son on Saturday. This year the league
is composed Of the Vandever. Eden
Southside. Pioneers. BrownsoR East
lake. Brandywine, Bancroft and New
port clubs. comprising an eight-club
organization for the first time in the
history of the league. The newcomers
this year are Brandywine. Brownson
and Newport. -. The Browntown club
is the only old member not represent
ed this year
Like the Church League the ALL
Wilmington League is stronger than
ever because Of the fact that many
men who were members of last years
Del-Mar League are now under con-
tract with the older organization. All
OF the best men who kept the league
out in front last year are back. al
though with different clubs and every
team manager declares that he has
the best club that ever entered upon
an All-Wilmington League schedule.
With the shift among players has
come a new line up Of team managers.
/ Joe Crossan has succeeded Dan Far
ran as manager of the 1915 champion
/ Vandever team. Joe Bradley, last
years Bancroft pilot. is directing the
Pioneers. Roland Johnson has sue
ceeded NJ F. Anderson at Eastlake,
and j. F. Grow Proud has became
manager Of the Bancroft bunch.
George STONY August will again try
to drive Eden-SOuthside toward the
remnant pole The new managers and
their teams are; Prince A. Mousley'
! Brandywine: Daniel A. Mccarthy,
Brownson and B. B. Mitchell, New
port.
On paper the Bancroft. Pioneers,
| Brownson. Eden and Brandywine
clubs looks best. Among the Ban
croft men is George Winters, the for
inner Boston American League twirler.
George, however. will not do the Ban
croft twirling. Proud has planted him
at third. and will depend on the old
big leagues fielding and hitting to
keep his team up IN the race.
Joe Dougherty and Bill Crouch, who
won a pennant for Vandever last year,
are with Brandywine this year. Rod

second place last year, are with the
lclub again, and there arc some man.
