MILFORD LOSES
GAME TO FELTON,
HardfOught Battle On Local Diamond
Marks First Game For New Team

Milford's new baseball club opened
the season Saturday with the strong
FELTON, team, losing a hard-fought
game 5-4. FELTON, started off with a
four run lead in the first two inn
ings, but after that, Milford tightened
up and just failed to tie score. A
rally in the sixth inning scored three
runs and threatened to put Milford
in the lead, but a fast double play
stopped the home team. Another fast
double play stopped Milford in the
second inning. The game was fea-
tured by fast fielding and good pitch
ing for each team. The local club
outhit the visitors ten to eight but
the double plays caused their down
fall.
The game was hard-fought until
the last man was out. Milford got
two men on base in the ninth, but
Killen bore down and retired the
side.
ANgood crowd saw the game and
appeared we'll satisfied with the
brand of baseball

BOAT RAMMED IN
BAYLEFT PARTLY
UNDER WATER
Federal Authorities Be-
lieve Craft Was Making
For MispiIliOn River
HIJACKERS' VICTIM
Believe Crew Attacked
And Either Killed Or
Set Adrift

A mystery of the sea-involving
smuggling, piracy - was uncovered
on Monday with the finding OF
crippled, sinking cruiser in Della
ware Bay.
The vessel was the Daisy T., bran
ded as a rum runner by Frank c.
LaughIin. chief of the customs
agents of Philadelphia. The craft
was believed to have been making
for a secret port in or near the Mis-
pillion River. 1t was about rs miles
south of the mouth of the river, and
several miles off Shore that the
sinking craft was found by the crew
of the coast guard boat from base
at Cape May.
When sighted the Daisy T. was
nearly submerged and when taken
in tow was supposed to be some de-
crepit derelict, sent to her plight in
some recent storm.
With shore reached, and dawn and
the dumping of water enabling close
inspection, the identity and charac-
ter of the boat, and the indications
of its experience, were revealed.
AS a result, search was immedi-
ately started for boat with dam
aged prov and for liferaft missing
from the Daisy T., together with six
sailors who may have been set
adrift upon it. No report had been
received by the Coast Guard of such
a raft landing or being sighted upon
the surface of the bay.
The crew is believed to have num-
bered six because that many hunks
were mussed and there was duffle-
bag of clothing at each bunk.
The Daisy T. was too fast to have
been overtaken by an ordinary boat,
it was pointed out by Mr.. Laughlin.
The only way she might have been
halted by a hijacker vessel, he said
was for the latter to lie in watt
ready to ram the side of the cruiser
with a sharp prov.
And the rum robbers who wreck
ed the Daisy T. wanted ner to sink.

TWO BASEBALL GAMES
HERE ON THE FOURTH
Newly Organized Milford Club VIII
Play fredericksburg Here

After the encouraging showing
made against the strong FELTON, nine
on Saturday, the Milford ball club
will continue it's schedule against
the fast Dover team on Saturday,
June 2S, at the Capital City.
The manager of the Milford team
was very fortunate in securing a
"double-header" with fredericksburg
for July 4, both games to be played
at Milford. The first will begin at
1O:15 in the morning, and the sec
ond at in the afternoon. Both of
these games should be fast and the
Milford fans can come to the old
park feeling confident of seeing
good baseball. fredericksburg has
met and defeated some of the best
teams in Maryland and Delaware.
Jesse Legar is ironing out the few
faults which showed in the game
against FELTON, Saturday and expects
to have a smooth playing ball team
on the field on the Fourth of July.
The team will be strengthened by
the addition of some new men who
will appear in future line-uDs. Smith
Chism, former Ohio Wesleyan star, is
expected to strengthen the outfield.
Ray Pettyiohn and Ed Walls are also
striving to make positions on the
team.
The club appreciates the support
given by the local fans in the game
with FELTON, last Saturday. Don't
forget the two big games here on the

MANY BIDDERS AT
ANTIQUE SALE
Total Amount OF Sale OF
Furniture Will Approx
mate About $4,000

Thousands of person interested in
antique furniture attended the sale
of the Holland antiques at the late
home of Joseph e. Holland on Mon
day, Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday of this week. The biggest
days proceeds was registered on
Monday when the total was about
$4,000. On Tuesday the sale ap-
proximated $4,000 and on the two
last days smaller amounts were
realized. It is believed that the sale
will amount to about 100000.
In a battle for the possession of a
Heppelwhite mahogany sideboard
between former Senator I. D. Short
and John Whitney of New York the
latter won out when he paid $4,000
for the piece. This brought the high
est price of any of the pieces of fur
niture sold. Several desks, chests Of
drawers, chairs and sewing tables
also brought high prices. In fact'
those in charge of the sale say That
everything sold at approximately the
retail price, so that dealers had Dut
very little opportunity to pick up
pieces of antiques at bargain prices.
Milford residents in many instances
bought odd pieces of furniture be-
cause of the associations and friend
ships which they will recall in the
future.
The beautiful home and grounds
will be sold at later date.

MAY HAVE NEW STATE
ARMORY In MILFORD
Several Sites Are Said To Be Con-
sidered For New Structure

1t is believed that a new State
Armory may be built in Milford in
the near future according to officers
of the National Guard. The old ar
mory here has become inadequate
and it's arrangement has become OBJ
solete for present day army affairs.
While nothing definite has yet
been determined surveys are being
made with a view of locating a new
building here. Several sites have
been contemplated as suitable places
for an armory but they are only
prospective in character.
The present armory has been Ill
use many years and has been re-
built several times until further ad-
ditions to the old building appear to
be out of order, and in keeping with
the many improvements that are be-
ing made in Milford.
National Guard officers deem 1t
proper that the town should have an
armory that is in line with the ad-
vancement of this place, especially
since other towns in the State are
far ahead of Milford in quarters for
the battery there.

unusual Importance as Milford will
now be outstanding that it is the

doors will be opened for the chill
dren of the town who are invited to
inspect the new building. This i'll

have actually seen and touched an
immense door to safety deposit
vault that weighs fifteen tons, and
only few really know how large

money can be deposited in a bank

how a progressive depository for

Some of the school teachers have
consented to accompany the chill

officials in explaining the work OF
the different departments. A visit to
the new home of the Milford Trust
Company will not only be a trip OF

LOaves of bread sold in Delaware
must weigh sixteen ounces to the
pound, unless otherwise stated on

ures for Sussex county DEGREES that
the loaves must tip his weights at
sixteen ounces or else those placing
them on the market will have to
abide by the law.
He is making rigid inspection of
all bread coming into lower Della
ware to see if the standard weight
is contained in each loaf Not only
is he weighing the lOaves from bak-
cries outside the county, but those
engaged in business in the county.
Two bakeries fell into the meshes
of the law last week when their
trucks were stopped and a test
made of the loaves. Trucks of an
Eastern Shore company and one
from Delaware were stopped. Ac-
cording to tests made, the lOaves
