HARLAN CAPTURES
SHIP LEAGUE FLAG
Wins Delaware River
Championship Over New
York Shipbuilding
DUMONT HAS RIVALS
EATING OUT OF HAND

Never was more conclusive con0rma-
tion given the old axiom, "Class will
tell" than yesterday, when the Harlan
team broke the existing deadlock with
New York Shipbuilding for the cham
pionship OF the Delaware River ship
builders League. defeating The latter in
Philadelphia by the score Of . TO 0.
An analysis is absurdly simple. Har-
Ian had the greater number OF former
major league players. Il was Ike pit
tins the Red SoX against a ilrst-rate
college nine And IL did not take the
crowd long 10 wise up, for both on the
defensive and offensive the Whining
ton tossers maintained a clean cut su-
periorily.
Dulnont, who n the past has twirled
so many close contests for Washing
ton. worked on the hin for the winners
and was In superb form, his curve ball
breaking at Just the right second.
Coupling this with an occasional dis
play Of smoke. he was always maste.
Of the situation and not a man reached
third base.
McGinley also put up a good brand Of
twirline. allowing but two more hits
than his rival. These however, were
inserted at timely moments and spelled
disaster. In the eighth inning he drew
a great hand by tanning Martin, Wal
ters and Joe Jackson In succession. He
retired only ono other batsman on
strikes, though, while DumOnts total
reached nine.
Until the fourth inning neither side
enjoyed a decisive advantage but in

resistance, and by some pretty baaerun-
ming registered twice. Cole led on with
a single and was sacrificed 10 second
by Martin. Mckinley scOoped in Wal
ters's roller, throwing him out az first,
while Cole took third. Joe jackson was
purposely walked, but crossed the Op-
position by engineering a qouble steal
on which Cole scored. jackson follow
ed his comrade over when Lynn pOled
a double TO left. the latter being
thrown out al the plate when he at
tempted 10 cross 10 on Lakes long
smash TO Meyer several minutes later.
Another tally was added IN the nth,
when Charity. the flrst man up,
crashed squarelv into one Of McGinleys
fast ones, looping 10 far over the high
screen in left fleld for a home run. The
next three bstters proved easy outs.
Jackson scored his second run In the
next frame. After two VverG out he
drove safely over second, stretching
the hit to a double by fast leg work
and a neal fall away slide. He then
came all the way home when S. Len
nox got tangled up trying 10 field
Lynns bounder down second.
Charity put the final run over in the
ninth inning when ne scored from third
base on a wild pitch. Lynn and Lake
had each singled previously, but had
been cut down by fast fielding.
On only two occasions did New York
threaten. The first was in the fourth
inning when vivid" C0nroy walked and
Lennox got in the road Of pitched ball.
Conroy was tossed out at third on
Bsrkalows grounder, and after Walker
had flied 10 Johnson, LennoX was
nipped at the plate trying 10 count on
Meyers drive 10 left.
The ganfe Nvas Nfeatured by good
fielding throughout although several
bits OF work. such as Meyers running
catch Of Carlln's long fly in the NTH,
stood out prominently. Charity and
Dumont also co-operated splendidly on
hits down rst base, while Wild Con-
roy with seven assists should not be
overlooked. Score:
