Milton Letter

In last weeks Chronicle lin paid
"ad'O Joseph F. Forst questioned
the truthfulness of an article APP
pearing in the Milton letter of Au-
gust 10th, as to Charles Stuchlik
loading a boat for Wildwood with
poultry, etc. Forst claims he loaded
the major portion of the cargo. Mr..
Forst has the wrong boat in mind.
On August 18th Mr. Stuchlik loaded
boat for M. Nikiel, of Wildwood.
The captains name was Varnedka.
Mr.. Forst, Davis Lingo nor l.. Pos
ties put a single item aboard this
boat. We try to investigate and
find the truthfulness of the items
given us for publication, and TINS
item is absolutely correct, for we
were at the wharf when the boat
was loaded Mr.. Stuchlik did make
two trips that week to New York
and Atlantic City, but Mr.. Forst was
not told of this for it was none of
his business. Another thing that
proves Mr.. Stuchlik is honest in
weight, ETC., is the fact that he
spends among the farmers of this
section about $4,000 dollars a month
for eggs and poultry, and if he was
dishonest in weight, ETC., would he
get the stuff? From May LIST to
July 31st he bought around $4,000
worth of produce. This can be veri-
fed at the First National Bank of
Milton. Now Mr.. Stuchlik certainly
did not eat this immense amount of
produce, so it stands to reason that
he shipped it away. The writer
claims both men as friends and has
no direct interest in their business,
and publishes from time to time
the items they give him as to their
doings, but we feel that in justice
we should make reply to Mr.. Forst
as to item published on August 10,
1928.

Milton defeated Ocean City, Md,
on Saturday in a very interesting
game. The score was 8 to 2. Mil
ton scored two runs in the first
inning and held Ocean City score
less until the sixth, when they made
one run. Neither side scored until
the eighth when the visitors tied
the score at two all. In Millions
half of the eighth they pushed one
run across and then held the sea-
shore boys runless in their half of
the ninth. "Heiny" Lynch, for Mil
ton, pitched a masterful game, al
lowing the visitors seven scattered |
hits, and with runners on base was
invincible. He was removed in the |
eighth to allow a pinch hitter to bat |
and this move won the game. Lynch, |
who is a local boy, has won every |
game he started for Milton this sea-
son and is recognized as one of the |
'martest pitchers in the eastern part |
If the county. ]. D. Lynch caught a
inc game and cut down several at
.empts to pilfer bases by the visit
)rs. Credit for saving the game is
given Shorty" Lingo, at short, when |
he leaped high in the air and spear
I'd a line drive that would have
scored at least two of the three men
IN bases. His hurried toss to Spen-
,er completed a fast double play
hat retired the side. Milton made
hree double plays at critical times
hat discouraged the visitors.
