TO BE AWARDED
Special to The Evening Journal.

Special to The Evening Journal.
NEW CASTLE, Sept. 16.-At a
meeting of committee of residents
headed by Mayor w. Leslie Cramer,
last evening II was decided to hold

cess this year the intentions of the

custom and constitute themselves
permanent committee for that
purpose. Last year more than 75
were entered in the run. The con-
testants ranged in ages from IL to
22 years of age. y
The arrangements for last years
event were made in less than two
weeks, but the committee decided
TO make an earlier start this year,
and have already purchased three
cups and Ave medals TO be awarded.
As last year the merchants of the
city will be visited by the commit
tee for donations. in an effort to
duplicate the fete of the first annual
event, by giving each contestant
some trophy for having taken part.
The event will begin at 10 o'clock
in the morning SOFAS not to interfere
with residents wishing TO attend the
Thanksgiving Day services in the
churches. There will probably be
several classes made up Of boys of
various ages in an effort to equalize
the event.
All residents OF the city and vi
cinity will be eligible for the run
but professional runners will be
barred and college or field meet
runners Of recognized ability will be
classified so that the amateurs will
have a proper rating.
The cups and medals will be
placed on exhibition in the Delaware
street show window OF the f. z.
Bridegwater jewelry store, at Fourth
and Delaware streets. Full details
for the run will be worked out at
the several meetings of the COM
mittee.
Any eligible runner will be privi-
legged to enter the run, but his name
must be fled with Mayor Cramer,
or Howard L. Wilhelm,
vice chairman, at least Ave days be-
fore the event is run. so that a
proper classification may be made.
Beside the run. which viii take
place IN the morning. the commit
tee is contemplating the staging OF
a football GAME IN the afternoon,
between a team composed of town
boys and team composed of out
of-town boys. Candidates for the
town team will report to Howard L.
Wilhelm, vice chairman and head |
coach OF the team, within the next !
week. 1t IS hoped to be able to
place a strong representative team |
on the field this fall.

lion also expects TO organize a first

fall and all candidates for such
team will report at the next meet
ing OF the Association on Monday |

st. Thomas hopes for the cham
pionship in the Class B Division OF
the Philadelphia Baseball Assooia-
tion's championship elimination SER
les went glimmering when the
American Chain Company team OF
York, Pa. handed the locals their
second walloping OF the week at
Harlan Field. TO 1. After the first
inning the Chain gang outclassed the
Saints IN every department.
The win sent the York outfit TO
the top OF the division. displacing
the Saints. who have now finished
their round OF games and would
have copped the championship with
a win yesterday. Acco now has 10
meet Chester and should our neigh
bors triumph, a three cornered tie
viii result. on the other hand,
should the game go the other way
the Chalnmen will win the cham
pionship. There Is every indication
that this will occur.
American Chain has long been
rated as not only one OF the best
clubs IN the Philadelphia Baseball
Association but also as one of the
best teams in independent ranks to-
day. They displayed their class
thoroughly TO the native fans and
number who made the trip here
from York yesterday.
Lefty York on the mound for the
visitors. seemed 10 have a tough
time OF It in locating the plate at
the start and got himself In hot
water continually with his freedom
10 first but as they say about other
things, he improved with age,
strengthening as the game advanced.
Nitch,e worked hard all OF the way
and although nicked freely deserved
a better fate. Errors OF both va
rieties crept in and loosened up his
support.
The Chain crew hit safely In every
round and scored In every session
but two. The NTH was their big
frame when they put over three
markers. Darkness halted the tilt in
the seventh.
While the all-around team play OF
the visitors stood out the work OF
Joe Fsori. third sacker Of the in
vasers proved the feature. This
young fellow is supposed 10 be the
property Of the ST. Louis Cards and
he should go big when he reports 10
them in the spring. Flori fielded I'm
fashy style. sceoping up slow slams
10 the hot corner and tossing out
tho runners on the dead run. He also
crashed out a brace of safeties and
ran the bases in wonderful style. His
double steal with Buck Elliott as a
mate was one OF the outstanding
plays.
A slight diversion was offered in
the third when some OF the fans
started out from the first base
bieachers after Umpire Lyons. The
