All Wilmington League

TEAMS IN GAME
HERE ON SATURDAY

By winning the game at Newark on
Saturday by the score Of z to 4, Ban
croft. All-Wilmington champions, got
the jump on the Newark Tri-County
League club in the first game of a
FIVE game series for the championship
Of the State. While the threatening
weather kept the crowd down consid-
cradle, about 500 Of the faithful turn
ed out. The second game will be
played at the Front and Union streets
grounds next Saturday, and notwith-
standing their defeat the Newark
club is not discouraged and expects
TO win the second game.
AS a ball game the opening contest
was not up to the standard that
either of the clubs has set this season,
but it furnished plenty of excitement.
The two crack southpaws, Crouch
and Hogan. were on the mound and
with perfect support would have kept
the score much closer. Bancroft took
the lead early by scoring two runs in
the opening inning Smith lead Off
with single to right and when Nor
ley sacrificed Gregg dropped the
throw to first and both runners were
safe. Austin's Texas Lacquer and c.
Beatty's error brought in two runs.
This lead was only held for a short
time, as Newark came back strong in
the second inning. After one was
down Gregg caught one of big Bills
fast ones and sent it to left-center
for three sacks. Hits by Scanlon and
Hogan and Proud's error brought
across two runs, tieing the score.
Newark took the lead in the fourth
when a hit batsman. a double and
single produced two more runs.
Hogan was going along fine after
the first inning until the fifth. when
Bancroft got after his shoots again,
but not until an error spoiled a
chance of retiring the side with only
one run. A pass, two errors, three
singles and Clouds home run in this
inning gave Bancroft FIVE more runs
and the game.
Scanlon. who was sent to left for
Newark in place of Ferguson, who
had been playing the position all
season, distinguished himself by max
ing three hits out of four times up

SPOON EVENTS DRAW
GUNNEN TO TRAPS
dupont Shooters Smash
Many Targets in Face OF
Brisk Wind
CLAYMONT WINS
3-CORNERED SHOOT

DUPONT gunner shot for spoons
over the club traps on Saturday and
despite the high wind, the shooting
was good.
While two Of the star class A men,
A. B. Richardson and n. p. Carlon,
were absent, taking in the Grand
American Handicap at Dayton, Ohio'
which closed on Friday, nevertheless
some Of the old reliabies we're on

honors. It is seldom that the Class
A spoon is won with q score OF less
than % straight. but Saturday l.. l..
farrell and Stanley Tuchton, former
Glass b men, topped thenr all with
scores of % out of 20.
IN Glass B, r. p. Willis proved to
be the best marksman. He halls
from Pennsgrove, and never misses
a Saturday at the club when he can
help 1T. He arrived late and found
that four of his fellow Glass b friends
were tightly deadlocked for the b
class spoon with scores Of 10 out OF
25. willis is always Of an obliging
disposition, and not wishing to see
a situation like this develop into any
unpleasantness Immediately set to
work to break the deadlock, which
he did by breaking 90 out of %, and
annexing the spoon His win of the
Glass b spoon averted several shoot
offs among those who had tied and he
was commended for his kindly dispO-
sition.
In Glass C, ]. w. Anderson. Jr.,
had things pretty much to himself.
John hasn't been shooting in his best
form Of late. but was lining them up
Ia good shape, and with his
score of p out of 25. in the Glass
c spoon race he was never in any
danger OF having his claim to the
spoon disputed.
The race for the Glass ID spoon looked
as though IL would develop into real
shooting match. When the first round
had been fired it was found that w.
y. Sillitoe had celebrated his return
10 the club aftr an absence of sew
eral weeks by breaking l3 out of
25. and also that w. II. Downs had
duplicated his score.
Another event was shot and again
the contestants tied with scores ol

However, Ralph f. Springer, a I

decided between the two contestants
most interested that nothing further
would be done until Ralph had shot
