BASE BALL MATCH.
The game of ball between Oar Boys,
of Wilmington, and the Seaford nine
did not take place until afternoon,
owing to the bad condition Of the
grounds. The game was called at
o'clock, with the Seaforl at the bat,
who succeeded in scoring two runs.
Our Boys made four runs in the first
inning and retired their opponents In
the second inning without a run, when
they commenced to "k;ck" against the
umpire, simply because they could not
hit Kelley, the pitcher for the Will
mington club. At this point 1t seemed
az though the game, which promised to
be interesting, was to he broken up in a
row. One of the managers of the ex-
hibition, however, was called upon to
settle the dispute, and after considerable
wrangling the game proceeded.
The trouble arose from the remarks
of an outsider, who told member of
the Seaford nine that the pitching of
Kelley, of Our Boys, was ali overland
throw, which was not allowed, and .as
rs they could not hit him from the
start, they refused TO play, until the
matter was decided by disinterested
parties. Accordingly Sandy" Brown,
of Dover, and +. W. Reeve, Of viii.
mington, were selected as judges, and
after watching the pitching OF Kelley
for several innings, they decided that
he was not violating the rules of the
game and the Seaford Boys were salts
fed, and the game was finished without
turtner trouble, the Seaford club 'om.
ing off victorious by score of 1910 II.
