Sallie SliverS
BY SHAKESPEARE

The Salesianum track and field
team will close It's season this after
Nom in the Catholic League classic.
The Catholic High got started a little
late on the cinder path and of
course, adding the difficulties OF a
starter they did not accomplish
what they might II things had been
different.
They say II you want 70 see a real
scholastic game see Harvard and
Yale play or Penn and Dartmouth.
but that sort OF game was exhibited
yesterday on Pennsy Field both by
the Gold and White and the Cherry
and the White.
villa Nova may not have lost a
game this season but thye will have
TO night like devil-dogs 10 hold back
the onslaught OF the local Catholic
High lads when they meet them on
Decoration Day.
Now that the Saieslanum Catholic
High has beaten the Wilmington
High twice. II rightfully claims the
title OF champion OF the foremost
high school In the State.
When the commencement exer-
cises take place on June 1s quite a
few letters will be presented 20
worthy athletes who have striven
hard 20 hold up the standards OF
the Gold and White.

nine viii go TO Wilmington on June
10 play the sallies for the second
time. This match will be STAGED
right after the villa Nova AFFAIR th'
day before.
The school as a whole. has given
unlimited support TO the baseball
team this season. Both the students
and faculty. with the tireless efforts
OF the memb bers OF the Alumni. have
striven hard to keep up the good
old Saleslanum spirit.
De Sales may close its season this
week. though the yearlings have q
few games still pending.
There was one feature in the
Salesianum-W Wilmington High game
yesterday. and that was the heady
work OF the players on both teams.
The Cherry and the White root
ers found some loud rivals in the
Gold and White boys. for the
Eighth Streeters lived up and didn't
give the avenue crowd a chance TO
get louder than them.
Though there is no cup or any
thing which might warrant the
foremost high school championship
OF the State. the Catholic High boys
claim Il by virtue Of its two de-
feats over Wilmington High.

Cabbage has not forgotten the IA
nous old song, Take me out to the
ball game. buy me some peanuts
and crackerjacks." but the only
peanuts we saw was cabbage.
The Goofey gang is all set for
that picnic. so you will never be idle
a moment. Where this crowd OF

If This Play Comes Up
HERE'S YOUR DECISION

II. with a runner or runners on
the bases, the batsman hits ny
70 the outheld. the runners on the
bases shall have the right to ad-
vance the moment the ball touches
the hands Of the fielder making the
play. Often the fly ball is juggled q
number OF times before the fielder
finally retains possession Of II. Such
Juggling, however. must be no con-
sideration relative TO the runner. II
the runner was forced TO hold his
base until the ball was finally held
felders would constantly Juggle the
ball as they ran in with It toward
the infield. That would deprive the
runner OF any protection. That is
why the rule reads that the base
runner shall have the right TO ad-
vance the moment the ball strikes
the hands Of the fielder making the
play.
When a coacher at third base
touches or holds a runner rounding
that base, and thereby physlcaily as
sists the runner in returning to third
or results in his continuing on TO the
plate, the umpire shall declare the
runner out, IL the action Of the
coacher so acts and there is no play
at the base. the umpire shall not call
the runner out because of such ac-
tion on the part OF the coacher. For
instance. II the batsman hits a fair
ball over the fence. and the coacher
at third should grab the runer or
slap him on the back. the umpire
should pay no attention to whatever
the coacher does. There is no
chance for a play when a fair ball
is batted over the fence or into a
stand, and the umpire should ignore
any act of the coacher under such
circumstances.
