BETHLEHEM OPPOSES
HARLAN ON SATURDAY

The Harlan team OF the Bethlehem
steel Corporation League will again be
seen IN sction at South Side Park, sat
urdsy afternoon, this time against the
Bethlehem Club, OF South Bethlehem
pa.
Since the formation Of the league last
year, the Bethlehem combination has
been perhaps the strongest I'm the cir
cult Il remains TO be seen whether
they can repeat their pennant-winnins
stunt Of last season. There are some
veteran and clever players on the Beth
lehem team, but the other clubs are inn
mensely stronger. having been bolstered
up not only by minor, but also by
major league stars.
The personnel OF the Lehigh Valley
aggregation Is interesting. The pitch
ing staff Is composed Of Baumgartner,
former st. Louis and Phlllle star. and
well known I'm Wilmington as The Della
ware College baseball coach; Al
schacht, former international star, and
Anderson. veteran OF two years with
the Bethlehem team. The catchers in
clude Dick Wright, the clouter Of extra
base hits. former Federal Lacquer;
Charley Heath and Bernard Brlody.
The remainder OF the nine includes
"Beebe" Roth, Buck Boyle, Charlie
Aschenbach. kitty stark. Warren
Mecherlu. Fitzpatrick. Babe Tw0m-
bley, Johnny Superka and Herb
Kutz. many OF whose names are by
words with Wilmington fans. II is
easy 10 see, therefore the calibre Of
the team the Wilmington boys viii be
up against.
Manager Payne Will have the follow
ing lineup to oppose the Pennsylvsnians
Saturday: Lake. Ray. Dumont. Hamil-
ton, Wlngate, Charity. Martin, VOL
ters. Wagner, Hale and Payne
The crowd is expected 10 rival that OF

KEYSTONE TELLS HOW
THINGS HAPPENED

Sporting Editor, EVENING JOURNAL.
Dear Sir: / was not surprised TO read
IN your paper last night, New Castles
sl'bi concerning last Saturdays game
between New Castle and Keystone Field
Club. but will certainly say that
what be said IN last nights paper IS
lise the house that was built on a sand
pile. u had no foundation
IN one Of his paragraphs the New
Castle manager SAYS could not hire
him for $50. We'll. that is easy 10
answer as ! would not pay man OF
his ability 20 cents. In another para
grauh ne states that when a team wants
20 play baseball they do not want 10
bring fighting tactics before the eyes
Of the public The only lighting tactlcs
That we brought was when Mr.. Pinder'
tleir catcher, smashed at Mr.. Goloy.
He was backed by mob and had NOT
some Of our boys interfered ne would
have been assaulted. I think any team
would have done the same thing had
they any feeling for a mans bones. Do
not defy me about the umpire. ! will
say that when we had a 6-2 lead in the
second inning. Mr.. Rothrock. who Is
the New Castle team manager, and the
father as well as manager Of the team,
walked on the field and announced that
he was going TO do the umpiring
4 Mr.. Rothrock, the umpire, re-
members. 7 walked over and said: MI.
Roihrock. it does not look very good Tor
a manager TO umpire for his own
fAm." Who ever heard Of a manager
umpiring with his own son pitching !
Again he says that I secured the CITY
I'm hunt Of good ball players That Is
not true. II he will get the Elkton box
score and compare it with his own
scorebook he will find that he played
the same team that played the week
before.
We have "a stickers on our team and
do not have to take the one-day PLAYERS.
He also says he considers keystone
manager and players a bunch Of baby
klckers. who would use unfair means to
win a ball game. Well we have play
ed number Of teams this year and
have lost only one game, and that to a
good bunch of sports. the Continental
Fibre Company. Of Newark. We took
the defeat like men as we got a square
deal We are IN the game for sport
Let the best iesm win Is our motto
but not let a team that is not IN our
class win by robbing as was done 81
New Castle.
As 20 our players being baby kickers
] wish TO state that our players are toe
well known 10 have their regulations
hurt by unfair sports Ike the New
Castle crowd.
Now in closing Mr. Editor. ] wish e
say that Mr.. Rolhrock need not worry
about not playing us even for $500, a.
We could not get that amount OF money
and are willing 10 own up 10 IL, but W.
will play them for $50 and give ever!
cent Of the gate receipts 10 the Rec
Cross. the Soldiers Smoke Fund or th'
Police Pension Fund. Let Mr. Rothrocl
meet us In person and not through thu
newspaper. This Is our only reply q
him. Yours I'm sport

and Mcleod I'm four. Playing the
twelfth IN four. par, Barnes won the
hole. putting his team three up. The
thirteenth hole was halved In three. all
around. Reid won the fourteenth
with a three by perfect playing. This
put the victor four up. Barnes chnched
the match on the fifteenth hole with q
i've. lie was on the green In three
after hooking into the rough on the
left after a 27O-ysrd drive.
Reid and Barnes showed splendid
form all the way. Their driving and
putting were excellent. At times Reid
played almost uncanny golf. Campbell
and Mcleod also played a nice driving
game. but their approaching and put
ting weer not as consistent as the Eng
llshmen.

alton when registering may vote a

ton, designating elector as candidate
