BOOSTS AND KNOCKS
One more game and then the
great series between Newark and
Bancroft starts with the first game
in Wilmington.
BILLY" Jackson looked good
jumping around short and the lit
tie fellow was also strong with the
stick getting double and triple.
Vannort robbed Hogan out Of
what would have been his fourth
hit by clever stop in the eighth
inning.
With "Bill" Crouch and "Jake'
Hogan, two crack. southpaws on the
firing line it does not look like the
Newark-Bancroft series will be a
slugging match.
The Penn-Mar League season
ended last Saturday but no games
were played on account of rain.
Appleton won the pennant.
Slonicker, third sacker for Elk
ton, who is usually very good, had
an off day on Saturday and booted
three in as many innings after
which he retired from the game.
The locals will no doubt take a
large crowd of fans to Wilmington
with them Saturday of next week
to see the opening game of the SER
les for the amateur championship
of the State.
Hogan has won Is games and lost
but two and has probably famed
more than any two pitchers III the
league this season.
