ON THE SPORT FIELD
SPORTITORIAL


what drawback these two faults can
mean in the life of anyone, either in
sports or the life game.
Many fellow would be right up
there on the top rung of success had
these two items not have been in his
makeup. And why do they come into
a mans life. A problem this is, that
only the person so affected can an
swer. And as a rule they seem un-
willing to make any explanation even
though they know they are get
ting lower in the rut every day. They
drift along and seem contented with
the way they are living but it gener-
ally comes out they are anything but
contented.
A fellow gets job in an office or
on team and the first week he is
all pep and ginger and then-bang-
like a bubble it bursts and stands still.
1t is not always dissatisfaction with
those with whom he works or plays
but his actions help to make the en-
tire "works" know that there is some
thing wrong and many times he is
the leader for others to fall into his
ways.
A person of this nature may for a
time be popular with a certain few
but sooner or later he has no one on
his side and it is then that he sees
his mistake, but the majority of times
it is too late and he has been given
the "air."
Players of this nature have many
times had chances to make good in
major league baseball, but the ma
jority of them have failed. Others
have had just one person who hac
faith in them, and this one person
has led them on to success. In many
instances the indifference and ineffec
tiveness of the person has even turned
the one who has been helping hin
against him and then he crashes down
in the depths and there he stays.
1t seems to be in the game of life
: this indifference and neffectiveness-
and as yet the remedy has not beer
discovered
: We take a glimpse at the corner O
Main and Academy Streets ever.
t night and wonder what first-clas
athletic club would mean to Newark
On this corner every night there i
big crowd of young fellows wastin,
away their time. The writer's opin
ion is that an athletic club, a rea
organization for good fellowship
are good fellows on that corner
would take lot of these boys off tn
corner and help them spend their idl
time in a much more profitable an
enjoyable manner.
1t was proven on the Fourth G
July that an organization-financiall
backed-is needed here. The holida
in most towns is big day for atf
letic events, but here there was n
sporting event on the program an
the sport lovers Of the town had
go to Elkton or Wilmington to pl
IL in their time at their favorite sport.
u The material is here for goc
IL club and when a good club is organ
IL lied the financial backing is fort
: coming.
~ If the local ball club at the pre-
10 ent time had a strong organization
y the towns fellows at its back the
is no doubt that the second half pc
nant of the New Castle Coun
League would come here. But tn
=, backing is not there and there h
n been a difference all season.
When baseball is over comes foe
X ball and in this branch of sport the
is no doubt that Newark should pr
duce a gridiron squad that would
II second to none in the State, and t
w same goes for basketball, but su
~ teams cannot be looked for as lo1
os as the meeting place Of the YOU
s- fellows is at Main and Acader
r, Streets. Get them together and tn
W the results of organization Will tlt
-, and Newark will take her place.
