WILDEL LINERS
BY Harvey.

Another win 10 our credit makes
the grand total Of eleven victories and
no defeats. q record OF wh4h any
team should be proud or the FIVE do
feats registered against us. four have
been lost IN the State OF Pennsylvania
10 some OF the fastest semi-profes-
sional teams in and around Philadei-
phla.
Conner was on the mound Satur-
day. and proved that he was the sans
Conner OF old by holding the heavy
hitting Port Penn team Co two lone
singles. besides connecting with the
old apple for two singles and a triple.
A. Strawbridge held him in fine
style. The kid surprised his team
mates as little was known OF his
ability behind the stick. This boy
needs watching. being as quick as
lightning besides being possessed Of
wonderful throwing arm.
II. saiters. the lanky twirler Of
wildel. held down the initial sack IN
great style. accepting fifteen chanfeS
game he nut ND Saturday r. Is likely
that he will occupy this position for
the remainder OF the season. as this
seems 10 be weak spot in the locals
lineup since Koitsch left 10 join the
vandever club in their dash for tho
pennant
Dowd occupied sekond IN tho
absence Of Nichols and accepted
everything that came his way, but
failed 10 connect with the old apple.
What's the matter. Rcd, has the bat
ting eye gone lame?
The playing Of McCullin az short
was also one OF the features Of the
game. Paul accepted eight difficult
chHnces without misSue. besides
driving out two perfect singles. which
was good enough 10 bring home four
out OF the first seven runs. HIS iast
fielding brought applause from inc
Port Penn fans.
Green. however. has proved TO he
the find OF the season. accepting
everything that has come his way az
the hot corner. besides leading his
team mates with the willow for the
number OF games played. Lest we for
get he was one OF the mainstays sew
: eral years ago with the old Landlth
and Madison teams in the Semi-Pro'
b fess'onal League. He is one or sew
eral players around town who nave
! pulled of the comeback stunt.
r. Strawbridge. in left made sew

good for hits and the fans yelled

everything goe sin baseball and that
what we got him there for. either e
