Big Harry Mason on first used to always tell him to Take it easy, Al" but when Almeida juggled one and had to throw fast to get his man, the ball would almost knock Mason's hand off?

 noon.
 The City league leadership will be decided this afternoon when the Burritts and Pirates come together on Diamond No. 1 at Walnut Hill park. Neither team has been defeat- ed yet this season, the Burritts smashing out three wins by their heavy hitting and the West Ends taking two on superior all-around ability and one by forfeit. This should easily be the best game of the afternoon and will start at 2 o'clock.
 The West Ends and Rangers, tied for third place, will meet on Dia- mond No. , at the same hour. the West Ends pitting their hitting against the clever defensive work of the Rangers.
 A new team, the Speedboys. will make its initial league appearance at o'clock on Diamond No. 1 when 1t meets the Robins. The Speed boys, who have been making quite a name for themselves In independ- ent games this season, have been awarded the berth in the league va cated by the Orioles, who were too busy with weekend dates to play baseball on Saturdays. The new entrants are a fast young team and should help make things interesting in the league, while their opponents, the Robins, have been showing steady improvement and will give them a tough battle for their first start.
 Kenneth Saunders, president of the league, has taken over the du- ties of secretary which were held by Abe Aronson, manager of the Ori- oles and he will serve in the both 1 for the balance of the 1 season.

LARGE GLASS FRONTS
SUFFER MUCH DAMAGE
Hargis' And Halls Windows Are
Broken BY Storm And
Burglarism

Storm and burglary played havoc
with plate glass in the windows OF
two Pocomoke City stores this week.
One Of the big plates in Hargis' De-
partment store, on the Clarke avenue
side, was blown in by the gale of
Tuesday; and on Wednesday might
some one smashed the window of w.
E.. Hall & Sons store window, and
extracted therefrom valuable gun,
this being the cunning season, the
temptation could not be resisted.
/. Hargis' store has been particularly
marked by disaster to its big glass
fronts. This latest loss counts the
third that has been blown out, and in
the storm of Tuesday another glass
in the front vestibule was cracked.
The act Of burglary committee at
Halls store was, of course, done
while Pocomole's night watchman
was elsewhere vandals taking
care Of that little precaution. Per-
haps the sufferers will be the recipi-
ents Of game from some mysterious
source as payment for the loss Of the
shooting iron. t !.

POCOMOKE HIGH SCHOOL
DROPS In ATTENDANCE
Figure. Show Poeonoke'. School
Last On List For Month
OF October

Pocomoke City High School slipped
in her attendance percentage for the
month of October, her marking being
92.7. This is not only the lowest in the
county, but is one whole point below
the county average.
OF course, 92.7 is not bad aver
age; but, comparatively, it shows the
local school as trailing the procession,
and that is just what it does not
want to do. Attendance upon High
school is not mere duty it is a priv
ilege, and Pocomoke boys and girls
should avail themselves of it.
The ranking for October shows
Ocean City leading with percentage
Of 95.4; Snow Hill next, 94.3; Berlin,
93.S; Stockton, 93.8, and Pocomoke
City 92.7; the county average being
9S.7. 1t is to be hoped November will
show better comparison.
In the Graded schools, Pocomoke is
again just within the average, and
stands fourth in rank with percent
age of 92.1. Bishopville heads the
list with 94.7; Snow Hill follows with
92.4; Berlin, with 92.3; Pocomoke
92.1, the average being 91.3. Ocean
City, Whaleyville, Stockton, and Cir
dletree follow in the order named
all below the average.
In the two-teacher schools, Taylor
vile is ahead with 94.3; and Pine
Grove is on top in one-teachei
schools, with 9S.3.
AS said so many times in these col.
vmns, attendance is Of vital import
ance to the advancement of the pu.
pill. Parents should make special ef-
fort and sacrifice to keep the boy and
girl going, and the results will more
than compensate for the pains taken
