The Milton High School baseball
team defeated Georgetown High at
Georgetown on Friday afternoon by
tingham pitched the full nine in
nings and did good job of 1t. The
features of the game were the heavy
hitting of David Dutton and the
hard working catcher, Leslie Short,
for Milton. Leslie hit home run
as he arose from the dirt after slid
ing into home plate he was fiabber-
gasted to hear the umpire call him
out for not touching second base.
The usually quiet Franklin Edginton
was put out of the game for talk
ing to himself too loud. The team
as a whole showed signs of improve
ment and with little more expert
ence will give a good account OF
themselves. The appearance of the
players is disgrace to the school.
Most of the players have to play in
their street clothes, which hinders
their playing. All OF the school
teams they play are, without excep-
tion, fully uniformed and make a
good appearance, which makes the
Milton team look worse in COMPARE
son. Something should be done to
have this team Of promising players |
make a better appearance on the |
field, which will be big boost for |
Milton High School.
The Milton town team will open
the season at Milton on Saturday af-
ternoon of this week. 1t is the ambi-
tion of the management to put
winning team on the field. so come
out and give your support to your
own town team. The prize drawing
will be made between innings.
