Delaware City, Jan. 30--Iocal base,
ball devotecs are already talking the Ole
game over preparatory to meeting called
by the secretary, William Weaver for
next Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock, IN the
fire engine hall. At this meeting the cleo
tion of officers for the coming season will
take place, as wcll as general plans made
for the local team this year.
The local team will be out for the State
championship and from present indications
arc going to have plenty of fine material
from which to build up first class team.
In former years the locals have always
PLAYED stellar ball and in addition to that,
the locals have a reputation for playing
clean baseball as a result of which many
teams try to arrange games with the locals.
A number of players have already signi-
fed their intention of wearing q Delaware
City uniform this season. George Winters,
n twirler well known in the State, will per-
form mound duty as usual and can be de
pended upon to keep the youngsters on
their toes all the time.
George Holiday, better known as
"Dewey," will cavort about the infield as
usual, probably on the initial sack,
"Dewcy" is fast on his feet, has good
whip and bats well, so that his prowcss is
also known among Delaware baseball
fans.
Frank Neeii, who can handle any posi-
ton, Will be on the Job as usual. "Neet-
fe," in addition to playing the fielding
positions, can be relied upon to do stellar
work in the box when needed. tie Is last
on the bases and can be depended upon to
smack out hit Just when 1T is needed; M,
Norhit Cook. "Mike" Ryan and "Bilf'
Morrow will be in the local lineup.
"Cookie" plays the outfeld, as does Ryan,
who also performs behind the bat. bill,
the husky third baseman, viii likely appear
In the infield in the direction of the third
sack. His arm has scared many an oppos-
ing batsman and most of them are par
ticular that their swats stay away from his
vicinity for his speed in shooting them
over to first is wicked.
"Hop" Geogban, who Is now regular
Delaware City resident, will be of much
help to the locals. This former Delaware
College southpaw twirled some fine games
in his college days several years ago and
gained some reputation as first baseman.
He will likely look after some of the twirl-
ing and may do some infield duty. HIS
stickwork is good and he can deliver some
healthy swats.
Howard Holiday, brother of ''Dew-
ev." is another worthy player. he
scrambles all over the infield, when he Is
PLAYING in the neighborhood OF short
stop and can be relied upon to keep the
visitors from driving any swats through
the short garden.
]. Kennedy Will also be in the local line
up as well as considerable other new men.
A number of players have applied for try
outs for the team and the baseball lovers
can rest assured that fast team will repre-
sent Delaware City this season.
Games are desired with Milford, Park
side, Grace, Lorraine, Middletown, Smyr-
rs and other fast teams of the State.
