They are giving Rube MarQuard of
the New York Giants the sibilant hiss
now because he Is not satisfied with
the contract which Muggsy McGraw
sent 10 him, saying that the re
Enumeration was not sufficient IN MS
own opinion, for his services
WhereUpOu the ever genuemanly
AIuggsy cries; The big boob. 1 paid
$1,000 for him and he didn't snow 4
thing for two years. All this time ne
was receiving a salary Now because
he happens to have good season and
leads the National league he is trying
to stick me up. That's q helluYa note
Now let's see Everyone knows that
If you want to excite the wrath or
baseball magnate or manager the best
way to do it is TO slug EN- in the
pocket book A manager will stand all
sorts Of gaff from fans and players
alike but when anyone takes a crack
at his purse he gets up on his hind legs
and blows like a fire whistle So II
IS 10 be expected that McGraW would
be sore and call MarQuard ungrateful-
On his side however MarQuard has
plenty Of justi4ica ton for his action.
He has selected baseball as his pro-
fession. His main idea Is to get all Of
the remuneration from the game thar
is possible. The fact that McGraw held
him for two years when he was a pork
and beaner does not prove that McGraW
had any brOtherly love for Marquard
but rather that he was afraid to let him
go and. let any other club get hold of
the big south paw. for fear he might
make good.
As for paying him a salary for the
first two years when he failed to show
be 1t known that a ball players salary
the first year that he is under the
big tent is nothing 10 give a college
yell over. The manager plays on the
eagerness Of the yOungster to make
good in the tall show and the player
gets much glory and few dollars for
the first year
It is fair TO assume then that during
the first two seasons RUDE MarQuard
was paid only a very reasonable salary
and that he earned every cent in the
abuse he took from the fans at being
termed the $1,000 Lemon" and his
own embarrassment at not making
good.
Add to this that AIcGraw was abso-
lutely afraid to let him go for fear he
would show him (icGraw) up by
making good with some other club and
then 10 the grand total supplement the
fact that MarQuard had a wonderful
year in 1911, leading the National
league pitchers and practically carrying
the Giants into the pennant and you
perhaps viii differ with McGraw that
Marquard is ungrateful in his present
stand
Most ball players give the best years
OF their life TO their sport and when
they are through they usually do not
become very valuable in other fields
Of endeavOr. It is therefore an eco
nomic necessity that they get all they

as much stick-to-itiveness as any base

The man who gives the biggest boot
to these sports usually is the one who
knows little or absolutely nothing at
all about them It is pretty safe in
a general way, to say that any game

the contention over the adoption of a
route for the proposed state road from
this place to La Plata recently preci-
pitated by certain individuals in La

man in Pomonkey, who has become
somewhat distinguished through a long

public's consideration the original pc

want to say that the people Of Pomon-

Successful Entertainment.


The Solomon's Dramatic Club of SOL
omon's Island, Nd. came to Hughes
vile, Friday evening, Of last week and
gave an entertainment in the town
hall Of that place for the benefit of St.
Francis DeSales Catholic Church, in
Benedict.
The programme, as given below, was
well rendered and reflected credit upon
all who represented the characters of
the play.
Our sister town is indeed to be con-
graduated in having such talent among
its limited population. The Club it.
self is not only to be praised for its
dramatic work; but should be highly
commended for the truly liberal reIi-
gious spirit shown in making denom-
ination, to which only one member be-
longed, the beneficiary of its work. 1t
also gives strong evidence of the high
favor in which the Pastor OF the above
named church is held BY all with whom
he comes in contact. Father Laughran
is indeed a very popular young priest
and is doing good work in his parish.

COOP WORK T meDoNouon.

The closing exercises at the Nc
Donough Institute this week have
given the parents Of stu Tents OF that
Institution, guardians and all Of the
people Of our county an opportunity
to see and appreciate the good work
that has been done at the school and
what great benefit it has been to
the county.
Until the McDoncugh Institute
was established the majority Of child
rem in this county were unable to get
anything better than a public school
education. Between the public
schools and the McDonongh Institute
it can be readily seen that the latter
affords an opportunity for higher
education that not only serves the
ordinary person in the ordinary walks
of life but fits those who leave its
walls after graduation for a higher
and better work, while at the same
time it brin.s the children Of our
county out and leads them to aim
higher in the future.
The program that was carried out
during the closing exercises demon
stratss that the students are not only
well drilled in their books bat are
fitted 10 take their places in the world
with confidence. The confidence
which enables a girl or boy to pro-
perly take his or her place in the
world is instilled into them more
through the efforts made in the en-
tertainments that take place during
the course of the year and during
June week than in any other way.
The work in the manuel training
department, which was displayed is
to be highly commended as well as
all other work done by the pupils in
general Throughout the entire year.
The work of the students who took
part in the closing exercises shows
beyond question that they have ac-
complished much while the class re-
cords which we publish on our local
page when the able corp of teachers
is considered goes far to show that
the school is a source Of great benefit
to our county. The school is not
only a source of great benefit to our
county but blessing to the children
who live here.
We congratulate the faculty and
and children on their good work and
it is our sincere hope thai what they
accomplished during the past year
will continue with them for many
years to come.
