defeated the team Of the state capital by
the score Of to 7 It WAS by good
luck that they wen the game, and not by
superior ball playing This was the
FIRST game the Dover team has played on
home grounds and though anxious to
win, fate gave the winning card to the
visiting team The Dover team are in no
wise discouraged though they may be
disappointed.
The old saying that bad beginning
makes good ending" seems to be great
consolation to the Dover team and to-
days game revealed to them their weak
spots, which will be attended to before
another game The team representing
Pennington was made up Of players from
Pennington, Chester, Pa Clayton, and
there was Mr. Douglass from little

lie says part OF the team came from up
the road. and as the north-bound train
gets here few minutes before the south
bound trsin, the Pennington boys
thought it best to wait and escort the
man from nth Dakota, the one from
Clayton and the one from Chester up to
| the hotel Richardson They waited, but
as the new comers had no large bundles
which they thought could contain base
ball suits. they did not know them. They
thought they had not come and made
haste to the hotel When they reached
the hotel they found their friends
awaiting them and soon made their
acquaintance and escorted them around
town.
