CAMBRIDGE DEFEATS
ALL-COUNTY TEAM
Close And Exciting Game Played At
Athletic Park Yesterday After
noon. Visitors Defeated By Score
Of To 2.

In 4 very close and exciting game
of base ball yesterday afternoon at
the Athletic Park the Cambridge All
Stars defeated the All-County team
by the score of TO 2 Fast playing
on both sides featured the game and
kept The fans constantly on the alert
as an error or two coupled with q
hit or so, would easily have changed
the result Bennett for Cambridge
and Bradley for Hulock pitched
splendid ball, the former having
seven strike-outs and the latter nine
10 their credit.
The All-County. or Hurlock team,
last years champions of the Shore.
have a strong aggregation OF ball
players, while the result of yester-
days game showed that Cambridge
also has a team that has class to 1t,
and worthy of support. Many OF the
fans are anxious to see some real
base ball this season, and want 20
see a league started, including in 1t
Hurlock, fredericksburg, Easton, Sea-
ford, Salisbury and possibly POGO
moke and Ocean City. The senti-
ment seems to be for teams compos-
ed entirely of home players; no out
side players, the real, true gentle
manly sport, and it is believed that
teams of this kind would draw much
larger crowds than partly hired
players.
Cambridge and Hurlock will play
next Wednesday afternoon at Hur-
lock. The lineup yesterday was as
follows:

STATE BOARD TO SETTLE
STEPHENS CASE TONIGHT
Selection Of superintendent Report
ed As Principal Business For
Special Meeting. Albert s. Cook
Mentioned.

The meeting of the State Board
of Education, to be held in Balti-
more tonight, promises to be the
most important held by that body in
long time, for it is confidently ex-
pected that a new State Superinten-
dent of Education will be chosen to
succeed DR.. M. Bates Stephens.
1t is understood to be the feeling
of the board that the best interests
of the schools will be served by new
man as superintendent, and it is be-
lieved that Albert S. Cook, superin-
tendent of the Baltimore county
school system. Will be chosen for
the place. George H. Reavis, 1T
present assistant superintendent Of
education, also has been mentioned
for the place and has been consider
ed by the board, it is understood, but
Mr.. Cook is reported to be the choice
of most of The members.
None of the members of the State
Board would discuss the matter yes
terday, or admit that Mr.. Cook was
the choice of a majority at least, for
the place, although Dr.. Henry M.
Fitzhugh, president of the board, ad-
mitted that among the matters to be
considered at The meeting tonight
would be the SUPPLEMENTARY. DR..
Fitzhugh issued the call for the meet
ing, which he said, was to take up
the unfinished business" left over
from the last meeting.
DR.. Stephens friends have been
making a hard fight to have him re-
tanned in his own behalf, but it has
been understood generally that the
members of the board as at present
constituted, have felt that change
would be advisable. Governor Rit-
chic is said to have shared in this
view and to have expressed himself
as convinced of the wisdom OF max
ing q change.
Dr. Stephens has been Superinten-
dent of Education in the State for
more than 20 years and his friends
at the last meeting of the board Wig
orously and in force urged his re-
election
Both Mr.. Cook and Mr. Reavis
have been connected with the school
system for years. 1t is said there
was some disposition in the board to
go outside of the State for 4 new
superintendent, but this idea was
abandoned before the last meeting.

The lecture tonight will appeal
particular to business men and men
of affairs as it is generally recogniz-
ed that the industrial situation in
this country Is giving more trouble
at this time than any other single
factor in national life, being respon-
sible very largely for the high prices
and for the generally unsettled con-
ditions that exist all over the coun-
try. Lack of production is causing
greater demand than supply and
enables the dealers to profiteer right
and left and in all directions.
The lecturer tonight will discuss
the Industrial crisis in Austrilia and
tell how it was settled. and the les
sons that he brings will be well
worth hearing for Australia has lead

COUNTY AGENT DAVIS
LOSES HIS AUTOMOBILE
Caught Fire And Burned Yesterday
Afternoon Near The Washington
Street Railroad Crossing.

The automobile of County Agent
John F. Davis caught fire yesterday
afternoon about two o'clock and
burned so quickly that it was sim
ply impossible to save it. 1t is be-
lieved that the fire started through
a hole coming into the feed pipe
from the gasoline tank to the engine,
this belief being strengthened by the
fact that in less than moment af-
ter the fire was discovered it spread
over the entire car, indicating that
the gasoline was feeding the flames.
The car was a total loss.

Presented Lodge With Settee.

w. X. Macy presented to Temple
Lodge Mo. ITO A. F. & A. M. last
Thursday evening at the stated
meeting of the Lodge beautiful
cane bottom settee which was ac-
cepted by the Lodge with a rising
vote. This beautiful piece of furni--
ture was made by Mr.. Macy by hand
both the wood work and the cane
woven part. And it is of special
interest to the membership of the
Lodge because of the fact that it
was made out of board that form
erly was a part of the. old Lodge
room. At the time of the fire just
as the building fell in Mr.. Macy
noticed a walnut board that seem
ed to separate itself from the BURN
ing building and he. rescued If
from the fire and this walnut
board furnished the woodwork of
the elegant settee that now adorns
the Lodge room.
Mr.. Macy is to be highly COM
mended by the Masons for his
thoughtfulness in thus presenting
to the lodge a relic that is SO useful
and ornamental. We hope that this
relic will remain in the room as long
as the old Temple Lodge is a lodge.
