Rain put stop to all Delaware
Maryland League games on Sat
urday. The local fans were much
disappointed as Newark was
scheduled for a home game with
their old rivals Elk Mills and the
prospects were good for a large
crowd. This was to have been the
last game for Hoffecker with Elk
Mills as the big twirler has sign
ed with one of the clubs in the
Blue Mountain League and is to
join the team this week. With
Hotfecker in the box the Elk Mills
contigent felt sure of taking the
game while the locals were equally
sure than Newark would win with
Hogan in the box. The rain start
ed before the game was started
and Elk Mills will play a double
header on their next trip to New
ark.
No action has been taken as yet
relative to the protest of the local
club over the fifteen inning game
that was awarded to Parkside by
Umpire Hastings. President Da-
VieS will likely refer the matter
to three arbitrators for their de-
cisiOn unless an agreement is
reached to play the game over. 1t
is the general opinion that the
game will be played over as New
ark had excellent grounds for the
protest.
One game on Saturday and two
on Decoration Day will likely
make a number of changes in the
standing of the various clubs in
the league. Newark goes to Elk
ton on Saturday and New Castle
Monday morning while the Trac-
tion Co. will be here for the after
noon game on Monday.
Rain Stopped Delaware Game
After three innings had been
played with neither team scoring
the game between Dlaware and
Muhlenburg had to be called Oh
Saturday because of rain. Bob"
Wallace was in the box for Della
ware and was in fine form. Only
nine men faced him in the three
innings and of these he famed
seven.
Delaware has but two more
games on the schedule with the
exception of the Alumni game to
be played during Commencement
Week. st. Johns of Annapolis
plays here this afternoon and
Western Maryland on Saturday.
There will also be a dual fell
and track meet Saturday after
noon with Drexel.
The blue and gold baseball team
has been going fine for the past
three or four weeks. Early in the
season poor fielding lost two or
three games but since the latter
part of April the team has struck
its gait and has been winning
consistently. Until today Della
ware has won five and lost three
games. Three games, two with
Muhlenburg, and one with Morav-
ian, were called off on account of
rain. Delaware defeated Balti-
more Polytechnic 8 to 3; Rock Hill
= to Q; Washington College, 8 to
6; Haverford Baseball Club, 4 to
Q; and Temple University, 5 to 3.
Games were lost to Drexel Ito 6;
Swarthmore, 7 to 2; and Johns
Hopkins 7 to 6.
The work of the pitchers Hoch
and Wallace has been especially
good and with good support neith-
er of them would have lost a game
$ ofar this season. The entire in
field with the exception of Horsey
at second gave some weird exhi-
bitions in several games.
