Close Base Ball Season
H.,
ed this season after winning the
last game from Mardella Springs by
a score of 5 to 4, the game going IS
innings, en- Labor Day. On Satur-
clay, September 12, we played with
Millsboro, but due to the fact that
only 1-2 innings were played we
do not consider that a game, the
score being two rune to nothing in
DagsborO's favor. We wish to take
this opportunity to acknowledge
Millsboro's comment on this game,
and wish to say that it is not our
policy to criticize a ball club nor
to slur the players, because if we
can't say anything good about
club, we co not care to say any
thing, so we are going to say very
little abotu this game. We will agree
it is almost impossible for fellow
to be a player and umpire at the
same time, but to be captain and
umpire is quite different story, es-
pecially when the captain or some
other official can rush out on the
field after the umpire has rendered
his decision on play, and scare the
umpire so badly he forgets what de-
cision he has rendered, and then
reverses the decision, sOf course we
do not find fault with the umpire
for this, because when there is a
umpire from your home town, and
he has been working at it all sum-
mer for other towns, is told by the
officials of the local club that he is
not wanted to umpire this game be-
tween Millsboro and Dagsboro, that
he can't satisfy his home club, then
you can hardly expect an outsider
to satisfy them. We may be called {
a gutter by some people, but when
we get tangled up with club that
plays certain brand of base ball,
then we had rather quit than to go s
on and play as some clubs do. Take
the base ball career of the two
towns back for a period of ten to {
fifteen years up to the present time
and we will leave it to the reader
o draw his own conclusions as to
which club has played the clean /
est type of base ball. Tingle, the :
star pitcher for Millsboro, was "pie'" 5
or Dagsboro as the local boys were t
hitting him all over the field, while
Gray of Dagsboro, who has done :
very little pitching this year sure $
lid have the boys from Millsboro !
'buffaloed.' :
