The property borders on Wilcox park and is bounded on one side by one of the High street entrances to the park. It is understood that the park trustees considered 1t ad- visable to have control of the Mor- gan property, so that its possible oc- cupancv would not be detrimental to the park. There is a probability that the property will be used in connec- ton with park extension. for it is pre- stunned that eventually the section of High street from the Morgan to the Coy properties, inclusive, will become a part of Wilcox park.

nothing more than outpoint his man,

men and women in evening dress at
the Hotel Marie Antoinette when he
strolled into the lobby IN his bath
robe followed by his trainers and

met McCarty and found out who he

CHICKS OPEN SEASON
WITH BEST TEAM THAT
HAS REPRESENTED CITY

Never in the history of Tri-State
baseball has a season started with
such prospects as yesterday when
ever team on the circuit stepped
forth to do battle with a better and
higher class aggregation of ball
players than ever before. The league
this year promises to play real base
ball and It is one that will finish the
season with a clean record and re-
putation of being one of the best cir
cults in the country, outside Of the
Glass A. and Glass A. A. leagues.
Wilmington starts the local season
this afternoon against Allentown un-
der the leadership of Jimmy Jackson,
who seems to have the best team in
the history of local Tri-state ball.
Everybody gives him that much and
with little more strength, which is
coming. the team will be we'll up
among the leaders.
Doc Kerr is 'undoubtly the best re-
ceiver in the league today. The big
backstop has a big league head on
him and many a time It has been his
inisde work that has carried off the
game The big fellow is hitter and
has never been in better shape to
start the season than now.
Tex Myers is one of the most feared
player in the league. The classy first
baseman can not only scoop them up
at all angles Of the first sack, but has
hit always tucked under his big
shoulders which has spelled the de-
feat of many pitcher when all hope
seemed TO be gone.
Sharpe and Stewart are the candi-
dates for the second station and while
one must go, either is capable of play
ing classy ball and both are fair with
the stick.
Harry Fritz, one of the best stick
ers in the league is expected to play
his best game this year Harry was
with the Athletic Yanigans all spring
and has developed great deal since
last season.
Tony Marhefka is the ground cover
of the infield and is one of the surcst
men in the ranks. If his hitting inn
proves there will be no stopping to
Tony this year
In the outfield there is Jackson, alb
solutely the best outfielder in the
league and McKenna. Last year
Mac" did not whale the life out OF
the ball but he has been showing up
fine IN the last two weeks and has
apparently recovered his once fine
! batting eye. ~
ShollenbergeT has not only deve-
loped into a good fielder. but can &c
behind the bat and take Doc Kerr's
place If at any time he is called on
to do backstop duty.
In the pitching staff is found the
only weak spcs OF the team. Russell
and Brazell arc capable men. and will
probably prove the main stays of tho
team Russell is undoubtly one os
the best twirlers in the league Brown
