Baseman to Give Della
ware Fast Team

ON APRIL II

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEWARK. Del. Mar. 13.-Now
that the basketball season has closed
at Delaware College. Coach McAvoy
and the prospective players are begin
ming to think of the baseball season
and the prospects. If the weather will
permit practice will probably start in
~ least two weeks as the opening
game is scheduled for April II with
p. NJ. c. at Chester and on April IA
he first home game with Drexel. There
are about IA games on the schedule
and all but FOUR will be played on
Frazer Field. Games are scheduled
with p. NJ. c. Drexel. st. Johns,
Rock Hill, Gettysburg, Haverford, Mt.
st. Mary's, Franklin and Marshall,
Jrsinus. Muhlenburg and Western
Maryland. Manager Lauritsen is be-
ing commended on the excellent sched-
ule that he arranged under all the
circumstances.
II Manager McAvoy can develop a
good pitcher and a hard hitting first
baseman the prospects for a fast
team are excellent Every other po-
sition on the team seems to be well
taken care Of. Only one player Doc"
Doherty was lost by graduation last
year but "Buck" Hoch, who was the
mainstay in the box for three years
quit college. mike" Fidance, at third.
Taggart at short and "Don" Horsey.
at second, all three OF whom played
fine bail in 1916 look to be sure of
their same positions again. Captain
Harold Horsey in left. and Stewart
In right OF the 1916 varsity will no
doubt make those positions again
while the indications are that Madden,
r. freshman. will cover centre. Mad
den has had considerable baseball eX-
perienco having played on New Castle
and Wilmington teams There will be
number of last years scrubs and
several freshmen out and it is possi-
bic that first baseman can be found.
One likely candidate is Selby, a fresh.
man who made the football team his
freshman year. Selby is an infelder
and may fit into the first base job.
Clancy, freshman. is highly recon-
mended as pitcher He pitched at
Wildwood and Cape May the past two
years. He is a southpaw and much dc
pends on how he shows up. Webb and
Ewing OF last years scrubs viii also
be pitching candidates.
There is plenty OF material for back
Ot the bat. Pierson who did most oi
he catching last year should be
much improved while mike" O'Dan
ieI. who made his %" in 1915, will be
out again. Another likely candidate is
Walter Ritz. a Newark boy, who for
merly caught on the Newark Tri
County League team and also the
Newark High.

another fast BALL team

DELAWARE CITY, Del, March l3-
From present indications, this town
will be represented this year by the
hest baseball team in history. More in
terest is being shown than in years.
William Ball is expected to be named
manager OF the team, and with the
support Of the business men. the best
team that has ever represented this
town will be placed in the field.
A meeting will be held the latter
mart of this week, when the team will
he organized, officers elected, grounds
discussed and means taken for the f.
nanoing of the team. There are sew
eral available sites for a diamond.
AS FAR as material is concerned the
prospects are better than ever. There
Is only one place. which at present
looks bad. and that is for pitchers
However. there are several men who
will be developed for this job.
AS far as hitting and fielding is con
cerned. the team viii be stronger
than ever. The proposed inteld vii
rank with the best in this State, with.
out exception. both on the offense anc
defense. With Hoover behind the bal
and holding things up in fine style
this place will be well taken care of.
With Rimes at first, Frank Neeff OF
second, Morrow at short and Jordal
at third, it does not seem possible
that anything can be knocked out o
the infield.
The material for the outfield is ex
cellent. Pennington. White and Georg

MT. ST. MARY CANCELS
Delaware FOOTBALL CANE

Special TO THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEWARK, March 13.-Delaware
College is without a football game for
next Thanksgiving Day and Manager
Bowen and members Of the Athletic
Council are much concerned as to
where they can schedule a strong
game for that day. 1t was thought
that all arrangements had been made
FOR Mt St. Mary's, the same team that
played hee last Thanksgiving to re-
turn on the same day this year. but
some hitch has developed and Mt. St.
Mary's refuses to sign contract.
Manager Bowen received word sew
eral days ago Of this decision on the
part Of st. Mary's. Most all teams
have completed their schedules by this
time and although every effort is be-
ing made TO get q game it will be
a difficult proposition at this time. The
Thanksgiving Day game is always
largely attended and as a matter of
fact the Athletic Council depends on
the receipts Of that day to make up
the usual losses up until that time.

Gibbons Ready TO Defend
Worlds Championship

when Jack Dillon and AL Mccoy bat
tied Also. It would end for all time
any argument as to whether Al. Nc
Coy is entitled TO the championship.
AS a matter of fact Mccoy isn't en-
titled to the championship any more
than any one else. To be a champion a
boxer should be able to defeat the
best in his class. Mccoy hasn't even
kept pace with Freddie Welsh.
There is only one real defeat chalk
ed up against Mike since he began
boxing in 1908 and that was when
Jimmy Clabby was awarded a de-
cision at the end OF ten rounds with
/ the famous st. Paul flash. He has
shown badly in one or two no decision
contests. among them being one with
Soldier Bartheld, and one with Packey
Mcfarland. He was generally credit
ed with having been outboxed In both
Of these affairs.
