Prediction and post-election ru-
mors, connecting the Hon. T. Alan
Goldsborough with an appointment to
Federal judgeship, seem about to
materiaIize, according to an article in
the press of Monday last. The ap-
pointment, it is said, will be made in
January, and, in that case, a special
election to name his successor will be
ordered by the Governor of the State
Herbert R. O'Conor, after giving due
notice of twenty days, as required by
law.
The court over which Mr.. Goldsbor-
ough may preside, is Washington
D. c., tribunal, and he will fill one of
two or three extra judgeships created
by the latest session of Congress. OF
course, as it's name indicates, the sort
of litigation coming before such
court, will be connected entirely with
Governmental proceedings. The sal
ary is said to be about $4,000 per
annum.
The Baltimore Sun, of Tuesday last,
had the following to say about the
matter:
"Although Mr.. Goldsborough early
this year toyed with the idea OF op-
posing Senator Tydings in the Sena-
torial primaries and although ne final
ly decided to seek reelection to Con-
gress, it has been no secret on the
Shore that he has been entertaining
judicial ASPIRATIONS for several years
and that persons in President Roose-
velt's favor have been urging Mr.
Goldsborough's appointment to the
Federal bench.
During the recent State elections
Mr.. Goldsborough ardently defended
New Deal policies on the same cam
paign platform from which Senator

EASTON7S CLUB
TO BE- MANAGED
BY LOCAL MEN
Secret Sale OF Franchise To
Brooklyn Judged Illegal
BY Lands
EASTON CROWDS ARE
AMONG LEAGUES BEST

Printed elsewhere in this issue is
the text of the decision handed down
by Judge Kenesaw M. Lands, Com
missioner of Baseball on November
23rd, in the matter of the franchise
of the Easton Baseball Club. This
decision should be of especial interest
to those interested in baseball, particu-
larly those interested in baseball as
clean and healthy sport.
During the spring of the present
year, as everyone we'll remembers, the
County Commissioners of Talbot, the
Mayor and Council of Easton and the
people of the community made an in
vestment of approximately $14,OOO.OO
in a new ball park, so that Easton
might be represented in the Eastern
Shore League. To insure the contin-
uance of baseball here and to protect
this investment a contract was enter
ed into whereby the franchise of the
Easton Club was not to be sold or
transferred without first giving the
people of this community an opportun-
ity to purchase it at price agreed
upon. This contract was violated.
Without notice to the people here the
franchise was sold to Brooklyn. Judge
Lands was asked to set this sale a.
side and send the franchise back to
Easton.
His decision sets aside the sale to
Brooklyn, and, as will be noted, states,
among other things:
"The people of Easton Loyalty and
generously supported Eastern Shore
League baseball. Their undertakings
to assist the club were faithfully car
ried out. And they have been griev-
ously mistreated. Many baseball rules
also have been wilfully violated.
"The Easton franchise is declared
terminated and forfeited to
the Eastern Shore League, subject
to being awarded (preferably to the
people of Easton, in consideration of
their $11, 400 investment in park facii-
ties for operation of club there) by
the Eastern Shore League, in accord
ance with it rules, for operation in
Easton.
eff any actifn is necessary or de-
sirable in connection with complete
disposition of this matter, further or
ders will be entered"
It is necessary, of course, that ar

"Chirps" ~
from the
Democrats S Pen

Well. Sir, met man on the streeC'
sue day last week, who stopped me 10
xav that he couldn't see how IN tne
world I could find so doggone much
7 think he said "doggone"; 1T may
have been another word that began
with a "d'-anyhow, he couldn't un-
derstand how / could dig up from my
brain so many things to write about
dogs.
Judging from the sparkle in his eye,

who stood high in the estimation OF
some pet canine, and, no doubt, dog

So, I told him that, while there was
no compunction connected with the
perusal of page column l In the
Pocomoke City bladder; still, l was
ready to desist if he thought it was in
the interest of harmony between man
and his best friend, or between the
'sbest friend" and the Individual known
As "Chirps."
Consequently, dear reader, cussin'
and iscussin' the genus "canis" will
disappear from this column just as
long as it is possible for me to keep
my mouth shut, or my pen from fol-
lowing habitual paths as it scratches
10 way across the page. So, instead,
/ told him about a man who stopped
his car out in front of my house one
day last week, just as was leaving
my domicile. He took me over to the
door of his auto, opened it and asked
ne what that was lying there on the
fIoor. 1t was one of these brownish
fox hounds, and it looked as if it
needed a good feed before it could
stand on its feet.
Then he took me to the rear of his
machine and there in a box was anoth-
er pet of another hound, but OF
a different marking. considering
how you like dogs" he said, 81
thought I'd call by and ask if you
didn't want to go fox hunting. I'm

Incidentally. the Mercury Players at

he wants royalties for their revival Of
his drama which they opened on last
April 20. 1t seems that Shaw told
them he addressed an answer to their
query about royalties to "a city called
Pennsylvania" and only recently did
he learn that they actually were in
New York City.
Shaw said his royalties are IS per
cent Of the gross receipts. which is
slightly more than the customary roy
