THE American league. an organi-
= cation consisting of the New
York Yankees and seven other
vaguely remembered baseball
teams, finally has revealed what
farm boys do when they leave the
old homestead in search Of the
bright lights.
They become baseball pitchers in
the American league--that is, most
Of them do. Some catch, some bob
Bile about the infieId, and . few are
content to earn their salaries in the
outfield. But most Of them pitch.
The American league service bu-
reau, which doesn't mind being
quoted in an off-hand way in the
public prints, has compiled a truly
impressive list of junior circuit play
ers who once lived close to the soil.
The bureau doesn't infer that the
boys each MIXED 40 cows before
breakfast, but it does give the inn
preston that their agricultural ca
reers were not limited to two-week
sojourn to Uncle Hiram's 160-acre
ranch in the fall of '36.
The formidable list includes Pitch
ers Eden Auker. Vern Kennedy,

Lyons, always a reliable player,
has had his share of outstanding
performances. On August 81, 1926,
he pitched 6 to 0 no-hit game
against Boston. In l939-when Ted
had lost the first flush of youth
he hurled AZ consecutive innings
without issuing base on balls. He
led the league in games won in 1925
and 1927, scoring 81 and % victories
respectively. He led the league in
complete games and innings pitched
in 1927 and 1880, and in shutouts in
1925 and 1910.
Remember, too, that Lyons was
born back In l90O-before the days
Of mechanical farming.

WILLIAMS HITS
HOMER TO END
ANNUAL GAME
American Wins Out After Going
Into The Ninth Trailing BY
Five To Three

The ninth annual game of base ball
played by stars selected from the two
Major Leagues-American and Ma
tional-was played at Detroit on
Tuesday of this week and resulted in
a victory for the American by score
of to 5. .t
Opinions expressed prior to the
game seemed to incline to the Ameri-
cans as the best batters; and the Ma
tionals as having the best pitchers.
AS the game proceeded, it looked as
if the Nationals had both, for when
the American went in for their last
half of the ninth inning they were
trailing by score of 5 to 8 and it
was about given up that the record
of the Americans of not losing game
on their home grounds, was about to
be broken.
The trailers needed two runs to
tie and three to win, and they pro-
ceeded to turn loose some of their bat
ting strength. With two on, Ted Will
/
liams slammed a four-bagger into
right field and then there was one
more run than was necessary to win
chalked up. 1t was hard game for
the losers to see slip away, and in de-
feat they were not discredited. 1t was
a thriller.
Bill Nicholson, the Sho' boy, went
to the bat once for the Nationals
He struck out, and he was benched.
But Jimmy Foxx did the same for the
Americans, and that on three pitched
balls. Over 40 players took part in
the game, and over $4,000 people saw
the contest.
This game rivals, in interest, the
World Series, and besides those in
attendance at Detroit, when it was
played, thousands of fans tuned in
and followed each play on the radio.
1t was we'll worth listening to.

EXTENSION OF HIGHWAY
ALONG STATE ROUTE Is


body will use route IS for its pro-
jections, and will tap the Maryland
line at or near New Church, Virginia,
and at a point west of the railroad,
since all the Route IS lies in that
position.
All this seems to indicate that in
the contemplated extensive improve
ment providing an Eastern Shore
boulevard, both the Virginia and the
Maryland Commissions are apparent
ly settling upon Route 10 as the line
to follow, and this would mean cross
ing the River at Pocomoke City.
An impression was prevalent some
time ago, that, since the Virginia
Commission had joined Tasley and
Parksley with concrete road, it
might be the extension on Route 13
would stop at Tasley and further
northern road building would continue
from Parksley. But assurance has
come from the Virginia authorities
that this branch would never be any
thing else but the subsiding construc-
ton.
Whether or not there will be another
road built as defense proposition and
extending through another section Of
Maryland to the Delaware line, has
not been definitely settled but the
people of this section are glad tt
know of the improvement contemplat.
