MIDDLETOWN PICK UPS
by @AL.v
BY @AL."

Lefty was right on the Job Saturday
when he shut the strong Penlyn team
out with only FIVE hits All five
were scratches.
No wonder Penlyn lost. Look at the
battery they used to what they gem
orally use.
Sam, the Port Penn copyist, says
well, Middletown, what do you think
of the defeat we handed Park" Sam,
my boy, we think it was as raw a deal
as any club could hand another
Good for you. Mr.. Flynn. We don't
doubt your statements one bit.
Rube Dunbar covered short for the
locals in big league style. You're due
to stick Dunbar, old man, il you
keep up such playing.
Penlyn only five limitations Of hits
off Finn, and two OF these were made
by a former Middletown player.
Our whole nine is going a break
neck speed at present. We can't be
stopped
Port Penn beats Wilmington A. c.
Yes, w. A. c. got eight hits off Port
Penn, while they never got a single
scratch OFF us. Sure we've got the
best club.
Sam, we admit we're afraid OF the
sharks. After the rotten deal you
handed Park we're convinced that
you have got baseball sharks around
Port Penn.
Seggie. our big backstop. is play
ing the game OF his life. In 10 games
he has only made one error. Some
catcher, eh. boysl
Yes, Sam. the Athletics were the
worlds champions once. Before Mack
broke up his team he won pennant
after pennant. Well, our team
was practically the same last
year, as It is today, except for a few
improvements. Look out for us.
We beat Port Penn twice last year
in rather easy fashion. What man has
done man can do. As you've never
beaten us, you stand a poor chance in
starting against George Finn--the
best pitcher in Delaware.
Local fans are signing a petition by
which they will try to induce Man
ager McMunn to think up way to
make Sam write some dope that is or
iginal.
On Saturday the local boys will
have merry go round on the bases
scoring about two dozen runs. YO'
guessed 1t the first time. Yes, W,
play Port Penn.
Lefty Finn has won six straight
/ games All right. George, on Satur.
day we viii see where you make II
seven straight.
Come on, Mr. Walker. and schedule
a fast team for Saturday. No one
wants to see the fishermen fall all
over themselves trying to play base
ball.
Port Penn has been playing teams
composed of 16 and 1S-year-old boys
No wonder they are getting so many
victories.
All right Port Penn. II you win or
Saturday, well call you a ball team
but II you get beat--watch out.
Gas Is 25 cents a gallon. but San
should worry. He's still singing tn,
