phia. Sept. II; Many
Entries Expected
WILMINGTONIANS TO
PARTICIPATE

That the plan to promote athletics
among its employees, through the or
ganization of baseball teams on the
several divisions of the Pennsylvania
railroad has been successful, is evil
denced by the announcement of an
athletic field meet to be held in Phil
adelphia, Saturday, Sept. II. Local
employees of the Pennsylvania rail-
road are already discussing the COM
ing event and it is probable that eff
forts will be made on the part Of the
lseveral of the employees here to com
pete in the several events. However,
some of the Wilmington officials and
employees of the Pennsylvania rail-
road will go to Philadelphia to wit
ness the program.
The announcement of the meet has
been received in this city. The object
| is to encourage a healthy rivalry in
athletics among the employees of the
! several divisions of the PENNSYLVANIA
railroad on the lines east OF Pitts
burgh. The meet will begin at las
O'Clock in the afternoon. The follow
ing is the schedule o. events to be
contested for by employees entered in
the meet:
Tennis. singles and doubles. 100
yard dash, 220-yard dash, 440-yasd
dash, shot-put. using 12-pound
weight; standing broad jump, run
ming high jump and a relay race.
A preliminary tryout will be held
at Sunbury. Saturday, Sept 4. q week
lprevious to the meet in Philadelphia.
At that time all the employees from
the several divisions of the central
grand division, entered in the several
events, will compete. The first, sec
ond and third men, from each divi-
sion making the highest scores will
be selected to compete in the final
meet

PLAN RECEPTION FOR
The CITY BALL PLAYERS

Wilmington ball players who have
been playing away during the sum
mer, will receive a royal welcome
home, if plans now on loot are car
ried out. The intention is TO give
the players a reception and dinner at
the Hotel DUPONT sometime in Oc-
tober. In fact the occasion will be
reunion of all the Wilmington ball
players of the city Managers and
players of the Del-Mar League. All
Wilmington League, Church League,
Pennsylvania R. R. League, Eastern
Shore League, and of all the indepen-
dent teams of Delaware. as well as
Connie Mack, Frank Baker, Pat Mo-
ran and officers of the Delaware
County League will be invited 10 at
tend Should the plan go through
the affair will be the biggest of the
kind in the history of the city.
The idea was conceived by Jack
MCGOWAN, Furuey Cole and DOC"
Dolan, who are working hard TO
make the occasion a success. Table
reservations should be made with any
member of the committee immedi-
ately.

What Must Boxers Draw
To Be Worth $4,000?

How much is the McFarland-Gib-
bons match worth in cold cash and
figured strictly as a business propo-
sition?
The above question was put to a
prominent follower of boxing yester-
day, a man who has had experience
with the game from every angle. He
expressed the opinion that the only
answer rested in the receipts of the
bout.
IF it is pleasant the two might be
worth a few thousand more than they
would be on a threatening night. But
never would l set a fat figure above
$4,000 or $4,000 for the bout This
would include the money for both
boxers. But. of course, to be consis-
tent, / would allow them the option
OF percentage. l think an offer OF
81, 500 each, with the privilege of per
centage, would be high for ten
rounds.
GAS for the bout being worth $32,-
500 that sounds like a joke TO me

that the promoter who is game
enough, perhaps unwise enough, to
guarantee such money makes good
on the proposition. He is taking

tending such a big affair and the
knowledge that the gate must be near

see any money of his own, he is en-
titled to big returns. Perhaps I should
make the house worth 100000 before
the boxers are entitled to any such
money as they are getting. They are
taking no chances whatever. The pro-
moter does all that They simply have

Winner, Hats Off Nevertheless

the club that he'd have harmony.
He has, at least so fai as is known.
He's weeded out the troublenakers
and the mossbacks and he's going
into the 1916 race with a team Of
young players that even Connie Mack
might envy. A few veterans remain,
of course. principally Roy Hartzell
and Roger Peckinpaugh. but they're
delivering a good brand of ball. In
cidentally. Bill Donovan shattered
several precedents when he proceed
ed to get along with Roger Peckin-
paugh. a player who had managed
the club before him. The archives
.of baseball's history are filled with
cases of trouble following a reduc-
ton in the ranks. but Bill and Peck
seem TO work together like a team
of thoroughbreds.
The team today stands far ahead OF
the 1914 crew in most all ways. The
club is harmonious. Il has twice as
many extra base hits now as il had
at the close of the last season. and IT
has the spirit that makes winner.
There has been a constant stream
Of talent through the Polo Grounds
the last few weeks. And more are
on the way. Rupert and Huston are
