CHICKS TOY
WITH TIGERS
IN THIS One
Trenton Takes Early Lead
Only to be WaIlOped
Hard by Locals
POOR ATTENDANCE
DISAPPOINTS OWNERS
WiImIngton. 9: Trenton. 8.


Our Chicks have done It again
They don't intend to quit winning
these old ball games even If the
wins are at the expense of the good
fellows who make up that Trenton
.bunch But after all Trenton is in
some measure responsible Tor the
wallop they got yesterday They
started the slamming off the reel and
our Chicks, quite naturally, had to
come back for their slap. And the
way they did It was a shame-for
Bert Conn They drove Mr.. Girard
off the mound just after the matinee
was half over In about the same way
that they will lambast all the other
Tri-State twirlers before this trou-
Bile is brought to a finish. and then
maybe there won't be some little
Joy in the old town whose fans don't
. seem to appreciate a team that TO
date has won nine out CT twelve
games. The three hundred loyal
rooters lc ked on again yesterday
and were a glad bunch, That happy
little crowd is always welcome, but
what is wanted just now Is 1900
.ccns.egation daily, and they must be
out II this town Is to keep its bunch
OF up to the minute Chicks Last
year the army attributed its absence
to the fact that tha Chicks were
dowh. WHAT the excuse Is at this
time IS beyond understanding These
Cnicks need a iusty-uaged gang to
.ad them pennantward despite the
fact that they are burning up Tri-
State ball and it will be LASTING
shame against the village II they have
{ quit because OF lack OF patronage.
So fans, turn out You'll get your
moneys worth IT you doubt H. ask
Bert Conn Come OUT
AS was 10 be expected, Trenton
also has formed the bad habit of
walloping our Chicks before their
eyes are open. The first time up
they stuck three runners across lut
this did not bring gloom to the Chick
