ALONG THE WATERFRONT
BY Carroll KLOTZBACH.

water lover might desire and it is one
of the coolest spots in Washington dur
ing July and August. It has also the
great advantage of being very well pro-
tected from the northerly winds pre-
vailing in Winter.
0N our drive down to Compton, Nd,
~ on Breton Bay, Sunday we found
way reused from its Summer sleepiness
and wood smoke from 20 stove pipes
aboard as many dredger shipjacks in
the harbor lent spicy flavor to the
air.. Most Of these craft are from over
to the Eastern Shore: the crab season
being over, they are now busy dredging
oysters in this locality. There is a
considerable number Of Washington
craft Wintering here and around in
Ewells Cove. We hardly recognized
Clarence Halls Kestrel under her
Winter canvas. The Imatra, owned by
Frank Williams, is also here with Mr..
Sockets Who-ee. Our visit to these
parts assured US that the turkey situ-
alton is far from bad, the recent Wall
Street furry having no eff ,ct on the
supply. Evidently no one sold turkey
short. Driving bit farther we came to
st. Marys Just in time to hear a
hoarse hoot on the whistle and watch
the Talbot make the dock. The bang
ing Of the gangplank, the shouts Of
those engaged in tying her up and
loading and unloading freight, the
bawling of livestock hurried aboard for
the markets, and Jingle of the engine
room bells made q picture not easily
forgotten.

EARNSHAW LEAGUE

The once team has held the lead
in the B. b. Earnshaw a. Bro. Bowling
League since the third night, although
its margin has dwindled to one game,
due to two successive bad sets, in one
of which the Warehouse team copped
three games
After q poor start. the Warehouse
team upset the dope and won IA out Of
the last IS games, and in doing so set
up Q new high team game OF 557 and
high team set Of 1,545. McClary OF
Warehouse rolled 365 against once,
although one game was 101. The next
week McClary rolled 149 for high game.
The Salesmen's No. team started
by winning the first six games, but
through inability to always produce o
full team has slid to third place.
With Milburn rolling 316 the hrst
night, the Chauffeurs appeared forrnid-
able, but so far they have failed to
fulfill early promise.
The Salesmen's team No. 2 has not
been in the running from the start.
