The spring like weather of Satur-
day afternoon caused a number of
players to timber up their arms in a
game on the ball grounds. 1t looks
now as though Milton would again |
play the game, but some doubt is ex-
pressed as to entering the Sussex |
County League unless some plan is |
evolved whereby the teams can be |
made more equal in strength. The |
rules at present allow the larger |
towns with money to have an ad-
over the smaller towns. 1t |
IS hoped that some plan will be de- |
7ised to make the players, or a large
part of them, residents of the town |
n which the team is located. Last |
year Dagsboro had practically an en-
ire hired team, while others had
)nly few home players. Unless
some such plan is provided Milton
will play Independent base ball this
year.
