BASEBALL STARS

Harry Fritz and Winnie

One of the fastest basketball teams
now playing IN this section is scheduled
to appear at Brownson Hall on Friday
night, when the All-Stars, made up en-
tirely Of big league baseball satellites,
make their initial bow to the fans OF
Wilmington. This bunch of ball play
crs arc all adept al handling the boune-
ing spheroid, and have cleaned up all the
leading teams in Philadelphia and sur
rounding territory. In the All-Stars'
lineup will be seen Harry Fritz, the
former stellar light at third base for the
Wilmington Tri-State team, and who
had a try-out with the Philadelphia
Athletics, but jumped to the Chicago
Federals. He played last season with
Joe Tinker's aggregation. but was re-
leased during the past winter to the st.
Louis team of the Federal League. lie
will have as a partner on the offensive
i'm Heating, the well-knOwn twirler Of
the New York Yankees. At the jump
off station will be seen Lohr. who held
down centeriield for the Cincinnati Reds
during The season OF i9i4. He is re-
nowned for his dribbling prOpensities,
and will cover one of the outer gardens
for Herzog this season. Russell Black
burne. the well-known iniielder of she
Chicago Americans, win also be in the
line When this sterling shortstopper
was purchased from the Providence In
tcrnationas by the White SoX, what
was then considered record price for a
hall player was paid by COmiskeyi
81 600. The other defender of the All
Stars goal is "Winnie" Swallow, the
star performer IN the hurling line fol
the Wilmington Chicks during the 1914
1ri State race. 1t is rumored that
Winnie will wear the uniform of the
Jersey City international team next
season.
The Brownsonites are now playing the
best ball they have ever displayed TO the
admiring public Although DE Neri de
feated them for the second time thii
season on Friday night, they made the
Eastern Leagiers hustle for victory. Ih'
only marring feature of the evening
was the injury which Joe Haney, thu
plucl,y forward of the locals, received
during the last half minute of play. H
sustained nasty cash over the righ
eye 1t is hoped that he win be abb

BROWNSON SETS
THE CITY'S PACE

The present basketball season in
Wilmington, which is now drawing TO
close, has been the most successful
the city has ever experienced. There
have been more teams, better teams
and decidedly greater interest in the
outcome of contests than in any previ-
Gus years. One big feature of the sea-
son has been the organization and
success Of quite number Of girls
quintets and sextets, for some of tho
young women prefer the boys 10 the
girls rules.
The most marked success has been
that of the Brownson team. This sue
cess has been confined. however, to
the physical and not the financial side
of the game. Few of the contest
have drawn sufficient patronage TO do
more than cover the expenses entail
ed in securing attractions and some
have even resulted in monetary
losses to the management.
In view of this condition II seems
unusual that the patronage has been
insufficient to merit a continuance Of
the sport such as Brownson puts up
but there is every likelihood that It
will not be continued another year
with the same class attractions, at
least The public should come to the
rescue and by its presence at the
games to be played between now and
the end of the season demonstrate its
interest and encourage those who
have been backing the team.
