The big game OF the year between
the all-star combination Of Whining
ton ball tossers and Connie Mack's
White Elephants is taking on the
aspect OF a matter Of civic interest
as his Honor the Mayor and his coll
leagues. City Council, have signifed
their intention of attending the
game in a body.
With such representation at Har-
Ian Field Saturday afternoon. the
boys of the city who will be in the
game for Wilmington will be spurred
on to greater efforts. The Mayor is
an ardent baseball fan. as he played
a rattling good game in his youth
and still keeps in touch with the
game.
Many fans have come out with the
suggestion that the Mayor throw out
the first ball. but it is the intention
OF the management, II possible. TO
have a Councilmanic battery. COM
posed Of Alex. Abrahams and Jimmy
Taylor. TO work on the first Athletic
batter. Some may laugh at this sug-
gestion, but Jimmy Taylor, who rep
resents the Fourth Ward in Council.
is rated as one OF the best catchers in
the city. and Alex. Abrahams was one
OF the best pitchers in the Semi-Pro-
fessional League. when that league
was In existence.
Several players who were given an
opportunity OF representing the city
against the big leaguers have pulled
the old stunt of trying to hold the
game up at the last minute. but as
there we're only two of them their
places were Immediately filled by
players just as good, If not better.
who were only too anxious to show
their skill against such a team.
"Old Pop" George Winters. who
will be in the lineup OF the local
team. made the crack last night that
he was still able to bat them out
against the big league boys. ana n
perusel OF the box score Sunday will
show his little base hit. II not a
couple. George was rated as one OF
the fastest men at third base when
he was not on the pitching mound.
frankie Glenn has been selected
to cover one Of the outfield positions
Glenn was the first choice. but he
had a slight Illness that he thought
would make It impossible for him to
play. but he has recovered and will
be in the game Saturday.
