Slim Ryan Wins Pitehing Duel

IA an W AAo ApNAAAAe9 DNSA
Slim Ryan, pitching ace of the
Harrington High School this year
engaged in a spirited pitching duel
at Houston last week with Roy
Hummell, well known in lower Del
aware base ball circles. The control
of both pitchers was excellent. Hum
nell allowed but six widely scat
tered hits and no free passes to first
while Ryan allowed seven hits and
walked one. Nine of the visitors went
out via the strike out route. Only
four of the team were able to con-
meet safely.
Phil Marvel, former coach of the
Laurel High School was on the re-
ceiving end for Houston and the
greater part of the team was made
up of former high school players
from Laurel and Greenwood.

Hummell Wins Pitching Duel;
Brown Fans 16.
Hummell twirling in his best form
for Houston Saturday afternoon on
the local diamond, bested Brown in
a hot pitching duel. The local twirl-
er was imported and assumed the
name of Brown. Browns portslde
slants were hard to solve and though
losing the contest, he had the vis-
itors at his mercy, tanning 16. His
dazzling speed fooled the umpires
on several occasions, with the result
that Brown was credited with hav-
ing issued five passes. The visitors
first run was a gift Of Umpire Pow
ell, who called a close decision at
the plate safe, when many of the
nearby fans declared the runner was
out. Aside from all that has been
said about the game, Hummell de-
served to win because he pitched
one of the most brilliant games of
his career.

The Frcvs were childhood sweet

1T is natural to attempt to shift
