TWILIGHT BALL HAS
REVIVED INTEREST
Many Contests Have Been
Played on Local Diamonds
This Season.
BY Harris Samonisky.
Sports Editor OF Every Evening

Twilight baseball has had n wonder
ful season this year in Wilmington.
The daylight saving time has done
more for-tLc good of the national pas
time than any other single feature OF
baseball this year. More teams have
heen formed. More games have been
played. Greater interest has been
shown. More stars have been develop
ID and larger crowds have attended
the games than in any other year.
Figures of the Park Board recently
announced showed that for the first
half of this season, more permits had
been issued for baseball contests than
nil of hast season. With the same rate
continuing to the close of the season,
this means that twice as many ball
games will have taken place this year
a. last year.
An outstanding feature of the twi-
light gar IS this year IS that so much
interest has been shown by The femi-
nine players. The members of the
fair sex were no doubt considered
Yoke when they embarked on the field
ot baseball. but their work has con-
WINGED many persons. who have seen
them perform. that they are tie real
article. The girls baseball teams
started last season with the du Pont
Company teams. but the fever spread
this year until now IL has reached all
parts of the city and practically every
part of Wilmington boasts OF at least
one girls team. There is a GIRLS
Church League in which lots OF inter
est has been displayed. The Pennsyl-
Nania Railroad girls have nine
which is 10 be reckoned with. The
Press Recreation girls are out for the
feminine title of the city.
Despite reported lack of interest in
baseball, there have been some very
large crowds at ball games even this
week. a game at Second and du Pont
streets several nights ago drew over
5000 fans. other games have drawn
ss many and past weeks have seen as
many as 5000 people at baseball
contest When you stop and think
that the major league games often
have crowds no greater than this,
there can he no reason for. saying that
there is any lacking of interest in
Wilmington baseball.
The Juvenile teams have played
their. part in the diamond exercise. for
they have had more teams this year
than ever and some of the teams have
atkfAtttI NaiN-Nflt dlAtltltti-
rouragement OF the youngsters means
that in a few years there viii eA some
more stars for the leading teams of
the city, while some little youngsters
may be destined for the star role of
rome future worlds series contest.
Another outcome of the revived in
tercst in baseball is the need of ad-
hitionai diamonds for the city. There
have been many evenings when every
available lot in Wilmington and vicin- |
ity was occupied, while other teams
were anxious TO get into action, but
could not do so on account of the lack
uf a playing field. The demand fof
playing fields is likely to result in
the addition of some more diamonds
rext year and this wish is heartily
concurred in by all the baseball fans
as well as the players themselves.
