Have signed Joe BOley to manage
team.
Arthur Ehlers
Mr.. Arthur Ehlers, owner of the
Pocomoke base ball franchise, made a
short friendly trip to this city, coming
from Easton where he had been in at
tendance upon the Eastern Shore
League meeting.
Mr.. Ehlers talked over the pros
poets for the season and seems opti-
mistic concerning the sport throughout
the circuit. All the towns will have
night games, and this situation will do
much toward boosting financial re-
turns.
The promoter is busy signing up
players and realizes that this section
is deserving of a team that will sat
isfy the majority of patrons. With
the withdrawal of Crisfield from the
League, the area of influence of the
Pocomoke team is increased, and the
gate should profit by that vacant ter
ritory.
Concerning the managership, Mr.
Ehlers stated that he had Max Bish-
op signed up and could have held him
to his contract, but did not feel justi-
fled in so doing, since the salary OF
a coach at the Naval Academy is a
very flattering one. 1t was an oppor-
tunity for Bishop that could not be
passed up, and Mr.. Ehlers released
him to go to Annapolis. No one could
do otherwise than commend Mr.. En-
lers for not standing in the way OF
Bishops preferment.
Mr.. Ehlers is now on the hunt fol
a man to handle the team, and if he
succeeds in landing the man with
whom he has been in communication
the club will not suffer any from the
loss of Bishop.
At the meeting in Easton on Sun
day last, the League wisely refrained
from increasing the number of players
and also boosting the salary limit
That was one of the hurdles the old
organization failed to leap and, con-
sequently, went to a fall. Better sail
along under a reef than to spread too
much canvas at once.
With regard to the story which has
gotten into the press concerning the
employment of aliens as ball players,
President Russell has denied any ac-
tion of the League looking toward the
disbarment of such material. This
move, if it had been taken, would
have initiated against the employ
ment of the many Italians playing on
the Shore.
Everything seems favorable for the
success in 1888 of the national sport,
and the fans are eagerly awaiting the
cry of Play Ball!

and and other necessities for the time
of delivery, and in the care of the
new born baby. These clinics will be
open to all women in the county.
Medical supervision will be avail
able for only certain groups of wo-
men, those to be delivered by mid
wives, those referred by the Welfare
Board, and those referred by private
physicians. Midwives will henceforth
be allowed to deliver only those wo-
men who have registered with the
clinics.
This program is considered impor-
tant because of the high infant death
rate in Worcester county, part of
which can be attributed to lack of
knowledge by mothers in the care of
a baby, and part to lack of adequate
medical supervision during pregnancy.

in community, the Academy and all
that therein is-or was. But, after
the lapse of all these years, blest if
that plagued old school hasn't riz up
and slapped me right in the face a
gain. Here we were all tickled to
death over the prospects held out for
our base ball team for the coming
season. Mr. Ehlers had announced the
signing of Max Bishop as the "mas-
ter mind" for 1888. And surely if ex-
perience counts for anything, Max
ought to have made good. We were
just smiling all the way across our
faces.
Then up bounces that pesky naval
bunch and takes Max away from us
just as easy as I'd inherit ten dollar
bill. And they didn't say a word to
us about it. It's a good bet they
didn't say much to Owner Ehlers. They
just drafted Max, and in he went,
