Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1923-06-02


but it seems that when Fitzberger
put his weight 'agin' that old pill, the
to 2 score went over the center field
fence along with it, and came back
labeled S to A.
1t was corlxing good fight, tho, if
you shut your eyes to a few glazing
errors. But they are part Of the
game, the fans forgive them, >and are
taking much stock in the old proverb
that lit takes more than one swallow
to make summer"
Don't forget to tell your friends
that that boy Dougherty served up a
nice article Of ball from the rubber,
and also that he stung the old glo-
bule for keeps, sending it once on a
flying expedition over the left field
fence, soaring the life out of the guar
dian Of that territory a second time,
and pasting one hot enough to SINCE
the eyebrows off the first baseman
when he made dive for it as it ca
vorted out into right field.
The horrid old jumps called that
scorcher a foul ball, and just because
Dougherty had run the breath out of
himself in reaching third on the hit,
couldn't do thing when he again
went to the plate. We've got it in for
that old bumpire, and the next time
we see him, we are going to tell him
"sumpin'."
The score by innings of that game
was as follows:
Laurel ............1 o o 1 OF o o 0 Is
Pocomoke 10 o 3 o 10 900 "a
The next day the Salamanders
journeyed to Sussex in an attempt to
clip the wings Of the pesky chickens
who have persisted in scratching up
the prospects planted in all the differ
ent base ball gardens, and Pocomoke
found them again ready for fight.
They had battle, and once more the
Salamanders got burnt to the tune of
Is to 3.
Those who saw the game said it was
a good one, and Veso, in particular,
showed up well. That boy looks like
ga regular feller," and good enough
to tie to. It was another creditable
game to lose, and no kick coming. The
score by innings:
Pocomoke ..........O o o 2 90 O O ID
Laurel ..........O O o O 2 1 0 Ks
Last Wednesday the Crabbers, who
had begun to walk a little straighter
by reason of their victory over Dover,
came to Pocomoke to still further i'm
prove Their step by a win; but they
couldn't follow the tune our Phifer
played =, and when the crowd left, the
score was 8 to 2 against the Somerset
chaps.
That little boy O'Rourke was all
there at short. He twisted himself a.
round three lightning double plays,
and while he booted one, he didn't look
half bad. He's got to grow some more
tho before he can dent the ball like
he ought to, but he looks like a
conner. Score by innings:
Crisfield ........0 0 o o 2 o 0 o o.
Pocomoke .........:1 o O o. 1 o 0 Ks
The Crabbers on Thursday seemed
to want to return to their old gait,
and walked backwards once more
Pocomoke gathering in the game by
the score of 8 to 5.
Barry was on the mound for the
Salamanders, but Pocomoke's mana
ger was Sharp (no insult intended)
enough to see the hurler couldn't go
the distance, yanked him out, and
substituted Alexander. This baby
must have been imbued with the spir-
IL of his illustrious historical ances-
tors, and came out conquering hero,
signing for more innings to conquer.
The score by innings was as follows:
Pocomoke ..........1 0 4 O zoos 0 0-8
Crisfield ...........O 1 z 0 2 900 0-5
It too early to enter into any
criticism of the individual players. The
season is too young; the boys have not
had fair trial, and the fans should
Withhold their judgment until few
more games are checked up in the
won and lost columns. Everybody
relieves they can play ball, and all
that is asked is that they give the
rest that is in them; which can be
done only by keeping in the best con-
diton.
