STATE CHAMPIONSHIP
HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL

What promises to be one of the
most spirited and closely contested
high school football games which Del
aware has enjoyed in some time will
be played tomorrow at 1890 a. m. on
Joe Frazier Field, Newark, Del.
Bridgeyille high school, the Sussex
County Interscholastic Association
Champions, will bring her strongest
team, well backed with confident roo
ters, to prove that the football crown
of the State belongs in Sussex; while
Newark, playing on a local field, and
fresh from victories outside, as well
as within the state, has the honor of
New Castle to uphold. Both teams
will battle the harder. as from pre-
season forecasts, neither one will be
a strong factor in the decision of the
coming championships in basketball
and baseball.
The Delaware Interscholastic Ath-
letic Association has been formed with
the idea of making all high school
sports absolutely clean, and helping
to bring athletic sports forward as a
valuable factor in education and a
support to the more traditional type
of school work. All students allowed
to compete in the Association contests
both preliminaries and county and
state championships, must be in good
scholastic standing according to
strict set of eligibility rules adopted
by the association at is organization
last year, and endorsed unreservedly /
at the recent meeting of the associ- |
alton.
As both Newark and Bridgeville /
have teams which are light, but spec /
dy. and play the new style of thrilling
open game as well as smashing the .
line, a close tussle is expected, and .

DODGERS LEAD IN NATIONAL
WHILE YANKS HEAD AMERICAN

New York, June 6-Interest in the
close races for leadership in the two
major baseball leagues are almost
eclipsed by that in the heavy batting
and scoring of nearly all the teams.
The American league amassed total
of 500 runs and 81 hits in % games
last week, while the National league
had total of $50 runs and 532 hits in
81 games. OF the thirty home runs
made in the younger league, u We're
pouHded out at New York, where
Babe" Ruth, the Yankee slugger,
brought his season total to 10. In the
National league eighteen circuit
smashes were made.
Brooklyn and the Cincinnati world s
champions, both with pitching staffs
going along steadily, are fighting for
first place honor in the National lea
que with the eastern team leading by
one game The New York Americans,
who have won IA of their last 16 con-
tests by terrific smuggling, today caught
up to Cleveland at the head of the
league, when the Indians broke even,
while the Yankees were pounding
Philadelphia's pitchers. The two lead
ing. teams in each league will meet in
series starting next Saturday
In the National league Pittsburgh,
Boston and New York are doing good
work with the bat, but are unsteady
in the field. Philadelphia appears
weak in scoring power.
In the American league, Boston is
fast losing ground through light hit
ting, dropping its fifth game in a row
today. Poor fielding and weak pitch
ing are keeping Philadelphia low in
the race.

SPORTING NOTES.

Iris Speaker is showing the way to
the hitters with percentage of 1897;
the Indians manager also scored the
most runs, forty one to date; a tie
exists for hitting the most base hits.
Buck Weaver and Clyde Milan each
poled fifty-nin hits. Babe Ruth, with
fifteen homers, is so far ahead, his
field cannot see the Babe for dust
Same Rice of the Senators leads in
stolen bases with seventeen steals
while Bill Snyder is at the top of the
hurlers with four Victories and no de-
feats, pitching honors really belonging
to Jim Bagby, who has a record of
nine wins and one lose.
Babe Ruth, the sensation of the mai
ors, after scoring twelve runs in nine
straight contests, was stopped by the
Senators on May 81. Ruth, by polling
three home runs off Washington's
pitchers on June ,, ran his home run
total of the year up to fifteen round
trippers, just one-half the number the
Babe needs to create a new home run
record.
Jim Bagby, after winning his first
