Annual Convention OF State Body
Will Be Held Next Year
In Frederick.

The annual convention Of the Mary
land State Farmers Association will
be held in Frederick on January 10,
Il and IL, and elaborate plans are
now being made by the Frederick
Chamber of Commerce, in conjunction
with the various farm organizations
in the State, to make this the best
convention of it's kind ever held in
Maryland.
This Convention will bring one
thousand delegates representing the
Dairymen's Association, the Horticul-
tural Society, the Crop Improvement
Association, the Sheep Growers Asso-
citation, and other farm organizations,
representing about twelve thousand
progressive citizens of Maryland in
terested in the best development Of
agriculture in the State.
1t was decided that President Hard
ing and Secretary Of Agriculture Wal
lace be asked to be present at the
meeting, and with this objection in
view Senator Weller arranged an in
terview with the President and the
Secretary on Thursday, November
10Th. The Committee on Arrange
ments headed by Senator Weller, con-
sisted of Representative F. N. Zihl-
man, DIR. A. F. Woods, President of
the University of Maryland. DR.. Thos.
B. Symons, of the University, Mr.. D.

Dairymen's Association, and Colonel
D. John Marley, President of the
Frederick Chamber of Commerce.
Secretary Wallace promised to be
present and to deliver an address on
the afternoon of January 18th. Presi-
dent Harding explained that he would
very much like to come, but that It
would probably be impossible for him
to do so because of the press of af
fairs during the short session of
Congress. He stated, however, that if
he was unable to make the visit, he
would be glad to present a greeting in
writing to the farmers of the State
on that occasion,

Mississippi had apparently done their
best to stop the fight, and warrants
were out in Mississippi for the prin-
cipals, their seconds and hackers as
soon as the battle was over. The
wag of the party told Harding be-
fore leaving New Orleans that he was
wanted particularly as an accessory,
and the journey was begun with mis-
givings. By an arrangement with the
conductor, bogus dispatch was reau
to Harding at the first stop saying
that he would be taken into custody

The College foot ball season in
Maryland closed on Thanksgiving
Day, and the championship is still a
mooted question.
The strongest team apparently, in
the State is that representing Mary
land University, but in connection
with foot ball honors, she should not
be taken into consideration at all, not
even when AllMaryland teams are
being selected. She has repudiated'
all the Maryland colleges, except
Hopkins, and as honors are generally
computed as the result of actual &C
'omplishment rather than or the prin-
ciple Of elimination, Maryland Uni
versity has no claim whatever when
gold footballs are being passed a
round.
Washington College has had the
best season she has ever experienced
IL football. While she has not won
game from any Maryland college, I'M
less Gallaudet can be so classed, her
defeats have been by one touchdown
or less. Furthermore, she has scored
more points against opponents than
any other Maryland team-167. Hop
kins comes next with 1865; st. Johns,
1913; Maryland State, Ct; Western
Maryland, SO; and Mt. st. Mary's, "a.
st. Johns, in losing to Hopkins,
failed to secure just what she has
been working for all season. No
matter how many other games she
may lose, all is forgotten in a Hop
kins defeat; and no matter how many
games she may win, all are lost in
Hopkins victory. A football team is

Pocomoke High School was elimi.
mated last week from the State
Soccer Championship race, when il
was taken into camp by fredericksburg
High School by the score of 5-goals
to /.
The game which was played at
Sharptown was the toughest soccer
contest ever staged on the shore, with
the much heavier fredericksburg team
running roughshod over its lighter op-
ponents from Pocomoke Federals-
burg won the toss and chose the south
goal, with Pocomoke kicking off. The
ball was instantly taken back into
Pocomoke's territory where it was
soon put between the bars for the first
score of the game. A few minutes
later this same play was repeated
netting fredericksburg it's second goal.
Redden, Pocomoke's star halfback was
injured in this play and had to be TAX
en- from the game. No further scoring
was done during the half and the ball
was kept midway of the field. 1t could
be easily seen that injuries were tell
irg on Pocomoke as Bicking and
Wardwell, who were suffering from
sprained ankles, were not playing up
tc their usual standards.
The second half started with FEEDER
alsburg again kicking with the wind
for during the intermission the wind
had shifted and was blowing toward
Pocomoke's goal. The boys from Wor-
cester started off with rush that
looked as if they would score but a.
gain the fredericksburg backs held, and
the ball went back up the field and a
few minutes later to go again thru
Pocomoke's goal, to this they added
two more bringing their total up -
five. During the rest of the half Po-
comoke showed some Of its former
playing skill which it had displayed
during the season. They had several
fine chances to score but lacked the
punch to put it through. Their lone
goal came in the last minutes of play
when Pocoomke was given penalty
and Wardwell booted it through.
fredericksburg also had a penalty but
failed to kick goal.
Although badly bruised and beaten
the boys fought with that same spirit
that can always be found in teams
representing Pocomoke High School.
There was a large crowd at the
game and great deal of roofing was
dcne, but alas VINO for-Federalsburg!
Is there were about thirty supporters
from Pocomoke while fully four hun
bred from Caroline county.

While the late Richard K. Fox was
the owner and publisher of the Police
Gazette he was not as picturesque a
figure as his sporting editor, Col.
William E. Harding, who represented
him at prize fights, six-day walking

one of the Police Gazette trophies was,
a part of the reward.

Sullivan was not fond of Harding or

appreciated to the fullest by Charlie

There is a generally accepted prin
ciple among the sporting fraternity
that champion, once defeated, never
"comes back. But there is another
precept, also generally accepted, tina
"the exception always groves til :
rule"
An exception took place last week,
when Willie Hoppe champion billiard
list for II out of the 18 last years, Won
back the crown which had been taken
from him last year by Jake Schaefer,
Jr., son of the famous Shaefer, the
Wizard, now dead.
Hoppe took part in tournament
and came out victorious in compet!-
ton with all the international CHAMP
ions. He exhibited, however, some
nervousness, which was in direct con-
trast to his former demeanor when in
contests where his crown was the
prize. On several occasions he had to
step back from the table to regain
his composure. This was made neces-
ssry probably by the uneasiness of
the spectators, who became nettled by
his long continued "fiddling" with his
cue before making his shot. 1t is re-
lated that in the match won from him
by Schaefer, Hoppe needed only a
few more points to win, and he was in
the midst of long run.
He delayed his shot so long, that a
nervous man in the gallery yelled out,
"Why don't you shoot" This so dis
concerted Hoppe that he missed, and
Schaefer then ran out.
In his late match, tho Hoppe was
in the main an iceberg. He showed
wonderful control of the cue ball, and
his masse shots were miraculous, mas
much as he was suffering from a
strained ligament in his arm.
He is probably the greatest billiard
list the world ever saw, and he will be
hard to depose a second time.
