settled for $500. and shortly afterward
Brown was traded TO the Cubs.

The work or fight" order VIII hit the
boxing contingent hard. While there
have been a large number Of enlistments
both IN army and navy, yet the great
body Of boxers have not even applied
for positions as boxing instructors, and
the majority Of them are Of draft age.
An interesting point is raised in ref
erence to the glove wielders as TO
whether tnstructlng tho soldiers and
sailors in the science OF boxing win be
regarded by the military authorities as
useful occupation. The question came
TO the fore several months ago, when
While Richie asked for exemption on

Wilmington has not been particularly
strong on the track and field this year
for one reason because some Of the

have a good chance at Swarthmore

WILMINGTON IGHLETS

Take First Game of Series
Here Yesterday
7 TO 0
LOCALS WIN ON
ONLY TWO HITS
! to o-and worse than It sounds.

7 TO 0-and worse than it sounds.
Wilmington High made just two hits
and scored seven runs; Chester con-
! nected safely four times and didn't
score at all in the first ball game OF
the Wilmington High and Chester High
at Front and Union streets yesterday
The game was featured by the clever
fielding Of Underwood at shortstop, in
fact Of the entire Wilmington team ex-
oept ManlOve.
Chester made nine errors, and that
tells the tale. They missed grounders
and flies, they made bad pegs and their
third baseman Eyre must have been
hypnOtized. as he made four errors.
The pitching Of ogden was not bad,
he had miserable support. The only
thing that could be said against him is
that ha was a trlfle wild. He had
speed. curves and a charge Of pace
tried hard TO win his own game, making
two hits, one Of them the best smash Of
the game, but everything broke against
him.
Tollin pitched a cool and heady game
and was never In danger Of being scored
on except when Ogden pOled out that
scoTching double over GreenwoOd's
head with a man on FIRST in the eighth.
Only Greenwood's fast work saved a
score at that time as bis return was
perfect on a seventy-yard throw.
The headiest play OF the game was
Gray Carter's clever bunt in the seventh
with two on base. The ball went at
the right speed in the proper direction
and as a result a run score, and another
came in when Eyer was unable to pick
up McCafferty's easy bounder, and stood
there In trance. while Highlet
romped around the bases. Highlet
earned just one run during the game.
The only feature Of the game, which
proved a Wllmington-Chester fracas
was the unusual number Of students
present and the organized cheering by
partizans OF both teams. After the
game rejoicing Wilmington students
had a parade to celebrate their victory.
The score:
