When is the Wilmington Higl
School going to get an athletic felC
of its own? This question has beer
on the minds of the students for g
long. time. The only answer 10 thi:
at present is for the students 10 be
patient. 1t wouldn't surprise many
II the school would get an inclosed
field before the close Of the present
year.
There Is no one more anxious for
the school TO get a field than is
Principle Coke. He IS working hard
and has taken the question up many
times. Maybe the Alumni could do
something for its alma mater? The
came from the contributions from
it's Alumni
There are at present six different
sports on the athletic roster at the
school; football, basketball baseball,
| hockey. track and tennis. or these
six, five are played outdoors.
Football is by far the biggest
sport at the Delaware avenue insti-
tuition. This sport OF course at
tracts more interest than any 9th
er. Tags are sold to the students
and some times on the playing field
Despite the tag sale the sport is al
way played at a financial loss.
Track has been one OF the most
heaviest losing sports on the roster
as there is no suitable place to prac-
tice and no place TO stage a dual
meet, There has never been a dual
meet in which the Highlets could
show what they can do. There are
many now at the school who have
never seen their school representa-
tives on a cinder path. II a few
dual meets were 10 be booked on the

authorities will find that It will pay
and in any case lessen the track ex-
penditures.
Lets all hope that some one will |
get busy and start something for |

Here is what the school magazine, |
'Whisp,' had TO say in one of its is
sues concerning an athletic field

MT. SALEM MEN In
THIS BALL GAME

What bids fair TO be one OF the
most interesting baseball games
played this year at Rockford Park
will come off tomorrow evening
when the married men and unmar-
ried men Of Mt. Salem Church will
meet in their annual contest. The
game last year was a hard fought
battle and was won by the unmarried
men by the score Of 2 to 4.
The married men believe that they
can reverse the verdict this time. The
opposing batteries will be whiteman
and Guest for the married men and
p. Ward and w. Ward for the un-
married men. Whiteman will be
backed up by such sterling players
as Proud, Russ Smith, Jeff Ewing.
Engleman, Workman. etc, with the
pastor Of the church on first base.
The unmarried men will have in
their lineup such stars as Kavanaurh
McVey, Carbon, B. Ward, the two
Taylors. etc.
A Mt. Salem fan has offered a prize
OF 50 to the battery which has the
most strikeouts and one OF so cents
to the player who strikes out most
frequently. 1t Is understood that the
most likely contenders for the latter
prize are the preacher and Red"
Taylor.
The game will start as near TO g.
O'Clock as possible so that seven full
innings may be played.
