Smyrna is still keeping up her good
record of ball playing and with the
season on the wane there seems to be
no abatement in interest and en-
thusiasm. The diversion is popular with
our people and the quiet hours of the
afternoon finds many of our business
men enjoying the greatest Of American
sports. The keenest rivalry seems |
to be between Dover and SMYRNA and |
many of our enthusiasts would like to
see four games a week between these
two we'll matched teams. With Mid
dletown and Milford out of the bus
mess and the announcement that Sud
lersville will disband this week, it is
understood that an effort will be made
to arrange more games with Dover for
the rest of the season.
