Milford chronicle., 1937-06-04

period of IS years ago when donkeys
mules and horses were used by boil
women and men to travel about thu
/ localities of lower Delaware? How
about a game of baseball played ex
clusively by riding donkeys? That's
something else. Yet. that is what
the residents of this countyseat are
anxiously awaiting for on Friday
night, June 18th, at the Georgetown
| High School grounds. It's going tC
be a donkey game of baseball-the
game to be played by riding on don
keys, who are trained in the art OF
falling down. bucking and baking
Its a case of where every player
rides a donkey or the donkey rides
the player. The two-legged donkeys
and the four-legged donkeys make
more fun than a barrel of monkeys.
Such dynamic farce attracts hun
dreds of people from all sections OF
lower Delaware when staged IN this
countyseat.
Laughs galore are promised, and
incidentally. many spills" on the
diamond are anticipated. Who will
be the winners? Will it be the
Kiwanians or the State Police from
Stations 4 and of Sussex County? ?
The proceeds will go into the un-
derprivileged children fund to carry
on the charitable work of the George
town Kiwanians.
