HIGHLAND AFTER PENNANT.

The Highland team of the City Anna
teur League is going at a good rate.
The team was organized in 1912 and
since has had a good reputation. In
1912, under the name of Greenhill Jrs.,
and in 1913, under the name of High
land Jrs., they lost three games and
won thirteen. They defeated Rockford
twice, Rising Sun once, Riverton three
times, South Side twice Rockland twice,
Highland Yanigans once and Greenhill
twice. They lost to Rockford once,
Rising Sun twice. This year they took
the name of Highland and entered the
City Amateur League and expect to
give them all run for the money. Only
two new players have been added to
the team since il was organized. they
being Handy, who in 1913 played with
McDowellville, and Kearney, who play
ed with Rockford.
The team got of a little bad this
season. but expects to pull up soon. Last
year Chan Logan was manager and Les
lie Maxwell was captain. This year
Mr.. Evans is manager and Leslie Max
well is captain.
Bill Logan, another pitcher, has broken
into the City Amateur League. He has
won two games so far and lost none, de-
feating Merwick and Waneeda, Bill be-
gan his career against Waneede by de-
feating them 26 to s.

leading, Harrisburg second and Will

During the week the Chicks won
three and lost two games, while
Reading also won three and lost two
Harrisburg, which led the league on
last Monday slipped out of the lead
by losing four games. Wilmington,
therefore, continues only two and a
half games behind the leaders. The
