would still select three of the Yanks.
Right handlers, 1 believe, are most
effective against the Giants, and
that's all the Yanks have.
Nine years ago this fall. Joe Bush
first met and beat the Giants. True,
none of those same players now re-
main and the Giants OF today are a
far better club than that of 1913.
But remember one thing. Bush Of
today Is at least 25 per cent. better
pitcher than he was then. His ex-
perience. confidence, and mastery of
a slow ball for the first time. to-
gether with as much speed as he
ever had, has established him as the
best pitcher in the American League
this year. It takes a smart pitcher
TO tame the Giants, but I firmly be-
lieve Joe Bush will accomplish It as
many times as he is given the OPP
portunity TO work.

While I would prefer the chances
OF the Yanks against the Giants to
those OF the Browns. I am not so
sure they will have that opportunity.
At the time OF this writing. the
Browns look the best bet in our
league.
VIII Overcome Giants.
Let's consider them I'm that light,
for the sake of comparison.
According to the averages to date,
they pack a stronger punch than do
the Yanks by 16 points. and are the
best scoring team in the league.
Furthermore. they will have to be.
in order to beat the Giants. as I
think it would require more runs
for them 10 win than it would for
the Yanks TO do so.
The Browns have only one de-
pendable pitcher. Shocker. and he's
done the work of half dozen so far
this season and still some distance
to travel, with small chance for a
let-down. But for all OF that con-
slider him highly and he's just the
type OF pitcher TO stop the Giants.
They don't like change of pace. and
II need be. Shocker can slow ball
them TO death.
As / have said previously. be-
lieve a Browns Giants series would
prove a more interesting. more pro-
iuctive of a greater variety of base
ball, and a more closely contested
series than a Yankee-Giant affair.
But in either Instance. I firmly be-
ieve the American League offensive
Will overcome anything the Giants

But three days remain before can
,didates for the Wilmington High

with the team picked to represent
Newark High School. The candi-
dates from High are doing their
pnightiest to make positions on the
team. Those who do make the
grade will have the satisfaction Of
oxnowing they really had to do some
thing worth while before they were
chosen. Coach Ashton on Friday
will make his final selection OF the
forty or more candidates for the
heam.
The first squad, which consists OF
more seasoned players, was given
the "old razz' for its poor playing
when practice was begun. Now.
however. the squad is showing that
training counts after all. and they
are playing circles around the other
two squads. In the last three or
four scrimmages. the first squad has
come out victorious. The contend

make even a first down.

at time. After this exercise the
order for taking an opponent was
given and one or two men received
slight bruises on their faces. How

SETTLE COUNTY
SATURDAY
New Castle, Yorklyn Meet
in Deciding Game at
Harlan Field
LEAGUE PROTESTS
FEW THIS SEASON

The final game for the champion
ship of the New Castle County
League will be played on Harlan
Field next Saturday.
The league decided TO start pla,
at o'clock. The umpire is to b.
selected through Arthur C. Davies
news editor of The Evening journal
The umpire is not TO beknown tC
either team nor any official OF the
league until he steps on the field be-
fore the game.
The decision to engage an un-
known umpire was reached after
both teams had voiced their dis
satisfaction with the officials who
umpired the first two games. York
Ign management was dissatisfied
with the work Of Umpire Russell at
New Castle in the first game and the
New Castle management was dis
satisfied with several decisions made
by Umpire MCGOWAN. at Yorklyn
last Saturday in the second game OF
the series. To date the seris stands
at a tie, each team having won a
game. The game at Harlan Field
next Saturday will be the deciding
game.
on Saturday of next week the New
Castle boys will meet the fast St.
Thomas team. If the weather does
not become too cold. II IS probable
that a series may be played as last
year, between a selected team of
Wiimington's best and an all-home
talent New Castle team. Plans TO
that end are being arranged.
One notable feature of the County
League season has been the absence
of protests. Only one real argument.
that over the Yorklyn and Marshall
ton game, when the umpire failed
to inform the captain of the Mar
shallton team of a ground rule, has
married the schedule. This failure
10. the game for the Marshallton
team, they say.
Another pleasant feature OF the
leagues season was the fact that all
clubs finished their schedules with
out failure to stand by the agree
ments made at the opening of the
league.
The fact that all teams have I'm
fshed the season with no overhang-
ing Indebtedness and with some
money to be divided among the
teams has led the promoters to go
through another season. The league
was probably the most evenly ball
anced one in this section OF the
country. with each game in doubt
until the last man was out. Even
the protestations OF the two leaders
in the final series are superficial. re-
sultant OF the hard fight ~ade by
each to land the coveted prize.
Nearly every game throughout the
playing of both halves was won by
a small margin and no team was
sufficiently superior to the other TO
feel confident of the results until
the end was reached.
Already plans are being laid for
next year. with each manager of the
league clamoring for the privilege Of
continuing in the league. 10 IS
probable two more teams will be
added next year to make It an eight
club league and that one mid-week |
game will be played in accordance |
with the desires OF nearly all man.
