BILL OFFERED
TO DEFER DATE
OF AUTO TAGS
Would Put Off Purchasing Mo.
tor Vehicle Plates Till
March Thirty-First

On Monday last bill was introduce
ed in the House of Delegates by
Delegate Earl Bennett of Dorchester
County, deferring the registration of
motor vehicles to March 81. A SINH
lar bill was introduced in the Senate
by Senators Phoebus of Somerset
County and Davis of Caroline County.
Delegate Earl Bennett when inter-
viewed after introducing the bill had
the following to say regarding the
measure, "The bill which l introduced
this evening has three-fold purpose.
In my opinion the bill will have the
effect Of keeping motor cars running
during the winter time and thus will
result in an increase in revenue to the
state from the &c gasoline tax. The
bill will likewise aid industry in the
state by melting the frozen assets in
the form of laid up motor vehicles.
Last but most important is the help
which the bill will give to the motor
lists of Maryland by allowing them to
secure their tags at time other than
the most inconvenient time Of Christ
mas and the first of the year. l am
hopeful that my measure will receive
very favorable consideration.
81 had in mind changing the date to
July LIST and giving the motorists a
free six months registration but on
the other hand, in order that the state
would surely profit from the change
and because many motorists in Dor
chester County as well as other parts
of the State have informed me that
they would be well satisfied with
March 31st, l changed it to March 81.

LOCAL QUINT
WINS COUNTY
CHAMPIONSHIP
POcOmOke Defeats Snow Hill In
Play-Off But Loses To
Salisbury

Pocomoke High School defeated
Snow Hill, Friday night of last week
at the State Teachers College court
in Salisbury, 1921. The game was a
play-off for the Worcester County
Championship.
There was plenty of action through
out; spectacular shooting by both
teams and excellent defensive work
tain until the final minute of play.
In the first half the game develop
ed into see-saw affair, first one team
taking the lead and then the other.
Opening the second half, Pocomoke
euint got off to a good lead but Snow
Hill soon found the range of the net
and the game became repetition of
the first half. However, in the last
quarter with two of the regular Snow
Hill players out of the game by the
way of the foul route, the local team
put on pressure and took the lead,
holding it until the final whistle blew.
The Sow Hill defense used two men
guarding Matthews, the Pocomoke for
ward; this left the center, Paul Mer-
rill, out in the open and he came thru
with some nice push shots under the
basket. Eddie Ross stuck in couple
Of nice long shots. Allen and Pow
ell played their best game of the year
both defensively and extensively
Though the Pocomoke boys are
small, yet they are well coached and
play heads up basket ball. Their
coach Mr.. Gum deserves a lot of
credit.
Since the above game, the local high
school quint met the Salisbury school
quint in an elimination contest for
the championships of the Eastern
Shore.
Pocomoke lost the game by the
score of Fl to IL. The locals could
not get to clicking against the Wico-
mico lads, as they did during the
Worcester seasons schedule, and so
were eliminated. The winner of the
Shore championship will play the
champions of the Western Shore for
State honors.

The new King of England, Edward

they boboed up at Jack Curley's Long

breakfast from the wrestling i'm

Mr. Curley hotIy denies the
breakfast consisted of aspirin
and water.
Il never said that" he insists. 1T
wouldn't be a nice thing to say about
a man like that, and besides. it
wouldn't be true. The breakfast was
fruit and toast and coffee, and the
prince liked it. He's a wonderful

GO FOR GUN TROPHIES
Arlington Dairy Cups Await Two
Most Consistent Winners.

With the final February shoot, the

compiling the most wins. Competition
has been carried on for some months
in a sliding handicap arrangement at
Is targets each Saturday

were penalized yards for the follow
ing weeks competition, with "a yards
the maximum. The trophies are
given in addition to the regular
weekly club trophy, which is awarded
on the first so targets of the weekly
program.

Red SOx, Mats Plan Shifts.

THE Red Sox and Nationals both
have shifts in mind for their 1885
regulars, Bill Werber and Cecil Travis.
Two seasons ago Werber looked the
hashiest third sacker in the league,
but he slumped and may get an out
field trial, with Eric McNair taking
over the hot corner. Travis is slated
to do Washington's shortstopping, but
this depends on the ability of a
rookie, Buddy Lewis, to make good
at third.
Red Rolfe will be the Yankees third
baseman again unless deal for Frank
Higgins of the Athletics is revived. In
that case Rolfe might be shifted to
second base and the AS would pull an
other third sacker out of the hat, like
AL Niemiec or Lamar Newsome.
