Parkside and st. Mary's, the two |
local claimants for State grid hon
ors, are keeping themselves well oc-
cupied in the way Of training, In
preparation for the big tilt which is to
be staged on Pennsy Field tomorrow
afternoon.
Both teams have gone through this
season TO date without having their
records tainted by any local elevens.
In the case of Parkside, 1t met prac-
tically every local team, with the ex-
ception of the Cats" and was sue
cessful. having but one reverse, that
at the hands of EllSton, by score of
90. Chesrook also played Elkton
last Saturday and found it impossible
to place the ball where IL counts.
therefore the encounter ended i'm n
scoreess tie. If scores mean anything
1t can be truthfully said that the
Parkside team has combination Of
fighters.
During the early part of the season.
while ParlSside entertained the local
warriors, st. Mary's journeyed out of

test with teams of first-class rating
In their respective communities. Fort

the team, as did the Varsity A. A., of

lcounty. The cats" also accepted the
short ends of the scores after bitter
struggles with Norwood A. A. and
Riverside the latter team having been
champions of New Jersey for several
Iyears.
st. Mary's team enjoys an unusual
honor with regard to their previous
lrecord in the fact that they have not
lbeen defeated by any team in the State
lof Delaware since 1916. During the
past five years they have successfully
defended the second class title against
all comers, defeating Defiance and
