Some Of you fellows seem to think
we ball players have very little or
nothing to do in the shipyards." re-
marked Gus Getz the former Brooklyn
player. after the game between the Har-
Ian & Hollingsworth and Standard ship
building nine, at the polo grounds re-
Gently. III you don't think so, look
here" The ball player showed out two
mean-looking paws, which not only
were literally calloused but were cut
and lacerated in several places.

my hands most torn TO pieces. But they

A couple OF ball players up at Fore

That served as a lesson TO all. Mighty

INTEREST In BIG
BATTLE INCREASING

Interest is increasing In the import
ant southpaw battle which Will be
staged at the new National A. A., Phil
adelphia, tomorrow night. Lew Tend
Ter has a big following In Philadelphia.
and his supporters are losing no oppor-
tunity to boost the former newsboy's
stock. George Clancy, the other half
OF the big show, has a few roOters in
Philadelphia who have been making a
strong defense. CLANCY and Tender
win clash in the frst special show OF
the indoor season and should attract
a large crowd.
Clancy Is due in Philadelphia today
TO complete his work. Tender reached
where he has been for the last week
doing some recruiting OF labor for Hog
Island. He will finish his training at
Adam Ryan's. CLANCY Is scheduled to
make Jack O'Brien's his headquarters
during his brief stay in Philadelphia.
This will be Tenders 1rst attempt
against a left-hander. His successful
voyage to the top Of the fstic ladder
has been made al the expense OF right
handlers. Clancy also has been more
than successful against the right-hand
boys. 70 remains n be seen who viii

the better knockout record. Tender
has won the majority Of his battles

20 CANDIDATES
FOR High ELEVEN

Field
PLAYING GROUND
PRESENTS PROBLEM

With the opening Of the High School
team yesterday the flrst call for can
dldates for the school football team
was issued and about twenty gridiron
hopefuls, ianeluding several veterans
from last years eleven responded for
practice at the Baynard Athletic Field.
Football at the High School this fall
has had a very doubtful outlook 10 the
returning students and stlll lf a doubt
ful proposition 10 those In charge. Il
Is hoped however, be II only for pos
terity's safe, that the popular autumnal
psstime which Is so important IN
school and college life will retain It's
place on the athlet,s calendar at the
Wilmington High School.
The question OF securing an enclosed
playing field Is the hitch that Is par
tlcularly bothering the team. With the
old Front and Union streets grounds
and the Pennsy field torn up. Harlan
Field Is the only enclosed grounds In
the city. II Is understood that efforts
viii be made 20 secure this field for
mldweek dates the only possible time
that II may be avallsble, for In all
probability II will be used every Setur-
day by Harla-s soccer and football
elevens. There Is also some talk OF
securing Frazer Field, at Newark, but
this proposition seems at least accept
able. Practices would be held at the
Baynard Athletic Field. These facts in
dicate what obstacles must bO over
come In order that there may be foot
fall at the High School.
The first real workout will be held
this afternoon when all the availeble
material for an eleven Is expected 10
be out. Mr.. Mullen, formerly Of the
Central Y. NJ. C. A. Of Philadelphia. and
at present physical director for the
High School, will have charge.
Quite a likely squad responded 10 the
call yesterday, among them being sew
eral veterans. These included Harvey
Hays, the hard-hitting halfback; Kid
Donaldson, regular center for the past
two seasons, and Carl, another back
field man. Irv Warren and Anderson,
ends; Bounds, guard; ManlOve, quar-
terbacb, all Of last years Varsity elev-
en-, have returned 10 school, Il is under
stood and will be out for practice this
afternoon. Among those left expected
20 make a rtrong bid for positions arc
Gam, keenan,, Schwartz, Conley, Schae-
fer, Patton, Heathcote, Manning, Dig
gans and Sidwell
Ike Elliott may return 10 High School
He has been working at the Harlan
plant sine February. Ike was elected
captain for this yesr. and yesterday he
stated that he expected TO go back TO
school next week. With Elliott and
others mentioned back High School has
a fne necleus around which to build
a strong eleven.
Several Of asst years stars, includ-
Ing Captain Johnny De Luca, Gray Car
ter and Dick Almond were out for
pi actice yesterday. These three are
lost TO the team through graduation.
They viii matriculate 20 Delaware Col
lege, wnere they have great possibilities
OF making names for themselves.
Others OF last years eleven who viii
not be back are TOllln, halfback, who
Is out for football at Lehigh Univer-
sity; Fell, quarterback; MusSsy Nc
Graw, star end, who moved to Buffalo;
