Gilbert, Burns, Murray, Merkle,
Fletcher, Devlin, Mccormick, Bower

McGraw played third base for the OPP
posing team, and on this were such
men, as John Evers, Roger Bresna-
han, Joe Kelley, Rube Marquard, Fred
Tenney, Fred Clark land others. The
game must have had humorous side,
as McGraw in his accumulated. weight
cavorted around third. The game
was a preliminary one to the exhibi-

Americans. 1t was won by the Mat

The Athletics, Of the American Base
Ball League are q hoodoo for the New
Yorks, and bear out what the Demo-
crat said in its issue of Saturday last
viz, that the "Yanks" are about the
only team they can consistently beat.
BY reason Of taking double-header
on Tuesday from the leaders, the Ath-
letics rested in second place for just
one day; then rain prevented game,
and the. Chicagos threw them into
third; at this writing, only four and
onerhalf games separate them from
sixth place. Some of their big hitters,
like Simmons and lamar, are not
stinging the ball as they did last year,
and unless they take a brace, the
Athletics are destined for second di-
vision place.

Newly Elected Rotary
Officers Assume Office

+ I -
The officers of the Pocomoke City
Rotary Club, who were elected in
April, assumed the duties Of their
offices last Monday evening. These
were: President, Colmore E, Byrd
vice-president, E L. Bunce; secretary,
Roger w. Lankford; treasurer, j.
Francis Wilson. These, with M. L.
veasey, the retiring president, and
two newly elected members, William
IS. Bowen and Edward ]. Clarke, con-
stitute the Board of Directors.
These were elected in April, but the
date of their installation was postpon-
ed until July in order to have their irl-
cumbency coincident with the Rotary
International incoming officers.
President Byrd has not yet appoint
ed the different committees, but will
probably have the slate re;dy by the
next meeting. He will also report the
proceedings of the recent convention
at Denver.

Some sport writer's are of the opin.
ion that the United States will lose its
tennis supremacy in the near future;
that either japan or France will come
70 the front; with chances largely fav-
oring the latter. IAN
The reason for this, as stated, is
that American Colleges, where most
of tennis development takes place, do
not encourage contests except where
teams are involved. The individual
work of the tennis player does not ap-
peal to the American sport lovers, and
the game is allowed to languish. Foot
ball base ball. lacrosse, soccer, row.
ing, and perhaps the relay rac;ng. are
the principal athletics Of Amer :can
educational institutions.
The big tennis three il this country,
Tilden, Richards, and Johnson, seem
tc be slipping somewhat; while Boro-
ira, LaCoste, and some other Euro.
peSns are coming to the front. There
do not seem to be any ready yet to
take the place of Americas champ
ions, and no one would be surprised
to see the Davis Cup, the most priced
of tennis trophies cross the Atlantic
in the next tournament

NelO York In Grip OF

Interborough officials brought 400
motormen from Boston, Philadelphia,

strikers. A special train left Chicago
for New York, with recruits and with
additional men waiting to be picked

subway unless the "L" is more con-

Elaborate plans were made to pro-
vide transportation by surface cars,
ferries buses and trucks. Some 5000
policemen were assigned to strike
duty. The strikers who bolted from
the brotherhood of Interborough en-
ployes, the company union, to form
the new organization demand a fiat
rate at 81 per hour for motormen and
IS cents an hour for approximately a
20 per cent increase. The men work
seven days in the week. Motormen
are paid from $3S.64 to $40.92 per
week. Switchmen from $S2.48 to
$34.16, During the strike the COM
pany is paying 81 per hour and ex-
'penses.

1t is something unusual for the New
York base ball team to be occupying
a second division position in the Ma
tional League, at this time Of the
year; but such is the case ,and next
season McGraw may be depended up
on to rip his tea nfore and aft.
Speaking of McGraw one is remind

by the old-timers for the Christy Mat

of former. stars competed. One was
called the "Matty" team. These were
