the Royal ROoters", acted as toast
master. After making an address
in which he lauded the team and in
dividual members for their sterling
play during the season, he intro
duced William H. Welch, represent
ing Mayor Stephens, who was un-
able to be present. Mr.. Welch told
the bows that the town was proud
of their achievement and that the
advertisement given Milton through
their efforts on the ball field was OF
the better class and would rebound
to the glory of old Milton in the
sports world. He stressed the fact
that Milton won the trophy and
championship hOnorably and the
fact that they went through the en-
tire league season without de-
feat was very unusual and a record
that would possibly never be re-
heated. The next speaker was Sam
uel C. Pierce, president of the lea
gue. who in a few well chosen words
Landed the Milton team for their
gentlemanly bearing on the field and
commended the bul dog tenacity
which they displayed throughout the
season. He presented to Manager

loving cup offered by the A. J. Reach
Company, to the winners of the pen
nant. with we'll wishes and praise
for the individuals of the team. Mr..
Crouch accepted the trophy present
ed and in a short talk to the play
ers complimented them for their
readiness to sink self glory for the
benefit of the whole team. DR.. Hop
kins was then introduced as one of
the old-time ball players, and he
drew a picture of the game as play
ed in his day and as played now.
r. B. Ingram, editor of the Delaware
Coast News, RehObOth, himself a
former pitcher of much ability few
years ago was introduced. He spoke
of the team work displayed by the
Milton boys and ascribed their vic
tory to this important factor. In
front of each player and guest at
the table was placed a neatly print
ed and tastily arranged menu fold
er presented by Mr.. Ingram, and
each folder was taken home by the
members of the team to be kept as
a mementO of one of the greatest
seasons the Milton team has ever
known. Weldon c. NAPLES, a for
11nn hnr nf
the team a few years ago, recalled
to the older fans present another
great team representing Milton back
in 19O1-2-3. He recalled the fight
ing spirit of that team and cited the
fact that the success of the present
team was greatly due to the fight
ing spirit that seems to prevade all
teams under the present manage
ment, by a member of that old
following menu prepared by their
team. The guests did justice to the
host and hostess, Mr.. and Mrs. Will
liam P. NAPLES.

A soccer team is being organized
at the Milton High School, under
the management and coach of Ralph
Snowberger, athletic director of the
school. This game was played here
several years ago and drew large
crowds, but was allowed to fall into
discard by later directors. Prof.
Snowberger is taking up the game
again and is asking the support of
the tOwnspeOple in securing neces-
sary equipment for the team. Sea-
son tickets to the games played here
are being offered at $1.00. each and
all persons interested in sports for
the school laddies are requested to
buy a ticket. Prof. Snowberger,
who is the Agriculture instructor,
at the school, is interested in sports
for sports sake and believes that
good healthy games will bring out
a fighting spirit and spirit of CO.
operation among the scholars. A
playing field has been laid out on
the baseball grounds and practice is
being held every evening. This is a
good thing for the boys of our
school and we urge every one to
subscribe for a season ticket.
