Messages Officially Declared to Be
Without Foundation.

London, June 7.-Several American
residents of London have informed
Robert p Skinner, the American con
sui general here, that they received
anonymous telephone calls warning
them to get out of London with their
families at once.
Among those thus notified was Nj
K. Shaler, member of the American
Belgian relief commission, who was
told by an unknown voice over the
telephone not to stir from his home
during the night and furthermore to
fill the bathtubs in his house with wa.
ter.
For several days reports have been
in circulation in London that all Amer
ican women here had been warned to
leave England. According to this re.
port the American embassy had been
requested by Berlin to issue a warn
ing of this nature. Investigation
brought the information that the am
bassador had received no such re-
quest.

The Benevolent Pioneer Literary AS
sociation will be we'll represented on
the ball field the coming season AT
least Manager Os Murphy has Vi
sions of a successful campaign. Al
ready the hustling little pilot has Sc
cured the promis cs OF nineteen ball
tcssers Manager Murphy has had
quite an envidDie record on the dia-
nlond sport. He managed The Rock
ford team Of the All-Wilmington
League a few years. ago and for a
while played VITA that team. Last
season he organized the Social
League. which organization had a
fairly successful year.
Although there IRE few boys in his
list that have not turned out TO be
wonders Os has 4 number of prom
ising lads under his role Il is the
desire of the Pioneers to enter their
team again in the City League race.
Last year this organization got away
to bad start, but managed to finish
in fifth place but few games margin
behind the leaders.
Frank Dunn, the former Whining
ton High and Salesianum High School
athlete, will make a strong bid for
the second bag job. For awhile last
season Dunn was with an All-Wil-
mington League team. He finished
the season with the Rockford Club,
champions of the Social League. Big
Bill O'COnnor, who is one of the most
promising players performing on To-
cal SOIL will again be seen at the
/ initial sack O'Connor has made a
name for himself in local amateur
+ ranks as a clubbor of no mean ability.
Besides being a slugger of class Bill
I is rated as an extra fast man on the
| bases. He also takes care of the
heaves at the main corner.
Bud O'Neil, who last season held
down a berth on the Salesianum team
will make a strong bid for an infeld
berth. O'Neil is a clever lad, in all
branches of sport.
/ Bill Dugan, the hard-hitting third
/ sacker of the Pioneers will have a
strong field to work against him for
/ the third bag honOrs. Bill, however
will be out there when the old pill
starts on its course.

A few years back Wright was con-
sidered the best amateur thire base
man hereabouts other boys who will
be tried out for infield positions are:
Chick McCullion. Jack Lally and Pal

on the club last season.
The pitching department will be-
we'll taken care of. Mat DonOhue
one Of the best twirlers ever degelop-
ed at the High School has decided tC

DonOhue is a coming star and should

a regular slab artist. Mckinney, the
boy who played such brilliant ball
for the Rockford team of the Social
League, will be out for a mound posi-
tion. Kid Carney. another product OF
the Salesianum school, is a promising
youngster whom Manager Murphy
has picked up. Carney has the ear
marks of a conner.
Joe Mclaughlin, Joe Grant and Len
Donahue. former Eden lads will be
seen striving for outfeld Jobs. Dan
Casey is another outfeld possibility.
Casey, it will be remembered, came
up to bat last year at Front and
Union street grounds in a pinch and
lifted the sphere for a JOY ride over
the left field fence, a feat seldom per-
formed by amateurs. Francis Mon
Afghan is again in the field for an out
field post
Andy Lenoir is now being sought
after by the Pioneer pilot to don the
mask and wind pad. Lenoir caught
for the New Castle team three years
ago. He is a good catcher and a
good fellow with it, Lenoir generally
proves to be a harmony maker on a
ball club.
Judging from the players already
gotten together by the peppery little
pilot. the Pioneers will make some
body fight for the pennant in the
City League race next season.

Notes and Comments Picked
Up at BrOwnSOn Hall
By aBILLv MCGOWAN.

Mark McDonough is putting up some
game at a guard berth. His hard and
consistent playing keeps the locals in
the running.
The Parkesburg. Pa, basketball team
will be the attraction at Brownson Hall
on Friday evening.
NO boys, the price will not be raised
at Brownson Hall for tho DE Neri game.
As q matter of fact, the raise of the ad
mission fee was only suggestion. Then,
again, why should Parlsesburg be rated
as fifty cent attraction
Joe Hancy will be ia the best of shape
for the De Neis game. With the arith
metic teacher in the going. the speed
demons will make the Eastern LeaguersI
hustle for a victory.
The new Iirownson basketball league
has made a big hit with the fans. Every
Tuesday two games ure played, the win
ners playing each other as a preliminary
to the big game on Friday evenings
DO you know that Bill Bradley, who
received the trimming of ms career al
pool in the Pioneer tourney. will lead a
party Of rooters from that organization
at the De Ner game.
Charley AlcDonough. brother Of
Tommy. Jack and Mark. has returned to
the cage game in the best trim of his
career. Charley is batting hard for a
win in every engagement.
When the DE Ncri team makes its ap-
pcarancc at BroWnson stadium. they
will come with their regular Eastern
league lineup. The largest crowd that
has over packed the hlcachcrs at Fourth
and jackson streets will be out. Joe
Fogarty, the veteran. who at present
leads The Eastern League in the indi-
vdual scoring column, will again be
seen by the Wilmington fans. The won.
dorful Hoe-hus played in 23 games. m
the Eastern League, shot 5S field goals
and tossed 27O fouls for a total of 3S6
points Ills nearest competitor is Sears.

FIGHT STARS SHY
OF JACK BRITTON
Clever Chicago Lightweight
is Willing to Make l35
Pounds
SHUGRUE WON'T
LOOK HIM OVER

Special ability in any given line of
human endeavor is generally supposed
to spell success for the possessor.
There is such a thing, however, so far
as boxing is concerned, as being so
clever as to ruin ones chances for
fame and fortune.
Take the case Of Jack Britton. He is
so clever a boxer that few Of the
men in his class care to meet him in
the ring. and the contenders for the
title Of the lightweight class have os-
tracised him. Britton's efforts TO get
a match with either Ritchie or Welsh
have signally failed, and while he is
unouestionably the master OF any of
the men in the division, he Is barred
from the inner circles Of the class.
Leach Cross. Joe Shugrue and Char
lev White are the favored ones when
II comes TO a waltz with either Walsh
or Ritchie. and Britton, who stopped
White in eighteen rounds. gave Leach
Cross the worst defeat Of his career
in q ten-round bout, knocked out
Young Saylor. who claims victory
over Welsh. and has trimmed other
near-champions without number, is
kept out of the charmed circle and
has 10 take the Queensbury crumbs.
The favorite argument Of cham
pion when challenged by a dangerous
man is the weight.
"He will have TO make the weight,
IS the dictum of the champion, and the
assertion has been made by some Of
the lightweight elect that Britton is a
welter. and therefore has no business
in the lightweight class.
Il is true that Britton in his bout
with Notter weighed 139 pounds TO his
opponents lac. but Britton declares
he will make 135 pounds for any Of
the lightwoights. Then English light
weight limit is 135 pounds at p. m..
and Britton would be charmed to
make that weight for a bout with
Welsh, Shugrue, or Cross. AS for
Ritchie. Britton will permit the form
er title holder TO weight whatever he
pleases So far as New Workers are
concerned, they saw BrttOn shaded
but once. and that was by Mcfarland.
Many of the present day top-notch
iiFftwcights would be comparatively
easy for Britton. and the mystery is
thar he does not get a chance TO mee
somc of them II was thought for
time that Britton was retrogress'ng
but his work against the powerful
Notter proved that Jack still possesse
all the wonderful skill and general
ship that have con-pired 10 make hin
so unwelcomc to the lightweights.
