Ward Spills Beans

Ward Spills Beans
 Aaron Ward probably wishes now that he had bandaged his ears, as Ruth bandaged his arm, prior to the Wednesday game. for Aarons acoustic-racks probably received something of an uncom- plimentary nature from Huggins. his mates and the assemblage of Yankee supporters in the stands. due to his boot of Rawlings grounder in the seventh inning. This miscue paved the way for Giant win. Had Ward done his part the retirement of the side would have come without score and the battle would have been deadlocked.
 With two men out. and Mays breeding along in comfortable fashion, Rawlings, & weak sister, dumped roller Wardward. Aaron momentarily fumbled the ball and before he could recover for peg Rawlings had reached first safely. It was then that Snyder stepped up to the platter and connected for a double to center. and Rawlings cantered home with the winning tally.
 And now MT. Ward will go down in baseball history along with Fred Snodgrass, Fred Mer kle and Heinie Zim as world se- ries villains. Oddly enough. here tofore 1t has fallen to the lot of a Giant to break into the hard luck column. Snodgrass, Merkle and Zim were all Giants. and their unfortunate plays lost world series battles for the Giants.
 It's a Tong worm that has no turning, however, and this time McGraw has the pleasure of see Ing somebody else made the goat as his Giants amble towards worlds championship.
 Not Much Hope
 Even should Hoyt stem the tide today and come through with a. victory, the Yanks would still be handicapped. For the ninth and deciding game of the series Hug gins would have to ask Mays to go back on the mound with q days rest. He has no one else dependable, and really 1t looks like the submarine artist Is jo- nahed during this series. He held the Giant offensive to six hits Wednesday. 'chis should have been enough for any pitcher to win. Murderers' Bow. however, with the chief massacre artist, Babe Ruth, out of the lineup, stood silently by and failed to deliver the punch necessary for a win. The Tanks got eight hits off Douglas. while the Giants were pummellng Mays for but six.
 Douglas Winters Here.
 Many fans were in the dark as to Phil Douglas statement to the Associated Press the other day. when the Shuffler told thcS reporter to let the folks down in ! Birmingham know that he wouldS pitch and win the deciding game of the series if necessary.
 Fans were not aware of the fact that Shufflin' Phil spends his winters in the Magic City. He has been on the payroll of the Alabama Power company for the past several winters, and two winters ago suffered an attack of Appendicitis, which called for an operation. Phil was the prop erty of the Chicago Cubs at that

Why Stay Fat?
You Can Reduce

Fat women must take this injunction TO
heart if they want to be in style, for the
new summer modes will not drape over n
fat figure.
The fat has got to come off quickly, but
without harm. OF course, and this means
only one thing can be depended upon. Ex-
ercising or dieting are too slow and weak
ening, especially during hot weather. The
fat woman who wants to wear q form
clinging gown must make an immediate
trip to her druggist and get a box of
Marmola Prescription Tablets, which will
cost her about one dollar.
Taking one of these after each meal and
at bedtime should be enough to bring her
to the stage where she is losing two.
three or four pounds q week before even
the first box Is used up. II is hardly be-
lievable that such delightful results can
be obtained without harm and for such
small sum of money. but then fact Is
stranger than fiction. .r
Test the effect of these tablets by get
ting case yourself. either from the Mar
mola Co., 4612 Woodward Ave. Detroit,
Mich. or from any druggist. They are
made in exact accordance with the famous
Marmola Prescription, and consequently
cannot have any i'll effect even on the hot
test SUMMER days.

Mr.. J. Windsor Bounds
Heavy Melon Shipper

Mr. J. Windsor Bounds, democrati
candidate for County Commissioner.
is surely some water melon raiser. On
farm that he owns in Atkinson
district, known as the Chatham farm.
he has a melon patch which is a won
der for this section. Last week he
shipped vessel load in which the
were 5000 melons of the Tom Watson
variety. The entire lot averaged about
30 pounds per melon. 400 hundred Of
them were selects and weighed from
40 to 45 pounds each. This is about
half Of his crop, as he expects to ship
another cargo in the near future froIi
the same farm. That he is a success
as a melon raiser no one will deny
but we predict he will be q much
greater success as a county commis
sioncr. Let's elect him.

ROAD TO new BRIDGE
Is NOW BEING BUILT
Contractor Wetter Has Force OF
Men Grading, Making Ready
For Laying Concrete.

The new stone road connecting the
State highway on both sides of the
new Pocomoke river bridge will soon
be reality. The contractor, Mr.. ].
X. Wetter is driving away on the
work as speedily as possible and ur
less something unforeseen happens it
will not be many weeks before the
entire work is completed and the
bridge opened to the public.
Mr. Wetter and his efficient forman
have surprised the entire community
with the rapidity with which they
made the fill on this side of the
bridge. Many cubic yards Of dirt had
to be placed and a job that almcst
everyone thought it would take thirty
days to accomplish was done in about
five days. 1t was done with the great.
est of ease and proved beyond all
question of doubt that the contracr.
ors knew their business.
They are now at work on the Son.-
efSeC Slde OF tne river grazing the
new road and it is certain that most
of this work will be done surely hy
the middle of the approaching week
and then Mr.. Wetter will be in p,-
sition to go right along with the con-
crete work. From present appe"r-
ances it will be one of the pret-ie
stretches of road on the State high
way and Judging from the job that
Mr.. Wetter did on Sixth street in orr
city, the construction of the road VII
be equal to any in the State. AS soon
as the Somerset side is completed ne
will go right ahead with the Worce :
ter approach and it is safe to Say
that it will be but matter of a few
weeks before the entire job is done.

HOUSE PARTY AT
PUBLIC LANDING
Young People Enjoy Themselves At

For several years past the people

cool breezes and good bathing, but

seen a merrier crowd than the one
which spent the last week there.
Fully ten years ago the young

everyone had such a good time that
these house parties became an estah-
lished fact, first at the Point, then
later at Red Hills, and now the most
delightful spot of all-Public Land

members are gone, there is still a

CHAUTAUQUA COMES
ON SEPTEMBER 9Th
THE ATTRACTIONS THIS YEAR TO BE FAR BETTER
THAN THOSE OF LAST, SAYS MANAGEMENT

The fair is over and the next thin"
now to claim the attention of our p7o-
pie will be the Pocomoke Chautauq'l
This popular enterprise will begin on
Tucad;y, Scptcmbr the 6th and con-
tihua mt; The 18th of the month. /!
is said by those who ought to know
that the list of attractions this year
are of much higher order than the
ores Of last year and it is expect n
that the Chautauqua will be g real
treat to our people this season. 1t
will be remembered that the numbc' :
OF the program of the last years g
sion were not up to the standard arc
there was much dissatisfaction ey~
pressed during the closing hours, 80
much so that it was at one time fea'
cd that Pocomokc would not have =
Chautauqua at all this year. Or'
local committee got in touch with the
general management and we were
promised much higher class of en-
tertainments this season. In carrying
out their promise Pocomoke City peo-
pie are assured of an unusually at
tractive program from start to finish
and the Chautauqua Week will truly
be enc IF r. cat interest.
Poccmcke City is truly Chaut-.r-
QHa town. She was among the first
towns of thc shore to have u Chitl
tauqu& and it has grown in favor
each year and under the proper guild
ance she will continue her loyalty to
the commendablc enterprise. We have
a large territory to draw from and
in all previous years the people have
ibcrally to the cause. This
year, we are sure, will not be an ex-
ceptiOn to the rule and we predict
that the crowds that attend will be us
large, if not larger, than in former
years. To be sure money is littio
scarce but most of our people will find
the small sum of $3.50 with which to
have one full week OF entertainment
and especially so when they are as
surred that the program will abound

with the best artists that are to be
:ound on the platform today.
The local organization is composed
81 live, wide-awake persons and the!
ere doing their best to make this ses
sion OF the Chautauqua the best evcl
held incur town, sparing neither time
nor attention in advertising it thor
cughly and getting the people cnthu~-
cd. All of the work however, shoul,
not lie left to the committee. They
have enough to do to lock after tbs
details. Every PoccHoke City man
Woman and chld should be Chau-
tauqua booster and try to add thei'
mite in making it success This is
no time for knocking, but Il time f1l
real work.
We want to impress the matter OF
iuying tickets early upon our readers
Every year there are those who wal,
until the last minute to purchase
tAeir season tickets and the commit
tees have always done their best t.
accommodate these late comers. The
distribution of tickets is not an easy
task and we advise all persons who
expect TO buy season tickets to do &c
early. The demand this year will
surely be as large if not larger tia
ever and you will want yours so as to
use it at the opening session. Tho
saving is yours if you take advantage
of the opportunity and buy your tick
ct early. The season ticket alwc IS
saves you money.
When you are waited on by the
ticket committee be ready to toxic
your tickets so that they will not
have to make several calls on you
There are many to see and in ore,
to wind up the matter quickly it is
important that all be in readiness
when they are called upon.
Remember the dates, September tic
9Th to the 18th. The price of season
tickets is $3.50. Be sure to secure
yours, and secure it early.

OF this merchants are now busily en-
gagged in the wholesale merchandise
centers. They report that conditions
are more favorable than ever before

disc at most reasonable prices. Fewer
comments are being heard on busi-
ness depression. On the other hand
our businessmen are unusually opti
mistic looking forward to a big and
