HIGHLETS
GET AWAY
TO VICTORY
Open Football Season With 20
to Is Score off PennSgrOVe
Eleven
LOCALS SHOW WEAKNESS
In DEFENSIVE WORK

The football warriors of the Will
mington High School opened their
1913 season yesterday afternoon at
Front and Union park by defeating
the heavy eleven of the Pennsgrove
High School, 20 to 13.
Superior knowledge of football,
coupled with an extremely aggressive
style of play won for the local boys
DOC" Speer has been making his
green material into players and be-
fore another game the team will be a
well-formed and nodded eleven. Had
the Doctor had a little more time he
would have had the Cherry and White
team playing a game that would have
prevented the Jersey boys from
scoring.
Pennsgrove scored first because
she had heavy, strong, whipsaw-like
team, capable of a tear-'em-up style
of play. Secondly, because the defen-
sive style of play of the Wilmington
team is not what it ought to be and
unless it improves considerably the
goal line of the Cherry and White will
suffer many times during the season.
A big improvement will have to be
shown, as the team meets Central
High next week in one of the hardest
games of the season.
Wilmington made two touchdowns
as the direct result of the forward
pass and a straight line play. Wilson
kicked off to Pennsgrove. After gain
ing the ball Wilmington carried it
in striking distance of the Jersey goal
by straight line bucking by Gibney,
Donohue and Livermore. Gibney was
sent through right tackle for the first
touchdown of the season.
In the second quarter two forward
passes from Young TO Dunn netted
another touchdown. The passes were
beautifully executed and It looked as
If the local boys we're going to walk
all over their opponents when the
Jerseymen took a brace and started
their line plunging tactics They
tore a hole in the Wilmington line
and marched down the field to a
touchdown. Attempt at goal failed
and the half ended Wilmington 10,
Pennsgrove 6. In this half Whining
ton lost 40 yards through being off
side.
Pennsgrove opened the second half
with the same rushing style of play.
Smith, the big full back, crashed time
and again into the Wilmington line
and tied the score.
With but a few minutes to play in
the second half, a forward pass, Glib
ney to Dunn, netted 20 yards. and
then Gibney crossed the Jerseymen's
line with the winning score. Wilson
kicked the goal
The game was not called a5hB,
The game yesterday was not called
until 445 o'clock, because the Penns-
grove contingent did not arrive until
late.
On Saturday the Wilmington team
will play Ridley Park High at Ridley
Park, and next Tuesday Vineland
High will come here.
The score:

JOHNSON KING
OF PITCHERS
Clark Griffith Says Washing
ton TwIrIer is Best the
Game Has Ever Pro-
duCed

Clark Grifith, whose memory runs
back TO the days of the giant Rusie
and the wonderful Radbourn declares
that Walter johnson is the greatest
pitcher that ever lived.
Not only does the Washington
manager declare that the big blond
boxman is the greatest twirler that
ever threw a ball, but the most re-
markable as well.
The latter viewpoint regarding
Johnson on the part of Griffith comes
from the managers implicit faith
that Johnson will be pitching for
fifteen years more In the game. and
with as much stuff" as il is termed
as he ever possessed.
Griffith recollects "old Hoss" Rad
bourn in the day when the latter's
everyday efforts would have put the
modern iron man" TO shame.
Griffith states that for a day in
and day out hurler nobody ever ap-
preached Charlie, but the game in
those days required less from pitch
er than the pastime Of the present.
Radbourn, declares Griffith was a
mighty man on the mound, but he
was not to be compared with Johnson
on the score Of innate pitching power.
Mathewson, according to Grifflth,
| Is an artist. IL is not alone the fact
that Matty has stuff, but he exercises
copious thought with his arms, and
once he knows a batter's weakness
he never varies from feeding that
the sort Of balls he cannot hit.
But Johnson is even beyond Matty
In the mind of Griff. Rusie, the for
mer says, he has pitched against time
and again, and Griffith corrects an
Impression regarding the husky Hoo
sier. II has always been supposed
that speed was the greatest asset Of
Amos. Griff declares this not to be
the fact.
Rusie's prime pitching possession,
declares the old fox, was his curve.
It was not a drop, but sidearm curve
that broke sideways and was under
the absolute control Of its master.
Believe me-" said the Washington
leader, In a reminiscent vein, "I've
seen them all come and go, but john
son is the greatest of the lot. don
say this merely because he happens
TO be a member Of my club. / mean
that from the bottom Of my heart.
Radbourn, Rusie, Matty, all OF them,
we're wonders, but none OF them was
as good as Johnson. Walter has
everything You hear a lot OF WISE
acres talk about his speed, as n that
we're the only thing that he possess
ed. This Is a mistake. He has a
splendid curve ball, a change Of pace,
and I wouldn't be surprised a mite
some day of he cultivated a splitter.
And, again, he uses his head con-
stantly. There are none of them a
bit wiser than Johnson, and none of
them who takes better care Of him
self. He hasn't a single habit that
would impair his ability or hurt his
usefulness. He is big and strong, and
I'm certain that he will be pitching
Just as good 10 years from now.
rs he better than Matty? you ask.
/ say yes. Matty's pitching was never
pitching on strength. He constantly
studies the batters to know their
weakness and 70 learn their groove.
Once he has a batter measured, then
the batter is up against 1t.
"But for pitching, as pitching is re-
garded in baseball, Walter Johnson is
the superior
