CONTRACT THaowH Up

Robert L. Morrison, owner Of the pile
driver of New Castle, has declined to
complete the contract made two weeks
ago with the Kent County Levy Court
Committee, claiming the wash on the
Bombay Hook Lighthouse road was con-
siderably wider than when the contract
was made to fill it up. The Miles Dredg-
ing Company has abandoned work also
and the matter has to be deferred until
the meeting of the Kent County Levy
Court next Tuesday. The Miles Dred-
ging Company were under contract with
the Kent County Levy Court to repair
the Bombay Hook Island road leading to
the Lighthouse, and have been having
considerable trouble in constructing the
embankment, owing to the sluice race at
the upper end, which has grown to such
magnitude as to be almost impossible to
get under control.

M1DDIErowE 5. ou1rroN ..

For several weeks the patrons Of the
ball games have been urging the manage
ment of the local club to get stronger
lclubs to meet the home club, and as
there has been SO many shut outs in the
late games, they had undoubtedly be-
come somewhat tired of looking at such
contests, but the exhibition of ball that
the Quinton, N. j., base ball club put
up 'on the local grounds Wednesday, was
without question good change for
them. The Jerseymen were defeated at
Townsend the day previous, but there
was vast difference in the playing of
the club there and here. In the Town
send game they had youngster in the
box, and the Townsend club had little
trouble in solving his curves, while for
Middletown they had enc of Jerseys best
amature twirlers, Voegeding, who has
good reputation, and who is without
question fine pitcher. For while his
speedy out drops puzzled the home bats
men, but after the game had been half
played they began to find the ball, and |
finally succeeded in winning out in the
ninth inning by the score of to-.
The Quinton club is composed of players
from several of the south Jersey towns,
and their playing here on Wednesday
was equal to any exhibition played on
the home grounds this season, and both
the managers and players made good
impression on the people of our town.
For the home club Scott pitched in his
usual good form, and while the visitors
found him for hits, three OF them were
on the scratch order, and they were well
scattered. He also succeeded in making
three of the nine hits made by the home
club.
The score by innings follows:
