DETROIT WINS
1885 CLASSIC
OF DIAMOND
Wins From Chicago Nationals
Monday, Making Four Out
OF Six Victories
MICKEY COCHRANE A
FORMER SHORE PLAYER

The 1885 baseball World Series
games ended on Monday last with a
victory by Detroit, of the American
League, over Chicago, of the National
League, by score of to 8. The
champion Detroits, had previously de-
feated the Chicagoians three games
making four wins out of seven, the
number required.
The fine pitching Of Tommy
Bridges for Detroit was largely re-
sponsible for Detroit's success. In
the last game, there was one of the
finest exhibitions of twirling by this
moundman as has ever been seen. In
the first half of the ninth inning, with
a Chicago man on third base, and no.
body out, Bridges disposed of the next
three men in order, and the player
died on the hot corner.
Bridges was also responsible fol
the first win Of the Detroits. School
boy" Rowe, won the next one as re-
lief pitcher; Crowder, the veteran
placed the next in the win column
Rowe lost the fifth game, and Bridges
came back to land the prize with his
fine work.
Dertoit went wild over the victory
and celebrated until the "wee sma
hours" of the morning. 1t is reported
that every member of the Detroit
team was presented with Ford car
except Mickey Cochrane, the manager
and he received a Lincoln for his
which is, of course, a Ford manufac-
ture.
The series was hard fought and
possessed what the sportsmen calls
color. With~the exception of the 3-e
game, won by Detroit, the scores were
all close and, time and time again, the
lead seesawed between the two teams.
Detroit proved the steadier of the two
clubs and finally won from the youth
full players of the Windy City.
Sympathy of Eastern Shoremen
was largely with the Detroit club be-
cause of Cochrane's connection with
it. Cochrane was one of the players in
the Eastern Shore League, which was
formed on this side the Bay and which
lasted for several years.
The excitement of the Series will
soon die out, and owners and managers
will begin to look forward to the sea-
son of 1886.

POCOMOKE SOCCER TEAM
DEFEATED in SOMERSET

In playing Soccer last Friday, Oc-
tober a, with Princess Anne, POGO
moke was defeated four to ito. The
game was played on the Princess Anne
High School field. 1t seemed to be
fast and close game, the two teams
being about evenly matched.
The only goal made by Pocomoke
was kicked by Floyd Joynes, in the
first half of the game.
Norman Allen, who has just recently
been elected captain of the team, SEEM
ed to be the outstanding player of the
day. He made many brilliant plays
during the game. All the boys played
hard and really gave the Princess
Anne team something to worry about.
It was good, hard game and both
teams are to be congratulated on their
fine playing.
The line up for Pocomoke was as
follows: Center, Jesse Matthews, right
in side, Earl Allen; right wing, John
Powell, left inside, Norman Allen; left
wing, Eddie Bowen; center half back,
Fred Hope; right half back, Raymond
Dryden; left half back, Ralph Ards;
full back, Edwin Dubose and Floyd
Joynes, and goal was played by Earl
Wilson.
Richard Merrill and James Hill were
the only substitutions made for POGO

KIDNAPPER OF
LINDBERCH BOY
IS CONDEMNED
Supreme Court OF New Jersey
UphOlds Death Sentence
Of Lower Body
DEFENSE MAY APPEAL
TOU. S. SUPREME COURT

More than three years after the dis
covery of the dead body of the little
kidnapped son of Col. and Mrs. Charles
A. Lindbergh-a kidnapping which STIR
red the world to it's depths
Richard Hauptman, a German carpen-
ter, has been adjudged guilty of the
crime of kidnapping and murder; and,
according to an opinion handed down
by the highest court of the State of
New Jersey, Hauptman must die; this
decision having been rendered on We'd
nesday of this week.
All the points presented by the de-
tense. in its effort to secure new
trial, were turned down by the Court
of Errors and Appeals. It had been
contended that the prisoner had been
deprived of his constitutional rights;
that the trial was "circus;" that the
General had been brusque !;
and that the location of the trial had
not been properly selected, all were
ruled against, and the ruling was
unanimous.
Throughout the entire proceedings
of this case Hauptmann has evidenced
the phlepmatic nature of his race; has
sternly denied his guilt; and has no
doubt, had hopes of a favorable ver-
dict. Not once had his stolidity
been broken, but when the verdict of
the higher court was made known to
him, he was visibly affected, and, for
the first time, showed the strain he
had been under.
There is not much doubt but what
he will pay the extreme penalty, altho'
it now seems an appeal will be made
to the Supreme Court of the United
States. Either that or plea for COM
mutation of the death to one Of life
imprisonment, or an appeal to the
lower court for a new trial, inasmuch
as the claim is made that consider
able new and important evidence has
been secured.
The Errors and Appeal Court thor
oughly reviewed the states evidence,
and declared that conviction was ines
capable. The ladder construction, the
ransom notes, the reception of the
ransom money, the apparent prosper
ity of Hauptmann after the kidnap-
ing, and before he claimed to have
found the money he said was left in
a shoe box by his friend, Fisch, who
died in Germany; and other items Of
the States case, were all taken up at
length and passed upon making a
decision of guilt inevitable.
This case has been one of the most
noted in the annals of American
crime. Various opinions have been
vouchsafed as to the guilt or inno-
cence of the condemned man, and
many people have held to the idea Of
an inside job, in which the babes
nurse was thought to have been con-
cerned. The evidence, Of course, has
been almost entirely circumstantial,
but, it has been argued that this sort
of testimony is frequently the strong
est, and that no mistake has been
made.
The country will look with interest
upon the future progress of this no
table case.

STEEL MILLS SET.
STILL SL0WERPA
Demand Continues to Drop,
Along With Scrap Prices,
During Week.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 20-Iron Age
found steel demand still receding, and
scrap prices shrinking, in its weekly
survey today.
But, it said, Whether the decline in
business reflects actual reduction in
consumption or merely mirrors the
growing conservatism of buyers can
not be answered definitely at this juno
ture."
This steel authority said that thus
far the automobile industry. premier
consumer of steel, has not pared down
its ambitious production programs for
March and April, but it is increasingly
apprehensive that retail demand will
react unfaverably to the numerous po-
litical and industrial disturbances of
the day"
Iron Age estimated steel ingot pro-
ducticn at Al per cent of capacity,
compared with 4712 per cent a week
ago, and its composite price for steel
scrap had receded to $10.83 ton from
SILT last week.
The survey pointed to the recent re-
ports of the N. r. A. and the Federal
Trade Commission stirring up again
the controversy over the industry's
basing point system of price making
as "the most disconcerting Of recent
developments.
Tin plate was said to be bright
spot, with output rising from rs to S5
per cent of capacity. Sheet mill out
put dropped from rs to 10 per cent of
capacity.
The weeks lettings of structural
steel were placed at 45.800 tons, the
largest since the first week of May,

COURT APPROVES
SEAbOARD PLANS
Refunding Expected to Save
About $500, 600 a Year
in Interest.
By the Associated Press.

NORFOLK, Va, March 20.-Re-
funding plans whereby the Seaboard
Air Line Railway will save approx
mately 100000 year in interest on
its outstanding obligations were ap-
proved yesterday by Judge Luther B.
Way, in an oral opinion from the
bench in Federal District Court.
The refunding plans. in general, in
volve the reduction of interest rates
On approximately $28, 100000 in receiv-
ers and equipment trust certificates.
They represent almost six months of
negotiations between the receivers for
the railway and its creditors, most of
whom had agreed to the plans before
they were submitted to the court.
An expected opposition from many
OF the creditors failed to materialize.
With approximately 20 attorneys from
out of the State here to protect their
clients interests, rather than attack
ing the general refunding they chose
instead to ask for equal of special
privileges for various types of obliga-
tions.
From my study of the reviewer
Ship the judge stated on another
occasion, 'it looks as if it is going to
be difficult to make both ends meet"
The refunding period was author
lied for five years, during which time
1t is hoped the revenues of the road
will be sufficient to pull it out of the
hole. If there is no Improvement at
the end of this time. the Judge init
mated, a reorganization of the rail-
way likely will take place.
The agreement specified that no
outstanding mortgage may be fore
closed for five years. Edwin G. Baet-
ger. Baltimore attorney, chairman of a
committee representing the holders of
underlying bonds, told the court that
foreclosure at this time would de-
stroy the Seaboard system"
Appearing for a Minneapolis bank,
Attorney T. D. Savage of Norfolk
asked thsS the proposed interest rates
on the new securities be the same-the
proposed rates ranging from 2 to AZ
per cent.
