would show up strong.
Pitchers-Shaw, York; Scott, Allen
town; Russell, Wilmington, and O'Con-
nor, Harrisburg.
First Base-Cruickshank, Harrisburg.
Second Base-George Cockill, Harris
burg
Third Base-Fritz, Wilmington.
