symrna Defeated at Home.
Special Correspondence Evening Journal.
DOVER, Sept. Manager Richard
sons lively Dover team went to Smyrna
yesterday and defeated the SENT
professional team of that place by a neat
margin in an interesting game. smyrna
was never Ia the game at all for seven
innings, they getting one of their two
runs scored during that time by a very
rank decision Of the umpire For the
first seven innings, Dover played IN
most errorless game. Baker, Levy,
Honey, Pearson, Mcclure and Harvey
did some beautiful hitting. Burrls,
Clark and w. Richardson made one OF
the pretliest double plays that has
been seen on the grounds ia this vicinity
for years 1t was done quick as a fash,
Ia this maDner-Clark playing third,
Burrls pitching and Richardson on FIRST,
runner occupying second, the batter hit
ball TO BuIriF, he threw and caught the
runner at third, aud Clark by ore Of his
quick throws checked the runner
at first Clark threw the ball with so
much speed that it was impossible for
the spectators to see it after 1t left
Clsrks hands until Richardson threw 1t
out TO Bnrris. The runner was struck
dumb as he thought he had tho bag for
sure
Both the Smyrna and Dover teams
played good ball in the field, but the
'sllids" welded the ash TO better adgRn-
tsge. This mskes the series tie between
these clubs-eaeh having won three
games.
In the eighth inning Smyrna scored
four runs on two safe singles, Bakers
two errors at second, aud rank decisions
on balls and strikes by the umpire. two
men getting their bases on balls Dover
did not score In their half OF the ninth
inning, 1t was getting dark and the
crowd had rushed In on the diamond,
and the smyrna people started to yell at
the players and they had about fifty
people, including boys and the players
yening al tho top Of their voices
The people were stretched all the way
from FIRST To third baee, and that is tho
xey they intended to win BY an error
OF Baker, base on balls and hit, they
secured one run, the next batter went
out on lily to A. Richardson. the next
man up made bit to left field and by a
quick throw Pearson caught the runner
that tried to score on the hit ct the
plate by five feet--the runner did not
slide and Zearfoss had the unner dead
but the umpire said safe and also said
score IL, aud that made their eighth run
When this decision was made the
manager Of the Smyi ma club rushed
over to the gate and took thu money
away from the Dover gate-k keeper
saying we are going to run this game
and we are going to have the money
TO pay our players-they had given the
60 per cent Of the gate receipts to the
/ Dover man In the seventh inning as the
| smyrna man knew that Dover was a
sure winner. To this base decision
Dover would not give in and told Smyrna
TO keep the money. While some Of the
| Dover players were leaving town some
of the smyrna kids threw brick bats at
them. jackson had to retire from the
game 10 the second inning on account OF
being hit by pitched ball Clark took
his place. Zearfoss had one Of his
fnger's hurt badly during the gsms but
/ pluckily continued to play 1t out
With the score 10 to in Dover's favor
and they had put two men out in
SmyrnR's half Of the ninth inning (bul
only got credit for one) they quit
because they we're being robbed
and it was also too dark to faish tbs
game. The smyrna people had an
nounced that they would not let Dover
win the game even II they were far II
the lead, and the Dover boys left tht
Geld with another hard earned victory
Every impartial spectator said Dover die
the right thing and many of them tol,
the Dover boys not to play smyrna any
more, as they would rob them ever
time. Score by innings:
