a park that would hold 100000 people,

Quite a number OF women were seen
in The line as it curved at its entire
length around the adjacent corner.
Most of them were young girls. as
eager for the chance to see the fun as
anybody and game enough t. wait
their turn, no matter how 'onS il
might take before that turn arrived.
\ few messenger boys were in the
line, but these were looked on with
iisfavor as suspected employees OF
spectators.
The application cards read for tick

ELKT0N- -MIDDLET0WN
PLAY AGAIN TODAY

Special to The Evening Journal.
MIDDLETOWN, Sept. t3.-ln order t.
prove 10 the fans that the victory over
Elkton last Saturday was no fluke. the
local nine Will go to that town and en-
gage the team from that place in an
other game today. The local team has
been hitting a fast clip in the past few
weeks and local supporters are conf
IDENTIFY expecting another victory. The
local batters proved beyOnd a doubt by
the manner in which they walked into
Joe Clay that they have recovered their
batting eyes and Will make 1t warm for
any pitcher.
The addition Of Gostree and Blake to
the regular ranks has added new
strength to the Middletown agsrega-
ton. both defensively and extensively.
Gestee's pitching is Of the first
water and almost makes local
fans forget the wonderful deeds
Of Lefty Finn His hitting, too, is a
great factor in the offense-of the team,
and he is ably seconded by his catcher
Blake.
II is expected that Elkton will pre-
sent virtually its sme lineup with
Arrants on the firing line and Potts do
ing the receiving, and II so MiddletOvn
is in for a hard battle. This lineup
is an exceptionally fast one playing
saturdays game without a mistake.
The locals will likely make some
changes but these will strengthen the
team. Gostree and Blake will perform
battery work.

INTERNATIONAL STARS
MAY PLAY PARKSIDE

It is \ thought probable, that II ar
rangemehts can be made, the lnterna-
tional stars, who will shortly begin a
tour Of the Delmarvia peninsula, will
have at least one game with .he Park
side team. The date for this contest
has not as yet been talked Of. such a
contest would be treat for Whining
ton fans.
In addition TO the eight men who have
hit over 300 during the past season,
the Stars, who will oppose the Elks and
Layers-Out teams on Harlan Field on
Saturday, September 20. will have Jor-
dan. Brown and Ogden, three Of the
best hurlers in the international circuit.
Jordan has pitched two no-hit games
for Buffalo this season, and Brown is
the standby Of the Reading team Of
the same league. Ogden, former Ches-
ter High and SwarthmOre HEAVIER holds
the strike-out record of the lnterna-
tiOnal League. His speed is wonderful
faster than that Of the great majority Of
major league pitchers. Many Whining
ton fans who witnessed Chester County
League games when Frank Baker was
in that organization, VIII recall the
numerous occasions when ogden waded
through the opposing batters with
kingly disdain. lie was too fast for his
company. There is some talk OF
Ogden's going to the majors next Spring.
In the games in this city John Hum
mel will be seen on the second sack.
70 was learned this morning that VIII
mington fans are getting together, and
will present Honest John with some
sort OF surprise package when he steps
out on the diamond on the 20ih.
The remainder Of the teams lineup
has already appeared In The Evening
Journal
II has been definitely decided that the
Internationals will clash with the Caulk
Club, who claim the state champion
ship, on Saturday, September 81. All
Milford no doubt, will turn out to see
this game, as the Milford players are a
stiff proposition to any team. Of what
ever calibre. It seems almost too much.
