Lower Delaware Talks Baseball
With the passing of the Eastern
Shore League from Delaware, since
Dover dropped out, it is very likely
that in the near future representa-
tives from Smyrna, Dover, Milford,
Seaford, Laurel, Georgetown and
Lewes will be invited to attend a
baseball meeting in Harrington with
the idea of forming an amateur
league, composed entirely of home
players or players selected within a
certain zone.
Harrington is a regular baseball
town for amateurs and has always
had large crowds in attendance. The !
Kent County Amateur League, thru |
the efforts of Harrington, was COM |
posed of teams from Woodside, Eel
ton, Mastens, Houston and Andrew
vile, and Harrington. Wilbur e.
Jacobs, local business man, do
mated a silver loving cup to the
league which was won by Andrew
Vile. The rules governing the gift
were that it must be won three
times to become permanent prop
erty. These diamond battles drew
arge crowds and each team had its
ollOwers. Financially the league
vas considered a success. Each
club was able to meet its Obliga-
ions and the umpires were paid at
he close of each game, and in no
,ase were the grounds enclosed. The
cams were to no great expense as
10 players were hired. 1t is planned
O organize an eight-club circuit to
start the season at the close of the
ligh school season. Lower Delaware +
ans will then be given an oppOr- !
unity OF seeing amateur baseball ,
Ill through the summer. This ar
icle will just be food for the fans
O think about, and if anybody
rom the towns mentioned are in
drop me a line. Signed
