DOVER, Sept 10 The Rockford base
ball team. Of Wilmington. forfeited the
game with Dover yesterday afternoon by
a score of to O. The forfeiture was
brought about by pure "baby act" on
the part OF Catcher Hinkle.
The following was the cause OF the

inning with the score to in favor
of Rockford, Higgins Oh second. Zsarfross
at the bat and A Richardson on deck,
Higgins clearly stole third AS Hinkle
was not able TO throw to third In time
60 catch him, he accused jackson, who
was coaching at third, of running in the
line Of bases from first to third and
asked that Higgins be sent back to
second claiming that Jackson pre-
vented his throwing TO third.
1t was clear 20 the mind
of Umpire Burris that jackson
was not in the line of the bases, and he
refused to send him back, whereupon
wrangle ensued bstween the captains and
the managers OF the respective teams.
Some of the Dover people. who had been

scene, and tried to kick up fight by
collaring Manager Walker and by saying
disresDectful things 60 PLAYERS OF the
visiting team. By this time a large
crowd of people had gathered on the
scene, but were soon dispersed and the
fraoasistopped by the aid OF. the police,
and Mayor Hiram Reedy.
Ezekiel r. Cooper book keeper in the
Farmers Bank, was in q line with the
base line. and he says positively that
Jackson was not running on the line OF
the bases, but WAS near, and in the
proper place for the coRcher
During the disturbance and before the
affair could be settled between the
captains. many of the visiting players
enhanced the beauty Of the baby act"
by trying to slip away from the grounds,
and were near State street when over
taken by the managers, who went after
them post haste and brought them back.
