Salisbury, Nd, Sept S.-The larg
est paid crowd that ever saw a base
ball game on the Eastern Shore was
present this afternoon to see Freder-
lex beat Princess Anne in the third
game of the Maryland championship
series, Ii to 4. This was the de-
cIaration of the oldest inhabitants
from all over the Peninsula.
After the ticket sellers had total
ed up, the count showed that 2,303
persons paid their way into the
grounds The receipts amounted to
81 $3.50, which also was another
record set for the Sho' series which
is being promoted by The Sun. With
hundreds looking over the fences
and the few passes issued it is be-
ieyed that more than $500 persons

fans saw some terrific hitting by the
visitors. Everybody was roofing for
the Somerset county boys and par
tisanism was thing OF the past, de-
spite the fact that several of the
towns on the Peninsula believe tAat
they have the best clubs"
Many prominent persons were
present Salisbury never saw so
many automobiles outside Of fair
week Among those who occupied
seats in the grand stand were Mayor
W. A. Kennerly, of Salisbury, and

Figures Shattered
Salisbury t11rpa6 ont 10 more
persons than Frederick did for the
two games played at the latter place,
and only was $157.75 behind in paid
attendance for the brace of contests.
If the local grandstand had been
larger Salisbury also would more
than doubled the total paid attend
ance for Frederick. The upstate
town drew PISA persons, while the
crowd today numbered 2,303. The
receipts for the double games at
Frederick totaIed $1,991.25, against
$1,83350 for Salisbury.
Hundreds of persons were in the
park before 2 o'clock and it was then
that tickets for the grandstand were
taken off sale. The street leading
to the park was crowded with ma
chimes and it was difficult to reach
the ticket windows. The tickets not
in w. VA fIIIffE dud1y ana III
pairs, but in punches. Many hand |
some women for which the PENN
sula is noted, were present.
The Eastern Shore men, women
and children were disappointed be-
cause their pets couldn't bring home !
the bacon. The Frederick club had
one of it's batting days and all pit
cheers looked alike to it. If the team
had played the same kind of battles
that they did in Frederick the park
would have benn unable to hold the
spectators tomorrow But the loss
fer Princess Anne today is not eX-
pected to keep down the attendance
very much, in the opinion or the low
ers OF baseball in this section of the
State.
