NO. 4 GIRLS MAY
HAVE OWN TEAM

The second official baseball prac-
tice for Public School No. 4 will be
held at 2.45 o'clock Friday at
Eighteenth and Van Buren streets.
At the initial practice there was a
fine turn out There are none OF
last years varsity out although
practically all Of the second team re-
ported at the first practice, and the
situation looks very encouraging for
the huskies OF No. 4. There is some
fine material for the inheld. as was
shown last Friday and there Is no
doubt that No. 4 will have one Of
the snappiest, clever inhelds in the
league. The trouble with the out
field is that there is such an unlim-
tied source OF material that the
coach is unable TO decide and will
continue to try out the boys in their
respective positions.
The rumor OF organizing a girls
baseball team at No. 4 pleases the
girls. Any girl interested in this
team should see the physical in
structor at the school and arrange
for the first practice.

Some Stunt To Win 25
Games In Single Year

Providence National League Club In
1854. was the first hurler to pass the
thirty game mark. He won 81
games that season and lost twelve,
FOR an average OF .s34.
Up until the "nineties'' II was no
unusual feat for a pitcher 10 win
forty games, but az the same Time
they worked in many more games
than the modern pitcher. The lead
ing pitchers Of the old days hardly
ever competed IN less than so games,
some. Of them going as high as rs.
Since 1900. eighteen pitchers in the
major leagues have turned In so
games or better.
Jack Chesbro established the
modern record for winning games
in 1904 when he pitched forty-one
victories. Joe Wood made the best
mark on record in 1912 when he
won "a games for the Boston Red
sox and lost five for an average OF

ANGLES OF ANGLING
Fishermen Are Lucky
Limits Are On Fish

O-inch fish was occasion for spon-
taneous rejoicing and a manifesto
tion OF pride?
What did we know about limits?
We didn't consider that sort OF thing
a sin, did we?
Remember how we used 20 look
with awe and amazement at the
catches" the older boys got from
their honest-to-goodness seines in
the river and how their traps were
loaded with fish In the mill-pond?
Why. we even heard Of some fell
lows who got a whale OF a big
mess out OF the creek with a stick
Of dynamite.
Then the paper mill was put up
along the creek and the saw mill
over on the river finished up the
job.
No use going back there any more
for a days fishing. We have had to
look for cleaner and better stocked
streams and ponds
Those. fellow-anglers, are the rea-
sons why we have fishing licenses,
creel and size limits on our FISH to-
day.
In heavily populated centers these
laws are our salvation.

At a meeting OF baseball enthusiasts
held here last night the old Middle

ganized with new officers and direc-

sonnel.
The members OF the club made a
wise choice in electing Henry segel-
ken 10 the presidency OF the as
sociation. Segelken is an old-time
ball player and knows all the ins
and outs OF the game. When in his
prime Segelken was n pitcher OF
some note. being a terror to all the
hitters in lower Delaware.
Another important position was
filled satisfactorily when J. Carson
Segelken. a son OF the president,
was elected 70 the managership.
While Young Seq" has never had
any experience in this capacity be-
fore he has had several years ex-
perience as captain on the first team
and has beside the expert counsel
OF his father to lean upon. Seq

on the local team. being an outfeld-
er. all around inhelder. catcher and
has even done some pitching. In
