club that might be on the road to

through the medium OF actual com
petition.
It looks as II the Tigers had the
nucleus of a great lnfield. Jones at
third and Blue at first are estab-
lished. They are real big leaguers.
Rigney has great promise at

either side, has a fine arm and will
hit pretty well.

fore they hit the long. dusty trail
for their baseball journey. The Bea-
com Club has a keen interest in the
welfare of both these husky lads
and all that goes TO make up clean
sports at the Tenth street school.
Harrington will be the first stop
that the Beacomites will make. and
from there it is planned to jump
over to Maryland. then back again
to Lewes, and so on

his boys to come out for practice.
