BOOSTS AND KNOCKS
New Castle will be here Satur-
day accompanied by crowd OF
fans.
Parkside has sure hit the tobog-
gan with a vengeance.
Newark should be able to keep
the skids under New Castle now
that the shadmen have tasted the
bitters of defeat again.
While Hogan lost his own game
by bad throw to first there seems
no occasion for all the yelling
that some of the supposed loyal
fans are indulging in.
Delaware College players on the
Traction Co. team were again
much in the limelight when they
scored all five of the runs against
New Castle, the leaders.
If Rankin would learn to step
into the ball instead of pulling
about a yard, with his apparent
good eve he would make good
! batsman.
Elkton has we'll balanced
team and in Potts one of the best
all around catchers in the league.
Jones, Vannort, and Coslett
make three fast infielders for Elk
ton and should improve right
along.
Although a good hitter ordinar-
lily Vannort is easy for Hogan. He
admits himself that he is unable
to solve the southpaw's benders
and only got one hit off Hogan al
last season. On Saturday Van
mort famed twice and hit veal
balls to Hogan the other two times
up.
Coffin is getting his bumps with
such regularity that it would no
be surprising to see Manage
Lewis can him at any time.
Morley who always pitches goo'
ball but has been losing regular
changed the program on Saturda,
: pitching against New Castle.
New Castle had Carlon who wa
given trial by Connie Mack SOM
time ago covering short for then
on Saturday.
doc" Doherty and Fidance, VIII

College the past two seasons, ar
putting up a classy article of bal

Smith worked hard for Elktol

him worked equally as hard t.

- they succeeded.
In seven of the nine inning

Line upon line of troops were hurried forward until the Russians waVered be- meath the repeated shocks and at length broke and fled almost the entire line crumblinG before the fury of the German onslaught So complete was the rout of the Russians that the troops were compelled to cast away portions of their equipment and much munition Of war including twenty cannons and thirty machine guns besides leaving captive in the hands of the Germans over twenty six thousand men.
 The German victory which is com plete and decisive was watched by the Kaiser. Late reports received from the scene state that east Prussia is prac- ticaly free of the enemy most of whom have retreated beyond the boundries
