Annual competitive events will al

records established in remarkable
former performances that have gone
down in history and the average
automobile shows yearly increase
in percentage performance in the
Camp Curry, California, economy

great comment by automobile men
throughout the state of California
following the recent Yosemite event.
and among the greatest sources OF
interest was the discussion of rec
ords set during the 1920 run by the
Overland four touring car, then
practically new and untried in open
competition.
The Overland victory came after

That Is what the American League
batters have been up against fol
three or four years in the person o.
Babe Ruth.
With Ruth the hitting OF home
runs was such an easy task that he
took away some OF the premium
that fandom has always placed on
swat for the circuit.
Ruth hit so many home runs dur
ing the past three years that when
some other player made a home run
II received little more than passing
mention.

formation is nothing short OF start

opened, everyone picked Salesianum
TO give the other teams practice
games-and nothing more.
However. such was not the case.
The team galloped home to four
victories in FIVE starts And II looks
as II the Wilmington aggregation
Will win a few more contests before
Il stops.
Should Salesianum win. the VIC
tory will be a great tribute to the
Rev. Father Fourier, athletic di-
rector Of the school. This. is the
first season that Father Fourier
has coached a team in the Catholic
League. and It is needless to say
that he has been successful.
Frank Outsider"
'fSalesianum. a rank outsider, has

But when the team meets Salesi-
anum It might be greeted with a
real surprise.
Father Fourier has a great
team down in Wilmington His in
field will compare with the best In
the league. Sheehy. first; Cunning
ham. second; Gillespie. short; and
Grant, third, are an innerworks that
are class personified.
The outfield also is made up OF
speedy players. with Fahey in left.
Rovell in center and Donohue IN
right, Father Fourier has nothing
to worry about when hard-hit balls
sail into the gardens.
Burke Is playing a great game
behind the bat and Is a valuable
man on the club. His handling OF
the pitchers is brilliant and he Is a
hard hitter. Kerrigan Is pitching a
great game, and with Burke as his
handler is one Of the best In the
league.
Everyone ls awaiting the game
with Vilianova. and down in Will
mlngton the folks are sure their
team will win. II will be a great
contest and Salesianum High will
fight hard from the first to the last
inning. And II vIllanova wins the

Manager. wilckens reports that his
team is fast rounding into shape.
The Rhoads aggregation is attract
ing attention by its heavy work
with the stick. Fast base running
is also an asset in the Beltmakers
favor and these two factors on the
offensive side of the game furnish
them with a mean attack that car
ries a big threat for the opposing
team on the field.
Charlie Winthrup's Maryland Di-
vision team of the p. r. r. is one OF
the stellar lights in the Industrial
armament. The Penna. lads bid fair
TO hold their own and then some.
Wanthrup has an exceptionally
good pitching stan at his command
and this coupled with an alright in
field and three feet outer garden
men gives the railroaders a defen-
sive combination that will bear

Trump Brothers is another frst
division team which gives promise
Of championship material. The ma
chine makers have an inheld which
is on a par with any team in its class
and the outfeld gets everything
/ within running distance.
Joe Tobin Is being counted on to
do the bulk Of the twirling for the
Trumpmen. He is ably assisted on
the receiving end by Big Tom Ford
who also backstops for Defiance OF
the City League.
The Trump lads have created
quite a sensation by appearing on
the field clad in those neatly striped
athletic uniforms OF theirs with the
elephant insignia. Managers Of the
other contending teams are giving
Alexander credit for putting one
over on them in the matter Of uni
forms. Alec" II is thought prob
ably figured on the Moral" effect

Dave Zearfoss has finally gotten
his team started in the pennant race.
The Gasmen are at present lighting

but don't intend TO stay In the dark
long now that their batting stars are
beginning to shine.
Those holes which were so appar-
ent in the lightmakers bats during
their opening have been successful
ly plugged.
Shanner star hurler Of the Gas
Company is heralded as the pitching
sensation of the league. big Bill
twirled a stellar game against du-
Pont in the opener but his team
mates failed to hit consistently and
this tells the story OF his defeat.
Shanner came back in the second
game when he stepped in 10 stem
the tide OF hits which the Rhoads-
men had started.
Joe Baccino pulled on the hero |
stunt in the Rhoads fraoas. Joe was
hit on the wrist with a pitched ball |
in the fifth inning. Nevertheless |
Joe went on with game and made a |
sensational catch in left field. This |
catch finished Joe's activities for the /
day, however, as It developed later |
by examination that his right ffapper
was broken and the impact OF the
ball was enough to wrench a
tendon. Baccino will likely be out
the game for some weeks but his
berth will be filed by Matthews who
gives promise OF holding the job in
a creditable manner.
