Crescent Clips

There is hardly any athletic ac-
tivity in the club at present, except
the usual indoor work. The boys
are determined to make a showing
in winter sports, and are spending
the present laying plans for their
later activity.
Vice-President John Wendt takes
his place among local sport leaders
by virtue of his election recently as
president OF the Delaware Soccer
League. Jack is capable and square
as they come, and by his effort will
do much to make the sport more
popular here.
Crescent is entered in the league,
and is going to make a strong bid
for the gonfalon. Some of the best.
known players in this section are
on the club rolls. and there is a
wealth of unknown, yet promising,
material that may be utilized. Jack
Gilmour viii head the squad.
The boxers are fiocking to the
club for training, and quite a ntAn-
Der Of the fistic talent of the city
have adopted the club. Some OF
our fighting members are Georgis
Morrow, who clashes with Jimmy
Vincent in Chester next Monday, and
thought by many to be Kid Sums
conquerer; frankie Lewis. light
weight champion of the Blue Hen
confines; Kid Han, another bantam
worrying Kid Sum; Jack Brock,
well-known from his thrilling bat
ties with the best light-heavies
in the country. and other lesser
lights that may burn brightly before
the coming fstic season wanes.
Arrangements will be completed
this evening for a pinochle tourna-
ment, to begin next Monday evening.
Close TO 100 have signifed their In
