 The ball game on the morning of.the Fourth, when Sharon defeated Salisbury by score of 1S-2 was not provocative of much enthusiasm. The game of Satur- day, when Dover was defeated 6-4, was very much more interesting, but thls team was greatly out-played by Sharon during the early part of the game. Care lessness resulting in errors, accounts for Dover's runs, as they got but four hits during the entire game. It is hoped that some teams more formidnable may visit us, that the home team may find it's mettle tested. With Forbes and Gan ger at the battery, Sharon has 8 first class nine and all to De supported by 8 big attendance at all the games. Gan gan was unable to play on Saturday and another man was missing. Mcdonald and Franks filled in and played good ball though out of practice.
