THURMONT LOSES THE
DECIDING GAME

DEClDlNG GAME
The deciding game of the series of
three between the Thurmont and
Woodsboro baseball teams was play
ed on Saturday afternoon at Agricul-
tural Park, Frederick, before crowd
of at least 1000, the largest at that
field since the opening game of the
Blue Ridge League.
All the officials of the League and
officers of the other clubs of the cir
cult were present.
Neither team played in it's usual
style, which is to be regretted, as
both played better ball during the en-
tire season.
The first game, at Woodsboro, each
team was credited with two errors;
that of Wednesday, in Thurmont, each
had five errors. These were fast and
well played games. Saturdays game
contained 2s errors.
The outstanding features were the
one-hand catch of line drive by Roy
Creeger, the fielding of P. Kelbaugh
and the work of B. Legore at the bat.
Not one fly ball went to Thurmont's
center field and only one to right.
"Big Jim" Legore had three but this
was his off day and he dropped then
all.

EASY WAY TO CRACK NUTS
Scientists Rscommsnd Use Of Liquid
Air as Best Means Of Getting
at Delectabls Kernel.

Liquid air for cracking nuts is the
latest application Of science. Science
and Invention relates that experts at
the national bureau of standards In
Washington were appealed to for a
method Of breaking the shells Of
chicha nuts without damaging the
kernels. They found that it took a
weight of nearly TON to crack the
shells, and that after that effort the
meat Of the nut was broken In many
small pieces.
Then they applied liquid air to the
problem. They did not freeze solid a
piece Of rubber and use it as ham,
mer, as Is done in the classic stunt Of
physics. but they simply immersed the
nuts in liquid air for 80 seconds and
cracked them easily without damage
to the kernels. Now the physicists
are trying to find out whether this
method can be applied commercially
on a large scale.
Chicha nuts are grown In South
America. Their dense. strong shells
were used during the war to make
charcoal for gas masks, and the oil
from the kernels Is valuable food
similar to copra.

George w. StOcksdale

Mr.. George Washington Stocksdale
one of the oldest citizens and mer-
chants of Thurmont, died Sunday
evening, September II, 1922, at his
home on Carroll Street.
For many years Mr.. Stocksdale has
been ailing, at times having severe at
tacks of stomach trouble. For several
weeks he had been able to be about the
house and store. Sunday morning he
attended church as was his custom;
during the afternoon it became neces-
sary to call his physician, but his con-
dition continued to grow worse, and he
peacefully passed away in the evening.
Funeral services were held Wednes-
day morning at his home, and inter-
ment made in the family lot in the
United Brethren cemetery; Rev. w.
Stanley Jones, his pastor, officiated at
the services.
His age was 80 years, months and
20 days.
Mr.. Stocksdale was a son of Noah
and Catherine (Haines) Stocksdale,
was born December 1S, 1881, and rear
ed on the old farm in Carroll County,
Md. He was one of fourteen children,
eight of whom grew to maturity.
In 1856 he engaged in the mercan-
tile business at Finksburg, Nd, where
he remained eleven years, meeting
with much success. He then came to
Thurmont (then Mechanicstown) and
established a general lumber business
in 1868. In 1870 he engaged in the
general merchandise business. For
the first eighteen months he had as a
partner, John H. Chew; he then
bought Mr.. Chew's interest and con-
Quoted it in his own name until 1884,
when he sold half interest to Martin
T. Bussard. This partnership contin-
ued until 1889 when he purchased Mr..
Bussard's share and has since that
time, with the assistance of his son,
Charles R. Stocksdale, conducted a
general warehouse business.

REQUIESCAT IN PACE

The following item appeared in the
Frederick Post under a double column,
24-point extra condensed Cheltenham
bold two-line heading entitled: "Thur-
mont goes in mourning because of
defeat at hands of Woodsboro Club"
1t says:
"To have your team beaten out for
the league pennant and trounced by
II to score would seem to be bad
enough but to awake the morning
after such a disaster and find your
town decorated as for funeral would
make most people feel like things
had been rubbed in" for fair. That is
exactly what happened to the north
county town of Thurmont.
'The team representing this town
won the Frederick County League
pennant in 1921 and won the first
eight games played in the 1922 season
and then hit a slump which resulted
in its finishing the season tied for
first place with the Woodsboro ball
team.
"Three games were played to break
the tie. The first two games resulted
in an even break, each club bagging
one victory. The playing of third
game was necessary and this contest
was staged before a huge crowd at
Agricultural Park, this city, Saturday
afternoon, and resulted in a Woods
boro victory.
'"The town of Thurmont retired Sat-
urday night to sleep on the defeat
and awoke the following morning to
find the entire town decorated with
crepe and notices plastered every
where stating that the funeral of the
deceased would be II to s.
Samuel Freeze, star moundsman
for Thurmont, found his front door
we'll draped and on it was a sign
which read, "Killed by Lynn Smith"
Smith was Woodsboro's one best
pitching bet during the past season.
"Mehril Ecker found crepe flying at
his home when~7he awoke Sunday
morning. 'Mehril departed this life
at Agricultural Park, Frederick, the
afternoon of September 16, 1922
read a sign over his door.
Similar decorations and signs were
posted at the front of the houses of
each and every member of the Thur
mont ball team. Crepe was also flying
from the street lights, telephone poles,
and from every street corner appris-
ing passersby of the fact that the en-
tire town had "croaked" and that the
funeral would be at II to 8.
"The people of Thurmont took the
joke good-naturedly. The signs and
decorations were collected and plac-
ed in the windows of various stores
as the compliments of the town of
Woodsboro. 1t is not known why a
band was not engaged to, play fun
eral march. Should Thurmont win the
pennant next year Woodsboro will be
similarly decorated, according to
residents of the north county town,
and the band will be at hand for the
occasion"
Tis pity, 'tis true; pity it's it's true.
Thurmont's real sorrow is that the
leading clubs in the County League
did not play the game of which they
were capable.
