ter Hester Of Wilmington spent the

Milton took two games from the
Lewes team on Saturday in the
opening of the Sussex County
League season. The morning game
was played in Milton and was won
by Milton, score 10 to l. The after
noon game, played at Lewes, was
also won by Milton. Score Milton
13, Lewes Z. In the morning game
Lynch went the entire route for
Milton, allowing the Lewes boys but
four hits and famed eleven. Pal
mer, who started for the visitors,
was hit hard and was removed in
the sixth, Raught taking his place
in the box. The afternoon game was
supposed to be a battle royal be-
tween the star left-handers, Belts
and Brittingham. The Milton boys
jumped on Brittingham in the first
inning and scored two runs, and
repeated in the third. The Milton
bats were silent in the fourth and
fifth stanzas but from then on it
was complete rout. Belts held the
Lewes team scoreless until the fifth
when he eased up and allowed two
runs. He frightened again and retir-
ed the first three batters. From then
on he took things easy and the
Lewes boys scored five more runs
during the closing sessions of the
game. The hitting nabob of the day
was Snowberger, Miltol's brilliant
second sacker, who made five hits
out of five times at bat. He accepted
seven chances without an error. Mil
ton had two players injured during
the day. Dickerson sprained an
ankle sliding into second in the
morning game and Spencer received
a severe spFain of his left ankle in
rounding first at LeWeson a long
hit. Both players will probably be
able to play in q few days. Milton
plays at Lincoln on Saturday after
noon opening the season for that
town.
