down in defeat.
Pocomoke Il; Tempetanceville ).
On Saturday the TemperanccYile
club again came to Pocomoke in an
tndeavor to even up with our team
for the defeat it sustained on the dat
previous. 1t seems, however, that on
this day Pocomoke was at her best
and from all appearances Temper
anceville was at her worst. AT least
this would be the conclusion when the
score is taken into consideration. II
was really no game at al the odds
were so great. The result was a one
sided score of 81 to in favor of Po-
ccmoke.
POcOmoke 5; Belle Haven 2.
Pocomoke won its eighth consecu-
tive game on Monday at Belle Haven,
Va, defeating the team of that place
in a score Of to 2. Pocomoke score
four runs in the first inning on two
hits, walk and two errors and added
another run in the eighth on doubles
b! Owens and Jones. Belle Haven
scored both of its runs in the third
OF three singles and two errors by
tie visitors. Pitching honors were
;bout even. but Boylan received bet
ter support. The game was greatly
enjoyed and large number of per-
sons witnessed it.
Crisfield 8; POcOmOke 5.
Pocomoke suffered from overconfi-
dcnce on Tuesday, losing it's first
game in nine starts, Crisfield VIM
Eing, 0 to 5, before a large crowd.
The visitors got away to a flying
start, scoring three runs in the FIRST
inning, and were never headed. With

mok's new grounds, featured.
PocOmOle 10; Parksley 2.
On Wednesday our boys went to
Farksley and crossed bats with the
fast team of that thriving town
Parksley has one of the strongest
teams on the shore and they general
ly play good ball. With all of this
our boys were victorious over them
on Wednesday and scored anoth'r
victory to add to their already long
list. To be sure the Parksley team
was little out of order or the scor~
would not have been so one-sided.
However, accidents will happen and
in this particular instance the ODDS
we're in favor Of Pocomoke whereas
most of the time heretofore, when
they have sheen in a contest with
Parksley, the odds were in favor Of
the Virginia boys. The score of this
game was Pocomoke 10; Parllsley 2;
thus giving our boys much encour-
agement in their hope of winning
cut over this crack team by the end Of
the season.
On Thursday afternoon the Parks
ley club came to Pocomoke to play
a return game and at the beginning
of the seventh inning, with a score of
8 to in favor of the visiting team,
the Parksley club disputed a ruling
of the umpire, left the diamond an

cpmoke had three men on bases with
one out at the time the forfeiture was
