SMYRNA DEFEATED BY WILMINGTON.
The Score Was 70 to in Favor Of Brown
sons in an Easy Game.

Of all the harpoors hurled this year
the one that was thrown Wednesday
by the Brownson of Wilmington into
Smyrna was the hardest that ever hap
pened, says the Morning NetCS. The
score was 26 to 0. It could have been
hundred or more if the locals wanted
to make it so. In some innings they
were simply satisfied with one, just to
demonstrate that no goose eggs were
being chalked up against the Brown
son. The game was not even
good practice game for the locals.
They could have spent their time more
prOfitably by playing a game of knock
out and catch. The Smyrna aggrega-
tion could not field let alone bat. They
would get balls right into their hands
and then drop them, and if they did
stop anything they usually made bad
throw, except Hargrove at short, who
played nice game, as did also Lassell
at first. Bobby" Mullin made one
good stop. Stevens was on the slab
for Smyrna, and he got bumpings of
all sorts. He was raped for every
thing on and off the scorebOard, the
locals placing his balls wherever and
whenever they wanted them.
The above roasting" of the Morning
AeWS may have seemed proper from q
spectacular standpoint, but there is
some excuse for Smyrna in not having
their best men in the game. The
Morning NetOs and other Wilmington
sons broke an agreement the week be-
fore with the Smyrna team. Had the
contest come off under the above agree
ment Smyrna would doubtless have
made better showing. Manager
Cunning of the Smyrna team had made
