Bulldogs, Colonials, Blues, and Bulls.
 Geological names, covering the range from Ants to Elephants, names with color prefixes embrac- ing all shades of the rainbow, and names symbolic of Boston and Bay State history predominated among those recommended. Many contri- butors sought to honor members of the Braves family by calling the club the Adamites, Rabbits, Berger Belters, Quinnines, or Quintuplets. A number even sent crank letters suggesting that the club be called the Hamburgers, Lemons, Aspirins, Pill Boxes, Tanks, Cellarites, Wrecks, Snakes, or Polecats.

Time studiers vs scheduIers

The nip and tuck battle for second place has not been settled between these two teams because the Time Studiers took three points away from Hughes Schedulers. George Hughes did all he could to stop the Time Studiers but 1t seemed to be of no avail because the Time Stud iers were just strong enough to win the last two games and pinfall. Maybe the Schedulers ought to re- organize their outfit and see what will develop. The Time Studiers by virtue of, this victory. move into sec- ond place only one point from the Schedulers who are in third place. George Hughes was high scorer for the losers with $50 and Malcolm Palmer, Q substitute, was high for the Time Studiers with 315.

THE WAX ON THE ALLEYS

Harry "45" Ryan was not 50 lucky as that night in Oakville when he took home everything except the bell in the steeple; having only 2S4 pins for his efforts, a far cry from his 46 playing ability.
 And Gelbogis continues to slay them. He had . charming feminine rooter sitting on the players bench for . large part of the evening.
 And Bares, no less, doing Q Gillis, Qelbogis act when he had Q femin- inc rooter watching him oil night. That probably accounts for his ec- centric bowling and wild five boxes.
 Maybe the girls are starting . little propaganda for . coupled ban- auet. More worries.
 There was . fellow named Barrett, Who lived all his life in . garres,
 Each Monday at eight
 And always quite late As for being on time, not Barrett.
 If you don't like 1t, we will leave the last linc for you to fill in; and perhaps offer as Q prize for the best last line, 0 good strike ball.
 Next Sunday, February 2. at St. Josephs' alleys we have Q @S-man match against the Farrell Foundry, the match to star at 3 ?. m. So be around, we will see you there.

The Specialties are still on their rampage and took 4 more points from Quinlans Paymasters. We are beginning to understand and at last realize why the Specialties are ct the top and far ahead of the rest of the league. They get all the lucky breaks which certainly is to their credit. Hale tried to bring the sec- ond game home for the Paymasters, finishing up with Q double strike but 1t was to no avail. Frank John: son was high scorer for the Spe- cialties with 328 and Brandely was high for the Paymasters with 307.

Hits and Bits from Here and There

 Fred Wooster, after rolling Q game last week with 3 strikes in 1t with out his glasses, thought he would try 1t out tonight but 1t didn't do him much good because he landed on the scrub team this week. May be he was seeing only 5 pins in- stead of 10.
 There are only two men on the scrub team this week which makes us feel happy and also to note that the bowlers in this league are be- ginning to show their true selves. We think, that, at this rate, 1t won't be long before we will have to omit the scrub team entirely.
 Our league leading bowler "Swede" Ericson certainly can put the ball where he wants to because he is the proud possessor of a new Aigar, We wonder why J. Johnston has

,gether. Dunphy is being pressed by Higgiston, Loftus, and Carroll in a mad scramble for second place. However, there are nine weeks left and we expect the teams to finish as follows: Driscoll, Carroll, Dun- phy, in the order named. So step up and collect your prizes. We also think that all the individual marks will get blasted off the books, so don't go spending your money.
 To get back to last Monday night. Loftus got cleaned up three games by Driscoll in what might be called "Butch, Director of Sports" DevitO night. The hard working "MaM Mountain gave quite an exhibition of pin toppling when he hit 338 sticks for the Loftus combine. His first ball was hitting the pocket ell night and left hi mwith spare leave after spare leave. Had YanOl Car- roll and L0ftus hit more than 3OB and 302 1t would have been another story. Eddie was missing the head pin more than hitting 1t, and Car roll tossed . fe wmOre balls over the pins, especially during the 86 game. The DrlscoIlltes were all in form; w. Delaney had 332, "02 Average" Passaro 334, and Magro 352. They had Q total of 1637 pins for three games, enough for clean sweep in Q lot of places.
 Dunphy won two from w. Carroll in a battle for second place. The honors were even all around. "Danil" Manseau had 339 against Willie Carroll's consistent chcpping which helped the Dunphy clan no end. The clan lost the second game when Bares himself" got shellacked by Il. II. S." DeBiase.
 r After giving the pins . personal inspection, Devine took three from Higgy, who had but three men. The "Jaspers" were hitting them in the 800 bracket and deserved to win. It's too bad that they don't hit them against competition; their easy vic- tory has put them i'm striking posi- ton of second place.

BUSINESS MEN
in THIS CITY
TO ORGANIZE
Thirty-One Take Membership In
The Proposed Business
Mems Association
ROGER w. LANDLORD
IS ELECTED PRESIDENT

Forty-three bushes men of POGO
moke responded to the call for din
ner-conference at the Parker House on
Wednesday evening, the object being
to organize Business Mems Associa-
ton.
After luncheon served by the new
hostess, Mrs. Belle Whyte, Godfrey
Child, Esq, was called upon to state
the object of the meeting. He exc
planned clearly there was an opinion
prevalent that somewhat different
body, from those already existing in
Pocomoke was necessary to further
the business interests of the city, that
this gathering was for the purpose of
organizing such body. He then went
on to enumerate some of the projects
which were imediately pressing in or
der that Pocomoke might not suffer,
the principal one being the improve
ment of the piece of road extending
from the bypass at Dryden's Mill to
the city limits, explaining that this
section of highway leading into POGO
moke should be made as attractive as
the one leading away from Pocomoke.
Following Mr.. Child, Senator M. L.
Veasey was called upon to give some
information as to road improvement
probabilities. Senator Veasey stated
that the big disability under which the
Sta : Rosds Commission was laboring.
under was The lack of money. How
ever, assurance had been given that
this stretch of road was under con-
sideration and he felt sure would be
improved. On the subject of road
building, he also stated that progress
had been made on the proposition to
build an entire new road from West
over to Pocomoke under a new allo-
cation, since the present highway had
deteriorated almost to the extent of
not being amenable to repair. The.
Senator also touched on the matter
of grade crossings.
Mr.. Phillip Scher then made an ap-
peal for the proposed Association, af-
ter which Mr.. Roger w. Landlords
name was presented as nominee for
President of the new body. There be-
ing no other nominee, Mr.. Landlord
was elected by reclamation. Mr.. Jas
R. Tilghman was elected secretary
treasurer. Mr.. Landlord, taking the
chair, announced that a subsequent
meeting would be held when the or
ganization would be more thoroughly
effected-by adoption of constitution,
appointment of committees, and other
routine business.
Cards were distributed among those
present to be signed as signifying an
intention to become members of the
Association; thirty-one signed up.
President Landlord will call an early
meeting at which it is urged that all
be present. The Association bids fair
to become most influential body and
should receive unbounded and ener-
getic support.

PARENTS SHOULD
ADVISE SAFETY
FOR CHILDREN
Fad Of Bicycling Is Exposing
Riders To Dangerous Traf-
fic On Public Highways

The pastime of bicycling seems to
have taken on an unusual impetus in
Pocomoke, and the streets and side
walks are being used for the sport of
wheeling.
In the effort to have ga good time, %
the boys and girls are at times not
sufficiently regardful of existing dan
gers. Youth is ever unconscious OF
risks. The thoughtlessness of the
rilers was shown this week, when, ap-
parently, some of them tried to beat
the fire trucks to the scene where an
alarm had called the firemen.
Just how this situation is to be
relieved, it is not known, unless it be
that an appeal to the parents be
made who might give their sons and
daughters some good advice as to how
they should proceed so far as fire
trucks are concerned. The danger is
heightened in connection with that
sort of motor vehicle, since speed is
not limited and a youngster might
easily be run down.
The writer might add a word, too,
with regard to the general traffic.
This week, bicyclist made U-turn
in the middle of the street, and the
writer had to brake his car to a stand
still to prevent a collision. Parents
had better take the matter under con-
sideration.

Jealous Democrats say means, "Golng
Out Party"-has nominated two men
to lead the presidential fortunes.
whose names certainly indicate fight
ing qualities. If one of them should
fail to "Landon" you, the other one
comes in with his "Knox" and bowls
YOU overland they you are.
But, ever, no matter how
good YOU are landin' and knockin',
you've got to have somebody to be
there when you get in action. The
trouble with this dusky warrior, Joe
Louis, is that he has serious obJec-
lions to being on the receiving end'
when this landin' and knockin' are
going on. He prefers to reverse the
operation and do a little landin' and
knockin' himself. And believe you me,
up to the present time, he's done a
plenty and then some. Ask Camera,
Baer, Levinsky, ct al, if they ever
heard of the Ethiopian.
So when Mr.. Landon and Mr.. Knox
start business they'd better see wheth-
er there's any one in front of them
they can see and hit; otherwise, they
may get their blocks knocked off,
speaking politically. I've sneaking
notion, that in the near future, a
called meeting of the Unterrified
Democracy at Philadelphia will select
a man to go in training for the big
battle of ballots next November, who
will know how to land on Landon; and
to knock out Knox in true Democratic
style. Names don't mean nothin'.
You know the old adage a rose by
any other &c &c.
Speaking of a rose, reminds me of
Roosevelt. When he gets ready to
strike out, his blows won't be rose
leaves thrown at his political would
be clusters. Nor will his political fists
be padded with "felt," "velt", or any
other kinl of protection. He'll likely
do the landin' and knockin', regardless
of how those G. o. P.'s spell their
monikers. But political dope doesn't
always pan out. Old Man Weller
says Landon will defeat Roosevelt.
The jig's up, boys, let's go home!

FUNERAL OF MIR. POWELL
IS LARGELY ATTENDED

The funeral of J. Edwin Powell, who
died on Thursday of last week, was
largely attended on the Sunday fol-
lowing. He was victim of a par
alytic attack, succumbing five days
after he was stricken.
The deceased was the son of the
late Mr.. and Mrs. John White Pow
ell, and was born in this city on the
18th of January, 1871. He spent his
entire life here being engaged in mer-
camille ventures, although sometime
previous to his death, he was not in
active work.
His widow, who, before her mar
rage was Miss Essie Ross, Of POGO
moke, is the sole survivor of his i'm
mediate family. Funeral services
were held on Sunday, conducted by the
Rev. Arthur Hudson, of Smyrna, a
cousin. Interment was made in the
cemetery of the M. P. Church. The
pail bearers were five cousins of Mr..
Powell: Aaron, Moses, Charles, Frank
and William Hudson; and Drummond
Powell.
Mr.. Powell was one of the native
sons who hal lived to witness many
changes in his home town, and also
contributed to it's advancement. He
was a good citizen and will be missed
in the community.
