When the N a rb er t h b a se b a ll t e amjourneyed to Clifton Heights to playDrexel Hill for t he s u bu r ba n championship last Saturday, they did notgo alone. Oh, no! About 150 loyalrooters followed t h e p l ay e rs ' vans byone route or another.

Everyone was optimistic.

About 1.40 P. M. th e motor truckbe longing to George Suplee left withabout twenty men aboard. At 1.50P. M. t wo m ot or trucks w e re l oa de dwith about forty-five m en a nd womenand a merry crowd went cheerily onto u rg e t he l oc al b oy s t o v ic to ry.

Bob Gilmore will probably do th e twirlingfo r th e Narberth team, while Tanker, whopitched last Saturday's game, will be on th emound fo r Drexel Hill.,

And what's more, Gilmore is going to pitchan even better game than he pi tched lastweek-and that's going some. Bu t this youngstar has th e real stuff when it comes to pitching.
