"The Melting Pot"

(By Fanny S. Shapiro, New Ulm.)
America was founded upon the
principle of universal brotherhood.
The oppressed and prosecuted PEG
pies of the world f1ocked to our shores
to enjoy in common the blessings of
freedom. Every nationality in the
world was poured into Gods Creas
Crucible" to be fused into one ma
tion-the American People.
| am by parentage and inclination
Jew. Ny parents lived formerly in
Russia, and, as thousands. of other
Russian Jews. they brought with them
TO America the memory of terrible
massacres against their kin. They
did not bury their hatred of the Gen
tile in their native land but, contrary
to American ideals. transplanted their
antipathy in American soil. L. too,
was taught to bear in my heart a
curse against all Gentiles. My error
was revealed to me by IZrael Gang
Wills The Melting Pot"
Through the character of David,
Mr.. Zangwill showed me how narrow
and un American my prejudice was.
David. a Jewish boy, sacrifices his
own faith and forgets his hatred to-
ward the Gentle so that he may up
hold the worthiest of American ideals
that of fraternity. THE Melting
pot woke me up to realization of
my responsibility as an American.
Was it not my duty to help blot out
the greatest OF American evils-raciai
antipathy? l could not be true ana
worthwhile American unless like
David. l looked with a fellow feeling
upon all my country men. 'The Melt
ing Pot" inspired me more than any
other book to serve America and her
ideals.

English AS It Is Spelled

A stranger IN cur land was he:
He tried 10 learn our spelling.
He thought it would as easy be,
As buying or as selling.
He tried TO write, but couldn't quite
Learn when 10 wright or right
He couldn't tell just where ne stood,
When using Good or wood or shood.
He had to stand a lot of chatting,
When cruel people started laffing.
Then other things confused him so,
As doe and dough and roe and row,
And mail and male and sail and sale,
And many more that turned him
pail.
Said he, Il left my wife and dau-
ghter,
In other lands across the waughter,
] wanted much TO bring them here,
But they will have TO stay, / fere,
And must leave you" With sigh
He added, ELSE I'll surely digh."

MAITLAND STAYS WITH MILFORD

Manager McCloskey, of the Milford
team, received a telegram on Wednes-
day from J. H. Farrell, stating that he
had notified the Norfolk, Virginia
team, that Maitland, Milford's fast
third sacker, had been awarded to
Milford. Norfolk had put in a claim for
him, basing their claim on the fact
that he had been negotiating with the
Norfolk team before having signed
with Milford. When the local team
signed Maitland the team was streng-
thened fully twenty-five per cent, and
it was with pleasure that the fans
learned that Norfolk's claim had been
thrown out by the high officials of or
ganized baseball.

Pfeffer Is Leading Hurler


Two off days last week has assisted
to a very great extent in bolstering
the hurting staffs Of the eight clubs
comprising the Eastern Short League.
The effects of the rest afforded the
overworked hurlers has been apparent
in the later contests.
Each club, desiring to make good
showing the early stages of the 1928
schedule, attempted to halt the on
slaughts of the opposing batsmen at
the expense of their pitchers and in
some cases the hurlers were used in
two consecutive games. The rest over
Sunday and suspension of contests on
Monday on account of the rain, gave
the pitchers an opportunity to recup-
crate and the result was evidenced in
Tuesdays games when no club in the
circuit was allowed more than eight
bits. Rain Wednesday again halted the
contests and the mOundsmen the fol-
lowing day were in some cases even
more effective.
Pfeffer, of Pocomoke, has been Ego
ing strong" thus far and is officially
credited with the winning of four con-
secutive games. Humphreys, of the
Milford sand snipers" is also making
an excellent showing. In five starts he
has registered four games in the win
column and has been on the short end |
of a score but once, while in the mean
time forty would-be batters were re-
tired at the plate.
Humphreys has been used as a re-
lief pitcher in about ten games in ad-
dition to those in which he started.

MILFORD TRIMS SALISBURY

After losing three games in succession,
Milford came back strong at Salisbury
last Thursday and whitewashed the team
from that town. Worden, pitching for
Milford, showed in the best of form and
allowed the Marylanders only four scat
tered hits. Inc only one inning was he in
danger but he pitched himself out of the
hole without much effort. Since coming
to Milford Worden has been on the sick
list with an injured eye; and while he
has started a few games he was unable
to finish them Thursdays pitching shows
that he has the stuff when he is right.
Maitland, new third sacker, shows up
fine. In fact the whole team played the
right kind of ball on Thursday. The
score follows.

EASTERN SHORE NOTES

Parksley has fallen into a losing
streak, but the champs should soon
work themselves out of this.
Cambridge, after getting off to
poor start, has taken new grip and
is now fighting hard. She has won the
majority of the games played during
the last week.
