Del-Mar League Season Ends

Del-Mar League Season Ends
The Delaware-Maryland League
pennant ended on Saturday with
New Castle winning the pennant
and Parkside a close runner up.
Newark finished tied with Trac-
ton Co. for fourth place but both
of these teams are but half a
a game ahead of Elk Mills, the tail
enders. The locals kept out of
last place by winning one of the
two games played with Elk Mills
here on Saturday. Had they won
both games Newark would have
been sure Of fourth place.
Local Club A Disappointment
The showing of the local club
has been a great disappointment
to the fans of Newark. At the
start of the season Newark on
paper looked to be the strongest
club in the league and it was the
opinion of many fans that the
locals would again trot home with
Jno DuIllUR. LAIN VI iie'i illoiy
among the players and the fact
that there was no one to look after
ard direct the club on the field at
all times was largely the cause of
the poor showing of the locals.
The players failed to pull together
and there was no one to make them
perfect team work. There was
some criticism all season because
several local boys who looked
good were not given fair chance
to show what they could do.
Newark lead the league in hit
ting most of the season and was
also among the leaders in fielding
and vet the club could not win con-
sistently. For the first several
weeks the locals put up good
game and was the most feared
club in the league. At the start
the make of the club was Hogan
pitcher, Marsey, catcher, Gregg
Schmickel jackson, and Beatty, IN
the infeld, and Kirk, Morris anc
Rankin in the outfield. This was
an aggregation that under gooe
leadership could have been made
star club in such league as the
maryland. The loss o:
Jackson, the fast shortstop great!
weakened the club as did also thu
loss of Marsey but had the team
been in the race it is possible
there could have been a wa,
to keep these men. Hogan pitche'
fine ball early in the season ant
while he had more off days late
than usual for him, yet many o
these would have been victorie
had there been good team wor
displayed.
Newark and Elk Mills Split
in the final games of the seaso

errors in the fourth inning ga'
