MILTON

u
pitchers battle, between Belts, for
Milton, and Tingle, for Millsboro.
The battle ragged on even terms un-
til the last inning, when Tingle
weakened and the Milton boys scOr-
ed four runs, to win the game Z to
l. The afternoon game was played
at Milton and was taken by Milton
after a hot fight down to the wire,
score 3 to 2. Milton scored first in
the second when they put across one
| run. Nenther side scored until the
seventh when the visitors scored
! two on a walk, two hits and an er-
ror. Milton tied the score in the
eighth and clinched the victory in
their half of the ninth when Hoyt
got a free pass from Tingle. The
next two batters famed but Snow
berger came through with a ringing
two bagger to left center that scor-
ed HOyt with the winning run. Law
son started in the box for Millsboro,
opposing Layton. Lawson was hit
hard but every hit, except in the sec
ond, went directly into the hands of
the fielders. He gave way to Broad
way" Jones in the seventh and Jones
got by nicely until the eighth when
Milton raped him for enough hits
to score a run. He gave way to
Tingle, who pitched in the morning
game, and the winning run was
scored off him, he being charged
with the defeat. Both games were
pippins and hard fought, but the
miserable decisions of balls and
strikes were wierd. Fortunately both
teams suffered equally from the
guesses of the umpire. The pitchers
were provoked into laughter by sew
eral calls that favored them and
when they were against them they !
called it square. They were the !
worst umpired games played in the
league since its organization.
