Sport Editor EVENING JOURNAL.
You can scarcely call it Much Ado
About Nothing when there Is so
much noise made about Culver, the
Sussex southpaw. and Finn. the pride
of Middletown as they both might be
dubbed. for in the minds Of all inn
partial fans they are both as good
as the hest that play on the country
teams. but why not give the devil
his due" and let each one have the
honors that rightfully belong to him
have read with interest the items
in your valuable paper concerning
these two boys and feel that l. too,
can say a word about both Of them,
When Culver was winning every
game that was played here he was
the pride Of the fans It is true he
did not go up against some OF the
real fast ones, but he won the games
which was all that was required even
though he was never given the sup
port that Finn received. Won seven,
lost two is Culvers record for this
year with Middletown, and | doubt
very much if it will be equalled by
his successor. l might also add,
that his batting average is one that
is equalled only by the best Of them
and his work with the stick in the
right time has won several games for
the team on which he played
ITO the victor belong the spoils."
and the fact that Finn brought home
the bacon" from Saturdays game
overbalances the defeat which he suf-
fered at the hands of the Odessa boys
last Wednesday. when he was taken
from the box after four runs had
been scored in two innings off his
delivery. No doubt il was his "off
day," but who knows that these days
will not come oftener during the re-
mainder of the season, especially
when he pitches against a team like
Odessa. which he remarked was dead
easy.- Results show it was not so
easy as he imagined. II was notice
able that Manager Stevens could see
far enough ahead to have a valuable
man like Greenwell on the spot to
stop the scoring. The result of
Yesterdays game. which was post
poned on account of rain. probably
would have given Finn another
chance to further redeem himself, as
Manager Stevens had changed his
lineup and had secured players from
different points of the compass 10 de-
