Wilmington High School baseball
team will play the Camden aggrega-
tion at Baynard Fled at o'clock
tomorrow afternoon. The visitors
come with a record OF seven
straight wins and they also state
that they have one OF the best base
ball squads ever to represent their
institution. No matter what their
record may be the Cherry and
White ball players intend TO halt
their winning streak.
The battery for the game to-
morrow will be Smiling" Richards
the lad who has handed in four
straight wins. and Emmy" Max
well. on the receiving end. Emmy
knows how to handle Richards and
this pair should prove a big factor
In turning the Jersey lads back.
Len Jones, star second sacker
who was accidently injured at the
Cheltenham game, is out again.
Jones was struck in the head by a
batted ball and was rushed home.
It was later learned that his injury
was not as serious as first thought.
Herb White showed some fine
form when he retired twelve OF the
opposing batsmen by the strikeout
route. He also got four hits. which
goes to show that pitchers are not
always poor batters.
This afternoon a mass meeting
was held and the old cheers were
led by Cheer Leader

The two greatest disappointment OF

event on form while doc" steel

unfortunate enough 70 trip over the

Harmer. while not the highest

Harmer's work in winning the broad
jump that made It possible for Della

the day. He won the 120 hurdles.

Dick Thatcher, premier sprinter
OF the Wilmington High School
track team, turned In one OF the
fastest hundred yards In recent
years for a Cherry and White run
ner when he did the century in 10
1-b seconds before a select crowd
yesterday afternoon at the daily
trials at Tenth street reservoir. Dick
has been working hard for the past
two weeks getting in shape for the
University OF Delaware interscho-
lastio meet Saturday at Frazer Field.
II is expected that he will set a rec
ord for the century mark as the
Delaware track Is far faster than the
one on which he has been practic-
ing.
More hope was inspired into the
Cherry and White athletes when
they read the entries in Class 2. In
Glass the following teams will
take part: Salesianum, West Cath
olic High. Friends School, Wesley
Collegiate Institute. Vineland. win
ners OF the relay race at the Penn

In looking over the entries the
Highlets must keep their eyes open
concerning the Vineland. Baltimore
and West Catholic entries as moth
ing much has been heard OF their
ability. As for the other three teams
the Cherry and White team will
have an opportunity 10 show them
what they can do, because they
could not get a meet with the two
schools this year.
Coach Ashton says that from the
way the boys have been doing In
practice they should come through
a winner in a good many events.
There Is one event that they are
not sure IN and that event is the shot
put. Both Fletcher and Kramer
have been working hard and each
one has hurled the weight for a
distance OF 86 feet which Is fair.
