Newark post. (Newark, Del.) 1910-1969, 1922-08-30
SPORTITORIAL
COOPERATION IS SUCCESS
TIME TO ORGANIZE

Whether Newark wins the pennant
IN the second half of the New Castle
County League or not there should
be credit placed where it is deserved
and that is on those who took hold of
the reins and drove out the element
that was one of the drawbacks in the
first half of the season. Some of this
element was not eliminated, but it
was squashed until it was evident that
those who were elected to have charge
were really in charge and did not have
to listen to the dctation of anyone
else.
AT the start of the season, when it
was first mentioned that Newark
should be represented in the league
with first-class team many Of the
people of the town expressed their
opinions that the team would not be
a success and for time it looked that
way, even week or so before the
start of the second half of the season
there was talk of the team disband-
ing. But this never happened, due to
the fact that some of the men of the
town who really want to see a go
: made of the local line got their Shout
ders to the wheel and keep the ball
: rolling.
These men were confident that if
certain element was eliminated and
if the manager of the team was given
full charge, Newark could have a win
ming ball club. This was accomplished
and the results are now known to
every follower Of the team.
Newark has not won the pennant
= in the second half of the league race
!, that is true, but the club has played
= wonderful article of ball in every
-, game of the second half and has sur
prised it's most faithful followers.
Every man who has a position on
the team at the present writing is in
there fighting every minute and to
win is the first thought in every game
If the club is trailing the opposition
there is no quitting, but the players
put on an uphill fight and in a couple
of the games won recently it was this
fighting spirit that resulted in the
=" locals coming out victors.
This is the spirit that has resulted
y in Newark being out there fighting
! for the top position of the league ant
it was the elimination Of domineerint
y, spirit displayed by some persons a
y the start of the season that resulted
:, in this winning spirit being brough
=, about.
III When the Newark people decide,
ie that they should enter a club in tn
p New Castle County League it was a
" the twelfth hour. The result was
u hustle to get together a team an
u get in some real practice and the re
~ suits of the early game are too we
known to write of them here.
In a very short time football sea
son will be with US and some of tn
r. r. Young men of the town are talkin
! of organizing football team to rep
0 resent Newark on the gridiron.
0 A word to the wise should be stuff
z Gent and lesson should be the re
= suit of the organizing of the baseba
/ team. If there is going to be New
ark football team now is the tim
0 to get the material lined up and
y start made in the scheduling 9
+ (games. If this is put off until tn
last minute then the football team
F going to find that some Of the bes
/ football players of the town hav
l signed with other teams and the
y all the worth while attractions haV
