MILFORD, Del, August The game
between the Milford and Dover mines

large number Of spectators yesterday

the first without having scored q run.
Milford went in and Demerest scored
on a passed ball by Magee. Then
ciphers marked the score card until the
ninth inning, when Msgee OF Dover
scored, strangely enough, on q passed
ball by Demerest. Thus each catcher
scored on the others error.
Milford team went to bat for it's half
of the ninth, the score standing to /
The first ball struck caused the
trouble. The first batter popped up a
fly. McKnat, Dover's first baseman,
was standing back of his base near the
grass line, and the ball dropped into
his hands, but he muffed it and IL
bounded 10 or - feet away towards
the fence. The batter ran and made
frat and the umpire called the ball
ssfair." This the Dover men kicked
against, and here they are backed up
by several Milford spectators. One OF
whom, Charles Little, is a manager Of
the Milford club The course the ball
took and the position occupied by Nc
Knatt when he muffvd it convinced at
least those on that side Of the ground
that il was foul" ball. Several
times during The game the decisions
had been made that they were so
glaringly in favor Of the Milford club
that this last straw broke the back Of
the Dover crowd and the manager
called the club ofT the fltld. The um
pire then gave the game to the Mil

The Apple Business of Maine,

Some interesting information on the
apple business is furnished the journal
by Isaac Berry, the well known Portland
apple merchant. MIR Berry says the ex-
tent and Importance of Names apple
crop Is something not generally realized
The apple harvest of the state is nCrea>-
ing at the rate of Il per cent. a year, an,
the Maine apple stands handling and car.
rying better than any other and is the
fayorite fruit in the markets of Europe.
The comparatively small amount of ap-
plies shipped from Portland last season.
as it appears by the table is due to
the withdrawal of the Allan and Domin-
ion steamship lines from that port Dec.
Path. Portland would rank a. the third
shipping port for apples in the United
States if it had ocean steamship facilities
through the whole shipping season. The
,ea>on begins about September LIST, and
the steamers begin touching at Portland
about the last of November, so that Port
land loses about three months of the seas
on, and in consequence fully half the APP
pies sent from Maine to Europe are
shipped BY way of Boston
For the past eight years, beginning
with the season of ls>o-sl, the average
annual shipments from the United States
and Canada have been 500, 792 bbls. The
total shipments for the eight years
to 34G.342 barrels. The
