BASEBALL
ODDS AND ENDS
fast MEN ON
The new PENNSY TEAM

In 1918 employees of the Pennsyl-
yania Railroad shops organized a
baseball team and entered the In
dustrial League and after a very fast
season won the pennant. In the sea-
son of 1914 they organized an athletic
association, composed of the following
officers, l.. T. Ardis. president; James
T. Leech, Jr., secretary, and r. ].
Bloodwell, treasurer. They entered
their ball team, with J. Kelley. man
ager, in the All-Wilmington League, a
very fast organization, and in the
middle of the season they withdrew.
ewing to tho constant pressure to
play other railroad teams. They fin
ished, however, with very high per-
centage.
This year the railroaders have afili-
ated themselves with the General Of
! flee Athletic Association, forming one
| grand body of over 1900 members.
They anticipate In the very near fu-
| ture to have a building of their own
which Will have within its walls all
| classes of athletic exercises. They
have entered the Pennsylvania R. r.
motive power baseball league, COM
prising Wilmington, New York, Phil
adelphia, Jersey City, Trenton, Potts.
! Vile, Baltimore and Harrisburg,
which contain some of the fastest
amateur ball players in the East. The
Wilmington team under the manage
ment of ]. J. Donlon. feels very proud
of their aggregation, which is COM
posed of the following: Chick"
Hartley. James Taylor. M. McDonogh,
e. Booth. Jr., William Shields, NJ.
Thomas. f. Lewis, c. Smith, e. Glenn,
J. Hannigan. Frank Duncan, Arthur
Duncan, w. Walther, J. Elliott, A. Ell
lott. G. Erwin. John Benson.

the country. Foord, Newcomb and
McCarty have in the past held the

pionship trophy which he won at At
lantic City last September with the
remarkable score of 81 X 100 from Is
yards, shooting at targets thrown g.

teeth of a high wind Foord easily
outdistanced the field for the cup

most spectacular shots in the country

.LOAFINC An ENEMY
TO BALL PLAYERS
Sunday Says Less DiSSipa-
ton Would Curtail
Training

If baseball players did not loaf
ar5unc and drink so much booze dur
ing the off-season, there wouldn't be
any necessity for so much training in
the spring" This was Billy Sundays
opening "clout" when asked what he
thought of training camps for the ma
jor league clubs.
"Of course, / don't mean to say that
training camps are not necessary.
They are even more so today than
they were when l was in the game
although there isn't nearly as much
boozing among the players now as
there was then" continued the evan
gelist. while MA" Sunday. sitting
near Billy, who was resting between
sermons, nodded approval
you see, now baseball is more of
an exact science than it used to be.
A manager of the present day, in or
der to keep pace with the times, must
have a big squad. To keep that squad
up to the standard he must have a lot
of recruits each year. and the train
ing camps are valuable because there
he can select his men.
THE old Chicago White Sox was
the first club ever to take trip south
to train. That was in 1888. They went
TO Hot Springs. Ark. In those days
the manager just took his regular
team. Occasionally we had one or two
new men along. but the regular play
ers were the ones who needed the
training then. A lot of them had

tion in the winter. | know that il
never took me longer than that to get

Il know that il would be hard for
the teams now TO cut down theil

individual question. OF course. ball
player should abstain from all forms
of dissipation and particularly from
booze. Outside of that. don't think
you can lay down any hard and fast

Some players need more work than

LINCOLN BEACHEY
KILLED AT FRISCO
Continued From Page one)

from the transport.
Death Due to Drowning.
That Beachey was still alive when
he struck the water and had sustained
no major injury as a result Of the fall
except a broken leg was the opinion
expressed by DR.. David q. Stafford,
autopsy surgeon who examined the
body at the morgue tonight.
The face, said DR.. Stafford, was dis
colored from choking and strangling,
indicating that death was due to
drowning.
Cuts on the aviator's hands were Ia
ken to indicate that he had made des-
perate efforts to release himself from
the mesh Of twisted wires and rods in
which he was entangled.
When the machine fell Beachey was
protected by the engine, propellers and
hood of the monoplane, which struck
the water first. 1t was pointed out
that IL Beachey could have disengaged
himself he probably would have man
aged to keep afloat long enough to
be rescued.
Most Daring Aviator
Lincoln Beachey was regarded as
the most skillful and daring American
aytators. He earned his reputation
long before the French flyers began
gliding through the air upside down
Beachey was in retirement when
Pegoud began to perform unheard OF
feats In the air, and was drawn back
into the game by his desire to dem,
onstrate that he could duplicate the
remarkable flying of the foreigners.
Beachy had made q machine with q
small flying surface and a powerful
motor. Then he started out, as he ex,
pressed 1t, "to outfy the BIRDS. He
flew upside down, made spirals while
head downward, looped the loop, and
other stunts" a thousand feet above
the earth, which the Wrights and 9th
ers never believed possible.
Beachy vas interested In eronau
tics as a school boy. He was born In
San Francisco, September /, 1887. Al
thirteen he entered the employ of q
balloonist and began to study aerial
navigation. He made his first flight
Mt Idora Park, Oakland, CAL, in Febru
airy, 1905, plotting George f. Heaton'f
dirigible balloon. He was IT years
old at the time.
