We journeyed to Milton to play
game of ball last Saturday and what
started out to be a good game ended
in a farce that was very disgusting
from a spectators point of view,
score at the time was 10 in Millions
favor, last half of the 9Th inning.
The trouble started in the first half
of the sixth when catcher Griggs
of Millsboro went in to second base
with his spikes high in an effort to
make Spencer drop the ball but he
was tagged out and no attention was
paid to it until the outsiders started
to yell and from their action they
were loaded for big game. Quiet was
finally restored and the game con-
tinued only to be stopped again when
Hall went from first to third on
tumble by the first baseman. 1t was
plain to everybody except the base
umpire that the first baseman has
never tagged first yet, but the bat
ter was called out with only mild
protest and then the fun began. Mr..
Snowberger came rushing in from
the outfield and claimed that there
were spectators on the field and that
no bases could be run and that Hall
should be sent back to second. Why
did he not ask that he be sent back
to first? There was no time during
the game that the field was clear of
spectators as they roamed all over
the outfield during the game. Um-
pire in chief ruled that player was
entitled to third and Milton would
not agree to his decision and he quit
in disgust. Mr.. White then assumed
command and the inning ended with
Kelly striking out. Mr.. Whites next
move was to Danish Griggs from the
game for what he did in the previous
half inning. Something new in UNI
piring. Banishing player in this |
section and also an inning after the |
offense. We had no other catcher |
and had to either play with Griggs |
or not at all, and as Milton would |
not agree to that the game ended |
there. Mr.. Belts did advise us to |
bring in an outfielder and let him |
catch. Very kind of him to offer
such good advice, but remembering |
the 14-0 shellacking that Millsboro
gave him a couple of weeks ago, we
imagine he was glad to call it off.
We were talking to some of the bet
ter people of the town after the game
and they said they were disgusted
with the way Milton was acting on
the ball field and they say the trou-
BILE is caused by some drunks from
Ellendale coming down there and
using abusive language and slurring
the opposing team. If such be the
case we advise they employ police
protection to insure other teams a
square deal. We recall an item in
your paper by the Milton corre-
,pondent which read, "a lousy deci-
sion by lourier umpire lost them a
1all game" And they were refer
ing to a Milton man. We suppose
he umpire was afraid to return the
We understand the last
hree games have ended about as the
asst Saturdays game in Milton.
When we played them over here we
lad to change umpires during the
,ame or they would not finish the
anne. We imagine they will have a
OBJ finding an umpire that will suit
hem. Our choice is Mr.. Snowberger. !
/Millsboro defeated the strong Mar
ella Springs team here Tuesday by
he score of 6-1. Butler had the
eavy hitters of the Mardela team
t his mercy after the first inning.
