For Basket Ball Cup In

AS a result of the finals. in the
basket ball tournament held in this
city on Wednesday, Thursday and Fri
day, of last week, Company L, Nation

field, Delmar and Crisfield eliminat-
ed their opponents.
On Friday evenings finals, Girls.
field and Delmar faced each other.
Delmar made a splendid showing in
the first half, the score showing one
point lead for the DelaWareans. In
the second half however, Delmar was
able to score only points while Girls
field went wild and Tailed %.
This score returned the Crisfield
Guards as winners of the handsome
cup, first prize; and a smaller one fol
Delmar, as runner-up. The Tourna'
ment was quite successful in every
way. The large attendance each night
contributed to the financial end; the
rivalry Of the clubs brought out Wig
orous roofing from their supporters
and the quality of basketball played
was quite satisfactory. The affai
will probably, become an annual sport
ing event in Pocomoke.

LOCAL SCHOOLS COMPARED
WITH STATE ATTENDANCE

From a comparative point of view,
the attendance in the schools Of Wor-
cester shows up very we'll indeed, dur
ing the months of September, October,
November and December 1884; and al
so when the month of January 1885
is compared with the same month in
1884, this comparison being with all
the other counties in the State.
In comparing Worcester with the
other counties, during the January
1885 attendance, the white high
schools stand No. on the list, and
only IL points from first place, held
by Allegany. The elementary schools
are listed as No. 9 amongst % coun-
ties, and only 4.3 points below first
place, also held by Allegany.
In the four months of 1884, named
above, the averages of Worcester
schools of all kinds We're better than
for 1885; but so were those of all
the other counties, consequently the
relative standing was not, necessarily
improved thereby.
In the month Of January 1885, the
colored high schools of Worcester led
all the other counties in the state with
percentage of 95.5 and in the four
months of 1884 under notice, the aver
ages were higher than for 1885, show
ing their standing to be good last
year. The colored elementary schools
ranked No. 10, in the % counties,
Queen Anne county leading this
group.

THE DANGEROUS DESERT

Desert tragedies from lack Of water
are more or less familiar news to news
paper readers, even though they may not
live in proximity to the desert Tragic
danger from too much water, in areas
which are supposed to have no water at
all, are not SO well known generally,
even among those who may have lived
for some time in the dry country.
Unless one has seen the phenomenon,
If is almost impossible to comprehend
the swftness with which a dry water
course can become raging torrent, nor
the terrific force which it generates.
The tragedy at Dragon, Arizona yes
terday, indicates the ferocity of desert
waters on the rampage. A heavy bus
with more than score of passengers,
caught in the path of flood waters, was
knocked about as though it were chip,
the passengers were tossed into the
seething torrent, with a loss of four lives.
Survivors told of the almost incredible
force of the water which made attempts
to save their lives a real battle in which
only the strongest could survive.
The loss of life would undoubtedly
have been much greater had not the
driver, familiar with the ways of the
desert, stopped his bus on high ground,
believing it to be a safe spot, while he left
the car to examine the highway ahead
Even though he had reason to believe
the stopping point was safe, wall OF
water Is feet high, which even a person
experienced in desert ways could hardly
expect, swept down and submerged the
bus.
Those caught in storms on the desert
should not hesitate about making for the
highest ground at the least sign of dan
ger, and if there is no high ground at
hand, they had best speed up their cars
if they are fortunate enough to have one,
and get to safety even though that
means back tracking on their journey.
AS for the few travellers on foot who
tackle the desert, they are most likely to
be out of luck if a storm should break.
Desert storms seldom last very long,
but in brief period they have tremend-
Gus potentiality for death and destruc-
ton.

up. Then I'll get him!"
THAT doesn't sound so good, P"
said Uncle Wiggily listening at the
bottom of the hole. Il can't stay
here forever and there's no telling
how long that Bob Cat will stay
up there on top of the ground
waiting for me. I'm in trouble all
right! 1 wish he'd go away"
But the Bob Cat didn't. He twid
died his Whiskers and sat at the
edge of the hole, waiting shifting
and saying: "Ill stay here all
night! I'll get Uncle Wiggily yeti"
Dear me! What am I going to
do?" thought the rabbit gentleman.
4 guess I'd better start digging a
tunnel at the bottom of this hole,
If I can dig a tunnel long enough
I can come up to the top through
new hole that III dig and I'll be
far enough away from the hole
where the Bob Cat is waiting so
that he won't see me. I'll do it,"

UNCLE WIGGILY IN TROUBLE

Uncle Wiggily was hopping
through a field of clover very fast.
The rabbit gentleman was hopping
along with leaps and bounds, faster
than he had ever hoped before in
all his life.
Uncle Wiggily was out of breath
and very tired but he dared not stop
hopping.
II must keep on! I must keep
on!" he said, breathing hard. He
is coming closer and closer. Oh, if
I could only find hole in which
to hide! I haven't time to stop and
dig one. I wish could find
hole!"
Just then. all of a sudden, the
rabbit gentleman stumbled and
fell. He fell at the edge of a deep
hole and slid down into it just in
time. For, no sooner was Uncle
Wiggily down in the hole (Which
was an old one dug by a wood
chuck than the Bob Cat came rae
ing along overhead, his whiskers
curling. And the Bob Cats silly
little tail was twisting around like
a whirligig.
Safe
Thank goodness I'm safel' Whis-
pered Uncle Wiggily, crouching
down at the bottom of the dark
hole. I don't believe the Bob Cat
can find me down here. He may
smell me but he can't dig me out
for the Bob Cats paws aren't made
for digging as are my paws or the
paws of the grounding or the paws
of a mole. I think I'm safe"
Uncle Wiggily kept very quiet
and listened. Up above, at the top
of the hole where he was hidden
he could hear the Bob Cat walking
around, mewing to himself and
snarling as he said:
Missed him again! I never car
seem to catch that rabbit! But ]
know he's down in that hole. ]

DIFFICULTY in HANDLING BLAMED
FOR FATAL CRASH OF RACE PLANE

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 80 tUP) -
Cecil Allen, contesting today in the
S12,5OO Bendix air derby from Los
Angeles to Cleveland, was killed
three miles from the starting point,
Union air terminal.
Life was crushed from the trans
Pacific flyer when his barrelbodied
Gee Bee T. crashed in a potato
field in Van Nuys, just few min
utes after he headed its nose to-
ward the east.
Allen was the last of nine star
ters in the annual BendiX classic
and his take-off was delayed be-
cause of trouble with his fuel tank.
His ship was considered the fast
est in the race and also the most
difficult to handle.
That the plane struck with ter
rifle force was demonstrated by the
fact that wreckage was streWn over
the field for 100 yards.
Aliens body was pinned in the
wreckage and could not be freed
lAilllltAtAabCAgs
Residents in the vicinity report
ed they were awakened by the ter
rifle roar of the motor of Aliens
craft.
Then the motor was killed, Allen
apparently sensing he was going to
crash. His shutting off the engine
prevented fire but failed to save
him.
The flyer had taken off in the
half light at 5:18 a. m. after the
fuel trouble held him up for nearly
an hour
The tanks had been loaded to the
top and it was discovered that gas
oline was being pulled from them
by a vacuum created by the propel-
lor, field attendants said.
Irked at the long delay ~ get
