Farmers to be Asked to Help

Maryland farmers will soon be
asked for direct contributions of wheat
and corn for the relief of famine
stricken peoples of southeastern
Europe and plans are being made
fer the organization Of local agencies
for collecting and forwarding Mary
land grain,' similar to the gift-corn
projects conducted successfully thru
out the west.
The plight Of the people of south
ern Europe and the imperative ne
cessity for additional supplies to care
for the refugees in the territory where
the Greeks and Turks are fighting,
has been brought to the attention of
d. G. Harry, President of the Mary
land Agricultural Society and DR.. F..
B. Bomberger, Acting Director of
the University of Maryland Exten-
sion Service, who in turn have pre-
sented the facts to the various county
organizations, urging such response
as the farmers feel capable of max
ing. The campaign has been set for
August 1st to 18th.

Thurmont Wins an Uphill Fight

Comirg from behind and overcoming
lead of four runs. EThurmont put up a
hard fight and finally defeated Woods
boro Saturday afternoon on the local
field by score of 9-5. The visitors Sc
cured 16 hits off Freezes delivery but
were unable to shove more than runs
across, and only three of them earned, a
very remarkable circumstance. Thur
mont secured hits and runs, 8 of the
'runs being earned.
The local infield played wonderful ball
throughout the game, making many
plays that nipped in the bud Woodsboro's
chances to score. With Roy Creeger
holding down the keystone sack it seemed
like old times. Johnny Creeger has de-
veloped into whirlwhind first-baseman
despite his small stature. Eddie Creeger
plays equally we'll no matter where he
is placed. "Vic" Birely on third is max
ing long strides toward perfection in
holding down the hot corner Ecker,
behind the bat, is an aggressive player
and is a dangerous man at bat, for he
can change his position to either side of
the plate and hit the ball. Freeze is the
pitching ace and is one of the best in the
county league.
The outfield was considerably ."off
color" excepting Eaton, recent conner
in local baseball circles. Eaton fields a
ball fast and clean and has a powerful
wing. Williar missed several good chances
that resulted in runs for the visitors.
Woodsboro came here with the conf
dencs of having won the game before it
was played. They soon came down off
their high horse, however, and were
forced to realize the superiority of the
home team.
Smith. their best pitcher. did not have
much to offer and was rather easy. B.
Legore, their shortstop, made the best
showing of the entire team. Ernest
Stoner, former Thurmont player. got
a tiple, driving the ball almost to the
goal posts for the longest hit of the day
The attendance was enormous, there
being. according to the Frederick Post,
800 fans on hand to see Woodsboro wal
loped. M. J. Thompson, president of
league, was "among those present.

The standing of the Thurmont club
has been changed, dropping into second
place by decision of President Thomp-
son regarding the forfeited Brunswick
game on July 16. The following item
clipped from the Post of August gives
clear explanation of the incident:
''The Brunswick -Thurmont game, for
feited to the latter club by the umpire
on July 16, will be played over, Pres-
dent Mike" Thompson has ruled.
"After thorough investigation, Pres
dent Thompson stated that this seemed
the only fair thing to do under the cir
cumstances. 1t appears that a rival
club of the league team, also purporting
to represent Brunswick, scheduled
game for the same field and also borrow
ed three members of the county league
team.
Finding the town diamond in use, an
agreement was reached between the man.
ayers of the Thurmont and Brunswick
teams to play the game on the high
school diamond. But manager Chambers
found that the loss of the three men
playing with the other Brunswick team
left him shy one player. And he. was
unable to begin his game with only eight
men.
Manager Clyde Shaver, Thurmont,
said that he could not wait for the other
game to be finished, and an umpire went
out upon the field and pronounced the
game forfeited subject to President
Thompson's approval.
1.-The latter decided sthat the circum-
stances of the case seemed to justify the
game being played over since the Bruins
wick team was taken at disadvantage,
beirg placed there by circumstances over
which they had no control and for which
they should not be punished.

"True Blue" and the "BIue Ribbon"

"True Blue" and the "Biue Ribbon"
The expression true blue is handed
down from the Scotch COvenanters Of
the Seventeenth century, who chose
blue as their emblem in opposition to
the royal red. The Covenanters were
group bound ty a series Of covenants
to uphold the Presbyterian forms and
doctrines Of faith. Thus true blue was
applied originally to loyal Presby-
terian. The blue ribbon, always the
reward Of the winner In a race or con-
test originated in the use Of blue
ribbon as the distinguishing badge Of
the Knights of the Garter, an order
founded by Edward Ill.
