ELKTON LOOKS GOOD
TO COP FIRST LEG

Elkton, represened by a compare
lively Wilmington team, has prac-
tically cinched the first half of the
/ championship in the Susquehanna
League, which comes to a close on
Saturday. The Gretna Green nine
is a full game OF its nearest con-
tender and meets the tail-ending
Darlington in the final OF the first
flight on Saturday.
Big Bill Shanner, OF Wilmington,
is the idol OF the Elkton fans. He
pitched his seventh consecutive win
last week when he blanked Elk
Mills, 7 to o. Shanner. who twirled
in the South last season and was
under optional agreement, being
signed by Umpire and Scout Bill
MCGOWAN with one of the Southern
League clubs for the 1922 cam
paign, obtained his release to twirl
for Elkton. He has a responsible
position with the Wilmington Gas
Company and figured himself better
off to retain his all-year around job
and pitch on Saturday, rather than
sojourn in the Southern minors. He
also felt that If he made good he
would attract just as much notice
from the baseball higher ups with
Elkton as we'll as with any other
club.
Much, II not all OF the success of
the apparent first half winners of
the Susquehanna League. is due to
Manager Ellis Deibert, who has
known no limit for the good of base |
ball in Elkton. He has gone into |
his own pocket for various amounts |
in recent years and has directed his
personal efforts toward the success
Of the club. Mr.. Deibert built the |
Elkton ball park at a cost of ap-
proximately $4,000.
Another man who has been a
main cog in the Elkton machine, is
Russ" Smith, one of Wilmington's
old timers, who captains the club
and IS putting up his old
time form at second base. George
Smith, who was rated as one OF
best infelders. was
playing short but in the past few
games he became too anxious in his
playing which caused errors and he
was switched TO the left garden.
His batting helped to win several
games.
Patton another Wilmington boy,
is guarding the hot corner. He Is
very popular with the fans and
his playing has been all that could
be expected
Eastern Shore League teams have
been making all kinds of offers TO
Dewey but he has turned them down
it is said and will continue on the
Elkton nine. In the second period
Of the schedule several more Will
boys will be seen in Elk
ton lineup:

causes the umpire to say safe"
instead OF out"
The underhaDd throw is largely
used by a second baseman. II is
brought into play by the shortstop
when forced TO come in fast on slow
hit balls making II necessary to let
the ball so from a crouched posi-
ton.
Likewise 1t is the salvation OF the
third sacker when, he comes in on
a slow tantalizing bunt which he
handles with one hand.
Having a general knowledge or
picture" OF the location OF the
various bases the underhaDd throw
enables the fielder TO get the ball
away quickly without strengthening
up.
Calls For Practice.
The underhand throw, like any
other acquired art, is perfected
through constant practice.
II is best to start making the
underhand throw from a stationary
position. After having acquired the
swing of the delivery. start throw
ing from a running position.
First have a ball hit to your left
and then to your right.
Incidentally. it is always easier
to receive an underhand throw
from short range than an overland
throw
Tomorrow-Is IL wise for infield-
ers TO block base runners?

that he owns a large villa with a
considerable amount of land attach

But a neighbor from whom he

buy was simply:
why should I sell to you? Ny
family is older than the Hohenzol-
lern."
That ended the negotiations In
that direction, though it is under
stood that the former ruler is still
seeking other property in the Doom
neighborhood.
The woman's refusal TO have any
dealings with the ex-Kaiser is un-
derstood to rest upon other than
strictly grounds of family pride. for
it is said. she was compelled TO sue
the Kaiser for damage to her prop
erty when he first moved to Doom.
At that time his moving vans cut
up some of the adjoining land be-
longing to this woman.
The Kaiser Is said to have been

and to have been ever more moved
by the woman's curt refusal of his
subsequent offer for her property.
