Wilmington High will clash with
Chester High School here tomorrow
afternoon. Chester comes TO this
city fresh from victory over Will
mington two weeks ago and with a
record Of ten victories and two de-
feats behind her. However, the To-
calls are confident OF crushing her
ancient rivals. The student body OF
the local institution has signifed that
nothing but victory will be received.
Because of the cancellation OF tho
Camden High game, Wilmington did
not play last week. The last game
was with Haddon Heights, whom they
defeated by the score Of 6 to 4, on
last Friday a week The Highlets have
been practicing hard since and are
in the best OF form. They realize that
on Wednesday they will face one OF
the best pitchers in eastern scholas-
tic ranks and hence have been indulg-
ing in plenty of batting practice. Og
den, Chester's star mound artist. Is
likewise the best batter on the team,
and has broken up many games by
his extra base drives

Chester game for three of the teams
star players. II is generally under
stood about school that Captain Mat
Donohue will withdraw from school
at the end of the present term. He
has yet TO lead a baseball team vic
torious over Chester but he is con-
fident OF turning the trick tomorrow.
lie will take care Of the initial sack.
Morris Pierson and Eddie webb, the
probable battery. will each graduate
this year. Pierson is a hard and
earnest worker and will endeavor to
hold Webb up in faultless style. Webb
has yet to taste defeat this season
and believes that Chester will be
among his victories. Eddie is also
one of the teams leading clubbers.
O'Keefe has been handling himself
in fine style at second base. He plays
heady. consistent game at all stages
Mckay has a thorough knowledge
of how third base should be covered
and is also hard batter and hard
man to pitch to- He was at first
played on second. but the captain soon
learned where his correct position
was.
Crawford. the husky short fielder. is
a natural hitter and should come
across with a couple OF hits Wednes-
day. Although still erratic in the
field, he has improved somewhat
since the first OF the season.
O'Neill will cover left field. He
has been hitting the ball hard all
season, but until lately he has been
unable TO drive them safely. Pat
seems to like Ogden's pitching and
expects TO pole a hit tomorrow.
Johnson will chase flies in center
field. He is an expert at this art
and Chester will find IL to no advan-
tage to send balls to center field II
is doubtful whether Minker will play
or not.
Snyder. who has lately recovered
his batting eye, Will play right. He
has been mailing the ball of late.
Chester has the best team in the
history OF her school and has In Og-
den the best pitcher in eastern schol-
astic ranks.
A large crowd is expected to witness
the battle tomorrow at Front and
Union, as IL will be a great pitchers
battle. Every student is expected 10
be on hand and cheer as never be-
fore for the team The game will
start promptly at $3.50 O'Clock. Frank
