On Sunday about 1900 fans were
on hand to see Howard Ehmke,
former AS star and World Series
hero, turn back the strong Triangle
Club of Wilmington, 2 to 1, in a
thrilling IL inning game. Ehmke
twirled innings and though hit
hard was at his best in the pinches.
The only run scored by Triangle
was in the fourth inning, by virtue
of a triple by Wipp and single by
Trippe. Ehmke had two clean
singles in three times at bat. The
fans were all pleased to have this
old favorite with us and was cheer
ed at every move. He was reliev-
ed in the 8th by Sevil who pitched
mighty fine ball. He retired 8 men
on strikes and allowed one hit in
four innings. Clayton's runs were
scored by virtue of doubles by Mes
sick, Everett and singles by Cole
and Harrington. The fielding of
Mag, Everett, Messick and knight
was unbeatable. A fast double
play knight to Everett to Mag
was a life-saver for Clayton.
Palmer behind the bat for last s
innings. was a sterling performer.
Gray and Orsetti were the out
standing performers for Triangle
in the field, while Wipp and Cum
ningham were the leaders at bat.
Cole, Everett and Ehmke lead
Clayton's sluggers. Trippe pitched
a fine game for Triangle. Cum
ningham, Triangle catcher, was in
jured by a foul tip in 18th inning.

Dover Chicks" at Dover. On
Sunday one of the hardest games
of the season is expected when the
