the local led had decidedly the best of the
Although Reilly lead in strikeouts
with seven and held the Highlets to
ono hit until the sixth he was very wild
and walked six men. Wilmington punched
five of its seven hits in the sixth for two
of its runs The first run of the day which
proved enough to win the game came IN
the fourth as result of n pass to Grubb
after two men were out. Grubb promptly
stole Sc cond and went TO third on Iolln
hard line drive To Sc cond which hickman
dropped. While Hickman was getting over
the sensation of stopping the ball 6rubo
stole home.
Tolln pitched a masterful game through

livery to the outfcld. Only three OF the
visiting batsmen famed, the rest gong
out on pop flies and ground balls to the
inGeld which is indicated by the large
number of assists.
OF the six hits made by West Chester
only once were they able TO get two III
one inning off TOllin and that was IN the
eighth when nc seemed TO weaken. The
first two men up got on base on an iniieid
hit and Tollin's only base on balls. Ioliin
then seemed to tighten up and the next
two went out in order on pop-ty TO
third and strikcout. Things again began
10 look dangerous when the next man
hit a slow one along third which neither
Tollin or Robin were able to handle III
time. With three on a fast one was mt
down third base line but fast fielding by
Jimmy Robbins retired the side.
Aside from pitching good ball tollln
also hit sharply on every trlp to the
plate and succeeded in collecting two
safetics. Eddie Manlove also secured
two hits, having perfect day with two
hits and two wa lks in four trips to the pan
