DREYFUS IS AN ENCYCLOPEDIA
 OF BASEBALL

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-As unique character as the administrative side of major league baseball has known is Barney, the plausible, Dreyfus, owner of the Pittsburg ball club. Other mag mates may keep in reasonably close touch with the game and it's develop ments; Barney grabs it in both of his selfstarting hands and carries it with him always. To some baseball may be hobby or a business. To Barney it is both and more-it is life
 Mention a Class D ball player of the most obscure type-Barney will know him intimately from batting weakness to his choice in neckties If he doesn't he will go to an index sys- tenn he keeps in his office, select card, glance at the hieroglyphics known only to himself and tell you everything pronto.
 Let's see," he will say. "Oh, yes! Goofus-first name Joe He was born in Medicine Hat, runs taxicab in the winter, bats and throws left-handed and prefers blondes. That boy will be a ball player some day, if he can over- come tendency to go after a high first ball on the inside. Yes, yes. lypo foth al plx and suit business in Fort Wayne, h. diana, and once ran for mayor on the Non-P Partisan ticket, his opponent hay ing a plurality of 10000. The boy himself has freckles all over his nose"
 The card index system is only the halter or check-rein upon a marvellous memory, however. Most of the tine Barney's performance is strictly i'm promptu.
 At the recent baseball meeting at Louisville Barney was approached by one Bill Jackson, a ThreeI League manager, who wished to introduce himself It wasn't necessary.
 q know you" quoth MT. Dreyfus You played semi-pro baseball around Pittsburg for some time, and then you knocked around the minors for a while. Then you got job in the Fed eral League. You were a left-hand pitcher, but when you were with the Feds you played part of the time at first base"
 According to Jackson, this data was accurate from first to last. The really remarkable feature, however, was that Jackson played semi-pro baseball around Pittsburg a mere matter of twenty years ago. Yet Dreyfus re- membered just as you would remem- Der the breakfast order you gave this morning.
 Barney does not crave popularity which is just as well. He doesn't get it. But he does command and receive respect, and, regardless of whether he may spoil ball clubs by too much man. agement of managers, he knows more baseball in a minute than some mag mates will know in a lifetime.

MURDER WAVES DESCRIBED
 BY GERMAN PSYCHOLOGIST

BERLIN, Jan. 17.-"Murder waves from time to time, and in regular intervals, threaten the civilized world" writes Leo Heller, German expert on criminal psychosis, in a Berlin paper.
 Sometimes quarter year may elapse without any capital crime being committed, when suddenly, as if something breaks down a psycho- logical barrier in the minds of crim- inals, the bounds of brutality are let loose on mankind in search of vic- tims A murder occurs somewhere, quite incidentally, it seems. But it Is the signal for sporadic outbreaks all over the country, just as if the primary outrage acts as an impulse of suggestive power on other crim- inals who long ago had planned an assault Then the wave comes ir- resistibly rolling along to smash the walls of civilization and keep the

 Experience taught German author ities and experts to watch these waves very closely, and many crime could be prevented by this anticipating watchfulness.
 "It has been ascertained that mur- ders in Berlin could be grouped in some five or six 'waves,' no serious outrages being committed during the intervals.
 ''This is not only the case with civil murder but mainly with political assaults and latest events powerfully back up the theory of murder waves"

BUREAU MINES REPORTS ON
 ALASKA GOAL

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-The h. terior Department has been particu- larly interested in the results of re- cent fuel tests of coal from both the Matanuska and Nenana fields, in Alaska. The Bureau of Mines recently announced the results of. a series of tests to determine the rela tive value of Ignite from the Me- mana field in comparison with bit luminous coal from the Matanuska field. The tests were conducted by the Alaska Experiment Station of the Bureau of Mines at the Anchor age power plant of the Alaska En- gineering Commission. In brief, the tests show that the Nenana Ignite is but little inferior to the Matan- uska bituminous, which is much more expensive to mine. Four hun dred tons of Ignite from the Healy River mine were used in the tests in comparison with bituminous taken from the Evan Jones and Baxter leases in the Matanuska field. Both the Jones and Baxter samples were taken at random from shipments and stock piles.
 The importation statistics of the re- suits may be reduced to the following table, showing the calorific value of fuel per pound, British thermal units:

 In the course of the report on the tests occur the following significant statements:

 s"The furnaces were not property designed for burning bitumlnous or Ignite coal, and it is certain that with proper design the Baxter coal in particular, and to limited extent the Eva Jones and Nenana Ignite, would show a much higher efficiency than was obtained in these tests

CRELLN ROAD MAY BE
COMPLETED This SUMMER
Following Visit of County Com
miSsiOners to Baltimore Plans
Are Announced.

Following the visit of the Gar
rett, County Commissioners
to the State Roads Commission
in Baltimore last Thursday and
Friday at which time the Gar
rett county representatives laid
before the State board the absO-
lutte necessity Of completing the
two mile gap of State road from
Crellin to the West Virginia
State line, a short distance be-
yond Hutton announcement was
made that State Roads Commits
sion would complete the road
this year provided the finances
for the purpose be raised by To-
cal people at Terra Alta, Oak
land, Hutton and Crellin and
loaned the State without inter
est for one year.
Following this suggestion a
meeting of the residents of Ter
"a Alta was held on last Friday
evening which was addressed by
Former State Senator Harvey
J. Speicher and A. r. Martin, of
Oakland, who placed the propo-
sition before the body. Some of
the Terra Altans also addressed
the meeting with the result that
within a very few minutes a
total of about $500 had been
subscribed as interest payments
and the sum Of $4,000 as a loan
was arranged with the banks at
that town, which sum will be
placed at the disposal of the
Roads Commission as soon as
that body indicates its desire to
begin operations.
Garrett county people will
be asked to arrange for the bal
ance Of the sum necessary for
the work, it being approximate
ly $4,000.

More Pure Bred Rams Of Quality
Needed.
(By County Agent Jester.)

by County Agent Jester.)
Within recent months consider
able number of Maryland sheepmen
have indicated a desire to purchase
purebred rams. Some have been in
terested in the possibility OF secur-
ing both ewes and rams of pure
breeding. Unquestionably, there is
need for a greatly increased number
of purebred flocks in the State, for
many flock owners are now unable to
secure from nearby breeders the pure
bred rams needed for use in their
Hocks. Growers of early lambs for
market on for retaining in their
tiocks who have made use Of good,
purebred rams are well pleased with
the Improvement which has been eff
fected. In this connection, sum-
mary Of Tennessee experiment is of
much interest.
Vice-Dean C. A. Wilson, of the
Tennessee Experiment Station, has
supplied valuable information rela-
tive to the outcome of an experiment
recently conducted in Tennessee to
compare lambs sired by scrub ram
with lambs sired by purebred rams of
four mutton breeds-Hampshire, Ok
ford, Shropshire and Southdown. The
ewes which produced the lambs were
native ewes. In all, 1T lambs were
marketed.
The ninety-three lambs sired by
the purebred mutton rams averaged
74.9 pounds in weight at an average
age of 100 days. These lambs brought
Sl3.O2 per head at Nashville on May
3, 1922. The twenty---four lambs
sired by the scrub ram We're market
ed the same day. They averaged 100
pounds in weight at 100 days of age.
The scrub lambs brought S1O.93 per
head, or $500 apiece less than the
average price of the lambs sired by
purebred rams.
If it is assumed that ram win
sire thirty lambs each year, this av-
erage increased value at market of
S2.09 per head would show an in
crease in gross returns Of S62.7O on
account Of the use of purebred NUT
ton type ram.
The present seems to be a most adj
vantageous time to begin the use of
purebred mutton rams on large
number of Garrett county farms
where scrubs have thus far been too
abundantly prevalent.

Julius Jordan, Slavish Miner, of
Near Oakland, Held as Result

Paul Mukush, aged 40 years,
a Russian miner who was stab
bed in the stomach at Vindex on
Monday morning of last week,
an account Of which appeared in
The Republican last Thursday,
died on Friday night at nine
O'Clock in a cumberland hospital
to which .citution he was i'm
mediatel taken following the
affair, and julius Jordan, who
resided with his wife and seven
children on a farm near the c..
F. Glotfelty place, six miles out
from Oakland until he went to
VindeX to works. in the Garrett
County Jail on the charge of ~
ing responsible for Muk ,oh's
death.
Jordan was arrested at Vim
deX Saturday morning by Sher-
if Jesse J. Ashby, who brought
the prisoner to Jail here the
same afternoon where he will be
held for the June term of the
Circuit Court.
Following the assault on Mukush
Jordan was Immediately placed under
arrest by the authorities at Vindex
and the extent Of BIukush's injuries
not being known at tn etime the man
was placed under a nominal bond for
his appearance at the June term of
the Circuit Court in Oakland.
Immediately following the an
nouncement that the man had sue
cumbed to his injuries Sheriff Ashby
went to NindeZ and placed Jordan
under arrest.
Mukush's injuries were thought at
first to be Of a minor nature, but
blood poisoning set in following the
operation and his death resulted.
Jordan claims that he acted in self
defense. He is q Slay and has been
in this section of the county for some

ity Of Crellin until recently when he
went to NindeX and took up his quar-
|teEs- with ether miners i'll a shacl,
where they lived and did their own
cooking.
Jordan claims that on Sunday ev-
ening preceding the stabbing affair,
Mulush was under the influence of
moonshine and had made an unpro-
voked attack upon him. Monday the
quarrel was renewed and Mukush as
saulted him again, this time attack
ing him with a heavy bar of iron
which was used in the kitchen Of the
shack as a stove poker. To save his
own life Jordan declares that the only
recourse he had was to use his
knife upon his assailant.
Mukush's remains were inferred in
Cumberland on Saturday.

KEYSER C0LLEGIANS WENT
HOME With THE BACON
Local Basketeers Outclassed In
Every Department Last Night

The far-famed Keyser Collegians
We're the attraction in MAYORS Hall
last night in a game in which they
outclassed Hoyt's local tossers in ev-
cry department Of play, defeating the
latter by the score Of 1924.
The game was fast and interest
ing despite the Iopsidad aspect of the
score, and Oakland went into the
game minus the services of Big Bob
Scott, who started for town in his
car and got mired in the mud between
Hutton and Crellin. This forced the
local captain to substitute Herman
Aahl, whose basketbau experience
in fast company is nil, at the impor-
tant guard position, the result being
that Oakland's defense was materi-
ally weakened and many a Keyser
shot went through unmolested.
The fans were treated to some of
the fastest and classiest shooting ever
seen here, the work of Parrish, Key
Sers big center, and Shaffer, running
guard, standing out prominently. Glib
son, star forward, did not extend HIM
self, having been injured in game
last Saturday night at Keyser, but
demonstrated that he was in the
game by looping four long shots.
Bosley also was successful in drop
ping four through the basket, one
being of the sensational variety.
For the locals, Dewey Rice played
the game of his life, garnering six
nice shots, despite the expert defense
Of the visitors. Hoyt was held to two
goals and Bolden got three.
