Harrington High Has Excellent
RecOrd-LeGateS Tops HitterS
In former years Harrington High
has played in lower Delaware ID. l.
A. A. circles and won with ease. This
year they were transferred TO the
northern section and in the games
with Dover, Milford and Caesar Rod
ney they found very little opposition.
Dover High was able to win one
game.
Locates, the brilliant third base
man of the local nine tops his team
mates with the stick and boasts a
batting average of .523. Several
home runs and some triples were in
cluded in his base hits.
Captain Short who has topped the
list of hitters for the past two years
stands third on the list, he is also
passed by Hall, his battery mate.
Very seldom is it recorded where a
twirler proves a valuable hitter to a
team, but Hall in forty-five trips TO
the plate is credited with twenty
hits or a batting average of .444.
In an article that appeared a lew
davs ago it was said that Smyrna
boasted of six members on the team,
who hit better than 300 per cent.
The local lads can go them one bet
ter. as seven members of their team
hit above the three hundred mark.
With two teams sporting an array
of sluggers such as these, in the
three games pending for the North
ern Delaware honors, which start al
Smvrna, it is sure to be battle from
start to finish and very likely the
team getting the most breaks will
win. Several hundred local fans are
planning to go to Smyrna with the
team to cheer them to victory.
It is rumored that Captain Shorl
who graduates this year may be CIV
en- a trial with the Dover Senators
of the Eastern Shore League. Besides
being a first class backstOp, he Il
well developed lad and has always
been a wicked man with the stick
He will weigh about 100 lbs.
