EASTON BEATS MILFORD
IN LEAGUE PLAY-OFF

The Easton Yankees, fourth place
winners, in the Eastern Shore Base
ban League, won the Shore champion
chip play-off last Tuesday night by
defeating Milford, pennant winners,
IN the four and deciding game of the
Play-off.
The Yankees, after lowering in and
around the cellar for most of the reg
ular season, put on drive that at one
time took them into third place. How
ever they hit losing streak and just
managed to hold onto four place. In
the semi-finals they defeated Cam
bridge in three straight games and
earned the right to play Milford who
had also defeated Centreville in like
manner. Easton won the first two
games, then dropped the next three
m a row. They then came back in
n hard way to win the final two
games and the series.

IN MEMORIAM

In loving memory of my dear faith
err, Charles L. Birmingham, who pass
ed away six months ago March 20,
1871.
saw him fading like flower,
But could not make him stay.
nursed him with tender kindness,
Until God called him away.
When the evening shades are falling,
And I am sitting all alone,
In my heart there comes a longing,
If our loved one could come home.
No one knows the silent heartaches,
Nor the grief I've had to bear;
And no one will ever be able,
To fill his vacant chair.
Sleep on, dear father,
And take thy peaceful rest,
For on thy Saviour's bosom,
You'll find eternal rest.
Sadly missed by his daughter,
GOLDIE.
