An enormous crowd arrived early
in Harrington on the Fourth, and af-
ter the parade journeyed out to .he
high school grounds and took in the
first game Of a double header with
Milford. Baynum mOmentarily lost
his grip on the ball when Short
drove a long fly to left field for a
home run with the bases densely
populated with three team mates.
This was a fine lead for a pitcher to
work with and The locals breezed
along nicely playing excellent ball
until the breaks of the game went
against them. SnowbeI ger was all
set to retire the side III the seventh
on a sure double play, when the ball
took an ugly bound over his head
into left field. Again i'll the eighth
the visitors set the stage for a
squeeze play, the hitter laid down
perfect bunt which Harlow tielded
and thinking a play at first would
retire the side, played it there and
another run scored. Milford went in
to a tie for second place with Har-
rington in the Sussex County League
by winning the afternoon game at
Milford. Hummell was pitted against
Strawbridge and hOnors were about
even, each allowing six hits. The
support wobbled behind Hummell,
five errors were chalked up against
his team mates and he contributed |
one himself. Strawbridge kept his |
hits widely scattered and in only
one inning, the fourth, when Le-
Gates doubled and Short and Hoch
followed with singles-this manu-
featured one run and that was all.
