BusH MAKING GOOD


Owen Bush was a star as big
league ball player. 1t looks very
much as if he is to repeat his sue
cess as a manager.
AS pilot of the Pittsburgh club, he
is showing the way to the rest of the
National league managers and is
favored to win. He has good team
and is handling it well.
Bush gained his fame in the big
show as member of the Detroit
Tigers of the American league. Well
do 1 recall his debut as a member of
that club.
Detroit had won the pennant in
1907 and seemed to have enough stuff
to repeat. However, late in the year,
due to injuries, the club had make
shift infield. Help was badly needed
at shortstop.
A youngster by the name of Bush
was going big for Indianapolis. The
scouts pronounced him a marvellous
fielder, but many had their doubts as
to his ability to hit big league pitch
ing.
Bush, by the way, was the
property of the Detroit club at
the time.s He had been secured
in the draft from South Bend of
the Central league and sent to
indianapolis for seasoning.

LOVED TO WIN ALWAYS

AS usually is the case, Bush upset
the dope and made the expert opinion
of the scouts look bad by hitting the
ball SO points better than his minor
league record.
Bush joined the club too late that
fall to be eligible in the world series.
No doubt the Tigers would have made
a better showing against the Chicago
Cubs had be been in the lineup.
AS a player, Bush was of the
pleasingly aggressive type. He fought
every inch of the way, but was always
the geneltman, never the roWdy
There never was a harder loser
in base ball than Bush. He thorough
ly liked toa win I have my serious
doubts as to whether he enjoyed his
evening meal when the Tigers lost a
game.

Pirates, for they have staged
many a late inning rally to win
a ball game that seemed lost.

happened to be the umpire in
charge of the first game Bush played
in the American league. doubt ii
any recruit ever made more sensa-
tional start in the majors, particularly
as to fielding. M
On three occasions he went to his
left into second base territory and
made one-handed stops OF balls which
the late Herman Schaefer, playing sec
ond, couldn't quite reach. In each
instance he got his fan at first.
Schaefers who had keen sense of
humor, would argue with Bush after
each ball as to his coming into Sec
ond base territory, using much pan
tomime. The crowd realized it was
all in fun and Schaefer's antics helped
Bush to a great getaway.
Bush played 20 games for De-
trOit that fall and his sensational
work aided greatly in the winning
of the pennant by the Tigers.

GEORGES CREEK DERIVED
ITS NAME FROM INDIAN
Story Is Told In Old Western
Maryland History.

How Georges Creek was named for
George, an Indian, who made his
home with Daniel Cresap, is told in an
old Western Maryland history, found
in a Baltimore library by John Stan
ley, formerly of Piedmont, West Va.
The story follows:
"Nemacolin, an Indian, who was
strongly attached to the Cresap fam
lily, and was employed by Col. Thomas
Cresap to mark the route from Cum
berland to Redstone, now Brownsville,
on the Monongahela, performed his
work so we'll that Gen. Braddock, who
afterwards traversed the mountains
in 1856, followed the path marked out
by Nemacolin, and the present loca-
ton of the National Road varies but
little from it.
"Nemacolin, after lingering for sew
eral years behind his brethren, who
had gone towards the setting sun,
making his home with Daniel Cresap,
followed his tribe; but before leaving
he placed his son George, with Daniel
Cresap and left him behind.
George lived with the family for
years, going occasionally on the hunt
but always returning to Cresap's. He
died at the family residence, in old
age, cared for by the family of Thorn
as, the youngest son of Daniel, who
resided in the family mansion, stone
house afterwards occupied by Moses
Rawlings. This house is situated IL
miles above Cumberland by rail. In
dian George for years had his hunt
ing camp in the valley which lies be-
tween Dams and Savage Mountains.
The valley is traversed by a small
stream which takes its rise at Frost
burg and running south empties into
the Potomac at Westernport, opposite
the town of Piedmont. The stream
has been called Georges Creek from
this circumstance from that time

Trees to be Distributed For
Roadside Planting.

The State Forestry Department for
several years has been distributing, at
low cost, trees for reforesting waste
land to encourage the planting of
trees. Applications for trees from
the State nursery, for several years,
have greatly exceeded the supply, in
dicating not only that the nursery is
rendering real service but it also
emphasizes the need of applying early
to be sure of getting trees. Apply to
the State Department of Forestry,
1411 Fidelity Building, Baltimore, Md.
The trees for distribution this fall
and next spring are of two classes,
the small ones for forest or windbreak
planting and larger ones for planting
along roadsides. They are distributed
at cost, which varies from one-quarter
cent each for the small seedlings 3-5
inches, to 20 cents each for pine trans
plants two and three feet high for
windbreak planting. Larger trees for
roadside planting range in size from
3 feet to II feet and from 20 cents to
IS cents each, depending upon kind
and size.
The list contains pines, spruces, fir,
arbor vitae, cypress, oaks, ash, tulip
poplar, black walnut, red gum, and
black locust for windbreak planting,
and elm, ash, walnut, honey locust
tulip poplar, Oriental plane, red gum
naples, oaks of three kinds, coffee
tree, catalpa, larch and cypress for
roadside planting.

DEVELOP NEW PROCESS
FOR MANUFACTURE OF
HARDWOOD NEWSPRINT

"A new pulping process which pro-
duces high yield Of cheap print paper
from hardWoods and offers the possi-
bility Of shifting the burden of news
print production from spruce, which
is being imported in large quantities,
to the hardwood forests of the north,
east and south, has been developed at
the forest products laboratory at
Madison, Wise, according to the for
est service. Through the use of
rod mill, hollow, horizontal, steel
cylinder half filled with steel or
bornze rods, hardwood chips are re-
duced to fiber by rotating the cylin-
der.
The substitution of the rod mill
processing for a certain amount Of
chemical treatment brings about d
high yield by reducing the amount of
fiber which would go into solution in
the treating liquors in an all-chem-
ical disintegration, the forest service
points out. The distinctive feature of
the new, or seni-chemical process, is
that only mild chemical treatment is
used before the wood in the form of
chips, is reduced to the proper pulp
consistency in a rod mill.
Paper of the weight and thickness
of neWsprint made wholly from semi
chemical pulp of black, tupelo, or red
gum, or aspen, birch, or maple, was
found to have a greater strength than
the present commercial newsprint. In
the case Of gums, the department in
dicates that provided black and red
heart-wood have been excluded, the
color of the paper can be made to
equal or excel that of standard news
print.
Pulp made by this new process
from aspen and birch can be substi-
tuted for over so per cent of the
standard newsprint mixture of ground
wood and sulphite pulp without sacri-
flee of quality. In fact, the forest
service points out that ground wood
pulp and the new semi-chemical pulp
can be combined without sulphite
pulp, although the sheet made with
out sulphite is rather weak when wet
and requires care in handling, on the
wet end of the paper machine.
The introduction of semi-chemical
pulp from aspen and birch and pos
sibly maple should assist materially
in continuing the newsprint supply in
the northern and northeastern regions.
The supply of gum in the southern
states offers an excellent opportunity
for the development of print paper
in a region which has hitherto been
excluded from serious consideration
for the purpose because of lack of
spruce and hemlock for ground wood
and for sulphite pulp.

Would Abolish State Engineer
And Create Highway Commission

state highways and what roads shall
be classed as county highways.
The present department has been
severely criticized at times for its al
legged refusal to handle the work on
the highway and to purchase supplies
under the competitive bid system.
This is responsible for section in
the bill making it mandatory for the
commission to advertise for bids on
all contracts estimated at $4,000 or
more, and on all supplies amounting
to $500 or more. Bids may be re-
jected, however, and upon their being
twice rejected the work may be done
on force account or the supplies pur-
chased in the open market.
Another important change in the
functioning of the department is made
by taking it out from under the con-
troll Of the board Of direcors of state
institutions. This body is now en-
trusted with all negotiations with the
federal government in the securing of
federal aid. Under the bill this func-
tion would be exercised by the COM
mission.
The bill abolishes the present of
flee Of state engineer, leaving it to
the commission to select a highway
engineer, who in turn would name his
deputy and assistants. Each engineer
would be required to post bond in the
sum of $4,000.
