EXPECTING NEW TALENT

Eastern Shore League climbed out of
the cellar on Wednesday night by vir-
tue of their win over Milford, by a
score of 81.
The pitching of the club as whole
has been fairly we'll performed, but
the miscues of the players on the field
has made it very hard for a game to
be won. In a number Of games the
locals have outhit their opponents and
yet have come out on the short end
of the score.
On Friday night Of last week the
"Chicks" travelled to fredericksburg for
a return match, they opening with
that team here last Thursday and
were defeated 7-6, altho' outhitting
their opponents 1879. In the game at
fredericksburg, John McKosky did a
very creditable job on the mound for
the locals, allowing the Feleralsburg
club only two safeties to blank them,
while Pocomoke gathered four off the
delivery of their pitcher, including a
triple by Bud Cayton, second baseman
to defeat them 20.

Perhaps even more important than
these Is the opportunity for girls
and women to find the companion
ship Of those near their own ages.
At present 40 young women
working in downtown business of.
fices and schools make their homes
at the ''Y." During 1899. 763 tran

Many Activities

as Girl Reserve club night, finds
a multitude of activities in prog
ress, including potluck supper,
committee meetings setting up
membership standards, or other
groups arranging dancing or skat-
ing parties. Membership of this
club totaled 300 school girls In
1889.
Business girls and women take
possession of the building Tuesday
night. Discussions and get to-
gethers prove of value to all who
participate. The Y-Ed club was
popular to the extent of 224 men,
bers last year.
Free swimming instruction Is
given girls of the 18th grade who
have not yet learned the art of
water manipulation" The day
usually set aside for this is We'd

Gated to those who work in the

from factories and stores also
come in for their share of enter

last record.
The building Is also available to
community groups for concerts
and addresses in Weyerhaeuser
hall, splash parties in the pool and
work in the gymnasium.

of Ella A. Bennett, general secre-
tary, the association has more than
adequately justified the vision and
faith of its founders, say its
officers.

Dill referred specifically to the

AcquiHaI Of Teamsiers
Is Lauded by Green

William Green, president of the
A. F. Of L., last night described the
acquittal of four teamster union
ofacials on antitrust law violation
charges in District Court here yes
terday as "a distinct victory for the
American Federation of Labor"
Justice F. Dickinson Let's direc-
ton of verdict Of not guilty for the
men the Justice Department had
charged with conspiracy to tie up
building projects in Washington,
according to the A. F. OF L. presi-
dent, should demonstrate to the
entire country the truth of our con-
tention that Assistant Attorney Gen.
eral Thurman Arnold has gone far
afield in seeking to prescribe the
lawful activities of labor unions by
the filing Of wholesale indictments
under the antitrust laws"
1T was Mr.. Arnold's theory" con-
tinued Mr.. Green, that the Federal
Government could regulate and con-
troll the activities of labor unions by
invoking the antitrust laws against
them. Now this theory has
fallen to pieces In the face of the
facts, the law and common sense"
Justice Let's told the jury that
the defendants should be acquitted
on the elementary" ground that
the Government had not presented
sufficient evidence of criminal intent
on the part of the teamster union
officials.
