We repeat again that every member
of the baseball team works 51a days
every week in the Caulk Laboratory,
and are not paid for playing ball. They
play ball for the sport of it.
We notice in the Evening Journal that
/ Manager Smith expects to go home with
the bacon next Saturday. We believe
that Manager Smith will get a broad
slice of Sussex ''sows' belly.
We would like to see a large crowd at
both games on Saturday, ,he Cau'k Club

We have played Dover two games eacl

Our new shortstop, John Naylor o
New Castle. viii be seen III action Sal
urdav morning against the du POnt Clu
of Wilmington He did not have
: chance at Denton u show what he coul
do in the field because they could no
hit Ed Davis. and he could not shoV
what he conld do at the bat because b
was struck out on balls. At any rate
! we think he is pretty good player.
We wonder how many letters the man
! aoer of the Denton team has receive
t from managers of visiting teams sue
as the following extracts:
From the manager of the Rldgle
, team. under date Of June y, 1914
want to thank you for the kind an
courteous treat nent that you rendere
( our bows while visiting yolr town;
From the manager of the Dover team
I under date of June 18th: 'Congrat-
lations on to.days victory. All the boy

b. not complain Of the treatment or tn
d welcome they received.
+ We have only played Two other vlsi
inc teams this season, the Harrlngte

The bovs went to Denton last Satl
dow and were handed a goose egg by II
e nnDire. 1t is an insult to well o
n C-apizad baseball team to receive an Il
d Citation to play at Denton, as It IS u
d consensus of oLinion of the Milford pc
r ,Ia who witnessed the farce on Satdrds
that Denton is undoubtedly the lea
q bosnitable of any baseball team that hi
e come to our notice. 1t is impo2llte
v sneak Of an organization after haIvir
e been their guest (?) but when they ma,
It the nerve to ask baseball teams to con I
e to Denton to play and t., have such q
a c;sions rendered, as well rs to be e
4 yected to NAV on such diamond, Y
j tbinlS If hest that Denton be left out
&c s ANY, We'll organized baseball circuit. v
! take ibis means of notifying all mana
- e T. who have the interest Of their elu
at heart to avoid playing Denton
tS row own ggouads. It would have be.
impossible for any team to have w
tir game, and we were backed up
our act Of leaving the ball field by soE
IS of the leading citizens OF Denton w
m stated it was an outrage the way
as have been treated.
