Milton Letter

at the NJ, L. OuuICu Ou uGAL sunday
evening, June 18th at 1880 o'clock.
One of the best played games ever
pulled off in Milton was that between
Milton and Lincoln, on the local
grounds. on Saturday afternoon. Mil
ton won l to 0, in ten innings But one
error was made by either side, and
that an overthrow by Brittingham in
the tenth that allowed Milton to
score the only tally of the game. Bay
mum. who pitched for Milton, held the
Lincoln boys to four hits, striking out
eight and walking two. Brittingham
started on the mound for Lincoln and
pitched a masterful game until the 7th
when an old injury compelled him to
give way to Clark, who held the To-
Gals safe until the tenth, when two
hits and an overthrow allOyed Mccoy
to score from second. Balsley, Millions
catcher. cut down two runners at
second while Pinder for Lincoln, had
two bases stolen, both by Belts. One
of the largest crowds of the season
was ont to witness this game as Lin
coin had already beaten the locals
two games and stated in the Chron-
icle that they were bringing the bag
to take home the bacon. The bag had
9 hole in it and the bacon still re-
poses in the Milton smokehouse. They
took goose eggs home with them-but
what are eggs without bacon? The
same teams play at Lincoln on next
Saturday and stiff game is expected.
Manager Crouch wants large crowd
of local fans to go with the team and
automobiles will be at the bridge at
o'clock to take all who wish to go.
Come on, give encouragement to our
bows on the foreign field and we will
fight hard for the bacon.
