plonship OF the State. will combat
with the 81. Thomas Club in two
games at Harlan Field. Saturday
and Monday. laurel Is now engag-
ed In a series with Dover and the
two games here with the saidts
should no doubt go long way to-
ward deciding the holder OF the
state diamond Stie for the season OF
1922.
one Of the features OF the Eastern
Shore League race for the pennant
was the great finish made by the
Delawareans The strong start made
by Parksley enabled them 10 come
through as they did and laurel with
better start might have had more
10 say as 10 which etam should cop
the title.
The outstanding star OF the Laurel
combination is a Wilmington boy.
one OF the best first saclkers and hit
ters ever produced on the local lot.
His fielding always received mention
while his hitting was many times the
feature OF the day in the entire
league He broke up a number OF
games with his extra base wallops
which included several homers. Sol
played several games with ST.
Thomas before departing for the
Strawberry" circuit.
Manager Early. who did much 10
produce the great finish OF Laurel
after he was appointed skipper OF
the crew has been one OF the leading
hurlers In the league and a star at
the hat. He received mention in
ractically every game In which ne
participated. Mannix. the left feld-
er and lead-off man OF the down
staters. Is another star and Nye, at
shortstop, Doremus at second base.
McCarron In center field and Feder-
son in right and Marvll behind the
bat, are some OF the other stars.
The two games with Laurel will be
part OF the busy campaign arranged
for the Saints to top or the busiest
season ever attempted by a local ball
club even in the minor league days.
This evening ST. Thomas will bat
tie with Chester at Chester in the
play-off OF a tie game in the Phila-
delphia Baseball Association cham
pionship elimination series. The
Saints are now at the top OF their
division with one victory and no de-
feats. tber one win being the re
suit OF the game played at Harlan
Field with Chester. The second
game with Chester resulted in a tie
and the game with the other team
in the division, America Chain o
York, was postponed on account OF
rain. Chester and tho Chain gang
played 10 a tie In their one meeting.
Hawk Hayes Is scheduled 20 take
the mound against the Chesterites
tonight.
Saints At Home Tomorrow.
The Saints next game at home
will be tomorrow evening with the
team OF Philadelphia.
The game will be played at Harlan
Field and will start at $50 o'clock.
Stonehurst Is regarded as the most
logical for the p. b. A. champion
ship in the division which includes
teams within Philadelphia. Stone
hurst has won three straight games
and has yet TO taste defeat in the
series. other clubs no doubt will
have a tough time dislodging the
West Philadelphlans. The Saints
will play a return game with Stone
hurst in Philadelphia on Friday.
The games mentioned book the
Saints solid up TO and including Mon
day. on next Tuesday they are not
10 play and no doubt
will lay of in preparation for the
hard game with American Chain at
York, Pa, on Wednesday. The Acco
is scheduled to play off
the game postponed by rain in Will
mington at Harlan Field on Friday.
IS. The Saints should be
quite busy with every clash mem
toned in the crucial class.
