from the
Democrats S Pen

Well. Sir, the World Serious" is
upon US, bein' as how this is Tuesday
and the Yanks and Cubs hook up to-
morrow at 2:30, Eastern Standard
Time. And talking about Serious"
I'll bet those Pittsburg Pirates know
what that wod means. They were the
"seriousest" bunch of ball players that
ever landed in the Smoky City at the
close of a seasons work.
Couldn't help but pity 'em-also and
besides having a few weeps for the
Fans out Pittsburg way. Bless my
soul, it was like taking canteen of
water from a poor mortal dying OF
thirst. 1 saw by the papers that 17O,-
900 of those poor devils had returned
the tickets, bought to get seats in a
Pittsburg ball park. But, Presto!
and the scene changed to Chicago.
'Twouldn't do to print what Pittsburg
is saying about that other burg.
Well, what do you fans think about
the way this "serious" is going to go.
All I got to say is, If those Yanks
don't look out, those Cubs will Yank
one or two games-naybe four, and
then there will be some more serious
ball players from Manhattan. Play
ing ball is not all play-and don't you
forget it. Ever since the chesty toss
ers from the big town romped home
with the flag, they've been romping
not playing ball. And when they
want to get down to the serious work
of the game, it might be rather too
serious. The Cubs worked-they did ;
and they'll still work without trying.
First thing they know, those Yanks
will find out those Cubs have grown
into real bears and the way they'll
scratch and claw will be a caution.
I'm not prophet nor the son of a
prophet, but you'll see what you will
see.

WOMAN'S CLUB
HOLDS ITS FIRST
FALL MEETING
Plans Outlined For The Work Of
The Coming Season, In
clude City Identification
ADDRESS BY DIR. WILLARD
COUNTY HEALTH OFFICER

The Woman's Club of Pocomoke
City held it's first meeting of the fall
on Wednesday afternoon in the NUM-
cipal Building, the new president, Mrs
C. C. Hall, presiding.
Chief among the plans outlined is
the carrying on of the work of beau
tifying the city, which was started
during the administration of Mrs. r.
Lee Hall. The Club will also continue
to sponsor the Pocomoke Library as
it has done in the past. One new pro-
ject for which the Club will strive is
some form of public recreation for
the children of the community, with a
swimming pool as one of the obJec-
tives. Mrs. R. Lee Hall is chairman
of this committee and stated she hop
ed to have something to report at the
next meeting. The placing of traffic
lights at the important street cross
ings in Pocomoke is another project
for which the Club will work.
A full report of the National Con-
vention held in Kansas City Missouri,
given by Mrs. John Lang, was much
enjoyed, Mrs. Lang and Mrs. Bates
Hancock attended the convention and
helped to elect a Maryland woman,
Mrs. John L. Whitehurst, first nation
al vice-president, which means that
she will doubtless be the next Nation
al president.
Mrs. Upshur Stevenson, who in the
absence of Mrs. w. H. Schoolfield,
acted as program chairman for the
day, introduced DR.. w. R. Willard,
County Health Officer, who gave a
very interesting and instructive talk
on Maternal Hygiene, stating among
other thing that Worcester County
has a somewhat higher mortality rate
from child birth than the National,
and suggested ways by which this
death rate might be lowered.
The monthly activities as announced
by Mrs. Grady E. Powell, program
chairman are as follows At it's No
vember meeting the club will enter
tain it's State and District officers:
Mrs. Raymond C. Dryden, chairman,
the December meeting will have
Christmas program with a fes-
tival of music and Christmas carols,
Mrs. Anna G.. Mcclure, chairman; in
January the program will be on In
ternational Relations from the stand
point of the church, Mrs. Bates Han
cock, chairman; in February the club
will have an afternoon of poetry, Mrs.
Clinton H. Jones, chairman; in March,
Court History and the Chief Justice
of the United States Supreme Court,
Henry P. Walters, speaker, Mrs. l..
G. Callahan, chairman; in April, Art
Exhibit, Mrs. w. r. Willard, chair
man; in May, Business meeting. The
date of the flower show, of which Mrs.
R. Lee Hall, is chairman, will be an
nounced later, as will the date of the
annual birthday celebration.

wich 60, 6-3, 4-6, IS, and
Bobby Riggs won from Quist by
4-6, 60, 8-6, 81.
After that we should have been
all set to win five matches to
none, except that this affair is
one of recurrent surprises, and
by this time, everybody is hoping
for the best but we'll prepared
for the worst if it suddenly should
be thrust upon them.
FAVORS BUDGE
The one consolation is that
Quist probably can't beat Bulge
today, even if the latter shows up
in a wheelchair. Up to now he
has looked like he needed one,
and Capt. Walter Pate is besieged
with questions as to what is wrong
with the angular California red
head.
Pate insists that Bulge Is in
perfect shape. However, Bulge
has looked so bad that many are
wondering if. perchance, he is try
ing too hard with a view to look
ing as good as possible en- route
to a professional contract. which
he assuredly will accept after the
nationals, beginning this week.
SHOULD CLINCH MATCH
One thing in his favor today is
that in four previous matches
Quist has failed to win so much
as a single set from him. Thus
Bulge should clinch everything in
today's opening encounter.
If he should fail, then every
thing will be up to Riggs, who
looked great in his Davis Cup
debut Saturday. However, he now
will be confronted by Bromwich.
an unorthodox Stroker with a
right-handed serve. a left-handed
return of all other shots except
his backhand, which. for novelty'S
sake, he plays with both hands.
Perhaps Riggs can beat Brom'
wich, but Just to make sure, Bulge
had better beat QuiSt and get 1t
over with-if he can.
Bulge has been suffering from

The Washington times., 1938-09-05

lOE duUIllcE JCdIs
The minority which all along
has said that the challengerS from
down under would make it tough,
steadfastly maintained that we
may yet blow the famed, coveted,
and unpreposSesSing trophy before
this thing Is over, unless Donald
Bulge suddenly comes to life. Up
to now he has given a perfect imi-
tation of an uninSpired cadaver.
HOLDS EDGE
AS the five-match series stands
now, the United States holds two
singles victories and Australia
holds doubles win scored yester-
day. The latter was more or less
gift. Bulge played bad tennis
and Gene Mako, his tandem part
ner, wasn't much better, with the
result that Adrian Quist and John
Bromwich won by 0-6, 6-3,
Ga, 60.
Scant as it may be, that gives
Australia a chance despite it's rout
Saturday when Bulge beat Brow
