High School Champions Are Royalty
Entertained

Chamber of Commerce, it was voted
by the commerce body to bear all ex.
penses of sending the club on a trip tt
Philadelphia. Coach Mullen and his
boys were the guests of the Philadel.
phia Nationals during the recent St
Louis series.
Following the deciding game of the
season, the Delaware InterscholastiC
Association banqueted the members OF
both teams at the Capitol Hotel; al
which time several after dinner
speeches were made by prominent
men including County Republican
Chairman R. X. Jones.
On a number of occasions the local
boys after winning a game were en-
tertained by the owner of the local ice
cream parlOr, B. F. Galloway, who is
a great lover of base ball and the
grandfather of Slim Ryan, the local
pitching ace, also rendered them a
treat upon their arrival home from
the Championship game.
The peak was reached last Wednes-
day evening at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. E. S. Richards, when Pop Rich
ards, himself former star of the dia-
mond, acted as toastmaster, at the
banquet given for the base ball team.
Pop Richards is the father of short
stop Richards. The guests included
the members of the team and a few
close friends, among whom the fol-
lowing were present: Rev. E. H. Col
Inns, Prof. George E. Swain, Coach
Mullen and Earl Sylvester.
The boys, both old and young, SEEM
ed to enjoy themselves fact Ryan's
control was great, and not one step
ped away from the plate. Everyone
present batted one thousand per cent
for this occasion.
Earl Sylvester responded with a
toast for the "Old Timers" but he
himself refused to be classed as a has
been. Professor Swain proved to the
bunch that he was some poet and
read his own composition "a Toast to
the Umpires." Coach Mullen gave the
boys some good advice in a few we'll
chosen remarks, as did Rev. Collins.
The high school team will continue
the base ball season during the sum-
mer months under the management of
Earl Sylvester. A few additions will
be made to the team. Hummell, well
known twirler in this section; Welch,
high school pitching ace of last sea-
son; Wilbur Porter and Harry Porter,
both first-class infielders, and pOssi-
bly, some others will be on hand to
win a job on the team. Manager Syl-
vester would be pleased to schedule
games in this section.
