SLIDE, DUST-A Flag Goes Up, Tigers Go Down
TENSE MOMENT AS Hank Goes Into Army
Six-Hitter by Sid
Hudson Stops
Win Streak
BY LEO MACDoNELL

Bucky Harris always has con-
tended that Sid Hudson is the best
young pitcher in all baseball, and
who are we to dispute the keen-
minded Washington manager.
,, Especially, after seeing the 23-
Iyear-old Highlander tie the fero-
cious Tigers into knots. Hudson
did that yesterday with a six-hit
performance at Briggs Stadium.
while his Washington teammates
banged out victory. A to 2.
It was no way to treat the Ti-
gers on pennant-raising day. espe-
cially after the Detroit club was
kind enough to set day for the
raising on which the Senators
would be in town. And besides
they had just lost Hank Green
berg.
But possibly Harris and his clan
wanted to show Judge Lands and
William Harridge and Gov. Muir
ray D. Van Wagner, guests OF
honor. that they we're better ball
club than they are painted.
IRRITATING TEAM
They don't have to tell the Tigers
that after licking Del Bakers men
leight times in as many starts. They
took seven of them in Spring
training exhibition games. Though
not regular league games. the con-
tests in the south were no less
Irritating.
Yesterdays setback was particu-
larly devasting for the Tigers in
that il snapped a winning streak
that had reached five games and
also dropped the Detroiters from
second to virtual tie with Boston
for third in the standings.
Schoolboy Rowe, who started for
the Tigers, was lifted after five in
nings, a stretch in which the tall
Arkansas twirler gave up eight
hits and three runs. The School,
boy was replaced by Paul Dizzy
Trout, who later gave way to
Floyd Giebell after a pinch hitter
had been inserted into the lineup.
CRAMER sPARKLES
With three hits, Doc Cramer,
whom the Senators obtained from
the Red Sox during the Winter.
led the Washington attack. One Of
the hits was two-bagger and the
others infield scratches. George
Case and Jimmy Vernon also hit
two safeties each for the Senators
with Bruce Campbell bagging as
many for the Tigers. One Of
Bruce's blows was a triple. Both
of the Tiger tallies were scored by
, Campbell.

Theodore Drivas, now of New York
was the first proprietor of the Cry

Front Streets, Pocomoke City.
Mr.. Drivas, Greek, has a SON.
John, who is now valiantly fighting
against the despotic ambitions Of the
German Hitler, and Greece is the ad-
miration of the world because of its
brave stand to preserve the ancient
glory of it's name and homeland.
This son, John by name, writes the
following letter to his father, and it
shows the indomitable spirit of the
Greeks, who made the Italians look
cheap in the contest of War. The let
ter follows:
Greek-Italian Front
December 20, 1910
My Respected Father:
1 am writing you hurriedly, in a
rush.
l have fought and will fight like
descendant of the Spartans that
am.
All of us here offer all that we
can; even the blind offer something,
since they cannot see to fight they
knit the soldiers sweaters.
To the altar of liberty and honor
of our country I too have dedicated
all that have in the world-my life.
Do not grieve, do not, sorrow, Faith
er of Mine, whatever may happen.
You gave me my life, that life I
will devote, I will give, will dedicate
to the altar of the Motherland.
It is immaterial as to what hap
pens to me individually. I see but
one thing, our Mother Greece.
I gaze but at one thing, the laurel
crowns of victory.
That is what we are fighting for
at this moment.
And if die I will rise again to
celebrate in victory the browning of
the blue and white banner.
Aleck "a brother) is here fighting.
It is an honor to us and an honor to
you.
With filial respect and kisses,
Your Son,
John

as scheduled.
Farmers in the upper districts of
the county will have an opportunity
to sign their farm plans at the of
flee of the County Agent during the

The farm plan shows the payment
which can be obtained for participa-
ting in the program this year, pro-
vided the allotted acreage of wheat,
potatoes, vegetables and total soil de-
pleting crops are not exceeded.
On account of the lateness of the
meetings, it is thought advisable not
to hold the soil testing days. How
ever those who wish to have soil
samples tested, should bring them to
the meetings or the office of the coun
ty agent and they will be sent prom
