CHESWOLD.
CheswOld Baseball Team Receives Mean
Treatment at Hands of Camden Team.
Local Happenings and Personal
Mention.

Special Correspondence to the TINES.
CHEswOLD, July 29.-Apples are very
scarce in this locality and small
amount of plumbs, few baskets of
peaches, larger amount of white po-
tatoes and few crates of blackberries,
altogether perhaps a half car, consti-
tuted the shipments from here today.
Unless helped out by cantaloupes our
farmers pockets will come out slim
this year from the fruit and vegetable
line.
Mr.. Harry Ross grape vineyard is
looking fine and promises good yield.
He is laying in carriers for eight or
ten tons.
Large quantities of new wheat is
being loaded in cars here at 20 cents
per bushel.
A return game of baseball by Cam
den against Cheswold at Cheswold
last Thursday was great disappoint-
ment to the many spectators gathered
to witness a good game. The first two
innings it seemed that the home team
was outclassed. the score standing 4 to
in favor of Camden. From this time,
however, Cheswold redeemed herself
and were the gamers, during which
time Camden disputed the rulings of
Umpire W. S. Scarborough, of Ches-
| void, until he resigned in favor of Mr..
Carrow, of Camden. Continuing to
the sixth inning with Camden some
what ratified, foul which fell outside
the flag was ruled fair by Umpire Car
row, which won two home runs for the
visitors and brought a vigorous pro-
test by Cheswold. Cheswold, however,
yielded finally to Umpire Carrow's s
decision, and the game proceeded to
the seventh inning, with Cheswold at
the bat, when Camden kicked again
over ''pop fly within the diamond. "
This rumpus brought out the National
baseball regulations of both 1900 and
1901, to convince Camden their inter-
probation and the decision of the um-
pire as to this play were wrong, but
Camden being stubborn and unwilling
to make concessions the game thus
ended with score of 18 to 10 in favor
of Cheswold. This abrupt and un-
manly ending of the game was much
deplored by the spectators and also by
our home team, and we feel safe in
saying that while the present organ.
ization of the Cheswold team exists
Camden will not again be met on the
ball field. Harry Thomas, of Leipsic
wh' signed with the Cheswold team
for the season, and a fine player, ha
gone to Camden, n. j., permanently
perhaps, fact much regretted. Ches
void has no engagements for tn,
week, we are informed.
