CLUB owners need
SUPPORT OF FANS
Chicks Have Lost Money
Since Opening Of the Pres
ent Season
CROWDS OUT TO
SEE HARRISBURG

After the attendance at yesterdays
game between the Chicks and Allen
town Il became known that Tri-State
baseball may stop In Wilmington II
the fans do not show their apprecia-
ton of the team by turning out 10 the
games. Il is said that so far the
management of the team has lost
money practically every day they
have played at Front and Union,
with prospects now gloomier than
at any time since the start OF the
season.
Il costs about $1,000 a month, re-
gardless of ground rent, salaries OF
the gate keepers, ground keepers, and
baseballs, which Is a very large item
to run a Tri-State baseball club. Mcny
other expenses have to be incurred.
The $500 barely covers the salaries
OF the players.
When away the expenses are just
the same plus fare and hotel bills for
the team II must not be forgotten
that a guarantee must be made to vis-
iting teams here.
Yesterday there we're 1875 people in
the ball park, at Front and Union
streets. when the Chicks and Allen
town started to play. About 90 more
came in Is there any wonder that
they are ready to quit? The whole
crowd could have been put on
the bull in left field. and then the
animal would hardly have moved his
tail 10 brush off the flies.
Harrisburg is here today for the
first time, and will stay over tomor-
row
Trenton will be here on Friday and
Saturday morning

ing the Eastern Handicap last year,
and who also won the seasons high
amateur from a field of 5000 other
trap artists, is just getting started.

one-armed wonder, George w. Max
well, of Hastings, Neb.. with 13Sx150.
Charlie Newcomb, of Philadelphia,
a frequent visitor at the DUPONT
Trapshooting Club and rated as one
of the very best amateur marksmen
in the world, established a great rep
utation over the traps of the Heron
Hill Gun Club during the Pennsyl-
Vania State Shoot at Pittsburgh last
week. Charlie broke 494 targets out
Of 500 shot at, or a fraction under
80 per cent, and in doing so had runs
TO his credit of 217, 115 and SO
straight breaks. This is one of the
best, If not the best performance on
record, and will not be duplicated

Whether or not the lacing Willie

Ritchie remained at his hotel all

something of a natural color and

his nose was badly cut

White said he would like to go g

The Maple Leaf Champs
By JAKE.

OF the social league l will tell
Not better squad could have been
picked
And this we all know quite we'll
From the very start of the season
They've certainly been clouting the
pill.
Yes hitting it at all times,
With their own free good will.
We also carry the rooters
They're the social chickens you
know,
And they sure follow the N. L. boys
Most everywhere they 90.
First one yells ccme on Bobby
Then another come on Bill,
Step up to the san kiddo
And hit that blamed old pill.
We have a few good, also a few poor,
The same as all other teams do
But before going any further
] shall introduce a few to you.
First we have catcher in "Carlin"
Who no doubt has certainly made
good,
For when il comes to the stunt of
handling a bunt,
He handles himself as he should.
Our main twirler by name is e. Davis
AS yet is not in the best of form,
He'll make all the boys, look just like
toys,
When the days become good and
warm.
There's Salters and McGonigal, two
moundsmen,
That have just donned the Maple
Leaf suits
And when it comes right down to
twirling
They certainly are two beauts.
Down around first base line
Jake" Reasin is tending the sack,
When the boys hit TO him, he looks
up with a grin
And says, pal, get better start
and run back
Another mainstay we have in Run
Always roaming about second sta
ton,
Since receiving a trial, we think he's
good for awhile,
For he certainly knows his occu-
patton.
Harry Pierce still holds down third
in fine form,
But not the Harry Pearce Of the
Chicks,
But from his appearance as sure as
your born,
VIII soon be in his class if he
sticks.
Our one best bet is in Capt. Gray
Presently tangoins around short
| He is always on his feet, and for
speed can't be beat.
And always gives the team good
support.
Another fast chap we have in Bill
Spidle
Who is always on the Job.
He comes with a rep, and has plenty
of pep.
And rounds the lags like regular
Ty. Cobb.
We have a young but speedy outhelC
In Brickley, Regan and Reasin,
We're not saying a lot, but should
finish at the top
OF the league at the close of this
season.
Now come out all you knockers ol
rooters
Whate'er you may be,
The more the merrier the players
say
That's what we want to see.
Probably you are rooter
But Perhaps for the other side,
But from an opinion of mine, you'll
change your mind,
When we finish giving that old bal
a ride.
