Harrington High with a baseball |
record OF eleven wins against three
defeats, ranks among the top not
chers in this sport for the season.
While no records are available, it
is thought they have the best record
of any high school in lower Della
ware. This city has always had
good high school nine and baseball
fans in the state do not have to turn
back the pages MANI years to refresh
their memory of that championship
high school team that carried off
state hOnOrs for four straight years.
Later the nucleus of that team play
ed Independent baseball and was ,
known as the home town team, some ,
Of the players became professionals
and played minor league ball for a
few years. They included Harvey !
Zip" Locates and George Short ,
This team will not be able to reach =
'uch heights because Coach Hawk
will have to rebuild a new team next I
,ear since Burgess, Quillen, Vogl, 4
Lord and Kitchens and Smith are
members of the graduating class. I
