Pitching Is Weak

Neither the Yanks nor the Indians
have been able to get the expected re-
suits from their pitchers. Along with
the collapse of their pitching staff,
the champions have also been nursing
first class batting slump.
Higgins blamed the poor start of
the Yanks to the bad weather in Bosl
ton. but he offered no explanation of
the reason why the weather con
ditions did not handicap the Red Sox
as well.

TELEPKONE DIRECTORY
ALMOST HALL OF FAME
. dam, Caesar And Many Other I'm
nortals On List OF New York
Subscribers.

Adam never had telephone, but
his name is listed in the New York
city telephone directory just the same.
so are the names of Moses Homer,
alexander, Caesar, Cicero and many
hers famous In various fields of hui
J an endeavor.
Nomenclature is fascinating study,
and New Yorks telephone book, with
It's list OF 765, 1000 names, is a fertile
field for investigation. Here will be
found not only the surnames of Byron,
Shelley and Keats, but also those Of
Pope, Barns, Scott, Carlyle, Macauley,
Tennyson, Poe and Stevenson. Other
distinguished characters whose names
appear among the New York telephone
subscribers are Columbus, Cromwell
and Napoleon-indeed, the list might
he extended almost indefinitely.
While New York has more telephone
subscribers than any other city In the
world, 1t has by no means a monopoly
on famous names; and an interesting
hour can be spent in seeing how many

The youthful devil dog" formed the
acquaintance of General Williams when he
and fellow officers were entertained at the
Nicholson home last week while the ma
rines were encamped for the night near
Rockville. Upon learning that the little
fellow would enjoy nothing more than to
accompany the boys" to Antietam, Gen.

arrange it and the following day had the
department issue special order desie-
mating him as special aid to the COM
mandant.
Mounted on his pony an inseparable
companion, Tinkle. Leonard rode by the
officers at the head of the procession as
it wendell its way to Antietam and will
continue to occupy that position on the
march back home.

That Mrs. Caroline Rose Gather was the
lawful wife of the late Cecil E. Gather. of
this vicinity, at the time of his death, in
1921, was the decision Of a jury in the
circuit court here last week.
Mr.. Gather left personal property Of the
value of about $4,000 and the admins
traitor, Stanley Gather. a brother. held
that his brother and the woman were
never married and that, therefore, she was
not entitled to the one-half interest that
would have been hers had the two been
married. The orphans court sent the case
to the circuit court for adjudication.
Mrs. Gather contended that she and
Cecil E. Gather were married in Florida
by Methodist minister in 1909. Testi-
mony was given that she and Mr.. Gather
had bought and transferred property as
man and wife and that he had always
introduced her as his wife wherever he
went. The case consumed three days and
was stubbornly fought. Attorney John A..
Garrett, of Rockville, and Baden & Rosen-
field. Of Baltimore city. appeared for Mrs.
Gather and Attorneys Albert M. Bouic
and Vim. H. Talbot, Of Rockville, repre-
sented the administrator. Mrs. Gather is
