Back In 1904. the American
League race wound up in a Garrison
finish. Early in June Clark Grit.
fth's New York team, then known
as the Highlanders. went into second
place and were chasing the league
leading Boston neam hard. The fight
that followed during the rest OF the
season was ono Of the most bi'ter
ever staged in the league. Early IN
August New York went into the
lead. Then they were dislodged
fought their way back and were dis
lodged again. Chicago also re NAMED
a possibility until the last week in
the race.
The teams went into the last Sc
ries almost neck and neck And
then came the Chesbro catastrophe.
Chesbro during that season was al
the peak OF his career. With a rec
cord OF 41 wins and 10 defeats FOR
the year, he had led all other Amer
lean League pitchers by a big
margin.
And with the Highlanders need.
ing two more victories to cop the
nag and Boston needing one. Grifitf
sent Chesbro in to pitch the "croo.
ciai" game.
During the first part OF the gam,
chesbro held Boston scoreless Will,
the Highlanders scored two runs IT
the NTH. But in the seventh, VII

to the plate and let in two Bostor
runners. tying the score.
Everybody frightened up then, and
Boston came to bat in the ninth
with the score still tied. Criger sin

Chesbro prepared 70 feed the mex
batter a splitter But his finge
slipped on the moist ball. the pitcl
went wild and hit the stands ans
Criger went home with the winninl
run, giving Boston the American
League championship.

he New Castle demands and II was
decided that the second game be
played at Battery Park, New Caste,

It is to be played will be decided

In explaining his Pick OF Will
mington, Givens pointed out that he
had been greatly Influenced by the
many line-ups which had been pub
lished in The Evening Journal, but
not entirely. He said that in nam
ing his men 1t was his purpose 10
keep the number down as much as
possible and that Is one reason why
only one man is named for the posi-
tions. Givens indicated that there
might have been several other men
in his lineup. but he learned from
them that they would not be able
to play.
Il will be noticed that he has two
pitchers beside Hughes. Hayes an !
Nitchie, and that he has them pick

This constituted the major portion
OF Charlie Given's chatter at the
meeting in The Evening Journal Of
fee last night to complete arrange
ment for the Pick OF Wilmington VS.
the Pick OF New Castle fracas. The
complete line-ups are published in
this issue.
One big matter OF importance de-
cided was that a three-game series
will be played. a general kick
was registered from New Castle
when they heard that there was a
possibility OF only one game being
played and that one in Wilmington.
According to Jim McDevitt who rep
resented New Castle at the meeting
he would not play the first game II a
series was not assured. Jim hcid
that as long as New Castle is as
much interested as Wilmington the
fans Of the village by the river would
have to be satisfied.
A number of calls Of the indigna-
ton variety were received at this Of
fee yesterday from several promin-
ent Castilians and business men.
Here Is a letter from Mayor W. Les
lie Cramer Of New Castle that tells
how the fans over there feel about
the matter:
Sports Editor, Evening Journal;
Dear Sir-As a baseball fan,
/ would like 10 ask II any fair
ness can be seen in the playing
OF but one game between the
two teams representing the best
in Wilmington and the best in
New Castle, and that one game
In Wilmington. My understand
ing, which is the same as that
OF everybody in New Castle, was
. that three-game series would
be played and that New Castle
would get at least one of these
games on its home field. Wheth-
er the New Castle managers
changed their minds or not
do not know, but do know that
the public demand over here is
that at least one game be played
In New Castle. / do not believe
one game is enough to decide
the supremacy between the two
picked combinations and that at
least a three game series Is nee
essary. I know the time is get
ting short. but there is still
enough left to get in the series.
/ know that the people living in
New Castle are anxious to see
their boys play at Battery Park
and think the managements Of
the Pick of Wilmington and the
Pick of New Castle should go
back TO the original arrange
ments. I do not make these sug-
gcstions in any official capacity,
but as a true follower Of the
great American game and clean
sportsmanship at all times.
Yours in sport and other
