BASE BALL. - There was quite a
good game of ball played on the Mil
ord ball ground Monday afternoon,
The game was called at $50, and was
between two local mines the Bully
Boys vs. Hits and Misses. Prettyman
and Causey were the battery for the
latter team, while FOulk aud Jump
pitched and caught for Bully Boys,
The Bully Boys took the lead from
the first, and the game stood IL to in
their favor in tine 9th inning, but the
Hits and Misses put Sprogel in the
/ box then and no more runs were made
by the Bully Boys, while their cOntes-
tauts scored five on their last inning,
and the game closed HIP in favor f
the Bully Boys. The game was well
attended by both ladies and gentlemen
and was well played and very inter
esting. The second game between
these mines will probably be played
next Saturday.
On Wednesday afternoon the Solar
Tips aud Milford Club played very
fine game on the grounds at Milford.
The play was called at $50 o'clock
with Milford at bat. Pennewill made
safe hit, and in subsequent plays
scored. Solar Tips scored three times
the first being a home run by Egan on
ball clear over the fence. Iu the
gecOnd inAing Hollis made a safe hit
and got home on Satterfield's two base
hit Satterfeld got left en- third. Solar
Tips again made three runs. From
that time to the close of the game
Milford played a weak and struggling
game, while the Philadelphia boys
piled up six more runs. The score by
nings was:
Solar Tips 8 3 ? KIP
Milford i o O. ?
One base hits-Sprogel, Demares;,
Pennewill, Lowery, Cook, HOveter
and O'Donneil. Two base hits-Sat-
terheld and Cross. Home runs
Eagan 2, Koons. Struck Out-Dailey
G. Spr0gel 5. Passed balls-Ho HolsInger
l, Demarest ,. Time of game, LOO.
Umpire-HendersOn
Though it was not the general belief
that Milford would have any show of
winning, most every one was disap-
pointed to see the score run up so large.
The home team played an execrable
game, probably the worst this season,
while their opponents were the stroug-
est they have yet encountered. Eagan
and Koons seemed able to put the
leather just where they pleased, aud
when they came to bat fielder always
had the fence to climb.
It is announced that Milford will
play the final game of base ball with
lhe Glover Club, of Wilmington, on
Milford's grounds on Thursday, Aug.
sOth. The first game was played at
Slaughter Beach July 4thand was won
by Milford. The second at Whining
