baseball situation for the season Of

decided to release the players and plav
quits for the present. Milford was
scheduled to. play in Smyrna this af-
ternoon. Of the 30 games played Mil
ford won 20 and the record is a clean
one all the way through. The imme-
dlate cause of disorganization was the
fact that proper schedule could not
be arranged with Dover, and there is
not enough outside of Dover to SUP
