games won by the invincible rail
readers, which merited them the
honor of champions of the most illus
trious league of national pastimers
Newark fandom ever had the pleas
ure of witnessing.
The promoters of the Twilight
League, the team managers ano
players are worthy of esteem for the
class of base ball played and the
manner in which the games were con-
Quoted. The Twilight League was a
luxurious success, not only from a
playing standpoint but inasmuch as
it furnished clean and honorable re-
creation for thousands of working
people who owing to cost of living
cannot afford to enjoy the many other
means of recreation.
The grounds being located in the
central part of the city and the
games being played after working
hours made it possible for most all
the citizens to enjoy the sport.
Just who is the most worthy of
mention for their efforts to make the
proposition a success is a difficult
matter to decide, but the one whom
the writer deems worthy of as much
credit as any other is Mr.. Wilson
Kelsey, who is one of Newark's most
genuine sports, and it was through
his efforts to improve his team that
made the others do likewise, which
resulted in the high class of ball
played. Wilson, in his college days,
was the star catcher of the Wash
ington and Jefferson team and an all
around athlete.
Another feature which added dig
nifty to the league was the securing
of Mr.. Livingston, the popular coach
Of Denison University, as umpire.
Mr.. Livingston is a gentleman whose
friends are numbered according to
his acquaintance, and his being for
number of years Denison's coach is
evidence of his ability as an arbitra-
tor. His honesty was beyond ques-
ton and his decisions in the most
hotly contested games were seldom if
ever disputed. This fact had much
to do with the elimination of the
wrangling that so frequently dis
rupts the progress and mars the
pleasure of so many games. Mr.. W.
L. Greiser, athletic director Of the
Y. M. C. A, was another enthusiast
who assisted in furthering the IN
terests of the league, he being the
official score keeper who accurately
tabulated the records of the league.
1t is hoped that as so many people
are interested in the league that next
year will see more Of the citizens VINO
are financially willing to lend help
ing hand to improve the ground at
White Field and make next season
a banner year for the national pas
time.
