SCENE
OF DISASTROUS
FIRE, TUESDAY
Estimated Loss Reaches Sum Of
Twenty-FOur Thousand
Dollars
ORIGINATED IN A
FURNITURE SHOP

The town of Bloxom suffered a
heavy loss Tuesday when fire origi-
mating in a furniture repair shop,
operated by A. E. Ezell, spread to
adjoining buildings, totally Destroy
ing several and damaging others.
The fire was discovered at about
1 p. M. and assumed such alarming
proportions calls were sent to sur
rounding towns for fire-fighting ap-
paratus. Exmore, Onancock, Tasley,
Parksley, Chincoteague and Pocomoke
City Fire Companies responded. Cape
Charles started for the scene but due
to an accident enroute was compelled
to return.
The estimated loss is about $4,000
with a possible insurance coverage of
$11,7O0.
The merchandise store of Bunting

ments over the store, and property of
A. L. Bunting, valued at $4,000 was

$4,000 insurance; Godwin's store
house, damaged to the extent Of $5,-
O00 with an insurance coverape Of Sd
500; offices of Roland Somers, dam
age covered by insurance.
For a time it looked as if the en-
tire section would be prey to flames
but the combined efforts Of the fire
companies resulted in subduing the
conflagration and checking the spread
which had assumed such alarming
proportions.

SCHLUTER IS
SLATED TO GO
TO PORTSMOUTH
Former POcOmOke Base Ball
Player Needs More Exper-
fence In Lower Class
is OWNED BY THE
BALTIMORE ORIOLES

Jesse Linthicum, sports writer OF
the Baltimore Sum-, has the follow
ing to say about Henry Schluter.
which should be interesting to POGO
moke base ball fans:
Henry Schluter, a former Polytech-
mic star, is ready to make his real
bid for fame on the diamond.
He no longer is a novice, but an
unusual situation has served to cramp
him to some extent. Schluter has
been the property of the Baltimore
Orioles since 1888, when he was pur-
chased from the Pocomoke Club, of
the Eastern Shore League.
The Birds have used him at Oriole
Park and at Dover, farm club Of the
Flock on the Shore. The jump from
Dover to Baltimore has been too great
a leap, and it is believed Schluter will
have an opportunity to develop if
moved along gradually.
Tommy Thomas, manager of the
Orioles, has decided to place Schluter
with the Portsmouth (Va.) team this
year. He will have a chance to play
under Ray Brubaker, who managed
Dover last season.
Brubaker is credited with having
helped the former Poly athlete quite
bit last year. He played in 116
games, scored 90 runs, hit safely 139
times, including 20 home runs, and
finished the Shore campaign with a
batting mark Of .324. He was the
leagues home-run king.
Schluter batted in 100 runs, and
that's the figure baseball managers
watch closely. In checking players
they want to know something about
how they come through in the old
pinch.
Henry has hit over the 300 mark
twice since he turned in his uniform
at Poly. In his first year Of profess
sional ball he hit at a 1856 clip for
Charleroi. He hit his stride in 1888
with Pocomoke when he socked the
apple to the tune Of .342.
Schluter is an infielder. He appears
to be more at home on third base than

les, tomorrow, Saturday new library

were added the proceeds Of the Gar
rett Foxwell estate, left by will of the
Kent county farmer, about $4,000;
and further amount by state iber-
atty.

TEXACOS MEET FIRST
DEFEAT OF THE SEASON

Tonight (Friday) the Baptist team
Of Salisbury boasting thirteen game
winning streak, will tackle the Guards
in the second game Of double-head-
er. The Texaco boys will play the
first game against the strongest OPP
position available. At this writing,
their opponents have not been select
ed.
An upset and near-upset took place
at the Armory last Thursday night.
What was considered easy foes for
the Texaco and Guard quintet, turned
out to be one of the most exciting ex-
hibitions of basketball ever played on
the local courts.
The Texaco cagers, undefeated in
their first four starts this season,
felt the sting of defeat by losing to
the Ocean City Sea Gulls. This game
was considered breather for the To-
cal lads but the Gulls found the Tex
AGO boys in one Of those off nights
and minus the services of their star
forward, Allen. Paul Merrill, tall
rangy center, who returned to the
lineup this week was not in his usual

Coach Mac Littleton of the Texacc
team stated after the game that il
was just one Of those nights when
everything went wrong and when a
team doesn't click, you have to sit
by and hope for the best.
In the second game after trailing
by nine points in the last half, the
Guards won their fifth straight game
and maintained their 48 point aver
age per game by defeating the Vir-
ginia Eagles, 4S-47. The game was
thriller and packed with plenty of
punch throughout the entire contest.
With minute remaining to play and
trailing by three points, Buddy West
sank a long shot standing in the
forecourt near the center line. This
brought the soldiers within one point
of the Virginians. With twelve Sec
onds remaining to play, long hook
