EASTERN SHORE
BASE BALL LEAGUE
ADOPTS SCHEDULE
70 Contests Are Provided, Starting
June 9Th And Ending On
Labor Day.
POCOMOKE ONE OF
SIX CLUBS TO PLAY

Pocomoke baseball fans will well
come with delight the schedule for
the Eastern Shore Baseball League as
adopted by the association this week.
Commenting on the schedule, the
Baltimore Sun of Thursday says in
part:
"After several unsuccessful at.
tempts to arrange a schedule that
would be satisfactory to all concerned,
the Eastern Shore League moguls
have at last come to terms and a TO-
game program, opening on June 9th
and closing Labor Day, is the result.
Sunday ball will not be played and in
the nearly three months of play there
will be seven open dates, not includ-
ing Sundays.
"With managers signed and busy
lining up talent and a schefule agreed
upon, the little Peninsula circuit o.
six teams seems we'll on the way tow
ard a successful campaign. The league
originally called for an eight-town
organization, but with the withdrawal
of Princess Anne, the city whose team
last year won the right to play Fred
erick for the State championship,
made necessary the elimination of "a
mother one of the original members,
and Berlin was the victim.
"a very equitable division of the
choice dates has been made by the
schedule builders. The compactness
Ct the circuit rendered possible the
furnishing of each town with game
on July A, either in morning or after
noon. Each town draws six or seven
Saturdays, depending upon whether or
not the city in question has been az
warded both Labor Day and opening
day games.
"The two largest towns, Salisbury
and Cambridge, each have been given
six Saturdays, a game in the morning
of July a, Labor Day and the opening
date. Pocomoke City has similar ar
rangement, while Laurel, Crisfield and
Tarksley have seven Saturdays, Labor
Day and July afternoon contest"
The official schedule of the entire
circuit is published in another column
of this issue of the Worcester Demo-
crat.

Boxing king Commission
Reiilstates Tender
And NJ N agg e r.

The New York State Boxing Com
mission yesterday lifted the suspen-
sions imposed upon Lew Tender. Phil
ade elphia lightweight, and his manager.
Phil Glassman. Both were suspended d
last Tuesday as result of an alterca-
tion that followed Tenders bout with
Charley Pitts at the Broadway Exhibi-
tlon Association on Monday evening.
There was verbal clash between
Giassman and Referee Andy Griffith
when the latter awarded the decision
to Pitts on foul in the seventh round.
Pitts, who had taken terrific beat
ing from Tender in every round.
claimed that he had been hit low in
the seventh. Many ringside spectato ors
declared that the blow was fair and
had struck the Australian in the nit
of the stomach. Glassman and Griffin
argued the matter in the ring and
later in Tenders dressing room, and
the manager is alleged to have used
some caustic language. When the
boxing commission met next day the
suspension of Tender and Glassman
was ordered.
Fighter and manager appeared be-
fore the commission yesterday, and
Tender was exonerated after being
criticized somewhat warmly for the
peculiar fighting pose he adopts in
the ring. Lew is a southpaw and de
votes about 70 per cent of his attack
to body punches.
The commission warned Glassman
not to question the decisions Of ref
erees and the latter promised to be
good in the future. This closed the

The Virginians gave the Tigers quite
scare in the fifth. Southpaw Harvey,

Townsend to the mound, and he passed

at first.
Mccoy then sent hot grounder to

out by Umpire Cross, and a vigorous
protest by the Southerners failed to
