Benefit Haseball Game.
The Hermitage baseball team will
play the Darlington team at the local
ball park Saturday afternoon at -i
o'clock. This game will be for the
benefit of the Camden Hospital; the
Hermitage team having agreed to
turn over to the Hospital the entire
receipts from the game. The adver
tising, selling of tickets, etc., will be
in the hands of committee of the hos
pital..
This contest will be between two of
the strongest mill teams in this sec
tion. On previous occasion Hermi
tage has defeated Darlington by :?
score of 7 to 0, but it is Understood
that both teams are strengthening
for the coming game. The season has
been most successful for the Hermit
age team, as they have lost only two \
games the entire season, one of them
being the first game played and before
their team was organized, and the
second game lost having been called
on account of rain before the game
was completed.
A most interesting game of base
ball is promised, and thuee attending
will not only contribute to a very [
worthy cause of the Camden Hospital
but will hIJso see a most interesting
and exciting game of baseball. Some
of Hermitage champion team several j
years ago will be in the line up, in
cluding Crolley, Dodgin, Munn, Sul
livan and others.
