KITZMILLER HIGH BEATS
BEALL HIGH IN SOCCER
Garrett County Champions Pull
Stunning Upset Yesterday

Kitzmiller High of Kitzmiller de
feated Beall High of Frostburg 20 in
the first soccer game to determine the
champion of the Western Shore, at
Kitzmiller yesterday in the elimination
tourney for the State Championship
of Maryland.
Beall Hi was completely outplayed
throughout the game and had very
few opportunities to score at Kitz-
miller's defense was almost perfect
The defeat came as a complete sur
prise to the Frostburgers who had
figured the contest would be a land
slide victory for their team.
The first quarter was even with the
home team having the most chances
to score. These were denied by the
play of Goalie Lewis. In the second
period Kitzmiller took the kick off
through the complete Beall team,
without a single Beall man touching
the ball, Malouse booting it for the
only score of the game. Coach Joe
Sollar's team displayed wonderful
team work throughout the rest of the
game but was not able to get the ball
past Goalie Lewis.
1t would be difficult to pick an out
standing player for Kitzmiller as the
victory was an all team win. For
Frostburg Lewis, the goalie, was the
only outstanding man for a losing
cause, making a few near impossible
saves.
Kitzmiller will play it's next game
on November IT, against the winner
of the playoff between Carroll, Fred
erick and Washington counties.
Players on the Kitzmiller team in
Guided WEIGHT, Crosco, Cardoro, Daw-
son, Pratt, Mcintyre, Markley, Moore,

HERBERT R. O'CONOR IS
new GOVERNOR OF STATE
O'COnor's Majority Shows Adj
vance Over His Republican OPP
pOnent, Harry w. Nice
TYDINGS IS VICTORIOUS

Attorney General Herbert R.
O'Conor was elected Maryland's new
governor on Tuesday by virtue of
sweeping majorities in Baltimore City
and comfortable leads in some of the
counties.
O'Conor's widening margins left
him ahead in fourteen counties on the
basis Of returns from 1,037 precincts
out of 1888. The vote gave Nice $780,
500; O'Conor Psi, OO3; O'Conor's plu-
rality, 6O,494.
Governor Nice, admitting defeat of
his attempt to become the first Re-
publican governor ever reelected in
Maryland, conceded shortly before
noon Wednesday and pledged his
fullest cooperation" to O'Conor's
administration.
Tydings Tops Ticket
Senator Willard E. Tydings, Demo-
crat, reelected for his third term, led
the ticket throughout the state. Tyd-
dings, whom President Roosevelt vain
ly tried to eliminate in his democratic
primary purge" surpassed even the
chief executives own previous high
plurality in leading the Democratic
ticket to victory.
Returns from 1923 of the states
1888 polling places gave Tydings
285,1O2 votes to 12O,754 for former
judge Oscar Lesser, of Baltimore, his
Republican opponent.
Only one cloud seemed to dim the
attorney generals victory. On re-
turns from 1874 precincts voters dis
approved 59,951 to 46,480 the consti-
tutional amendment to authorize a
graduated state income tax, basic
plank in O'Conor's fiscal program.

wide offices held the following safe
margins:

can Leo Weinberg, Frederick, by 75,-
500.

In the second district, Rep. William
P. Cole was far ahead of Irving Mez-
ger, at Republican candidate, with a
vote of 72,75O to 33,798.

and fourth districts elected Thomas
D'Alesandro, Jr., and reelected Rep.

SENATE RACE IS CLOSE

Garrett County returned it's usual
Republican majorities at the general
election on Tuesday with two excep-
tons. A Democrat was elected sheriff
of this county for the third consecu-
tive time, J. w. Owens defeating Juni-
per S. Teats 3458 to 1851 in "a of Is
precincts reporting, to give him the
largest majority ever accorded a Dem
ocrat here.
Willard Tydings, Democratic U. S.
Senator, seeking reelection after de-
flying President Roosevelt in his
purge" attempt in the primary cleo
ton, carried Garrett county by more
than 300 majority.
All other candidates had little diff
Guilty, although hot fight was waged
for the State Senatorship and the
Democrats were hopeful of electing
at least one County Commissioner.
Clifford Friend had majority of
ITO with one district yet to hear from.
While Garrett county gave substan-
tial majorities to the State candidates
in all instances, Governor Nice car
rying the county by more than 1900
majority, the O'Conor landslide in
other sections of the state was too
much to overcome.
E. R. Jones, only local man on the
state ticket, got a good vote here but
was showed under with the other Re-
publican candidates throughout the
state.
Eleven Republican candidates were
unopposed for Office, and all received a
good complimentary vote.
Paul M. Friend, Cheston H. Brown
ing and G. Blaine Giessman won out
for County Commissioner over their
Democratic opponents with comfor-
table majorities, although Norval
Speelman and Wilbert Ridder, Demo
cratic opponents, ran good race.
All constitutional amendments were
defeated in this county along with the
referendum on the delayed marriage
law. In the state, however, the mar.
riage law was ratified and after De-
cember 8, it will be necessary for ap'
plicants to wait 48 hours before
marriage license is granted.

person Of Mayor +. w. Ross. On the
receiving end viii be Nillard J.
Tawes, OF Crisfield who Will probab-
~ prefer the wire noting in the
ground stand should do the catching;
and at the bat will be found Senator
Jeff F. Walters, of Virginia, who will
likely not see the ball at all. His
failure to locate the sphere will not,
however, be because of Ross speed
it won't get up to the bat to see. But
the crowd will have a good time en-
ioying their efforts, and there should
be big crowd there.
Agitation concerning the admission
charges to the game, has brought
about some discomfort. An action by
the Board of Directors, laid the mini
mum price at 40 cents, and the grand
stand at 55 cents This did away
with the 25 cent general admission.
In addition to this a split was made in
the gate receipts whereby the visiting
club is to receive ten cents on every
admission.
The new prices were distasteful;
some of the owners declaring they
would not enforce it. They, however,
expressed themselves as determined
to maintain the popular prices. Presi-
dent of the League, Harry S. Russell,
had called a meeting at Chestertown
for Sunday next to take the question
up again. Subsequently, he got in
touch with the different clubs by
phone, the result of which was that
the old system of admission prices
will be retained, but the 1O-cent tax
will be in force. The charge of 25
cents, 40 cents, and 55 cents, as last
year will be in force.
Everything points to a successful
year in the circuit. From every place
with a team come reports of much
enthusiasm, and opening day crowds
will pack the stands. So far as Po-
comoke is concerned, it occupies a
most favorable spot in the ball terri
tory. Since the club has been with
drawn from Crisfield, the patronage
can be drawn from longer radius.
The locals should draw we'll from
Princess Anne to Cape Charles and
from Crisfield to Snow Hill.
The Pocomoke management extends
a hearty invitation to all neighboring
fans to come over and enjoy the
games; root for Pocomoke, if they
feel like it, but also feel at liberty to
root for either team they see fit to
boost.
The lineup for the first game will
be formed from the following play
ers:
Catchers: Dousha, Napp, or Kirby.
Pitchers: Walsh, Slime, Rehbein,
Stronsky, Kopeck, Falzone, Ulcich, or
Nelson.
First Base: Daddino.
Second Base: Clark or Hall.
Short Stop: Padgett.
Third Base: Schluter.
Outfielders: Janeski, Dugan, Scara-
mella, Miskiss, and Jester.
