innings, which seemed to put things
up in the air and the game was good
deal of farce. W. Scott was pitch
ing for Elkton and Newark managed
to score runs off of hits, owing to
errors on Elkton's part. Elkton Sc
cured hits off of Hogan, but only
scored two runs.
Meanwhile at Elk Mills the home
club was beating West End by score
of 9 to a, which gives Elk Mills a
chance to tie Elkton for second place

Elkton Jars Dover.
But for an unfortunate error by H.
Scott (the only error in the game)
and couple of fierce raw decisions
by the umpire (Which even Dover
rooters condemned) Elkton would
! have likely nosed out Dover at Dover
on Tuesday. Dover is playing a very

Bad Report on Newark.
1t is reported that Newark has de-
cided to not play the post-series games
with the club finishing second in the
series. We think this report cannot
be true, as Newark entered into the
agreement with the other clubs for
this series, to which each club contri-
buted and such withdrawal would be
such fragrant breach of faith as that
we cannot think the Newark boys will
be guilty thereof. They have seemed
lot of good, clean, fast players and
we are not prepared to credit them
with such breach of faith until the
report is further confirmed.
The postponed game of baseball be-
tween Rising Sun and Oxford will be
