EDDIE EXPLAINS
THE GROUND TRIP UP

Sporting Editor Evening Journal.
In order that the public may under
stand the situation, / desire some Of
your space to explain the Front and
Union streets grounds affair
Labor Day evening / saw Mr. White
head relative to renting the grounds
for September 27. and he gave me the
option. At that time Highland was
leading the Wilmington League,
and no tie was expected Since then
made our first payment on the
grounds and our boys are busy selling
tickets for the game. AS we wanted
a large crowd, we have scheduled the
North East Club, of Philadelphia
They, no doubt, will draw good.
Now Parkside and Highland want
us to give up the grounds and accept
sum of money and not play. They
even want us TO cancel our game
This we Will not do, as we play every
body square. Hence, if we don't play
at Front and Union streets, we will
have TO take the Philadelphians to
an open field and still bear our guar
antee, besides redeem all tickets that
have been sold or pay Highland and
Parksde for all that are taken in at
Front and Union gate
Thus any reasonable amount we
might ask may seem large, but when
considered, one will find that after
deducting expenses. the players will
have but little for their benefit. The
Juniors have played 26 games this
season. and won % hence the players
should receive something worth
while
Therefore. Parkside and Highland
fans should not think I want mint.
when we ask for enough to really
make something. l am,

CHRISTIANA NOW
HOT AFTER TINSMAN

Sporting Editor, THE EVENING
JOURNAL, Sir: While looking over
the sporting columns of THE EVEN
ING JOURNAL on Saturday noticed
an article referring to the Christiana A.
c., signed by the Richardson Park base
ball team
On Tuesday of last week 1 received
a letter from Mr.. Walters, business
manager of the Richardson Park base
ball team in regards to a game for Sat
urday, September 20, which told me to
call Mr. Tinsman in regards to that
game. As we were without a game for
that date / called Mr.. Tinsman on the
phone, but he was not at home, so I told
his father to tell him to hold that date
for us This was on Wednesday even
ing / also heard that the New Castle
A. A. was without a game for the goth.
Not being sure of the Richardson Park
game | called Mr. Chase, manager of the
New Castle team and arranged game
with him / then notified Mr. Tinsman
sure OF his game and had arranged am
other one for Saturday. Now l think
that was fair enough
But as far as Richardson Park is con-
eerned for sports, here is my idea of
their craftsmanship; On Saturday, Au-
gust 30, we had a game scheduled with
Richardson Park to be played on the
Christiana grounds at Fourth and
Church streets. But they cancelled on
MS to 60 to Odessa to play a third class
team of that place and was defeated.
This left us without a game for this
date, the only day we were off the
whole season. But we did not crow
about that in the newspapers. They
also barred the Alpha team We played
Alpha and found them all good sports,
but after all this, comes back the Rich
ardson Park team, after cancelling a
game to be played on our grounds and
tries to arrange a game with us to be
played on their grounds. We were
forced on six occasions to go out of
town to play games because we could
not get one in the city Now if the
Richardson Park team calls this sport,
excuse mel / think the only place they
can play ball is in the newspapers; and
If they want any Of our games we viii
play them for S25 side. the game to
be played anywhere, except on the Rich
ardson Park diamond Let any sporting
man of Wilmington act as stake holder
And if the Richardson Park thinks
the Christiana boys have cold feet we
can make enough runs in this game to
warm them, at Richardson Parks ex-
pense. Now come on and let us hear
from the sports. Yours in sport,
James s. Walsh.

Now that the Athletics have won

month.
The first move toward this end will
be. the easing up on the Athletics
players, all of whom will be given
holidays from time TO time until the
final series with the New York High
landers on October 2, and a.
Several of the players are suffering
with bruises or other injuries and
they will be given plenty of oppor-
tunity to get over their ills before
starting the hard conditioning for the
bme-ribbon event
Manager Mack said last night that
he would at once start TO put in sub
sttutes
'ISwill give some of the veterans
a holiday tomorrow, said Mack.
Each day ! win FIJI the places of
some Of them with young players until
all Of the men have had some holidays.
BY the time we reach Washington for
a series, which will start next Mon
day, ! may have i'm an entire team
iof substitutes. This will depend upon
whether l think the regulars will be
benefited or otherwise by a lay-off at
that time intend to travel to Bos-
q ton and Washington with the team.
The hard work of peparing for the
worlds series will be done at home
in the final series with New York
Some OF the players are badly in
need of a rest and they will now have
an opportunity TO take one. All Of
those suffering with bruises or
wrenched muscles should be in good
condition by next week except Danny
Murphy whose injured shoulder has
not yielded TO treatment as expected"
For weeks hundreds of applications
have been received by Business Man
ager John Shibe. of the Athletics, for
tickets for the worlds series. All of
these however, have been returned TO
the senders Now that the pennant
has been won, another flood of appli-
cations is expected, but all will be
turned back until the National Com
mission meets and announces the ar

Are You Subject
to Constipation
Here is ~ Simple Way OF Cor
recting it Instantly Before
it Becomes Chronic.

Very few people go through life
without some time or other being
troubled with constipation. Thousands
injure themselves by the use of
strong cathartics, salt mineral wa
tiers, pills and similar things. They
have temporary value in some cases,
il is true, but the good effect is soon
lost, and the more one takes of them
the less effective they become.
A physic or purgative is seldom
necessary. and much better and more
permanent results can be obtained
by using scientific remedy like DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. II does not
hide behind a high sounding name,
but is what it is represented to be.
a mild laxative medicine. 1t Is so
mild that thousands of mothers give
it to tiny infants, and yet 1t is so com
pounded, and contains such definite
ingredients that 1t will have equally
good effect when used by a person
suffering from the worst chronic CON
stipation. In fact, among the great
est endorsers of Syrup Pepsin are
elderly people who have suffered for
years and found nothing 10 benefit
them until they took Syrup Pepsin.
II Is a fact that millions of families
have Syrup Pepsin constantly in the
house, homes like those of Mrs. G. b.
Pruitt, Berea, Ky, who used DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin as a laxative
tonic. Mrs. Pruitt writes that it so
strengthened and cleansed her system
that she was quickly relieved OF a Sc
we're cough which had troubled her
for months. The special value of this
grand laxative tonic is that it is suit
