The newly organized Base Ball
team to represent Pocomoke City in
the Eastern Shore League during the
season of 1928, played the Mt Holly
club of Pa, last week and was de-
feated by the score Of 9 to 8 in thir-
teen innings.
The Mt. Holly paper has the follow
ing to say Of the game:
"Dsrby Fou1ks' single in the thir-
teenth inning, scoring McAuliffe,
gave Mt. Holly hard earned victory
over Pocomoke in the opening game
Of the season Saturday. The home
team put up strenuous battle nd
more TINA 1000 fans cheered the
players as the winning run crossed
the plate.
The game was thriller from the
start. Both twirlers were hit hard
and the score see-sawed throughout.
Knowlton hurled fine article Of ball
and went the entire thirteen innings:
The visitors tied the score at seven
runs in the seventh frame and the
teams battled the regulation time to
standstill. Pocomoke entered the
run column in their half Of the tenth,
but Muffler| dropped the ball out Of
the field for four bases again dead
locking the figures. Both teams then
went scoreless until McAuliffe walked
with two out in the thirteenth, stole
second and scored on Foulks' terrific
clout to center field fence. Il
Score by innings:
POGO. e 1 2 1 OO1 90 90 O-8

Mt. Holly made 12 hits and 9 er-

2b.; Reed, C. f.; Kaynor, S.; McDon-
aid, 1b. ;O'Rourke, IT,; Hackman, IT,;
Gibbs, c.; Vesto, p.; and Barry, p.
The game seems to have been a
thriller, and to the fans here was
eminently satisfactory for the first
contest, and with patched-up lineup.
On Wednesday last, the Pocomoke
club was defeated by the South Phila-
delphia team by score of IA to II.
The club will report in Pocomoke

H..W. JACKSON ELECTED
MAYOR OF BALTIMORE
Defeats Preston And Broeuing By
Substantial Majorities. Masses
Not With Preston.

The strenuous political campaign
just closed in Baltimore, resulted in
the election of Howard w. Jackson,
democrat, as mayor, and the defeat Of
James H. Preston, independent, and
Of Mayor William F. Broening re-
publican.
Jackson's plurality over Broening
was 2S596, and over Preston 35497.
Various causes have been assigned
for the defeat of the Citizens and Of
the Republicans. Preston says that
the times were not ripe for his sort
of ticket; that the people preferred a
well oiled machine rather than 60
as-you-please vehicle. He, however,
has lost no sleep, he thanks his loyal
supporters, and. .congratulates himself,
personally, too, on the outcome, as
the office would have entailed much
sacrifice on his part. He speaks very
confidently, in an indirect way as to
the reforms he would have effected,
and intimates the people do not want
them, and Mr. Jackson will not intro
duce them.
He says the "highbrows" were with
him, but the masses were not. 1t is
a question whether his friends will
relish being referred to as such He
says the election was clean, most of
the money being spent in advertising.
Danny Loden is heart-broken, and
sees political oblivion for himself,
and another man collecting rents. He
is referred to as the man of sorrow.
There is no victory in defeat for him,
he says.
The Republicans claim the G. o,
p. went back on them; the negroes
went back on them; Weller went back
on them and how in Sam Hill could
they win. This is bad year for the
party. It is thought by some that
Weller saw the handwriting on the
wall, stood off and allowed the other
fellows kingdom to be destroyed.
The Democrats carried % out Of the
% wards, SO that the Council will be
overwhe| |mingly democratic.
It is now up to Jackson to make
good and everybody believes he will

CABINE I FORMING EFFORTS BARREN
German Leaders Are Finding New Body A Critical Test
 Of Statesmanship

BERLIN. Nov. 24.-(By Associated Press.) .)-Nesotiat were still in progress this afternoon among the various party groups to provide a successor to Chancellor Stresemann. The results achieved so far have been negative, the different combi- nations suggested proving unwork able.
 Strong efforts are being made to construct a coalition government ot the four borgeois parties. namely, the nationalists, the peoples party, the clericals and the democrats. All avenues Of compromise are being ex- plored, as President Ebert appears to be firmly opposed to the dissolu- tion of the reichstag.
 The country, however, may yet have a dissolution forced upon it, should all combinations fail or cabinet be forced from the parties of the right, which would be unable to stand the caid test of vote of con- fidence in the reichstag.

BORDER RUM RUNNERS MATTER FOR FARLEY
American And Canadian Repres-
 sentatives To Tackle Problem

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.--Co- opera tion against border liquor sfnugglers will be discussed between the Amer ican and Canadian governments at Ottawa next Tuesday.
 Representatives of the American department of justice, prohibition commis ssion, customs service and state department will meet similar Canadian representatives to plan war on the men who traffic in contraband across the long border.
 This government hopes an arrange ment with Canada, coupled with the treaty with Great Britain extending American jurisdiction over rum ships to 12 miles at sea, will effectively plug up the leaks through which liquor has poured from abroad into this country.
 Much of the smuggled liquor has been coming in from the West Indies to Canadian ports, thence to thel United States over the border. Some of it comes directly from abroad to Canada. and is smuggled over by land. Thus 1t would only partly solve the problem to get the British treaty, officials here said. Discussion of the treaty continued today al the state department between American off cials and representatives of the Brit ish embassy. The negotiations, 1t was stated, are progressing favor ablV.
