Events two and three are TO be at

With Baseball Weather Here
Real Ball is Due Tomorrow

When the teams OF the All-Wil-
mington League clash in their weekly
engagements tomorrow afternoon. IL
is forogone conclusion that some
more fast exhibitions OF the old game
will be staged. The teams have just
started to warm up and the usual
hard fight for the top rung ir waging,
as is usual at the beginning Of the
season only three games have thus
far been played, rain having called
the games two weeks ago.
Vandever will make its first visit of
the season TO Jack McDevitt's field at
New Castle tomorrow. New Castle
has come across with two victories so
far this season. while the Vandeverites
have not yet been crossed by their
rivals, having a clean slate OF three
victories. With Joe Myers occupying
the hill, It is asserted that the New
Castle nine is going to break the little
streak OF the local boys. This Is
doubted by Vandever, who, with Bill
Crouch. who managed TO hand Harry
Hoch his first defeat OF the season
last Saturday in good trim, feel al
most certain OF returning home with
McDevtts scalp. A real, full-of-life
game is assured
Front and Union will be the scene
of a battle between Pioneers and
Brandywine. both or whom are IN
second position In the league race,
with two victories and one defeat.
| This game will give the fans OF the
city some real baseball thrills, for
on IL hinges which team will drop out
OF second hole.
Brandywine will present two new
men on the field. Harold Wise, who
two years ago proved himself TO be n
capable mound performer at New
Castle. will probably get a chance on
the hill Tho game will be started by
Harry Hoch. however. If Hoch is in
his usual trim. though chances are
that Wise won't. get a chance at Pho

Are Ball Players Slackers? Some May
Be, But Hear What Collins and Baker Say

Il is interesting to study the atti-
tudc with which bsllplsyers regard
the probability OF going to war.
Now that conscription has passed
and the age limits have been fixed. 1t
is not at all improbable that baseball,
that is, baseball as we knoY it now,
will be dead issue next year.
u may be possible for the major
leagues and perhaps a few OF the
greater minor leagues TO recruit their
teams with old players from the
minors to take the place OF the
youngsters who will be called 10 the
colors, but it is not likely that the
high-class game which Is now being
seen on the big circuits will be pos
sible next year.
