II Is not known definitely at present
lust how baseball will be conducted down
The neninu,la this year whether leagues
will be formed or whether independent
ball win be played A well-known base
ball man of the Eastern Shore who was
very much interested in the game last
year, has come forth with the idea Of
forming two leagues 10 be composed
of Delaware towns and the other towns
of the Eastern Shore, at the end oi the
season the winners in each league 10 play
off the championship. Dclaware's team
would be composed OF Seaford, Laurel,
Delmar. Milford, Mills boro and possibly
Dover The Eastern Shore would be rep
resented bv Centerville Easton, Federals-
burg, Mardella, Salisbury and Cambridge.
Each town would use only home players
or players living adjacent 70 the town IN
which they play r. this is done an organiza.-
ton Of the leagues will be affected. O.hcers
will be chosen for each league and rules
and regulations laid each team viii be
obliged to adhere 10 if they wish 10 remain
in the league. =,
There is any quaint ity Of good baseball
material in the towns named above, az was
proven last year when all home players
were used by each club. The using Of home
PLAYERS has awakened deep interest IN
the game, which had begun 70 lag because
of the fact that so many OF the towns
hired the best ball players they could Sc
cure in hopes Of being the best team on the
peninsula. Then the hiring of players
cost a heap of money, as can be attestcd
by the hackers in each Of the towns.
The teams were always IN the hole and
continually begging money because Of the
fact that the attendance would nothing
like keep up expenses. Last year each
town came out very good by using home

Defeats.

The Salcsianum Catholic High School
basketball season came 70 successiu
.Iasf last Wednesday evening, with we'll
earned victory over the Saleslanum Alum
IA bv the close score Of Sc to 2S.
As the Alumni squad, led by Capt
"CIcm" Carney, made its entrance on the
Brownson floor, the large number OF Gold
and White followers felt pang OF sorrow
for the varsity quintet, for the reminder
Of the older team was made up oi BUD

at center, and Doc Dougherty, Bib
Dougherty and Al Dougherty on the
defense. This combination completely

their time of need, and they succeeded IN
leading their older brothers during the
greater part Of the game and bv one point
al half time, which ended Is TO II, IN their
favor.
In the interrnission between halves,
Rev. Father Mahoney, faculty manager,
awarded the school letters to the mem
hers of the team. Those receiving letters
were: Captain Quinn, Walsh, Ryczek,
Seerv. Lowell, Monaghan, Buckley and
Tinnincott. In conclusion Father Mahon-
ev rendered his sincere thanks TO all Gold
and White followers who ably supported
the basketball team by witnessing the
games; the Brownson management, for
the use of it's floor, and especially Coach
Shields, through whose unceasing efforts
the team has become what 1t is. Without
anv disparagement of former teams, said
Father Mahoney, ''I consider this the best
that has ever been gotten together at
