as well played games took place il
Georgetown between the local cluI
and Milford, which went for thir-
teen innings and ended with a score
Of to 2 in favor OF Georgetown
Baynum pitched for Milford up to
the 18th and held his opponents to a
tie OF two runs each; but, for some
unknown reason, the Milford mana
ger saw fit to replace Baynum with
Scott for that inning, with the re-
suit, that the Georgetown boys made
the winning run; whic hcame after
Scott had passed the first man to
a base on balls, a hit and a Texas
Lacquer fly ball, which went for a
hit and won the game. There was
bitter kicking over the decision of
the play at the home plate, as the
umpire called the man safe, on the
grounds that the catch for the Mil
ford Club dropped the ball and grab
bed it out of the dirt, so the runner
was called safe.
Another ball game played on We'd
nesday of last week between the
married men and the single men, af-
fOrded a lot of fun for the spectators
as well as healthy exercise for the
players; but the married men won
by a score of to 1.
lOO Spring Lambs ON One Farm
On farm owned by Congressman
Robert q. Houston, on which his
son, John houston, is the manager.
and tenant, one hundred Spri1(
lambs have been raised this seaSof
and sold to Carey and Green, own
ers of the Georgetown Meat Market.
Half a century ago there were many
sheep grown in Sussex County. hut
for the past forty years the fiocks
are few and small; so this flock of
sheep is unusual to Sussex county
in recent years. The sale of these
100 lambs will more than equal the
wheat or corn crop produced on this
farm and comes without any great
expenditure of money, but with the
care and attention necessary to
make a success /of the Business;
which can be duplicated oh many
other farms in Sussex. Ths farm is
located near Overlook Station on
the railroad between Milton and
Lewes and it is adapted to growing,
both grain and grass.
Chautauqua closed last week at,l
Georgetown and for the first time in
many years, there was not sut11
Ncient number of guaIantOrs who
signed up to bring the entertainment
back for the next season.
