for the Chicks, and pitched excellent
ball during the first five innings. He
famed eight men. gave one hit and
kept the ball inside the diamond dur
ing the entire five innings. But six

Tom Brown presided during the
last agony periods. Honest. it was
sickening. But three men in each
session faced Brown and he famed
eight during his term.
Jackson showed the visitors how tc

of two triples and one two bagger

TO Old Delaware This Year

ed some Of the best men in the bas-
ketball ranks and has always per-
formed in a sensational manner.
Red" is not only star basketball
er but is also a football guard and
a baseball pitcher. He played guard
for Imperial in 1911 and in 1910 and
1911 he was a star pitcher in the
County League. Early in the 1911
season he was pitching for st. Paul's
Catholic League His work with
that club attracted the attention of
Prince Mousley, manager Of the Rv-
erview club, and he promptly signed
up the big fellow. Reds" first
game was against DUPONT at Front
and Union and after a desperate
struggle the Powdermakers won by a
2 to l score. They we're, however,
able to nail only four hits off the big
"strawberry blonde"
In the next engagement he trim
med the same club by a to 2 score.
He has plenty of speed and curves
and above all a good head. Red is
p years ago.
"Dick" Christy is we'll known to
football fans. He has for the past
two seasons been a star end on the
| Imperial and Olympic football teams.
"Dick" is one Of the greatest ends
that ever trod the chalk lines at
Front and Union. He is hard
tackler. and very few men get past
him. One of his strongest points is
his ability to dope out plays and ia
this department he is a valuable as
set to any team. He was manager OF
the fremont Club which won the
! semi-professional championship in
1909 and incidentally developed some
good players, among them being
"Chick" King Of the University OF
Pennsylvania. Harry Mccall, who
pitched some games for Wilmington
and ICY" Prentiss, who slugged du
Pont into a County League pennant
Christy weighs 100 and is sure to
make an end position at Delaware
Johnny" Harkins is another Will
mington lad who has made good IN
athletics. Johnny" was a star rwirl
er at Mt. St. Mary's. He is big
rangy fellow and has pitched some
splendid games. He is also a goot
football player, playing for two sea
sons with St Anne's, who won 9 city
championship. Harkins has als'

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
NEWARK, Del, April 1S.-With the
completion Of the new athletic field
at Newark two months off the results
OF such a modern stadium are begin
ming TO be felt at Delaware College.
The Newark institution, one OF the
best colleges OF its class in the coun-
try has, for the past few years, suf-
fered a relapse in athletic activities.
Delaware used to be represented by
good athletic teams, but in late years
the athletic victories have been few
Truc there is a reason for this and
The only cause has been lack OF
proper material. Most of the youths
who enter Delaware are raw re-
cruits who have had little or no
training on Prep. school teams, as
is the case i'm other colleges. Many
reasons can be advanced for this lack
OF preparation, but the chief reason
IS that many of the schools which
supply the state institution do not
have representative teams Conse-
ouently each youth has only his own
individual self TO thank for his ath-
letic ability, and the need of coach
ing is really felt in such a case.
The new field is bound to attract
athletes from other States and in
this way Delaware will soon take her
place in the foreground of the ath-
lotic world in the minor colleges OF
the east
Already a start has been made in
the right direction and the effects
were shown in the freshman class OF
1916. This class is probably the
most versatile one that ever entered
Delaware. Seven of the green
freshmen made the varsity football
team. But for the class of 1916 Del
aware would not have been able tC
put out a basketball team worthy OF
competing with the other institutions
To Have Fast Ball Team.
The baseball team will contain fiv,
freshmen and it is in this department
that the good results of this, the
best class in the history of Delaware
will be felt. To date the 1916 class
holds the championship in football
aud basketball. and is confident oi
winning the title in baseball.
As has heen stated. the new field
is bound to attract good men from
outside the State. The good results
from Wilmington are beginning to b'
felt already. Four of Wilmington
best athletes have signifed their in
tention of entering Old Delaware mex
fall. the men being Leo Walsh, the
Brownnson all-round athlete, Dick
Christy, we'll known TO Wilmington
football fans johnny Harkins,
formr Ht. St. Mary's star twirle
and mike" Fidance, one Of the bes
athletes who ever represented vii
mington High School
Football will profit most by the ad
dition of these men, as they are
strongest in their department of ath
letic endeavor.
Leo Walsh. better known to vii
mingtonians as RED" has for nv
wears been one of Brownson's mos
consistent basketball performers
He is star and two years ago re
