Murray's History Of Newtown was
organized in Pocomoke City (then
called Newtown) under the supervi-
sion and control of the Rector Of St
Mary's Church in 1847 The lot on
3rd or Church Street opposite the
cemetery and now occupied by the
Parish House was purchased from
John Mcnamara and Mary Anne Nc
Namara (his wife) and the deed for
same was dated January n, 1914 and
was witnessed by Francis Messick
and VIM. Townsend. (See Liber E.

was described in previous chapter
of this series.
1t is interesting to know that Mr..
Francis Messick was the grandfather
of Mrs. A. A. Parker, of Pocomoke
City, Md, and Mrs. Nellie Dryden

tie did Mr.. Messick dream when he
witnessed the signature Of the Nc
Namaras to the deed above describ-
ed that his daughter, the late Miss
Clementine c. Messick (later Mrs.
Francis H. Dryden who was born
during that same year (1844) would
some time in later years be teacher
in the Parish School that would be
erected on that lot Another lady,
Miss Annie F. Truman, also tea

GRATED the interor of the church with
festoons of evergreens. 1t was a very
pretty sight to behold ropes of ever
greens, of cedar, holly and laurel,
hanging in festoons below the cell

to the other and in position around
the window frames and the front of
the pipe organ and in the chancel-
all the beauty adding to the impress
siveness of the services during the
Christmas season.
In my boyhood, I never tired of
viewing that scene of beauty that
the decorations presented and how
inspirational it was to listen to the
beautiful Christmas carols rendered
by the choir at appropriate periods
during the services.
st. Mary's is to be congratulated on
being able to obtain the services of
their former popular Rector, Rev. H.
V. Clary, and l am sure his many
friends throughout our city are de-
lighted to have him and his family
as residents of this place again and
are wishing him, the greatest success
in his important work. In my next
chapter, I'll try to describe the Real

Hardly week goes by, but the Industrial and Mercantile league bowlers, some 75 of them rolling at the Mattatuck and Sena alleys each Tuesday evening, provide some- thing of interest to followers of the alley sport. Last night, for instance the high single and high set men in both leagues came from the same team.
 In the Dusty loop, George Simp- son hit rollicking I'll for single which took top honors; but Winnie Lucarella, also of the Waterbury Manufacturing Company was the best individual roller in both leagues with l47, 117, 146 set for 40.
 In the Mercantile, Tommy La. elias final game of l50 was best for one game, but good old Titan. Top F. Chomondeley Roche, the horn-tooting bus-driver, came ur with three nice strings of l29, 134 and l29 for 3o2 total and l3C plus average, which made him the number one Brooksider on the alleys last eve. In their final game the league leading Brooks knocked down a sizzling 663 which aint Splittin' the wood, evan little bit.

 Fullback Bob Dobbs, brother of Glenn, smashes inside tackle and handles some of the passing. He's 6-l, 100 pounds. The blocking back is iS2-pound Dewey Brick sen, rated the most improved player on the squad.
 AS If this weren't enough. Frnka came up with Q fine soph- omore, Clyde Leforce, who alter mates with Glenn Dobbs and Keithley. Another triple- -threater, Leforce averaged 0.4 yards in @ plays, passed for 342, place-kicked 3i of 38 extra points, and led the Hurricanes in scoring with 43points.
 Tulsa lost both guards and tackles and one end plus their best replacements. The Missouri Valley Conference waived the freshman rule and permitted junior college transfers to play to compensate for these losses.
 From the junior college ranks came the most unusual player In tho nation-Ellis Jones, one-arm- ed guard.

 ONE.ARMED GUARD SHINES
 He played two years of foot. ball at Abilene, Tex, High School then two ct San Angelo jpnior College, where he was captain the second year.

 New York, Nov. li,-(UP)--Most boxing divisions have been drained of their top.flight talent by the war, but the lightweight-or "second money bra sket"-is ilouriShine.

Tulsa( Nov. il - Hurricane vic- tins are assured of merciful treat ment by quiet, mild Henry Frnka, the Tulsa tactician.
 The coach of the undefeated Hur- ricanes, unbeaten and unscored on in their first six games, doesn't like to run up the score. In two of the first three games, against Waco Air Corps and Randolph Field, he short- ened the quarters to eight minutes.

For . matter of records, the Frances dropped the first game they bowled the night the league opened and since then they have won 20 straight games, white- washing all teams and beating the Bombers two straight. The Bomb CTS meet the Frances tonight in the opening second round matches and the boys from Railroad Hill hope to put halt to the Trenches winning streak.

Ted Cough linS gang are currently enjoying c i've game lead over tho rest of the pack and not one of their rivals has shown enough consistency Co Dc labeled anything like dangerous, So far the Doughboys have stolen the show in this second round win- hing 0 out of i2 played after losing l3 straight In the opening round, However all this went for no gain as the league leaders captured an Identical number. Tho Bombers looking like an up and coming threat, but they f1iSzled like that famous biearbornate whom thair big chance came. Who it will be-if anyone--to overtake the Marines is glmply just . guess at the moment.
 Tho Bombadiers were all set for tho Leatherneeks last week, c three game win would have put them in first place, but they couldn't come up with ono Of those famous GOO games Of thoir and dropped three games only the second ono being close.
