THE game of base ball between the
local team and the FELTON, club resulted
in an easy victory for the former team
From the start the heavy batsmen of the
visiting club were at the mercy OF Bur
ress. who was in the box for Milford
During the entire game but one scratch
hit was made off his delivery and twenty
one men famed out. Zearfoss supported
Burress i'll good style, and his remarkable
throwing TO bases was a feature OF the
game, it being almost impossible to stea
base on him. Smith, at first base, put
up a strong game, both i'll the field and
at the bat. Kersey, the strong pitcher
from the Magnolia club was i'll the boS
for FELTON,, but the local boys easily
gagged his curves and i'll the fifth inning
batted out four runs. 1t was plainly cyl
dent that the visiting club was no match
for the Milford team, but the tables may
be turned in to morrow's game as Eel
ton will greatly strengthen their team
especially i'll the box. The score by III
