AFFAIRS OF HARRINGTON

4 For the third time this season
!, Harrington won over Dagsboro Oh
the local diamond last Thursday
Yam" Locates went the full route
allowing six widely scattered hits
all singles. He is credited with win
ming two games and Masten the
third game. The locals faced DOnO-
way and hammered him for a col
lection of 10 hits. Zip" Locates led
with the stick getting a double and
two singles. Short batted 500 get
ting two hits out of four trips to the
plate. After the third inning Le-
Gates blanked the visitors for the
balance of the game.
There was great rejoicing in the
local baseball circles Saturday eve
ming following another game of base
ball with FELTON, in which the local
nine were again victors. This evens
the series, each having won two
games. George Winter, on the hill
for the locals was at his best and
only allowed five widely scattered
hits. Two glaring errors by Locates
and Morris allowed the visitors to
score their only runs. At the same
time the locals were hitting the Of
ferings of Thelander and DOwnes to
all corners of the lot getting twelve
hits. Lord topped the batting list
with three hits in four trys and
Hall collected three hits out of five |
trips to the plate. Thelander col /
lected two of the five hits made by |
the visitors.
The local baseball nine continued
its winning streak, making it eight
out of their last nine games when
they easily defeated EastOn, Md, on
the latter's grounds Monday after
noon. Zip" Locates had a big day
in the field and at bat. In the sew
enth after Morris singled, Hall dOu-
bled and Short followed with a
single; Locates hit one high, wide
and handsome-it sailed over the
right field fence far over the tops of
some trees beyond the fence. Ac-
,ording to natives it was the long
est hit ever made on the latter's
Easton used two pitchers ,
10 stave off defeat but the visitors ,
collected eleven hits. Masten had
little trouble holding Easton in
heck. A home run in the fifth was
almost the only extra base hit
made. Kowcamp was the leading
hitter for Easton with a double and
wo singles to his credit. WendeltOn
llso batted 500 with two hits out of
our trys. Hall, Short, Locates,
-ord and Morris all collected two
tits each. Holloway, usually heavy
iticker could only collect one single
or the afternoon.
