GAMES PLAYED HERE AND EIsrwuppv

What is probably the last regular
game OF the season was played on our
home grounds yesterday with Chester
The game to-day is more of a scrub
contest played for the benefit of one of
Smyrra's best and most faithful play.
ers, The season has been one of de.
clded interest and while the defeats are
to he regretted, yet Smyrna has made
good record and at least takes some
glory tor being one of the best teams
IN the State. Had it not been for the
defeats met in Wilmington last week
Smyrna could have claimed the cham.
pionship. The enthusiasts of the town
nave enjoyed the games heartily.
Ihough many have regretted the fact
that smyrna and Dover could not come
together more, 1t is an undeniable
fact that contests between these two
towns will draw better than any other
team in the State.
Our managers are to be complimented
upon their untiring efforts in making
the season a success. They have done
their best to get the strongest teams
they could and have always taken
pride in their team as sure winners.
Next year the management hope to
start the season sooner and to be in
much better shape financially than they
were this. The team will lust come
out on expenses. The boys will depart
for their respective homes after to-day's
game.
Smyrna won last Wednesday from
the new Wilmington team easily. In

sented and were Out-classed at everv
point. This being the case, the guar.
antee was not paid and notyithstand-
ing that the receipts at the Rockford
game were levied upon the question

the game were Maguire's home run
and the heavy batting of Morelock. Nc
