FORT DUPONT.
Middletown 6 Townsend 0.

When the local club once gets started
right it is tough job to check them, and
in Wednesdays game the Townsend club
doubtless discovered this to be fact, and
while the game was in progress, there
was never doubt in the minds of the
Middletown rooters as to the result. For
the home club, Scott was invincible, CIV
ing the Townsend club four measly hits,
when they needed many more-but in
this game, as in the other contest, they
were kept guessing, and are still guessing,
Just how it all transpired. The writer
was among the 1000 visitors at the Phil
adelphia National ball park on Wednes-
day, and the support given Scott was
equally as good as that accorded Jack
Townsend by Shettslin's sluggers, not
having but one error TO their credit,
which was made by Taylor after hard
run.
In sizing up the infeld it must be said
it is by far the strongest Middletown ever
get together, and each and every man
played great ball on Wednesday, while
the out-field had little to do.
Myers and Bullock, the battery for
Townsend put up good game, and had
they gotten proper support the score
would have been to 0. Townsend put
up a great game in centre field for the
Appoquinimink town, accepting six
chances without an error, and two of
them cut off what looked like safe hits.
His playing was much commented on
by all the spectators.
The summary of the game follows:

day by hanging himself i'll the church

it. Shortly before noon he left the house,

had made that morning, when he stated
that he proposed to end his life before
the day was done. She only laughed at
him when he said these words. Tice
and his daughter finally made a search
in the church, where the body was found.
He had been dead three hours.

Yes, August Flower still has the largest
sale of any medicine in the civilized world.
Your mothers and grandmothers' never
thought of using anything else for Indi-
gestion or Biliousness. Doctors were
scarce, and they seldom heard of Appen-

clean out the system and stop fermenta-
ton Of undigested food, regulate the ac-
ton of the liver, stimulate the nervous
and organic action of the system, and that
is all they took when feeling dull and bad
with headaches and other aches. You
