We just happened to drop in on K.
D. Brahe, Athletic Manager Of the
Dye Works Baseball League, in time
to hear him making arrangements
with Repauno for a series OF games
between the best they have and our
All-Stars. The first game will be
played Saturday, June 28th, at Penns
Grove and the second game will then
be staged at Repauno on August End.
Final arrangements for the last two
games Of the series have not been
made. Brahe also informed US that
We will soon have a chance to see Ar
lington, Eastern Laboratories, HarTi-
son Paint, Chevrolet, Parlin, New
burgh and other of our DUPONT cousins
who can be booked for either a game
or a series of games.
We also learned from Mr.. Brahe
that several new stars have been add
ed to the leagues roster and, still
further, that there are more On the
way. This looks to US like four even
ly matched teames by July 1st. Go
to it! And by the way, why not de-
clare a winner for the first half of the
season on July 1st and then let the
four teams take a fresh start and play
it out for the second half, the winners
of each half playing a series at the
end of the season for the champion
ship ? Why not, were askin' you ?
We can't help but remark that
Chemical looked much better in their
game with Mechanical than they did
against Engineering. Stevens, who
pitched for Chemical against Mechani-
cal made the best showing of any of
the high-priced fingers that Chief
O'Connor has yet been able TO land
for his hired hands. Stevie not only
had the Mechanics popping them
straight up in the air when hits meant
runs but he walked up to the plate in
the last inning and whaled out a per-
fectly clean triple, only to fall
asleep off third while Goosetree pull
ed the hidden ball stuph over. How
ever Stevie worked hard during the
game and we can't exactly hate him
if he did take a little ooz
Tuesdays game between Operating
and Engineering, which the latter won
by the score of l to 0, was by far
the fastest game of ball played to
date. Operating sprung quite a sur
prise by their showing, and Hanley
who pitched for the Operators, de-
served a much better fate. Consider
ing the batting strength Of the two
teams, it is only fair to say that Han
ley outpitched Ogden by a wide mar
gin, and had it not been for an unfor-
tunate slip somewhere between centre
field and second base We guess the old
game would be going yet.
We suppose We are to consider our
selves severely criticized by j. L. g.,
writing for the Carney's Point Adver-
Using Circular, for calling the atten-
ton of the fans TO the unnecessary
abuse of the ball players. In chastis-
ing US, J. L. G.. says baseball is a
mans game and a whole lot more
stuph that we didn't worry about
enough to remember We agree with
you, J. l., that baseball is a m ans
game, and we want to add to that,
that it is also a gentleman's game and
is enjoyed by both sexes, but we can't
expect the fair sex to come out and sit
in the stands and hear a ball player
panned in such a way that his whole
family and his ancestors are brought
into the argument, nor do the real fans
come out to the game to hear some Of
these "small-town" rooters who only
GO to the games to hear themselves
rather than to watch the game and
try to better baseball. Outside of this
We like roofing, J. L., but that other
stuph amt rootin-that's knockin'.

Mechanical,0; Chemical, 5.
Mechanical had a new pitcher and
counted on big things.
