STENCILS BEES

Is Paul Derringer's Fifth
Straight Loss; West And
Ross Hit H0mers

CINCINNATI, Aug. 23.-P)-Old
Man Nemesis-Casey stengel and
his Boston Bees-put a hand on h
Cincinnati Reds today and the Ma
tional league leaders dropped an
other ball game, Z to 2. It was Paul
Derringer's fifth straight defeat.
The seventh-place Bees brought
the seasons record with the Reds
even again at nine victories apiece.
With Jim Tobin pitching like a
clock and Derringer and Milburn
Shoffner a trifle generous with
home run balls to Max West and
Chef Ross, the Reds didn't have a
chance against their toughest oppo-
sition of 1910.
The Bees got started in a hurry.
With two out in the first 'Bama
Rowell doubled and West and Chef
Ross singled for n run. In the
third Vests second homer in as
many days and fifth of the year
sewed the game up. Johnny Cooney
and Rowell we're on the bags.
Ernie lombard hit his 18th 1910
homer in the fourth to make h Red
fans think there was some hope but
the fine old Cincinnati practice of
leaving men stranded on the bases
already had made the fact of the
day apparent.
After the Bees had picked up two
more runs on three singles n a
double in the sixth, Ival Goodman
doubled and Mike Mccormick
singled for the Reds last score. In
the ninth they loaded the bases, but
Bill Werber, whose ninth-innlng
homer Yesterday made him a hero
of victory, popped up a little fly to
put a stop to it all.

Softball's Benefits

Pinch Hitting for Sam Raglan

With Sam Ragan's vacation about over, we are get
ting far down the batting order of pinch hitters tor this
column. And since the top of the batting order always IS
supposed to swing the big bats, you may be prepared Tor
what to expect from here on out.
This summer, with the support of certain public
spirited, sports-minded individuals and business concerns,
and the untiring efforts Of Foster Edwards, Wilmington
has been treated to night softball. For those OF US Who
have grown a year or so too old to take our cuts up at
the plate, and are now RELOCATED to the %bleachers, SOFT
ball, as the Independent and Commercial leagues play it,
makes good entertainment. The games are fast, welEplayed,
with occasional sparkling plays, and just enough miscues

They are participating in whole

Taken all in all, from both a
spectators and players pount of
view, the benefits of the innova-
ton of night softbal in Wilmington
r far reaching. The season for
1910 has just about been played
out except for the play-offs for
championships. It may be in order
to think a bit about next year.
These games have been played
at Robert Strange Park and many

Brooklyn Outfit

CHICAGO, Aug. % @ The
Brooklyn Dodgers shortstop woes
gave the Chicago Cubs an thinning
ball game today.
With Pee-Wee Reese out with a
broken foot and Manager Leo Du-
rocher on the sidelines with ailing
legs, the Brooklyns put rookie Pete
Reiser in the short-field. In the 18th
frame, with the bags loaded, Reiser
picked up Hank Leiber's easy
grounder and threw badly to the
plate, letting in the run that brought
the Cubs a 5-to-4 victory.
This was the Dodgers fifth
straight loss and was a tough set
back for Luke Hamlin, who went
the distance for the Brooklyns.

Action Taken on Tokens.
The Federation also took action
on several utility matters. It urged
that the Public Utilities Commits

attention to the fact that bus and
street car operators are permitting
too much crowding.

also urged the Alcoholic Beverage
