FOR COLLEGE Athletes

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEWARK, April 3.-Delaware Col
lege athletes have busy week ahead
Of them, as both Coach William ]. Nc
Avoy and Assistant Coach C. e.
keyes. have planned to work the
candidates for both baseball and
track every minute that is available.
This is necessary because of the fact
of so much training time having
been lost on account of the recent
rainy weather.
squad of men. under the d'rec-
tion of Groundkeeper Rose, will be
put to work today to get Joe Frazer
Field in shape. The ground is still
very soft, but it is thought that the
field can be placed in good shape in a
few days. providing there is no more
rain.
AS he now has but one week to get
together a baseball team for the OPEN
ing game with Baltimore Polytechnic
here on Saturday, Coach McAvoy Will
not have time to give new material
much attention this week. He has not
had an opportunity to see any of the
new candidates in action and does not
really know what he has. All that can
possibly be attempted this week is to
get team together that will make a
good showing against Baltimore
Polytechnic and the work of develop
ing men for the several places left
vacant because of graduation last
June. will have to be done later. Most
of the time will be taken up with bat
ting practice and throwing the ball
around. None of the candidates for
pitchers have ever had any practice.
and it is going to be hard to get man
in shape for the opening game.
Professor Charles A. McCue. presi-
dent o. the athletic council. and
Coach McAvoy are arranging to
award the numerals "D's," sweaters,
gold football and medals for break
ing records, in all lines of sports for
1915. This will probably be done to-
morrow morning.

NO state LEAGUE TEAM
FOR ALLENTOWN FANS

ALLENTOWN, Pa, April 3. - The
Pennsylvania State League seems to
have faded from the horizon. so far
as organized baseball in Allentown is
concerned, leaving free field for
the Atlantic League, which was the
first to announce it's plans, and has
secured the Allentown Fair Grounds.
Allentown fans are glad to see the
avoidance of baseball war. In some
other towns there are sports who pro-
fess to see some advantage in a ball
fight, but men with money are shy OF
investing it under such conditions in
the towns chosen by the Atlantic
League. With Easton and Reading in
the circuit. Allentown will have plen-
ty of home rivalry to whet the fans
appetites. and there will not be the
bad blood that would result from two

LOCAL SPORTSMEN WILL
BACK HERACL ON MAT

A company Of local business men
is about to be formed to put John
Hcracl in the front OF the wrestling
game.
Heracl has proved himself a credit
TO Wilmington. and perhaps the entire
State. for i'm all his bouts he has been
defending the Delaware championship
which he holds. aside from what per-
sonal pride he derives from the game.
He is a big-hearted. honest chap. who,
though he could crush YOU with one
hand. would rather get satisfaction
by playing your own game, Whatever
it might be. After his work here dur
ing the past few weeks he has more
than proven that he has the goods.
When spoken TO last night he said
that he understood that he would be
worked regularly and that he was to
keep IN training He also said that
his agreement called for him not to
meet anybody out OF his class. John,
who did not seem inclined to say
much on the subject. said that more
would be learned about the matter in
the next few days. and that in the
meantime he was going 70 keep Quiei
about IL. and leave it all to his man

MIDDLETOWN TEAM
LOOKS Good AGAIN

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
MIDDLETOWN Del, April g.
Manager Daniel W. Stevens, OF
the Middletown Athletic Association
Baseball team has now about com
pleted the 1916 schedule. The sched-
ule Will consist of about thirty games,
most Of which will be played at home
The season will open May 8, with
one OF the Wilmington clubs and close
on September 80. with another VIII.
mington club. Double headers will be
played on holidays. while the Juniors
VIII play on Wednesdays. All OF the
best teams OF the State are included
on the schedule.
While the locals have lost several
or the crack players who helped to
make the 1915 season a success. il is
thought there is enough material left
to put a strong team on the field.
Manager Stevens has signed a score
OF players and with one or two ex-
ceDtions has his team complete.
Segelken. who has done practically
all the catching for Middletown since
the team was organized, will be seen
in his old position. and. considering
his steadiness. and the fact that he is
good sticker, it would be hard TO
find better man for the position.
"Bennie" Gibbs. last years captain
and third baseman. will be substitute
catcher Gibbs caught for Middletown
, when the town was represented on the
, diamond several years ago. and al
though light, he proved himself a good
backstop.
George Finn. the crack southpaw.
will again be the mainstay in the
box Finn was recognized last year
as the best pitcher in Delaware and
lost but one game out OF 10 during
the season. Culver. who proved a star
last year. has announced that he will
be ready to relieve Finn whenever
called upon He pitched two games
last year, winning both, and striking
out % men and 10 men, respectively.
Judging from the men signed the
locals will have an infeld that will
be hard TO beat in semi-professionalI
ball. ike Gibbs, first base; Hoover,
second base. "Bennie" Gibbs. third
base and Buddy Walker shortstop
are all fast men. and good hitters.
Walker Is rated by many fans who
have seen him perform. slated for the
majors. He is a star as a fielder and
good 800 hitter Hoover played on
the Wilmington Gas Co team at the
same time Charlie Byron. also from
here. was performing wonders on the
same team. He is a brainy player.
and will more than likely be elected
captain. The ability OF Ike and Ben
Gibbs is as we'll known to Whining
ton fans as it is to the Middletown
fans. Both are good fielders and arc
reliable at the bat
In addition TO the above Manager
Stevens has several local boys on
the string who will be given a chance
TO make good They are Elmer Kirk.
George Swain. William Gallagher.
Theodore Whitlock. and Albert Jolls.
All OF these men played with the Jun
iors last year and proved beyond doubt
that they are good ball players.

weight had been thrown into the
scale of the anti-German side.
DiplOmatically, then, it is beyond
belief that sane conduct of the
negotiations would lead Germany to
force-a break. On the side of eco
nomic considerations, the appeal will
be quite as strong. German pub
licists have indeed tried to convince
the German public that the whole
economic weight of America has al
ready been cast against the central
empires. But the men in authority
in Berlin know that this is not true;
know that the tremendous resources
and credit of America, thrown to the
allies side, would add vastly to the
odds against Germany in a war of
economic attrition such as seems now
to be in progress and in prospect.
