DOG RESCUES BALL CLUB.
WILMINGTON, Del., Aug. 13. - A dog mascot of the Christiana Athletic club, of Wilmington, with no pedigree went to the rescue when the baseball club of that organization was stranded in a country road in a disabled automobile, near Middleton, Del., 25 miles from here. A note summoning help was tied to the dog's collar and he started on a run and did not stop until this city was reached.
The dog made a journey homeward alone over a strange road. Arriving at the clubhouse he jumped upon Joseph Mellon, vice president of the club until the official noticed the note. He read it hurriedly. Then, accompanied by the mascot, he started for the scene of the breakdown in an automobile. He reached the stranded ball players in less than three hours from the time the dog had left the scene.
The club had been to Odessa, Del., where it defeated the team of that place 7 to 4.
