Chemical Powder Used
As Fire Extinguishe1

A very effective fire extinguisher
has been demonstrated this week, and
seems to have found ready sale. It
is chemical powder and is thrown
by the hand on a blaze which is, in
most cases, Immediately extinguished
with a single handful. =
It is manufactured in Baltimore,
Md, and is endorsed and sold locally
by the Walters Implement Company.
The price seems somewhat exalted,
but its value likely is guaged by the
work it does, and not by it's intrinsic
worth.
Demonstrations took the form of
putting out fires in automobile en-
gines when doused with gasoline, and
also when the fluid was thrown on the
street. It seemed to do the work eff
fectively.

POCOM0KE LOSING;
TEAM IN BAD SLUMP
Has Won Only Two Games In Last
Two Weeks. Must Brace To
Keep Out Of Cellar

Since Thursday of last week, the
Pocomoke City base ball team has
lost three out of four games played =
two to Parksley; and one to Dover.
They won from Parksley last Satur-
DAY. They are now resting in fourth
place. with Salisbury pressing them
hard for that position.
The scores Of some Of the games
show good ball, others, very bad-bad
fielding, poor pitching, weak hitting.
This sort of work will not win games
All base ball teams have their
periods of slumping. 1t is like the
measles and other diseases of chill
dren, they must be encountered. They
recover and are better than ever af-
terwards. Let us hope to see paral-
lei recovery in our ball team.
The first game Of double-header
at Parksley last Friday was a night
mare; the second was a creditable
loss. Last Tuesday Dover came here
and scored in five consecutive innings
tallying Z runs. The pitching in this
game was not so bad, Mackey twirl-
ing very creditably; but, his support
was mediocre, and hitting ditto a.
gainst a pitcher Of ditto quality.
:, It may be that players are af-
fected similarly to memebrs Of other
professional amusement organiza-
tions. Members Of the. dramatic fra
ternity are quite frequently affected
by the size of their audiences; they
feel it hard to enthuse over empty
seats; but when sea of faces greets
them, they throw themselves into
their work and are seen at their best
So it may be with the Pocomoke
City base ball team; they are surely
not getting the encouragement Of
large assemblies of spectators. The
dyed-in-the-wool fans are going out
regularly, but the mass of people are
staying home; they are not backing
up the team with their presence. And
this stay-at-home habit may be af.
fecting the york Of the boys. Any
how let us urge all to come out and
give glad hand to the boys and see
if it doesn't improve their hitting and
fielding; it's worth trying.
