stop Chester. This is the slogan OF
seven out OF eight teams In the Della
ware River ship League, which, con-
sldering that Il Is its first season. Is en-
loving unusual success. But Chester
has not yet been humbled and pos
sesses a clean record, with two victor

Yard. Harlan. Traylor and Pusey and

The league leaders are managed by
Frank Miller, for long time promi-
oent factor In the Delaware County
League and manager Of Upland. Miller
has a fine team under his wing and
rs destlnies on the field are directed
by Jimmy Eschen, the former New
Orleans outflelder. That Eschen Is
responsible general has been demon

A review Of the season TO date, how
sver. clearly shows that Chester mas
received all the breaks, especially In

teams have furnished. Had Sun drew
their neIrhbors a little later there

Manager Drennen placed almost an en-
Nrelv new club In the field on Saturday.
