TOMATO CANNERIES
IN THIS TERRITORY
CLUTTED THIS WEEK
Majority Of Fruit Inferior And
Thousands OF Baskets Rot Be-
fore They Can Be Handled
PACK NOT EXPECTED TO
BE LARGER THAN USUAL

The canning men located in town
and vicinity, agree in the statement
that the season this year has been
very peculiar and unsatisfactory, and
the outlook at present is not at all
promising.
From the appearance at, not only
the Gamers here, but all over the
Shore, one would come to the conclu-
sion that the farmers were experience
ing a bumper crop. This, from early
reports, was not expected, since the
long and severe drought was thought
to have cut the yield very materially.
And it was cut; the enormous stock
seen at the packing houses has been
piled up by reason of a rapidity of
maturity, since the season will last no
longer than usual; the houses will
close down probably next week; and
the pack will not be any larger than
usual.
The quality of the fruit is reported
as being inferior, due also to the dry
weather. The tomato is watery and
after being put into the can will not
hold up, nor can it always stand the
delay sometimes necessary before be-
ing worked. Thousands of baskets
have gone to the bad entailing a loss
both to the farmer and to the packer
Much of this waste has been dumped
into the river here, or thrown out on
the land.
This, of course, will affect the price
Inspection by the jobbers will reveal
a lack of frmness and the can will rot
pour out we'll. All in all this season
has had many set-backs.
The labor situation has not given
so very much trouble, the tables at all
the canneries being generally well
supplied with peelers. One serious
interruption occurred this week when
the N. Y. P. & N. R. R., put on an
excursion to Ocean City. The work.
ers quit for the day, and the force did
not all put in an appearance the fol-
lowing day. The loss occasioned by
this holiday ran up into the thou
sands.
Since the interests of the railroad
are closely allied with those of the
farmer and Gamer, it might appear
somewhat injudicious to arrange such
an outing for the colored folk, wher
the road authorities must know that
perishable stuff is awaiting the hand.
ling.
Some difficulty has been experienc.
ed in the prompt receipt of cans, one
packer having a car load held up, ant
his stock running very low. Many
drawbacks have occurred, but prob
ably the Gamer has not had any more
obstacles to overcome than many an.
other man in the commercial world.

The heavy steel girders in the big
store of Henry w. Callahan & Sons
were placed in position this week, and

ideal place of business. 1t is as wide
as the two rooms on the same lot be-
fore the fire-occupied by Miss r.
Belle Wilson and Harry B. Shaw, and
its width is going to make an ideal
room for the display of merchandise
The interior arrangement is modelled
somewhat after the plan of the Yea
sey building, now occupied by the Cal
lahans, but will include many more
conveniences. The outside will, nc
doubt compare with any on Market
street.

proved in recent years, and makes a

seems at present to be problematical.
Developments will be rapid probably
in the next few days.
George w. Bunting, VIM. H. Dry

the delights of brand-new house.
These buildings are all modern in
construction, conveniently arranged,

dwellings,.
Out Market streetway, the Powell
property recently sold is awaiting the
improvement which seems soon to be
started. AS stated previously in these
columns, Godfrey Child and Allen P.

and contemplate erecting homes. This
corner lot has been divided into three
lots and the third one has not been
disposed of as yet.
R. F. Taylor's new house will soon
be relieved of the obstruction adjoin-

ed, allowing the new one better sur
roundings.

HACERSTOWN WINS
FINAL GAME OF THE
FIVE-STATE SERIES
Cambridge Defeated At Baltimore
In Hard-Fought Contest By
Score Of IL To 10.
SERIES AS A WHOLE
DREW LARGE CROWDS

Hagerstown wins the "Five-State"
base ball pennant, taking the seventh
game of the post season series at
Oriole Park, Baltimore, last Thurs
Gay, by the score of IL to 10.
The teams had tied the count at
Sail before this contest, Hagerstown
winning two out of three games on
her home grounds; and Cambridge did
the same thing when the scene of ac-
tion was transferred to this side of
the Bay.
The series, as whole, has not been
an exhibition of high-class base ball.
The most conspicuous feature has
been the weakness of the pitchers.
Streleckie and Zubris seem to have
been the only two to go the distance
in any game, and the others, have
shown lamentable flops at some stage
of the game.
Outside of the Baltimore game, re-
ports of which did not reach the
DSiHOSioC III CAiiiC 1OI puUiiCdClOIl,
Cambridge outbatted and ou.felded
Hagerstown, and yet, to many, the
Western Shore boys seemed the
stronger aggregation. In the pitch
ing department, Streleckie and Glass
probably showed best, and for Hag-
erstown, Zubris and Hendricks. In
hitting, We're batted for a percent
age of .440; and Glass, for the East
crn Shoremen stacked up .418. In the
seven games, the whole Cambridge
team rolled up composite batting
per centage of .271 against .233 for
Hagerstown. In fielding, Cambridge
presented 900 against .946 for Hag-
erstown.
The attendance on the Shore has
far excelled that on the Western, and
the receipts, with fair crowd in Bal
timore may knock out the record for
both attendance and receipts.
Since the players do not share in
the receipts of any games after the
fourth, each player on the Hagers-
town team will receive SITS as his
share, and each Cambridge man, $f19.
The total receipts for the four games,
were $7,320.50 From this had to be
deducted the shares of each league,
each club, and the pay for the UNI
pires.
The post season series between the
winners of the Blue Ridge and the
Eastern Shore League now stand a
tie-2-all. During the four years of
organized ball on the shore Martins
burg beat Parksley in 1922; Dover
walloped Martinsburg in 1923; Parks
ley came back at Martinsburg in 1924;
and this year the result is known.
Prospects on the Shore for 1926, at
present, do not look the brightest for
some of the teams. Crisfeld, Cam
bridge and Dover, are making COM
plants on the ground of a lack of
patronage. Salisbury, Parksley, and
Easton Jared best in that direction,
and, perhaps, by the sale of players,
all may come through and be ready
to answer the call when the spring of
next year arrives.

this was a clothing booth in which
two girls demonstrated the proper

monies and so on. Through the cour-

they were right on their toes. Girls

and they knew how to do it, too.
One of the many thousands of visi-

the week expressed her delight in the

The boys from many counties had

The boys from one county alone, took

FLAT Scent FARE
DECLARED RU|N0US
Its Abolition Saved Day for
Electric Railways of Ma
lion, Rail Head Says.
By the Associated Press.


WELLESLEY, Mass. October .
The elimination of the ill-conceived
scent fare is the most important
step that has been taken in the in
dustry, and is an indication of the
public's "keener appreciation of the
value of the electric railway in the
economic life of the country" declared
Charles +. Thompson, vice president
OF the Chicago, North Shore and
Milwaukee Railroad. in an address
on The Traction outlook" before the
twelfth annual business conference at
Bahson Park here today.
Compared with the situation five
years ago. he said, the outlook for
electric railways is optimistic.
The ill-conceived universal scent
fare has been eliminated" declared
Vice President Thompson. save in a
few instances where it is kept alive
for political reasons. a fiat rate of
fare was an economic error. but so
firmly and universally was it eStab-
lished that it almost wrecked the
industry to abolish it. The abolition
of the scent fare marks a forward
step. In fact. the most important
step that has been taken in the in
duStry, because it places the price
OF transportation service on a sound
economic footing, based on the cost
of production, instead of being a mere
matter of custom or convenience.
Discussing the future of the cleo
trio railway, Nh Thompson said:
The success of the traction COM
panieS, generally speaking, will be
measured by the degree to which the
mana gers realize their responsibilities
to the public and take advantage of
the opportunities offered them. The
public wants speed and comfort in
travel and the company which goes

will be successful y
