NATIONAL LEACUERS ON
WINNING Side this Time

The annual base ball classic took
place on Wednesday last in Cincinnati,
when the supposedly cream of the Ma
tional League met similarly charac-
terized organization from the Ameri-
can League.
This was the sixth meeting of this
sort, and prior to it, the American
League had won four of the five
played. Bets were made at 8 to 8
that the Americans would repeat, but
the Nationals wouldn't have it that
way, and they downed their oppon-
ents by a A to 1 score.
There wasn't murh difference in the
hitting, but the defensive work in the
field was off color so far as the de-
feated team was concerned. Probab'
ly the high light Of the contest was
the pitching Of young Van. der Nicer
a schoolboy, who breezed them ove1
for three innings, and let the Yankee
sluggers down with only one hit. The
score now of games is, American
League 4: National 2.

MONTHLY REPORT
DISCLOSES FEWER
FATAL ACCIDENTS
A decrease OF Thirty-Five Per
cent Over June OF Nine
teen-Thirty-Seven

The monthly report of the Safety
Department of the Commissioner OF
Motor Vehicles descloses that the first
six months of this year show ninety
two fewer deaths than the correspond
ing period of 1887, a decrease Of thir-
ty-five percent. There was also twen
ty-five fewer deaths for the month Cd
June, as compared with the same per-
iod of 1887.
There were eight pedestrians killed
during the month, three of which were
children playing in the roadway. One
was killed while hitching on We.
hicle, two were walking in road on
right side with traffic, and one was
killed at intersection, crossing against
signal. and one killed crossing street
between intersection.
According to summary, eight, OF
thirty-one percent, were pedestrians;
nine, or thirty-four per cent were pas
sengers; one, or four percent was rid
ing a bicycle; and eight, or thirty
one percent, were the operators them
selves. Most of the deaths occurred
on clear days, and on dry, straight
roads. Tuesday, seemed to be the
Lucky Day, if the term may be ap-
piled, as no deaths occurred on this
day during the month of June, with
Sunday having the highest with eight.
Passenger cars, with apparently no
defects, continue to head the list with
speed too fast for conditions by the
operators, who, in a majority Of the
cases, were White, in normal con-
dition, between the ages Of 80 and
80, with five years or more exper-
fence and a resident of the Counties
of this State. There were two Hit
and-Run cases resulting in death
during the month of June.

three deaths, with twenty-three deaths
occurring in the Counties.

Dover has gone into a slump since
he left.

brought home the bacon. The fans

years old and weighs 165 pounds.

comoke, he has scored 80 runs in 40
games. In the home-run division he
has clouted II, and now that Dick

honors. He has hit doubles and /
triple, and batted in 81 runs.

mic Institute of Baltimore. He was
signed by the Detroit Tigers in the

The Senator's legislative philosophy

SERIES OF CRIMES
PERFORATED IN
This VICINITY
Montgomery Wards Store En-
tered And $500 Worth Of
Goods Extracted

Crime seems to be rampant in Po-
comoke City and vicinity these days.
Not many days ago, thieves crashed
an upper window in the store of Mont
gomery Ward, and extracted goods
therefrom to the estimated amount Of
$500. Entrance was made through q
window over the shelves and looking
out on the alley driveway entered
from Vine Street. Police are busy
on this and apprehensions are looked
for at an early date.
Automobile thieves have been busy
and Hollis Dryden reports his stolen
from in front of his home on Market
Street. At this writing nothing has
been heard from it.
Strayer Gordy reports a similar
loss. His was taken from the ball
park, and no word as yet has come to
indicate it's whereabouts.
Gene Slant, filling-station oper-
ator, over at Sanford, near Temper
Va, is in the hospital suf-
fering from a gun shot inflicted by
some youths on trouble bent. If re-
ports are correct, Pocomoke City
seems to be the home of those impli-
Gated, but that has not been definite
" decided.
Police are kept busy on these cases
and it is to be hoped that the gang
sters will soon be brought to Justice.

"Chirps"@
from the
Democrats Pen
from the

Well. Sir, I see by the papers that
Governor Harry w. Nice wants &c
continue to be Governor Harry W.
Nice. He evidently thinks it spec
iallv "nice" job. The papers say ne
is going to run; he says he's going TO
run: and, SO, 1 suppose there is no
mistake about it. altho', l haven't
heard from the other Harry about the
matter:-I refer to Harry Phoebus
hut I reckon, in the face of all the
circumstances, he'll have to acknowl'
edge he's going to have a mice" op-
ponent.
How-some-ever, this running busl'
ness can be looked at in two ways
and if Mr.. Nice doesn't look out he'll
be running the other way. l am just
thinkin' that when the votes are cast
he'll look like he's been running back
ward. Of course, he's depending or
the Democratic races interfering WITH
each other so furiously, that he will
slip through to the port and under the
wire a winner.
But that condition will exist only In
practice. By the time the big race
comes off, everything will be subor'
dinated to cooperation, and Mr.. Nice
will be looking at his $4,000 An
napolis domicile through the small
end of a telescope, just like it die
some time back when he said nothing
could induce him to run again; the
governorship looked too far away
from him-that's what led him to thai
conclusion.
You know, his gradual turnover
looked like one of these slow-motior
screen pictures. You could see every
move from first to last, and now Mr.
Nice thinks the good old state OF
Maryland couldn't possibly exist with
out materializing his policies. Some
of his "policies" will materialize, pos
sibly, after he has shuffled off this
mortal coil; some other kind will os
sify in Ngeonholes.
And speaking of politics and poll
teal candidates, I see by the paper
that Mr.. Lewis, the New Deal offer
ing for the United States Senatorshil
from Maryland, is charging that Ty
dings is having sleeps eyes cast a
him by the G. o. P; and, of course
the deduction is, he should be foreve
damned by simon pure Democrats.
Wonder what his boss, Franklil
Delano (accent on the second syllable
would have done without some o
those same votes; and I'd like to as
Mr.. Lewis how many would he refuse
if they would beg right hard for hin
to accept. Wonder if they were a

Pennsylvania. And what's the matte
with Mr.. Lewis that he can't get ZEN
just as easily as Mr.. Tydings. Omi
