Boosts and Knocks

New Castle has hit the tobog-
gan. The fishermen have been
going faster than they knew and it
is about time for them to slip.
Look out for that Traction
bunch. For the past few weeks
they have been playing faster and
more consistent ball than any
team in the league.
If Newark should capture the
game at New Castle on Saturday
the club will have an excellent
chance to overcome the leaders be-
fore September.
/ Kirk drove in four of Newark's
seven runs at Elkton and scored
one run himself.
Vannorts hit over the fence for
two bases in the sixth was the sec
ond safe drive the fast Elkton boy
has made off Hogan in two seasons
Wier had an off day at Elkton
and gave Newark the short end of
four close decisions in two innings
but fortunately they did not hurt
much.
Clay had trouble in finding the
plat in the first innings and when
he did get one over what Kirk did
to it was a plenty.
Schmickel was some proud of
his two base drive. He also help
ed some with a single in the ninth
and stole two bases.
The "Ump" robbed Charlie
Beatty of hit in the seventh inn
ing.
Scott Gregg played with a sore
foot and put up good game at
that, starting double play in the
seventh which ruined Elkton's
chances of scoring.
Charlie Beatty played a fast
clean game in the field and made
some hard chances look easy.
BILLY" Jackson will be missed
around short stop as he covered a
lot of ground without much noise
and could whip them to first with
the best of them.
1t is now up to every player to
do as Reynolds instructs on the
field without complaint. If his in
structions are wrong then the re-
sponsibility is on him.
Spence caught Hogan in fine
style and the southpaw is never
happier than when Spence is re-
ceiving him.
Potts who generally does some
thing sensational in the way of
hitting or fielding had bad day
Saturday and the locals stole
bases on him at will.
1t is only fair to give Scanlon q
chance should the opportunity
present itself as he is natural
ball player and should make gooc
with more work.
A large delegation of fans are
already planning to accompany
the club to New Castle next Sat
urday.
Mike" Fidance is sure hitting
the pill hard for Traction Co. anC
he and Doherty are covering miles
of ground in the outfeld.
Reynolds formerly pitched fol
the Jersey City club of the Inter
national League.
1t would look good to see Dick
Morris getting to hit the ball agar
as he did previous to this season
At that Dick" often gets in {
} timely wallop.
&, Reynolds changed the battin,
, order some and it seemed to dt
l some good.
; Lucy may be here to catch ii
/ the New Castle game and it is pos
b, sible that Reynolds will pitch.
{ If Newark can turn the trick o,
