Denver Beats Lititz Twice on July Fourth Local Baseball Double
Denver defeats Lititz in both games of a July Fourth baseball doubleheader. Morning game plagued by Lititz errors. Babe Wolfskill shines, Doremus saves center, and McCloyn prevails in pitching. Afternoon sees Denver pull away with stronger hitting and better pitching from McCloud. Lititz shows late opportunity but lacks a clutch hit. Also notes an uneventful Eve in Adamstown and a rare blue flowering tree found at Brunnerville.
