$25O,OOO BEING SPENT IN
CITY FOR new BUILDINGS
STRUCK BY AUTOMOBILE
THAT NEVER STOPPED
MIR. John 7. M. Sturgis Seriously
Injured On Sixth Street
Sunday Last.

Mr.. John T. M. Sturgis, resident
OF Second street, was seriously injur-
cd Sunday afternoon last on the Sixth
street stone road, when an automobile
struck him, knocking him down and
passing over his body. According to
Mr.. Sturgis' story and those who wit
r,essed the accident, he was walking
Oh the side of the road when an au.
tomobile approached at a high rate
of speed, and thinking the car had
ample room to pass, he kept to the
right side of the street. The car kept
Tearing towards him and before he
could get out Of the way, had knocked
him down, run over him and passed
on without even stopping to inquire
whom they had hit or to the extent
ol the victims injuries.
The automobile contained two ne
groes besides the negro driver, but
their identity could not be learned,
nor did anyone succeed in getting the
license number of the car.
He was picked up Immediately by
passing car and brought to the Par
kcr House for medical attention, but
those who were caring for him not
being able to locate a doctor at once,
carried him to his home where aid
was administered by DR.. S. s., and F.
W. c. Quinn. He was cut and bruised
in several places and it was necessary
to take several stitches in two of his
wounds. He has been suffering great
ly all the week from his injuries, but
at the present time is a little improv-
ed and with proper attention should
soon be out again.
Automobile accidents are to be
greatly deplored, but such as the "a
hove, where the perpetrators run a
way from their crime, should not be
PASSED idly by and the authorities
should do everything in their power
to bring them to justice.

We don't claim to be experts on the

the right to be called dyed-in-the-
wool fans as business engagements
Lave kept us from many of the gameo
and when we do have a chance to go
we incline to the grandstand rather
than the bleachers because we have to
take care of our tender compilations
and we dol't like too much noise. All
of which is substantial proof that we
are no authority on the National

Iocomoke does to be success. Fail

here a few points III connection with

what we have observed and by our
ratural interest. We do it for the

CAPE CHARLES COUPLE
DROWNED ON MONDAY
James D. King And His Fiancee,
Miss Maude Seay, Meet
Tragic Death.

Mr.. James D. King, son of Joseph
,. King, supervising agent of the N.
y. P. & N. Railroad, and his fiancee,
Miss Maude Seay, were drowned Mon
day afternoon off Cobb's Island while
in bathing. The body of Miss Seay
was recovered shortly after, but Mr..
Kings body had not been recovered
at the time of this writing (Wednes-
day afternoon.)
The tragedy occurred while several
of a beach party from Cape Charles
were in bathing on the island beach.
Young King, who was law graduate
of Washington and Lee University
this year, and Miss Seay, whose home
was in Richmond, ventured out too
far beyond the breakers and were be
ing swep5 cut into deeper water. Their
screams for help brought young
Kings fa.her, who was also bathing
near by, C their aid.
The father made frantic efforts to
rescue them, but he himself went
down twice with the couple before
reaching The beach. Here he fell un-
conscious. With the assistance of
the life guards who were on duty at
the life saving station he was revived
and will recover. Miss Margaret
Bishop was rescued by the bathing
party.
Miss Seay's body was found on the
beach in about four feet of water a
short distance from where she went
down, having been washed ashore by
the breakers. The body was still
warm and limp, but life was extinct.
The life guards worked increasingly
ntil ali hope had to be given up. Mr..
Kings body was not recovered, and it
is believed the strong undertoW which
was running at that time carried the
body out to sea.
On returning to the mainland with
the bathing party a motorbcat bear
ing Miss Seay's body and about 25
persons was greatly endangered in
the big bay by a heavy electrical
storm and high wind with cloud
hurst of rain that made it necessary
for the boat to anchor about an hour.
Miss Scay's body was taken in
charge by an undertaken and prepar-
ed for shipment to Richmond for
burial.
The victim of the tragic accident
and his father especially were we'll
known to many Focomokc people, and
the news of the drowning was a
source of much regret to them all.

A Few Observations
On Our Baseball 7 cam

anyone who has followed events since
the season began.
8. If our team had had the leader
ship that our Virginia friends have
had for their team since the season
began, Pocomoke would now be lead
ing the league by wider margn than
that now enjoyed by Parksley.
A. Bad Judgment, failure to take
advantage of opportunities, failure to
look ahead and prepare for emergen-
cies, failure to "cash in" on the weak
resses of opponents, or a COM
bination of these causes has been re-
sponsible for rs pc. cent of the lost
games.
S. A town cannot afford to go into
a baseball venture Of this magnitude
unless it provides for leadership and
discipline that makes for morale and
creates spirit which puts the win
ming of baseball games ahead of ev-
erything else,-social pleasure in
cluded.
Our team has still a good chance
to finish in second place. But the sit
uation demands action.-quick action
combined OF course with the proper
tact.
Our baseball team has the ability
to win games consistently if they arr
taught to do so and if they have the
will to do so. We don't mean to infer
that anybody is "laying down., bu;
real leadership is sadly lacking, and
the team must have it and have il
without delay if the season is not tc
end in failure.

Standing of the Clubs.
Thursday night, Aug. 10)

Durin gthe last week, the POGO.
moke team has only won two of the
last six starts, and although this rec
ord is not good, they still hold second
place in the Eastern Shore League
Focomoke lost both series to Crisfeld
and Parksley, but took the Cambridge
tilt.
Last Friday, Crisfeled was here to
open their series land took the gam
by the score of to 3. Kreps, stal
hurler for the local team was on the
mound and with good support might
have been the winner. The game was
3 tie until the eighth inning when Yap
and Murphy hit for the circuit. Sat
urday the home team journeyed to
Crisfeld and was again defeated
Hummer, the Crisfield mound artist
shutting them out, 9 to 0. Gordy work
ed this game for Pocomoke, and
pitched fine ball, allowing the oppos-
ing batsmen only hits, but poor sup
port accounted for 2 of the 3 tallies
made by Crisfeld.
Cambridge came IL town last Mon
day and were defeated. The POGO
moke bats were ali tuned up for this
game, three home runs being made
off Schroll, the Cambridge star hurl-
er. Mcknight hit for the circuit in
the fourth inning and Ryan and Cor
dy followed with homers in the sixth
kreps worked in big league style for
Pocomoke, striking out ten batters
and was usually steady in the pinches.
Tuesday the local team travelled to
Cambridge and again defeated the
Gamers by the same score, 6 to 3
Alexander was on the mound for Po-
comoke and threw the ball like a
Lacquer, perfect support was Civ n
him, three fast double plays taking
the pepper out of the Cambridge
cuff.
Parksley opened their series with
Pocomoke Wednesday and were the
winners by the score of A to 2. Phil
lips and Klinglehoffer were the o.
posing hurlers, and both pitched fine
brand Of baseball, Klinglehoffer get
ting the breaks, Phillips support 60
ing to pieces several times, and the
local team presented Parksley with
three runs. Gordy's pinch hitting act
in the ninth inning was the feature of
the game, with Ryan on first base. he
drove the ball out of the lot for the
only runs of the dag.
Thursday, Pocolnoke travelled To
Parksley and were again shutout, tn
score being to 0. Poor fielding
again played a part in the defeat.
The breaks favored the Parksley nine
again, with three on the sacks in the
seventh inning, Goetzel, Parksley
right fielder, made a wonderful catch
of a line drive, and again Gordy was
robbed of home run, when a line
drive off his bat barely missed going
over the fence. This is the second
game in which Gordy has pitched
without i run being made for hin.

The game was featured by the To-
,als' interference, Nelson's end runs,
Follansbee's line plunges, PARIS star
playing, Dawson's clever passing, the
ines stonewall defense and offense,
and White Bears ability to open
holes for their backs, their line plung-
es, and their success in breaking up
our passes.
Richardson, our best passer and
punter; Follansbee, our best line
plunger; Parr, the fastest all round
player we have ever had; Dopkins, the
hard little end; Nelson, known for
his speed and end runs; Kelly, man
who could be counted on whenever
needed; Fagnon, the gritty man from
Somerset; L'Allier, and Second, two
of our best subs, played their last
game of football for the "Old Orange
and White" last Friday. The High
School regrets to lose these reliable
players, who always fought till the
last whistle, and held their opponents
whether large or small, in check UNI
til the time was up. Great holes will
be left to fill next year.

RIVER FALLS CLOSES
THEIR SEASON WITH
THOUSAND 90 AVERAGE
(By Stanly Davidson)

Although handicapped by weight
and muddy field, River Falls over
came White Bear 33 to 3. White
Bear p ayeGl a fast game and fought
to the last minute. Although the score
was high, it was far from a walk
away for the boys had to work every
minute of the game.
At one o'clock White Bear made the
kick off and Parr returned it for
thirty yards. Parr made four yards
off tackle and after gaining twenty
yards more White Bear frightened up
and the Falls was forced to punt.
White Bear was unable to make gains
and Fagnon blocked their kick. A
pass from Dawson to Follansbee net
ted US a score of six points and Parr
made the next point by dropkicking
goal. Again the Bears frightened up
and the ball was worked back and
forth in the middle of the field until
the first quarter ended TO.
The second quarter was spent most
ly in finding the opponents weak
spots until Dawson hurled short
pass to Follansbee, who romped over
the line for six more counters. Parr
kicked goal. White BeaTs fighting
spirit played them down to our twen-
ty yard line and they dropkicked goal.
The Falls opened up with fast play
ing which took White Bear off their
feet and the team worked up to the
thirty yard line. Follansbee threw a
pass to Richardson that ended in a
touchdown. Parr "booted" an unsuc-
cessful dropkick. White Bear opened
up with passing but this proved UNI
successful and the half ended with
the score 1873.
River Falls plainly had the best of
the battle in the first half, but in
the last period White Bear started in
fast and neither team had the adj
vantage of the other until Dawson
picked hole in the line and ran TWEEN
ty yards for touchdown. Parr miss
ed the kick. The remainder of the
quarter was spent in punts, as Meth
err team could get through the 9TH
eds defense. Score 20-3.
At the beginning of the fourth per-
iod Fagnon was temporarily hurt and
L'Allier took his place. On the next
play, however, L'Allier was laid up
and Martin was placed at guard. Go
ing down on the Reds next punt, Oh
son, the locals gritty guard, wrenched
his hip by slipping in the mud and
Second took his place. With about
seven minutes left to play, White
Bear grew desperate and opened up
with passing, but again this proved
unsuccessful and "Speed" Richardson
picked pass out of the air and mos
eyed along for another touchdown.
Parr kicked goal and shortly after
ward the half ended. Score 1913.
