Powell Feud Week Old Now.

THEN. a week ago today, the Yanks
were in town and Powell ran
Kuhel down. According to the Griffs'
version. he autographed Joey's chest
with his spikes and then went to work
with hack saw After that he hied
off to second base and from there
scored the winning run.
There followed two days of showers
for Powell-showers Of pop bottles
thrown from the bleachers. None of
the throWers scored a direct hit which
was fortunate. 1t was fortunate for
the box office, too, that upward of
10000 turned ont in Washington the
day after the fight.
Yesterdays trouble occurred in the
sixth inning. after the Mats were hope
lessly beaten. Di Maggie had just
hit his second home run of the day
and Gehrig followed with another.
Then Dickey flied out and Powell
grounded to Lewis.
Lewis threw him out with plenty
to spare. Kuhel touched the bag
and then waited for Powell to run by
AS Jake did so it looked as If Kuhel
tried to give him the elbow.
Miles Steps Into Picture.
4 CCOUNTS vary on this point.
Some say that Powell again ran
into Kuhel; others that Kuhel went
ont of his way to hit Jake Anyway,
with the play completed, Kuhel began
to throw the ball around the infield,
apparently giving Jake no further
thought.
Miles gave warning yell as
Powell turned and bore down on
Kuhel. The first baseman turned and
they started to swing. Miles, in a
Hash. was on the spot and, wearing
all the catching paraphernalia except
a mask, the little fellow jumped on
Powell
Kuhel seemed to drop out of the
picture. The straining figures of
Powell and Little Miles were in the
spotlight. Then, as Jake flung Miles
to the ground, Harris appeared on
the scene and grabbed Powell by the
front OF his uniform, twisting it hard.
Order finally was restored and both
Kuhel and Powell elected from the
game. Umpire Cal Hubbard turned
his report IN to President Will Har-
ridge but not until noon today were
Powell and Kuhel expected to learn
whether they had been punished.
"Myer After Him"-Powell.
IN THE dressing room Kuhel denied
he had tried to punch Powell as he
ran out his grounder. II didn't even
know anything was wrong until Miles
yelled, look out behind you"
Powell claimed that earlier in the
game Buddy Myer had kicked at him
when he was forced at second base
'Then Kuhel tried to slug me-" he
said. And went for him"
Miles was hailed by the Mats as
the big little fighting man. Some
day" somebody cracked you'll md
yourself answering the bells on street
cars"
We'll. it won't be because of
Powell" snapped back Walt. He
won't do anything" Later Miles
got . great kick out OF the affair as
he recalled how he let Powell have
"A couple behind the ear"
Harris, as usual, was prominently In
the scene. He grabbed Powell and
Frankie Crosetti grabbed Bucky
Somebody stepped on Coach Earle
Combs foot. Il hope did," said
Millies.

AN ACCURATE "YARDSTICK,

A short time ago the Industrial
News Review queried country news
paper editors as to their opinions on
various phases of the electric util-
ity problem. One of the questions
asked was: "Do you favor municipal
ownership of power plants?" Over
$50 editors said No, as against about
300 replying in the affirmative. The
answers came from 48 states.
That these opinions reflect the
feeling of the public at large, has
been demonstrated by several recent
special elections on the Pacific
Coast.
Late in 1886, Yakima. Washington,
was cal led upon to vote on a pro-
posal to establish municipal power
distribution system, in order that it
might supply its residents. with
power from the Federal dams at
Grand Coulee and Bonneville. The
bill was defeated.
In February, Tulare. California.
held a special election to determine
whether the voters wished municipal
distribution of electricity. The meas
ure was defeated.
The following day, Fresno. Cali
fornia, one of the states leading cit
les, defeated a similar proposal.
Finally. on March 8. the city of
San Francisco, for the third time.
defeated bill providing for munich
pal distribution of electricity.
In all these elections, every re-
source at the command of the pub
lie ownership advocates was used to
persuade the electorate to their
views-and failed. During the past
three or four years, scores of SINH
lar elections have been held through
out the nation, and in the majority
of cases the voters have turned
down on municipal social
ism.
Replying to a second question
asked by the Industrial News Re-
view: DO you think hte electric in
dustry is giving good service?" 1,219
editors said Yes, Al No. The decis-
ions of voters at recent elections
show that editorial opinion on the
power question provides an accur-
ate "yardstick" of public sentiment. |

Work ON the Lewes Inlet, as far as
the dredging operations are con-
cerned. have been completed tenn
porarily, as the jetties being con-
structed at the mouth of the pro-
posed inlet are not finished, and the
dredging company are unable to
wait for their completion, which will
require many days. There is still
about 100 feet of marsh to dredge
before the bay is reached. and then
the channel must extend out in the
bay beyond the mentioned jetties.
This might mean a serious setback
to the local fishermen and the fish
ing party boats who have advertised
and planned on the new inlet for
their coming season. However, the
old entrance to the bay is still avail
able even if the run is longer, and
Lewes is looking forward to the
largest party fishing business ever
done in these waters.

Consequently, there is considerable

symptoms of the boom phase of
recovery are multiplying" said Busi-
ness Week. Strikes, higher wages,
higher prices, increasing productive
activity, reports of record earnings,
government efforts to curb security
speculation. optimism punctured
here and there with misgivings, are
making regular appearance on the
business bill of fare"
Principal industrial headlines are
being made by strikes and wage
boosts. Union leaders are finding
executives malleable and cOnciliatory
for example, New England shoe
plants recently acceded without
question to a demand for a Is per
cent wage raise. The steel industry
has likewise made friendly gestures
to the C. /. o. Reason, according to
the experts, is that practically all in
dustry looks forward to booming
business (steel and similar indus
tries are anticipating large govern
ment contracts as part of our pend
ing military build-up prOgram) and |
would rather boom wages than take |
a chance on plant shut-downs when |
orders are multiplying.
Business briefs of interest follow: |
Oil: Gasoline stocks are very |
high, but the industry is not worried |
because demand is substantially
higher than last year-which was a
good year.
Motors: Temporary elimination of
strikes from this industry has boost
ed production to near-record peaks.
The public's appetite for new cars
in the low and medium price groups
seems Unsuitable.
Agriculture: January farm cash
income was IA per cent above jan
uary, 1886. Outlook is good, with
price increases imminent This nat
urally cheers the big farm machinery
makers.
Retailing: Stores of all kinds are
flooded with business. The maga-
zine Retailing" says that stores are

TEXACO QUINT
GETS BACK AT
ACCOMAC FIVE
Beats Virginians In Second
Game By Score Of Twen-
Eight To Fourteen
POCOMOKE HIGH is ELIMI-
MATED BY SALISBURY

The Texaco basket ball quint took
sweet revenge on the Accomack High
School five. on Friday evening of last
week, on the floor of the Pocomoke
High School.
The first game between these two
teams resulted in an overwhelming
victory for the Virginians, but the Po-
comoke boys turned the tables in the
second, and came out victorious by the
score of % to IA.
Allen, who could not show his US
ual play in the first game, scored IL
points on Friday. Duncan followed
with 8; Levin chalked up 6, and Cut
Ter tailed 3. The line up was: Allen,
and Levin, forwards, Duncan and Han
cock, guards; Cutler, center; and Lit
Teton and Powell, substitutes.
For Accomac, Ayres led with 6
points, and Parker, Holland, Parks
and Hayden, each 2.
Wooder was substitute.
On Tuesday evening of this week
the Texaco boys journeyed to Girls
field, met the High Schol boys of that
city in State Armory, and were de-
feated by points, the score being,
Crisfield %; Texaco "a. All the
points for Pocomoke were made by AL
len and Levin, the former scoring 16
and the latter, 8. Others Of the line
up were Cutler, Powell, and Littleton.
Duncan and Hancock, two of the reg
ulars were unable to make the trip.
For Crisfield, the scoring was well
distributed. Tawes made 6, Slant, 8,
Tawes 2, Hoffman, IL, Todd 8, Lamb
den, substitute, 2. Catlin, another
sub did not score.
The Pocomoke City High School
was eliminated from the State Bas-
ketball Championship by Salisbury on
Wednesday evening of this week, the
game being played on the floor of
the Snow Hill High School building.
The score was Salisbury 35; POGO
moke, 20, difference of points.
Pocomoke had previously won the
county championship and eliminated
Crisfield from the state championship.
They have had a very satisfactory
season, and much of their success has
been due to the able coaching of Prof.
Edward Merrill of the Industrial Arts
Department.
