With the close Of the local baseball
season last week, Snow Hill fans view
with satisfaction the record of their
team. Herb Armstrong; aggregation
won 30 and lost ID games. for an
average Of .G8S, in schedule that
included few Of the weaker teams
on the Shore
In the series with the two leaders
of the Shore league. Snow Hill an
neXed -four games out Of five from
Princess Anne. and beat Cambridge on
both occasions. Pocomoke got the
jump on Snow Hill. and took three
games in row before the team from
the county seat got under way As
the series progressed, however. Snow
Hill cvencd up the series. Pocomoke
went down to defeat, 81 to in the
fourth game. and : to 6 in the sixth
game. which ended in an argument.
and va. forfeited to Snow Hill. 9 to
o.
From Crisficld. which Is considered
by many one Of the best teams on the
Shore, Snow Hill won two Of the three
games played. Delaware and Virginia
attempted TO lower the colors Of Arm
strong's team. bat both failed. Oman
cock lost -four out Of six games. Tenn
perancevillc Chincoteague and Mills
boro were overwhelmed, and Laurel
was defeated, to / and ) to 3. in the
first two encounters between the two
teams.
The John Hopkins coach gathered
together what was said to be the
hardest-htting aggregation on the
Shore. The Snow Hill outfeld was
composed Of Cutter Drury, Reds Xii
duff and Sharrctts. With Armstrong
at second, and Ike RouSsey at short.
Snow Hill boaSted OF two Of the best
professionals in this section. while the
corners of the diamond were held
down by Stan Robins and George
Keen, two Of the most Skillful college
players in the State Rous,ey, Arm
strong. Drury and Sharretts, batting
in the order named. formed a com
bination we'll calculated to worry any
pitcher. while the whole team was
noted for its consistent hitting. In
e games il made i25 hits and scored
303 runs. In only five games il
scored less than -four runs, and in only
seven ii made less than seven hits
Another feature of the local team
is remarked in the fact that il did
not pad for its big games, nor import
pitchers for important contests The
personnel Of the team rename intact
throughout practically the entire sea-
son. The pitching problem caused
Armstrong considerable worry, but
with Bergman. Who was secured from
Ccntrcyile, Kelly. Schroll and Glad
man. the hole was plugged liz, and the
pitching improved. Whitley Swinglcr
and Reds kilduif worked behind the
bat, the former doing most Of the
catching in professional style.

DON'T MEMoRIzE SPEECH.

Don't ever commit a speech to memory, says Representative F. W. Dallinger of Massachusetts. If you do when you start to deliver it a great fear will seize you. You can't have anybody prompt you, of course. That would be too ridiculous. No matter how we'll you know it there is chance of forgetting. And if you forget you are lost. You will probably not forget, will go all the way through to the end without a pebble. But you are so fearful that you will that you agonize, suffer ex- crusiatingly.

TOOK MATTER FOR GRANTED
Lawyer Hasty in Assuming That the, Court Was Listening to Aruu-
 ments of Attorney.

There was an amusing ending of 8 civil case tried in a Wyoming court. It was an appeal case and on one side was a testy lawyer and on. the other a number of inexperienced attorneys. The arguments on both sides had been heard and the case closed for judgment.
 Suddenly one of the inexperienced lawyers got up and addressed the court once more. The testy lawyer stood it for a moment, but losing patience, he also rose and addressed the court in this wise:
 "Your honor, I would beg with all respect to point out to the court that my learned friend opposite is entirely out of order in addressing the court, and if I may be permit ted to say so, the court has no right to be listening to him."
 The court, who at that time was writing, put his head out in a bel, igerent way and said: 'fMr. Smith, it is great piece of impertinence on your part to assume that the court is listening to him."

PEARLS IN MEDITERRANEAN.

The Suez canal has resulted in an unexpected increase in the potential wealth of Italy and France. It was discovered last month that the Mediterranean waters are filled with pearls of the highest quality, some of extraordinary size, as a result of a strange oyster malady which is be- ing carried westward by the Suez currents.
 The colors of the pearls range from azure to pink, but according to first specimens they are more valu- able than the average pearls found in Indian waters.
