OAKLAND HIGH WON BIG
GAME OVER BARTON HIGH
Turkey" Henry McCOmas' SUI
peri0r Playing Smashes a
5-Year Record

Last Monday night the Oakland
High School basketball team sur
prised the Barton Braves as we'll as
all who saw the game, when they de-
feated the crack Georges Creek team
by score of 1929 in a very fast.
clean and clever game on the floor
of the Barton organization.
Too much Turkey" proved fatal to
the Barton basketeers and resulted in
smashing their record of not losing
single game played on their home
floor in five years.
McComas proved to be the best
shot appearing on the Barton floor in
long time, he being able to make
baskets from all angles. Pollock, his
running mate, also went wild and the
pair of them scored 28 of the 80
points made by the local team. Lewis
and the little Wolf brothers kept the
ball up the floor for the forwards and
also prevented the Barton cagers scor-
ing.
Ernie Schramm proved to be the
pivot man for Barton, scoring four
teen points for the losers.
At the end of the half time Oak
land led the score by 17-13. Barton
led the score at only one phase of the
game which was at the end of the
third quarter when the score stood
2O-19 in their favor. The Braves rail-
lied at one or two periods, but Me-
CoWas broke in with a wonderfully
long shot and tied the score, from
which time Oakland began to climb
and maintained the lead until the
final whistle.
Oakland also owes a lot to Elliott
Nefflen, of Keyser, who refereed the
game and gave both sides square
deals in his decisions.

Long Pilgrimage To Rome Made Afoot by
 Mother and Children

ROME, July 31. P)-Thousands of devout Catholics have made Holy Year pilgrimages to Rome. but few have come in the manner in which the word truly connotes. One such, however has been completed by Lui- sa Cruces, a Spanish woman living in Morocco, with her three children, whose ages are seven, four and two years.
 Sonora Cruces left Morocco with her little brood on December g, 1924 and they made practically the whole journey on foot They stated with 25 pesetas in their possession, and turnout the trip they had no other means of support, except from the sale of picture postcards showing their photograph. For the most part they slept on the grass under the stars or along the sand beaches, but occasionally they were taken in by kind people along their route.
 They have received the special Holy Year Benediction from Pope Plus XI.

BABY PEGGY HAS
 STRONG HUMAN ROLE

As the proof of the pudding lies in the eating" the proof of dram attic ability for motion pictures lies in the reflection of ones talent on the screen.
 When Baby Peggy, the tiny star of "The Family Secret" the Uni versal-Jewel production which op ened at the Liberty last night, was doing small parts in comedies, ru mors used to float out of the movie colony in California that the child was due for great things. She was called Baby Bernhardt' and oth CT complimentary things.
 Then the Stern brothers of the Century Comedies announced that through an arrangement with Uni versal the child was to be starred in series of multi-reel productions at the Universal studios.
 The picture is one of three made under such an arrangement. It is a screen adaptation of Frances Hodg son Burnett's famous novel, "Editha's Burglar and the story has beer carefully built around the child star
 Peggy proves to very marked degree in this picture that he press agenting was not based on an idle dream. The child has a naturalness that is winning, and a knowledge of mimicry that is cleverly utilized She can look sad and cry, too, in { manner that touches the hear strings. In addition to her ability the child has an unusually charm ing baby personality and beauti full eyes.
 The picture was carefully direct ed by William Setter with a view tt bringing out the best of the young ster's ability and the supporting cast is of exceptional worth, includ ing Gladys Hulette, Edward Earle Frank Currier and Cesare Gravina.

 To Be Preserved Empty

NAPLES, July 31.

 AFTER 19 YEARS LAPSE

HAVANA, July 31. P-Capital punishment, unknown in Cuba since 1906, is to have a revival President Machado, recently stated that all fu- ture death sentences will be execu- ted. Two cases, both from Pinar del Rio, have been confirmed by the criminal section of the Supreme court, sentencing Valentin Martinez and Nazario Hernandez to death.
 T have not yet received the sen tence which condemns to death Mar tinez," said Secretary of Justice Bar raque, "but if there exists no reason to the contrary, it is certain that the president and his secretary of jus tice will inflexibly comply with the law.
 And the sentence of death of our courts, to whose mapesty we all have profound respect, will be com piled with quickly and without pro- crastination, in the form which our legislation places in force"
 Secretary of the Presidency Virato Gutirrez, in an emphatic statement, said the President intended to sane ton the sentence as soon as it reach es him, and does not intend to com mute any death sentences imposed by the courts, but vii see that they are carried out.
 Closely following the statement of Secretary Gutierrez was the action of the Supreme Court in confirming a second death sentence which the Audiencia Court of Pinar del Rio had imposed on Nazario Hernandez oi Pinar del Rio.
 Valentin Martinez was tried and convicted for the murder of his wife Paula Ledesma, on the night oi March 29, 1923, in Candelaria, Pinal del Rio province.
 Nazario Hernandez was given the supreme penalty for the killing oi his illegitimate daughter in Pinar deI Rio during November, 1923. The childs mother was Rosalina Lopez sister of his wife.

The present executioner, An tonic de Paula Romero, was appoint ed June 12, 1922.
