Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1923-06-16

In connection with this meet, w.
Wilson Wingate Of the Baltimore Sun
staff writes very Interestingly COM
corning the victory of the Bel Alton
school, Charles county, in the dodge
ball championship, as follows:
"Deep down beneah the hard shell
of .impartiality that of necessity en-
shrouds the officials of the Public
Athletic League in the performance
of their duties there must have burn
ed for a moment, at least, soften
ing flame of satisfaction and graft
tude when the 10 little fellows of Bel
Alton, Charles county, eliminated
the last rival for the State dodgeball
championship Friday afternoon at
Homewood Field.
There they were-the representa-
tives of a little two-room school way
down in Southern Notwithstanding
against the best that % counties and
Baltimore city could produce for the
highest honors in their field in Mary
land.
And they came through with flying
colors-this doughty little band of
strong-armed lightning flashes, pick
ed from ranks in tiny institution
Of 60 pupils.
Truly this magnificent winning
fight against overwhelming odds was
enough to convert the most hard
boiled dignitary in the league. Ten
ruddy-faced youngsters, the best a.
mong 5000 in the State, competing
for the same honors!
But to DIR. Burdick, William S. Pit
man, ct al. Of the Public Athletic
League, the victorious struggle of Bel
Alton meant more than this.
It meant the concrete INSTALLATION
Of the passing of a generation in the
work that has meant so much to the
health of boys and girls in Maryland
since Robert Garrett and his lieuten-
ants first conceived and initiated in
Baltimore the modest scheme that has
grown until the scope of its work is
row Unlimited only by the boundaries
Of Maryland and the generosity of
the State Legislature and the City
Park Board.
In the little fellows from Bel Alton
and Tom McDonagh, their coach, the
lublic athletic officials saw the re-
suits of more than a decade Of effort.
It was IA years ago when Tom Nc
Donagh, his brother, Marty, Herb
Prem, Henry Elphinstone and Warren
Freeburger-the pioneers in the ranks
of the Public Athletic League-6rst
began to attract attention to them
selves and the organization that pro-
duced them.

Salamanders Top OF
The Heap Friday

no run game, but it was not so de-
creed. There is no kick coming, how
ever, on the quality of ball he served;
it was gilt edged article. Only
four hits were garnered off his deliv-
cry, and he looked like big-league
stuff. The game went into the won
column for Pocomoke by the score of
Z to 8, thus sending the Salamanders
to the top of the heap, and enabling
them to gain the distinction of being
the first club to score two figures in
the won column.

Clarence E. Murphy of Portland;
treasurer. George G. Weber Of Au-
burn. The outgoing officers are:
President, William Tudor Gardiner.
Augusta: secretary, Captain James
A. Walsh of Portland; treasurer.
Father James A. Cary. During the
business session it was voted to hold
another reunion next year, and the
time and place was left to the dis
erection of the new officers.
Other members Of the association
continued to arrive during the. after
noon, and by 3 there were about 1875
present. One of the special features
of the afternoon was baseball
game, teams being made up, one of
of married men and one of single
men and. although this game was not
run off in big league baseball style.
1T held the interest of the onlookers
as closely as many of the major
league games have done. On ac-
count of the unwelcome. rain, the
game was declared off before nine
innings had been played. and it was
the general opinion that the single
men outclassed their beendict rivals
in welding the stick and making
bases, although an official score
could not be obtained.
Before the party left the dining
tables the matter of determining the
best looking man present was taken
up, and 1t was an unanimous deci-
sion that Ansel B. Winch could easily
support this title. Lieutenant Ste
vens was voted the man with the
greatest appetite. these decisions fur
nishlng great amusement for the 9TH
ers present.

District Governor
at Rotary Meeting
Wednesday Evening

The meeting of the Augusta Ro-
tary Club will be held on Wednesday
evening of this week instead of on
Friday noon as has been the Gus
tom through the summer months.
The Wednesday evening meeting at
the Augusta House is called to ac-
commodate Governor Dan Sullivan
OF the 31st Rotary District, who will
make his annual visit to the club at
that time. 1t is expected that there
will be practically 100 per cent at
tendance at this meeting to meet
Governor Dan and his party.
A decision will be made at this
meeting as to whether the Augusta
Rotary Club will continue with the
noon lunches or go back to the night
meetings. This issue has always
been closely contested with the de-
clslon being made by the narrow
margin of one or two votes when
ever the club members have acted,
and this question coming up for set
tlement at this meeting will be an.
other reason for a full attendance.
The luncheon will be at the Au.
gusta House at 6.15 P. M, Wednes-
day, August %.

Claim Zion Man
Faxed Attack Story
Roy Yeoman, Waukegan JeweIer, is
Released When George Beach. Com
planning Witness Disappears.

Zion, III. - What is believed to be
a clear case Of faxed 'cfime" came to
light at Zion yesterday. Roy Yeo-
man, Waukegan jeweler, was arrest
ed on warrant sworn out by George
Beach, a travelling salesman, who I'M
til recently made his home at EN-.
maus avenue and 33rd street. Ac-
cording to the story told by Beach,
he was walking along the street one
night near his home and someone
called out, swat a minute, Beach,"
A man then stepped up to him struck
him with a gun, and afterwards fred
two shots, both which penetrated his
clothing, he said. He stated to the
Zion police that the man then went
towards a Buick car and drove off to.
wards Waukegan. Accepting his
story as truth, the Zion police took
Beach with them to Waukegan, and
seeing Buick car standing by the
curb they found it was Roy Yeo-
mans car, and Beach then swore out
a warrant for Yeoman's arrest.
The whole story is believed to be
faxed, and to substantiate this the
CRY, Beach skipped from town, taking
his two children, and has not been
seen since. His wife deserted him
sometime ago, so that both have left
the city.
Justice Bishop yesterday dismissed
the case against Yeoman, and the i'm
preston is that Beach did the shoot
ing himself.

Japan's Foreign
Trade Increases

Toxic "The Japanese foreign
trade for the year 1929 indicates a
slight improvement over the preceding
year." said Mr.. Arai, minister of Com
merce. "Up to November. 1922, for
instance exports reached 1,47S,200, 900
yen and imports 1,745,730,00O yen,
thereby registering an increase in the
former of S71,77o,O00 yen and of $780,
+ 100000 in the latter. 1t is a matter
for congratulation that in the latter
half Of the year 1922, the trade re-
suited in the excess of export over
import due chiefly to the brisk de-
mand abroad for silk.
"Viewed as a whole, however, there
MS something in the past foreign
trade that indicates depression of
business beyond the extent of the
usual years. But this is a tendency
common to all the world nations, nor
is it insurmountable if efforts be made
for the improvement, so far as Japan
is concerned, of the quality of goods
and the reduction Of prices.
I'm the hope Of attaining these de-
sirable improvements, the government
is resolved to employ every possible
means by despatching early this
spring commercial commissioners
abroad for the purpose of inspection
mad the appointment of special COM
mittees for the investigation of in
dustrial possibilities"
