Camden and Milford played on Fri
day afternoon in this town. Milford
won by 5 to /. Smith, Camden's
pitcher. got hit IN the eye by the ball
early in the game, and in the fifth
inning Sprogell hurt his hand.
The attendance. at Fridays game
was not so good as on Thursday; but
there was nevertheless a good audi
enee. The play was bOisterOus and
showed a marked contrast to the quiet
and gentlemanly game played with
the Wawasets. Camden has lost none
of her rudeness last season, and the
three Dover players which she bsOught
with her were even worse than their
own team; seeming to act on the prin-
ciple that every one was as great a
scalawag as they and taking cOwardly
advantage of opportunities to cripple
their opponents. II the Dover Club
is made Ofsuch material as represented
them in Fridays game, it had better
dishand; for the object of base ball is
not to develop "sluggers" and toughs,
but to show skill and knowledge of
the nationOl game and win success by
gentlemanly conduct and good honest
work. 1t is only fair 20 say that there
were exceptions in the Camden team
who, much to their credit, showed a
righteous shame at the bullying con-
duct of the rOughs with whom they
were associated. Our people were not
slow to detect aud distinguish these
gentlemen. The following is the score
by innings:
Milford, 0 0 l 2 0 0 / ks

On Wednesday afternoon last the
Old-time OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES and Mil
ford-met on the diamond on the
grounds of the Milford club in the
presence of five hundred people, who
were intensely interested in the game.
In the first inning one run for Dover
was scored by passed ball Of Rigby's.
Milford tied this in her half of the
inning by an earned run. Neither
club scored again until the fourth
inning when each made one run. The
fifth resulted in goose eggs for each
aud the play was good; but the sixth
inning was MilfOrd's Waterloo. SprO
CELL led off in muffing a high fly bal
that dropped directly into his hands
this appeared to be the signal for mis-
cradle playiHg by the entire Milford
team; for errors and poor playing fol
lowed in succession by LOwery KnOr
= and Cross, which gave to Dover fOu
runs. Milford failed to score, and TIL
seventh inning was a repetition O
the Other, and gave Dover three NOR
runs. From this time on the MilfOr'
team worked together much better
and stopped the run getting of the Wis
d itors. In the niath the Milford teal
got three runs; but the lead was to
much aud the game closed with a SCOT
f of 8 to 5 in favor of Dover. The 70
+ lowing is the summary by innings :
