LOCAL SOCCER
TEAM TO PLAY
AT HURLOCK
Meets The Winner Of The Chesa-
peake-C -Chestertown Contest
Next Friday.
SEASONS PERFORMANCE
POINTS TO VICTORY

The Pocomoke City High School
Soccer team will play an elimination
contest next Friday at Hurlock, Md,
with either the team of Chesapeake
City or Chestertown. The question
of supremacy between the teams of
the northern section has not, as yet,
been settled, and the two towns above
mentioned are to lock horns to decide
which is to meet Pocomoke High.
Should the home boys be victorious
on Friday next, the championship of
the Eastern Shore will be determined
by matching them with Denton, the
winner of the middle section schools.
From what is known of the quail
ty of soccer played by the Cecil and
Kent schools, Pocomoke should have
no trouble in getting away with the
game next week. In Kent, particular
ly, the high school boys have not let
go their attachment for foot ball.
Chestertown being a college town,
foot ball is the popular game, and
soccer has been compelled to draw it's
material from the second string ath-
letes, since restrictions are placed
upon the amount of time any one
student can spend in sports. The Soc
Ger teams have therefore been weak.
Although this has prevented Ches-
tertown from putting her whole
strength into soccer, still she has
generally managed to win the county
championship, and, by so doing, re-
veals in way, the weakness of the
other teams.
Cecil, then, may be returned victor
in her clash with Kent. If that be
the case, Pocomoke will have a more
difficult job on it's hands to get into
the finals.
Should she be so fortunate, the
biggest job of the season will be on
her hands to defeat Denton. This sec
tion is the home of the champion
fredericksburg combination of last year
and this club retained much of its
1922 strength during the present sea-
son.
Denton came through with the hon
ors and must, then, have first-class
bunch of soccerites. Pocomoke should
leave no stone unturned to secure for
the local High School the honor of
meeting the champion of the Western
Shore for the State 1aurels.
Coach Whitman has done wonders
with the boys, and everybody seems
to think he always has something up
his sleeve in the way of training, and
the hopes of local admirers are de-
pending upon him to see that the
boys bring home the bacon.

Brother OF Pocomoke
Man Dies In The West

Joseph A. Fontaine, brother of Ed
gar Fontaine, this city, died on No
vember %, at his home in Dayton,
Washington.
Mr.. Fontaine went to Washington
in 1869, where he has resided ever
since. When he took up his residence
there it was a territory, and has, con-
sequently seen it grow into one of the
great western states.
Mr.. Fontaine was also a brother of
John H. and C. Wesley Fontaine, who
died within the last six or eight
years. He is survived by a daughter
and by Fred and Edgar Fontaine anc
Mrs. Annie E. Landon, sister living
in Baltimore.

POKE WHALEN
WILL RETURN
TO PARKSLEY
Some Prospect That Pocomoke Will
Be Scene Of Eastern Shore
League Ball.
RUMOR THAT PARKSLEY
WILL DIVIDE SCHEDULE

Parksley has gone back to her first
love when managers of her organized
base ball is concerned, and Poke Wha-
ler will manage the team there next
year.
Just why he was released after the
season of 1922 is somewhat OF mys-
tery-nothing more could have been
asked Of him than that he should win
o pennant. Something must have
gone wrong in the post season series,
when Parksley was able to secure
only one game. However, that seems
to be forgotten and Poke will again
be at the head of affairs when the
gong sounds for the 1924 season.
The Parksley hackers Of the club
are looking forward to the best year
cf the league. At least, they expect
their team to make the best financial
showing that has yet been made.
There are two reasons on which they
base their claim. They recognize
Whalen's ability and fighting spirit
as a manager and as good judge Of
ball players.
The town will have much larger
territory this year from which to
draw attendance. The Eatern Shore
of Virginia fans are compelled to
travel either north or south to attend
games. They come from Cape
Charles, so miles south, and with Po-
comoke out of the league the northern
limit will be around 80 miles instead
of about Is, as when Pocomoke had
a team in the league.
The fans of Pocomoke have heard
it rumored that Parksley has it in
mind to play half the schedule on the
grounds in this city, and all base ball
lovers are in hope there is some foun-
dation to that report. There has al
ways been the best feeling existing
between Pocomoke and the Virginia
towns, and Parksley can rest assured
the local rooters would boost the
team representing that town just as
heartily as if it were their own.
It can also be as confidently pre-
dicted that the home fans will turn
out almot as well for the Virginians
as for local organization. Possibly
the attendance would be greater, fol
the loss of a game would not be SC
keenly felt, and the spectators would
be in better frame of mind to enjoy
a game for the sports sake and moi
SO much for a victory. When the mino
is not centered on flag, then it car
view contest more dispassionately
and be in less humor to knock the
players.
The Judgment of the fans here is
that it would be a good move tt
bring Parksley here for half the sea.
son. The Democrat will lend it's ef
fort to bring success, and hopes to sex
Parksley on Pocomoke grounds.

an experienced restaurateur, who
will open an eating house just as soon
as the building is ready for occu-
pancy. "Nick" is the proprietor Of
the Peninsula Restaurant in Sails
bury, and also Of the Capital City
Restaurant in Annapolis, both Of

edly keep a first-class place, and be a
valuable addition to the business life
Of Pocomoke City.
Both these, Heilig and Bounelis,
will open on or about January 18TH,
and the public is exhorted to keep
their eyes and ears open for further
announcements.
D. Miller is also another enterpris-
ing merchant who has been relieved
of somewhat cramped quarters, by the
acquisition of the store just vacated
by the Electric & Ice Co. "Dave'
now has room to spread himself, and
will be in much better condition to sell
goods. He is one Of our reliable
tradesmen,' has built up a large Glen
tele, has gained their confidence, and
is never in want Of buyers. He in
vites inspection of his new quarters,
and he claims to be better than ever
prepared to serve his friends.
