Lux is filing Staffords shoes to
perfection. The Kid is playing the
game OF his life for Wildel. besides
hitting the ball at a lively clip. His
throwing to the bags Is OF first-class
order. and more than one is turned to
the side-tracks by his wonderful whip.
W. Salters. the pitching wonder,
the pride OF Wildel, had his former
teammates at his mercy, and had
them guessing at all angles OF the
game. This fellow. with good support
behind him. is a hard man to beat.
Our favorite BIZ is considered one
Of the best semi-professional pitchers
in the State.
Duffy. the first sacker Of Wildel, is
playing the game of his life. and his
wonderful batting has brought more
than one victory to the Strawbridge
contingent His fielding is of the A

Ruff. the former fremont star. is
playing the game OF his life for
'Dad's' wreckers. besides hitting the
old apple at a regular clip. Our fav-
orite "Rickey' is considered one Of
the most dangerous batters on the
team, and believe me. Ragan has sign

KID slip by. How about this. Jack
are we right?
McCullin. the wonderful short-stop
is a hard proposition to beat His
batting in the game at Odessa was
too much for Ward and his iwo-base

r. Strawbridge. the fleet-footed
left-helder is improving in his bat
ting under the tutoring OF Dad" The
wonderful wing OF this Kid has de-
cided several games up 20 date, and
for a faster man on the bases he's
hard to beat.
Smith. the newly married man Of
the Wildel Club has returned from
his honeymoon. and will play on Sat

The boy has Joined the home-run
class. his contract being signed for
life but Just ask MIR. Stevens. Of
Middletown. whether or not Smith Is
a fielder. In this game Smith nailed
five runners at the plate from deep
center. and was given the glad hand
by the Middletown fans.
A Strawbridge will probably play
in the out-held. as Dad" has now de-
cided on his infeld. With this addi-
ton in the outfeld, we're hard to
beat. These three lads are all pos
sessed OF a wonderful wing. besides
hitting the ball at a lively clip. Mid

combination. Ask Dad" he knows.
Cortez. the Charlie Chaplain OF the
