Sundays Schedule
/ Harrington at Frederick
/ Viola at Pennington
I Sundays results shuffled the
Mar-Del League standings with
Frederick and Harrington moving
back into a second place deadlock
as they turned in victories while
FELTON, wound up their regular sea-
son by bowling to Wyoming 16 to 6
and skidding into 4th place. Ellen
dale climbed back into 9th place
as Pennington fell to Frederica 9
to 2. Harrington kept pace with
Frederica as they nipped Viola 3
to l in one of the best games of the
afternoon. Wyoming's victory over
FELTON, kept their winning streak
intact while the setback halted a
5 game winning streak for the los
ers.
While the regular season has
ended, several makeup games still
will have much bearing on the final
standings and play-off positions.
This Sunday Frederick will be
hosts to Harrington while Viola
goes to Pennington. The contest at
Frederica is one of the most i'm
portant of the campaign for both
teams. A victory for Frederica
would give them End place with
one game remaining with Viola to
be played on the following Sunday.
Harrington still has a contest re-
naming with the penant winning
| Wyoming nine which both teams
will be out to cop. Wyoming will be
striving to go through the season
unbeaten. Should Harrington and
Frederica split in their remaining
games that will put them in a g.
way tie with q FELTON,. Both teams
will be at full strength for the all
important clash. Buddy Kimmel,
Jim POstles and Lefthander Ken
McClamrOck will be set to toe the
mound for Frederick while Harry
Barrett, Charley Riley and Jim
Cubage will be primed for Harring-
ton.
In addition to the importance of
the game another big feature is to
take place as the Frederica nine
honOrs their two veteran players,
Jim and Charley POstles. A gala
time is planned which will be
known as "Postles' Day.. Each
player will be presented with an
award. A souvenier booklet is be-
ing prepared, while efforts are be-
| ing made to secure a band. Both
players have been playing on
dOwn-state diamonds for more than
80 years. They have always been
the sparkplug of any Frederick
/ nine. This year the brilliant hurl-
| ing of Jim POstles has kept Fred
erica in the race while the work of
his battery-mate, Charley POstles,
has been dependable and came
through when needed most. Both
players are known throughout low
er Delaware for their outstanding
play over such a long span of years
and one Of the largest crowds of
the year is expected to be on hand
to honor the Frederick favOrites.
In the contest at Pennington
both teams will be out to improve
or strengthen their positions. Viola
is scrapping to nail down 5th place
while Pennington is trying to es-
cape the cellar. Sipple or Biddle
will do the Viola hurting while
Dean looms as the Pennington
choice.
