The Degree Team of Crystal
Fount Lodge No. 10 of Milford visi-
ted Chosen Friends Lodge of this
town this week and conferred the

some of whom were from Dover.
The floor work was of high order
and Degree Master George A. Swain

ner in which they confer the differ
ent degrees in Odd Fellowship.
Following the initiation several
short speeches were made by w. E.
Manlove and George A. Swain of

of Dover; w. ]. Bryan of the Fed
eralsburg Lodge, Brother Num- of
Lakeside Lodge, Detriot, Mich; and

were made on the good of the Or
der.

good fellowship.
In their first game played since
they organized under the manager
ship of Dr. Walter L. Grier and
Captain Jesse Legar. The Milford
baseball team composed mostly of
an aggregation of former baseball
stars with one or two high school
boys in the line up visited Harring-
ton Saturday afternoon and put the
brakes on Harringtons winning
streak. Milford had Collision of
Beacon College, fame on the hill
or VII tn furf1.1nA ~ oh GahAn1
circles, he was known as five inn
ing Collision and locals always man
aged to beat him when he weak |
ened. 1t was predicted he would |
not last the full nine innings Sat
urday but he seemed to get better |
as the game progressed and held |
the opposition to five well scatter |
ed hits. Hall started. on the mound |
and was relieved later in the game |
when something went wrong with |
the defensive side of the game in |
the 9th, inning when the visitors |
piled up runs. Up to that time the |
game was a beautiful one to wit |
ness but when the locals were |
with the sixth inning !
totals, they lost their fighting spirit |
and just played out the game as
matter of form.
Luke Andrews was in the linup
for the locals and usually plays an |
excellent game but along with many |
others of the team he was very er-
ratio.
With Milfords addition to the in
class of local baseball |
teams in this section the base ball |
fans should be able to see much |
good base ball.
One of the finest programs given
in sometime was held at the M. P.
Church Sunday evening. The chill
dren of the Sunday school did them
selves proud in speeches and song.
A great amount of credit must be
given the chairman, Mrs. Arnett
Potter and her assistants, Mrs. Err
nest Raughley, Mrs. A. c. Creadick,
Mrs. Baynard Smith, Mrs. J. B. Nit
chell, Mrs. Harry Hammond and Mrs.
Arley Wix, whose untiring efforts in
