success, needs some type of organized
support from it's representative citi-
zens and it's civic organizations who
see in it's team as representing the
town in the Eastern Shore League a
possible asset to the towns business,
reputation and progress. have gain
ed the impression that this is entirely
lacking in Pocomoke. There doesn't
seem to be any tie-up at all between
the management and the town, no
personal or social contact, on confer
ences looking toward the welfare Of
the team and of baseball in the COM
munity between committees of repres-
entative citizens and the ownership.
Fans go to the games or they stay
at home as they prefer. The town
and the management of the club are
miles apart. It's all an individual
mattercthe town on one side and
the management on the other. If the
community wants Pocomoke to con-
tinue in the league, it should form an
organization to boost the proposition,
have a committee of citizens who
would go to the management, express
their opinions frankly on what kind
of team they want and are willing to
get back of with their moral support,
and tell the management what con-
certed efforts they stand ready to
make if such team is provided. Eas-
ton and Centreville have such a tie
up. Pocomoke with little leadership
from those who are interested in base
ball could have the same. Why not
joint committee from the Rotary and
Lions Clubs? I hope that Pocomoke
as a community will not let baseball
die in the town from lack of concerted
effort. I feel sure that it will die an
early death, however, under present
conditions.
Sincerely yours,
An Interested Fan

COLUMN
Pocomoke City, Md.
June 20, 1889.

DR.. E. J. Clarke,
Editor The Worcester Democrat,
Pocomoke City, Md.
My dear SIR
am constrained to write down this
morning few of my recent and pres
ent reactions to the baseball situation
in Pocomoke.
1. The Pocomoke team has surely
gone into a "tail-spin" during the last
ten days. The boys have apparently
lost their confidence and are in a
sustained batting slump. They haven't
hit at $50 pace for the past week.
In a recent double-header in which I
saw them, they seemed to be standing
back on their heels instead Of on their
toes. Well, the best of teams get in
a hitting slump now and then, and it
is very possible that they will soon
be swinging again in their former
style.
2. The team has only one depend
able hurler. It needs more strength
in the pitching box and needs it bad
ly, if the team is to get anywhere.
3. The team needs also more
strength on the attack. The addition
of one or two good dependable hitters
would probably work wonders and win
many games that under present con-
ditions would be lost.
A. Other teams in the league which
have connections with larger and
stronger leagues have recently
strengthened their lineup by addi-
tions and changes. This is notably
true of Easton, which now has Eddie
Johnson, son Of the famous Walter;
and Spires, the first baseman secured
through the Yankee farm system from
Furman University. Pocomoke must
also strengthen it's forces and do it
quickly to meet this condition or it
will soon be where it was last year
in the cellar-and stay there.
5. understand that attendance at
the home games has not been good.
still believe that the fans from the
town itself as well as from outside,
will attend the games in force, if they
are given a chance. Pocomoke drew
10000 fans to it's home games year
before last and made money for the
management. This proves my state
ment. The fact that the figures fell
to less than that figure last year
needs no explanation, further than the
statement that the team was hope
less tail-ender from the opening of
the second month of the season. The
town does not demand a champion
team,-but if it had team which had
a fighting chance to finish in the first
division and participate in the play
offs, it would very likely be money
maker for it's owner.
6. Baseball in Pocomoke, to be a
