POCOMOKE CONTINUES
ITS WINNING STRIDE
Continued from Page 1.

Dover went to take it's last bat. A
homer settled the question and the
game went to Dover by the score of
9 to II. BY innings:
Pocomoke O2 101 8 %
Dover OO1 o O2 3-11
Dover returned the game on Tues
day, coming to Pocomoke's roofing
grounds. People asked themselves
how Dover managed to turn in vic
tory the day before. The Salamanders
got down to business early in the
game, and in the first two innings
scored runs-two homers, one by
Sharp, the other by Mcdonald, with
men on, doing the business. After
that the game was slow. The result
was foregone conclusion, and the
crowd didn't get much chance to yell.
Harris. new man, pitched air
tight ball, and made good impress
sion. If he can produce such goods
all the time as he showed on Tues
day "heIl do" and the team needs a
title more Strengthening.
Pocomoke journeyed to Salisbury
on Wednesday, and met defeat by the
score of 8 to z. The boys batted well
enough, making is hits as reported
here, although the Baltimore papers
gave them credit for only 10. The
team bats well enough to win most
any game, but hits sometimes are
needed when they are not forthcom
ing, too many men being left on bases.
But We are still at the head of the
list, in good company, and no kick
coming. g..

The return game was played with
Salisbury on Thursday, and if the rain
had not interrupted and broken up the
contest, there is no telling where the
score would have climbed.
It was only miracle that prevent
ed several runs from coming in dur
ing the fifth inning; the bases were
loaded and Sharp at the bat-that ex-
plains the miracle.
But the White Clouds thought 3
to / score was better than SO to 1,
SO they summoned Black Cloud to
their aid, and it did the rest.
At this game there were some very
nice people from Salisbury present,
people whom Pocomoke City will al
ways feel complimented to see, and to
whom the glad hand will always be
Extended.
But there were others, who were
not so nice, and to whom Pocomoke
would like to extend hand all doubled
up, behind which there should be a.
bout 100 pounds of good bone and
muscle, and planted where it would
make it somewhat difficult for them
to open their mouths after it landed.
We are disposed to look somewhat
leniently upon the behavior of these
visitors, because the nice people we
spoke of, apologized for them; but we
are sorry that these were put to this
embarrassment.
But such "ballyragging" Of an UNI
pire has seldom been seen in POGO
moke's stands. If they think it is a
distinguishing mark Of base ball en-
thusiasm, we are willing to allow
them the Candy cane for proficiency
in browbeating the arbiter Of the
game; and all because, decision went
against the Salisbury team at first
base, the correctness of which, the |
"ballyraggers could not possibly be in
position to adjudge. For his decis-
ion the umpire in the opinion of these
"pe ntlemen," was all kinds of a bum,
coming from the slums of city life,
ind incapable of one honest instinct;
anG this opinion was hurled at him in
tones that would suggest that
"Floods" was place each and every
one of them was well acquainted with.
Come again, boys, but don't come in
tic flesh; if you elect to come in
the spirit, perhaps it will be refined
Ivy the fire through which it must inc
vitality pass.
Only five innings of this game were
played. The sixth had just begun ,onc
Salisbury man had been retired. when
the storm broke.
