when the winning ways are taken in
to consideration. Win or lose, the
fans were there and this is as it should
be. They are poor sports who are
satisfied only with victories. There
was one thing that kept up attendance
and that was the feeling that POGO
moke was as likely to win as to lose
The locals were dubbed by some the
jinx club of the League, by that being
meant it was always a menace, nc
matter whether it's opponent was at
the head or at the foot of the class.
Promoter Ehlers left Pocomoke OF
Wednesday of this week, without Civ
ing out much information as to his
plans for next year. About the only
thing he vouchsafed was that he
would return in 1888. There are
many rumors afloat about new play
ers, new managers, new and improved
fencing and seating, and altogether a
most encouraging outlook for the
1888 campaign.
At some other points on the Shore
the clubs are complaining of financial
losses; and there is talk of other
places being seen in the League next
year. Some of the weak spots have
turned out the strongest teams; but
they have not supported the clubs at
the gate. Milford, Delaware, has
been mentioned as a new member, and
Princess Anne has already sought a
franchise. The League is well-bal-
anced as it stands, and, if possible,
should remain in statu quo.

'Twasn't much of fight, seems to
me. Reminded me of some set-to's
I've seen across the way in some
chicken coops. One rooster would
conclude that there wasn't room
enough for that other male bird in the
same coop and they'd go to pecking
at one another, until their combs were
all bloody, but they weren't hurt very
much. And perhaps Louis did the
most pecking. That's about all there
was to it.

COUNTY HEADS
MEET TO MAP
LEGISLATION

ROCKVILLE, Md. Feb. 3.-Legis-
lative proposals of Statewide i'm
portance will be compiled into a
program for presentation to the
present session of the State legis-
lature, during meeting of the
Western Shore County Commits
sioners Association at Frederick,
Nd, tomorrow.
The delegation representing the
Montgomery County board will
urge the representatives of the
other 12 boards comprising the as
sociation to request a general re-
assessment of all real estate
throughout Maryland, and seek
their support in obtaining the
return of maintenance of county
lateral highways to the various
counties.
Proposals Approved
During a meeting Of the asso-
citation at Frederick several months
ago both proposals were approved
and it is believed the association
membership will reiterate its stand
during tomorrow's session.
The local commissioners pointed
out today that under the present
State law a general reassessment
will take place this year unless
action is taken by the general as.
sembly to postpone it. The re,
assessment is greatly needed, the
commissioners say, to equalize
the present real property values
some of which were placed during
the boom years when values were
high and others during the de-
preston years when values were
exceptionally low.
The meeting will be held in the
Frederick County Circuit Court
room beginning at l p. m.
Pensions Approved
Old-age pensions for February
totaling $4.O97.3O were approved
by the county commissioners dur,
ing a meeting here yesterday
While the entire amount is paid
by the county it receives reim'
bursement from the State for all
but $683.88.
Payment Of $2,358.27 to the
Montgomery County Social Service
League for care Of children during
the month Of January was ap
proved by the commissioners.
The commissioners were In
formed by town officials of Ken.

WHITE HOUSE
FLORAL MAGIC

Although partisans Of the
Roosevelt Administration have
claimed its leader capable Of as
sorted types of prestidigitation,
not until today did they suspect
the White House could handle
such magic as changing the color
of flowers.
The innovation in New Deal
"sorcery" popped up last night,
when the refrigerating system in
the White House florist room, To-
Gated near the swimming pool,
went on the blink and sprayed
chemicals around the adjacent
premises.
Workmen rushing to repair the
complicated machinery found that
blooms stored in the huge "ice
box" had undergone a metamor-
phosis through chemical action
Red roses had become white and
pink carnations were sporting
modiSh red and white colors.

|CKES FIGHTS
ANNEX PLAN

Renewing his fight on plans to
construct an annex to the Pan
American Building, on a plot be-
tween Constitution and Virginia
Avenues and Eighteenth and Nine
teenth Streets Northwest, Secre-
tary of the Interior Harold L..
Ickes today described the proposal
as planning crime"
Ickes said his opposition was
based on the dual theory that the
Pan-American Union has ample
space Of its own on which to build
the addition and that construction
just south of the new Interior
Building would obStruct the Con-
stitution Avenue view. Pointing
to the Pan-American grounds,
Ickes added:
'If they tore down that old
barn and the tin garage, they'd
have plenty of room for an an
mex"
Last week, the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission
approved the disputed site. If the
proposal persists, IckeS has threat
ened to seek White House aid.

During his first year as a Fed
eral employe he found the time
tt attend the Georgetown Univer-
sity legal school, and soon after
he shifted to Internal Revenue
he found himself full-fledged
attorney. His rise to supervisory
position was rapid and he is now
known as one of the most popular
personnel officers in the service,
affable and progressive, but vehe-
mently opposed to what he terms
"half.baked, radical ideas"
He enjoys fishing as hobby,
is a member of the ways and
