NOTES OF THE AMATEURS

CHANTOP, Webster and Tom Williams,
- star players of the Hilldale nine. one
of the fastest colored aggresations In the
country. have answered the call to the
colors. They have been In Class IA of
the draft and have recently been notified
to join the colors. Louis Santop. the
star backstop, is catching the most con.
sistent ball Of his career and his terrific
hitting has been a menace to the oppos-
ing pitchers. His ability to peg out base.
runners will make him valuable acqui
sition to the United States bombing crew.
p. +. (Specks) Webster. the fastest all
around player in the colored ranks, Is
a bulwark OF defense in the outfield, at
first base aud behind the plate. The loss
Of Tom Williams has been a severe blow
to the Hilldale nine. as his services in
the coming series with Rube Fosters
champion Chicago American Giants
would be of great value to the team.
Last Saturdays showers rendered the
playing field unfit for the game with the
fast-travelinK Cuban outfit. Many dis
appointed fans journeyed to Darby to
see the present combination In action for
the last time. Johnston. the outfelder,.
who broke his leg in the game on July
is slowly improving at the Presbyterian
Hospital. This makes the fourth player
whose services have been lost to TIN.
Hilldale team.
The Cubans are playing fast ball and
will be given a later date at Hilldale
Park.
Schedule Saturday, July 90. Atlantic
City Railroad: Thursday. July IS. Sun
