WILMINGTON LIFTS LID
With FIRST Dutch FIVE

The First Dutch Club which will
open the season OF the Wilmington
Basketball Club on Thanksgiving
evening was last years pennant win
ner in the Northwest Church League.
They set the pace from the start
and were. never headed, pulling up at
the finish with a commanding lead.
They number among their players
three men who are well known for
their athletic ability. AS one guard
they have Ted Butler, who played
on Central High Schools star quin-
tet of 1911 which was composed of
Pike. Usilton, Kerr, Butler and Sem
endinger.
All these players are representing
Camden in the new Interstate
League. Charlie GOtwals. a substi-
tute backfield man at Penn, plays a
forward position. Bill Butler, an
other Penn footballer is slated to
jump center. There players also are
also Central High Athletes and
should form the nucleus of a fast
team which will make the locals
hustle to win. The big game is sched-
uled for SIS at Pulaski Hall on Sec
ond street, between Jefferson and
Washington. The preliminary game
will be between Haskell Hall
and Glover at 745 o'clock. f. w.

see the dribbling stellar performer

has played so far with the Armory

dition.
Husky Lee Walsh. one of the best
defense men ever developed in Della
ware Will again do his quota Of
guarding the Blue and Colds net
The forward that manages to slip in
more than one toss off the big. valu-
able guard, has to step some. and
has TO be equally as watchful or Lee
will cage e few himself. Brownson
has trio of guards in Walsh, Larry
Rigney and Charley McDonough that
compares favorably with any inde-
pendent team in this region Rigney
is quick, energetic and capable of do
ing emergency work ia the foul
shooting line. Charley McDonough
though the youngest of the squad,
has won his way into cage promin-
ence by his sterling guarding and
utter lack of self-consciousness and
yellow streaks."
This scintillating quintet is capable
Of giving stenuous battle TO any FIVE
that comes down the line, not even
barring the Eastern League gather
ings. and Fridays bill with River
ton should be full of thrills from the
time the first toss between the cen
ters "rafterwards' until the

Unhappily, however, Tinker could
not see Gowanus and declined 70
write his signature in the lower right
hand corner-next to the red seal
and jumped to the Federal League in
stead And the fans of Chicago's
North Side held the Tinker Day.
But the saddest part of the story
is that Joseph did not take into his
confidence President Ebbets and the
latter handed over the big check with
OUT imagining that Josephus did not
care to play in the City of Grave

In the meantime the boss Of Brook

BRESNAHAN FACES
AN ACTIVE WINTER
viii Try Hard to Prevent
Archer From Jumping
to Feds
HAS EYE ON THE
CHAMPIONSHIP

CHICAGO. Nov. 25.-Prospects are
that Manager Roger Bresnahan, of
the Chicago Cubs will be active in
his new duties If it is true that jim
my Archer is dickering to lead the
Buffalo team Of the Federal league.
The latter is regarded as one Of the
best catchers in baseball and II is
hard to believe that the new Westside
manager viii allow him TO get out
Of his grip without a struggle. How
far Archers negotiations with the
Feds have progressed is not known,
but be does not deny that he has had
a serious talk with the president of
the Buffalo club.
Archer in a conversation said there
was no truth in the report he desired
to desert the Cubs because Bresna-
han was appointed manager for three
years, He and the new leader have
been close friends and he added he
would work for him as strenuously
as he did for Chance. Evers and
ODay, but declared he saw an op-
portunity to better himself, get more
money. and on that account decided
70 take a whirl at the proposition Of
fered him.
II is not at all certain Archer will
20 TO the Feds President Thomas and
Manager Bresnahan desire TO have a
championship club next season and
may conclude that II is impossible TO
have one without him. They may
meet his demands and keep him. Ar
cher is a popular local player, one
OF the hardest and steadiest workers
on the club. He is we'll liked by all
his associates because he is always
trying to win while in a game and
continually performing for the inter-
ests of the club.
Bresnahan and President Thomas
have several moves planned and will
get busy on them before the National
league meets in New York next
month. They will plan on trade or
two TO offer when they go east and
II they materialize are connden. the
team will be stronger by many pei
cent when the 1915 season opens.
Fans wonder what Bresnahan viii
do with Heinie Zimmerman since
they had their clash in Brooklyn dur
ing the playing season. Some seen
to think that he will endeavor 4
dispose of him, as 1t has been said n
would not retain him, but that is no

norman is a great ball player anS
can be developed into a greater one
and is set on trying TO make hin
the best in the league. The new Cut
