CREEK Athletes
ARE REAL STARS
Stalwart GiannakopulOs and
Little Tsambiras Are Men
of Homeric Deeds
SLAVS IN NEXT
NEW YORK MEET

NEW YORK Jan. 26.-Not since
those halcyon days OF athletics, when
ancient Greece made athletics part Of
her national life, have two Greeks dem
onstrated such wonderful athletic PROV
ess as Nick Giannakopulos, OF the Mill
rose A. CV.. and George Tsambiras, Of
the Greek American A. G.
Giannakopulos recently defeated the
great Hannes Nolehmainen and a ilect
field OF hill and dalers in the annual
cross-country championships of the
United States. Tsambiras is the holder
of the worlds l00-pound dumb-bell rec
ord, and viii attempt to fracture his
wonderful figures at the annual games
of his club next Washington's Birthday.
II is the large size of one and the
small size of the other that makes the
experts wonder Giannakopulos. lsj
pounds In weight. broad and powerfully
blnlt. seems better fitted for a shot put
ter or weight throwor than for a cross
country runner. Tsambiras only weighs
l60 pounds, yet this little giant of n
man has accomplished feats Of strength
that put 10 shame the efforts of weight
Built Like a PercherOn.
Giannakopulos is so big and stall
wart that when he takes his mark
with other rivals in distance race
he looks like huge Percheron among
n field of thoroughbreds. How Nick
carries that huge bulk of his along
with the speed and stay he has ex-
hibited is a mystery to most OF the
athletic fans. Great lung power, SUI
perb strength of limb and the heart
of a bulldog are what enable the
great Greek-Amerlcan to do it.
We have some big, powerful men
as sprinters, and stalwart Jack
Wright was a corking middle-dis-
lancer. but with the one exception Of
John DAILY. the grand old distancer
and cross-country runner OF the
Irish-American A. c.. we never have
had q runner of the herculean build
OF Gannakopulos who was able to
sustain his speed over a long route.
W. G. George. the famous English
miller, was a big, powerful man, but
he was of different mold than Clan
nakopulos. George was OF the tall.
rangy type. He was not as sturdy and
muscular as Nick.
If big Giannakopulos could thrust
up a 104-pound dumbbell from floor
10 the full length above his head
tWenty-three times il would be a won
derful feat. How much more wonder
ful, then, is the feat of 160-pound
Tsambiras, who last year astonished
the experts by hanging up that
marvellous twenty-three thrust-up rec
ord with the 1O4-pound bell?
Tsambiras's thrusting up a 104-
hound bell twenty-three times is equal
to big 2SO-poupd Paddy Ryan thrust
ing up a 1S2-pound bell like number

Bethesda Church Dedicated.

According TO the announcement in last
weeks Register, the new Southern Metho-
dist Church at Bethesda (Moler's) was
formally dedicated last Sunday morning.
The services of the day were largely at
tended, many Shephe rdstown people
being on hand early 10 inspect the new
building and congratulate the members
upon the successful completion OF their
undertaking.
Rev. VIM. S. Hammond, D. D., OF
Roanoke, Va, preached strong and ap-
propriate sermon at the morning hour.
DR.. Hammond was resident OF Shep-
herdstown some thirty years ago. his
father, Rev. VIM. q. Hammond, having
been pastor OF the M. E. Church South,
here. Following the sermon, the treas
urer OF the committee, DR.. S. 7. Knott,
stated that the entire cost OF the building
and equipment was 1850. all of which
had been fully paid. After brief state
ment by the pastor, Rev. Ab5alom Knox,
the trustees and building committee pre-
sented the new edifice for dedication.
Rev. c. Sydenstricker well-known
and popular former pastor, preached a
most acceptable sermon at the evening
hour.
The new church, which takes the place
OF the simple frame structure erected in
1874, is one OF the most beautiful 10 be
found anywhere. 1t is constructed OF a
very fine quality ofgrey stucco and heavily
pebbled. The roof is Of slate and the
steps and approaches TO the building of
concrete. The interior is considered es-
pecially attractive. The arched ceiling
and sand finished walls are tastefully dec
Grated and harmonic with the windows
which are OF best obalescent glass. The
prevailing shades throughout are amber
and light green. The floors are hard
wood, properly stained and supplemented
with rugs. The circular pewS, altar and
choir rails, and pulpit furniture are OF Su-
perior quality OF oak and beautiful in de-
sign. The furnishings throughout were
the gift OF the ladies sewing society OF the
church. The auditorium is 30 x 45 feet
and has seating capacity of about 200.
One of the most attractive features OF the
new edifice is the large vestibule, which
not only adds 10 the beauty OF the Struc-
ture but admits of an ample stairway
leading to the basement of the church.
The basement, which is 10 be the Sunday
school and social room Of the church has
concrete floors and the walls and is sup
piled with abundance OF light, and has
seating capacity Of $50. A furnace is TO
be placed in this room and provision has
been made for any needed social work OF
the community. This is the only part OF
the church equipment that has not been
completely furnished, but at an early date
all will be in readiness for constant use.
Too much credit cannot be given 10
the pastor, Rev. Mr.. Knox, for he has
given largely OF time and means 10 bring
the work TO successful completion, and
has been untiring in his efforts TO keep
the work moving, and we rejoice with
him in the elimination Of this good work.

Contract Let For Waterworks.

Waterworks for Shepherdstown now
seem to be an assured fact, for the coun-
Gil has granted a satisfactory franchise,
the money for the enterprise has been ar
ranged for, and, best Of all, the contract
for the construction of the waterworks
system was let on Monday. II is expect
ed that work will begin in a very few
days, and it is stated that the plant will
be completed within ninety days from
the time operations have started. The
work OF installing the system will be I'M
der the direction OF the executive commit
tee of the Shepherdstown Light and Pow
er Company, composed of c. D. Wy
song, S. J. Hodges, Harrison Schley, E.
L. Goldsborough. w. H. Staley and K.
c. Ringgold.
The contract for the laying of the pipe,
excavations and back filling, making the
house connections, ETC., has been let to
q. c. Ensign Qnc.) OF Camp Hill, Pa
who is said to be contractor OF expert
ence and ability, at a cost OF something
over $1,000. The contractor will pur-
chase for the water company all the pipe
and other materials necessary for the
work on a commission Of per cent.
The estimated cost of the plant COM
plete has been figured at SIS, SOC, So.
TEa IL 60 tIa ,,,afarunrEc contain
plates supply of water from deep wells.
A LOT for the wells and pumping station
has been purchased from E. H. Remnant,
and the first well, OF eight inch bore, will
be put down at once on this lot, which is
located on Fairveiw avenue and the town
run. E. E. Allen, of Ripon, has the con-
tract for boring the well and will start
work at once. II is thought that an ample
supply of pure water will be obtained at
moderate depth, as has been the case with
other wells in that section. From this
we'll the water will be forced into large
tank 10 be elevated on tower upon the
high hill on E. L. Goldsborough's prop
erly at the edge OF town, along the alley
south of Main street. This elevation will
give ample pressure for all ordinary pur-
poses, and is splendid location for a
reservoir, being practically in the town
and easily accessible.
We think that everybody in the COM
munity will now rejoice over the fact that
we are at last TO have system OF water
works for Shepherdstown. 1t has been
crying necessity for many, many years
the one thing needful to make our town
a genuinely desirable place in which to
live-and we hope that the project may
be quickly and satisfactorily pushed to
successful completion, and that il may
prove a profitable investment 10 those
who have invested their money in it.
Practically all OF the capital has been fur
nished by our home men, and as the new
company will own both the water and the
lighting systems, we have no doubt that
it will be good thing for the owners.
Our people generally ought to give
hearty encouragement and liberal support
TO the new enterprise, both publicly and
privately, and all pull together for the
success of this most desirable public i'm
provement.

Morgan's Grove Notes.


The buildings and grounds al Morgan'S
Grove were never in better shape than
at present. A fresh coat OF whitewaSh
has been applied 10 all the buildings and
the recent rains have made the grass a
most beautiful green. Nearly all the tents
have been reserved for the season and
the social features Of the fair will not be
neglected.
The advance entries for the Horse Show
indicate that there will be two full DAYS Of
this feature OF the fair. The Baby show
on Friday and the Tournament on the
same day will make a double bill that will
be most attractive TO large number OF
people. The riders from Maryland will
be here in large numbers again.
If all plans prevail, there will be an
abundant supply Of music for the fair. II
is proposed TO have different band for
each day and the list includes The Ha-
gerstown Band, The Rohersville Band,
and probably the Winchester Band.
All persons desiring tents should make
their wants known 10 the secretary moi
later than Saturday of this week, after
that new reservations will be made.
The Staey Amusement Company will
be present with their merry-go-round
and the Ferris Wheel TO amuse the little
ones.
All stockholders and friends OF the fall
are urged TO make as may exhibits as
possible so that the 1916 Fair will eclipse
all previous fairs in the long history o.
Morgan's Grove.
The doors OF the Ladies Department
at the fair will be closed at o'clock or
Tuesday. All articles must be entered
prior TO that fine.
