LEEDS. England, April "a
Members of the American Ryder
Cup golf team who are studying the
famous Moortown course and are
playing practice rounds over it. de-
cided today that it is not so formi-
dable as its reputation claims it
to be.
AL Espinosa. of Chicago, whose
practice round scores have amazed
the British, is explaining to his team
mates how the handicaps may be
best overcome
Only the first. eighteenth and
part of the seventeenth holes are
visible from the clubhouse, the rest
of the course being hidden by trees.
Immediately in front of the first
tee are whins. and just beyond are
two cunning traps But, in very
dry weather good iron shot should
land the ball on Or near the green.
The second tee has been placed
several yards back among the
trees, and the tee shot should be
slightly to the left i'm order to
enable the second shot to come to
rest ON the slOping green. A
cFOSS-way series of traps faces
the third tee. and influences, ac-
cOrding to the wind. the direction
and length of the ideal drive.
This is the narrowest fairway on
the course. with heather and long
grass on either side, traps to the
left of the green, and hummocks,
long grass and trees behind.
AT the fourth tee one looks over
an area of desert country and
bunkers. frightened only by the
oasis of the green. The prospect
from the fifth tee, to the ordinary
player. is indeed formidable. A
topped shot here will mean a lost
hole, unless the other player should
follow suit. The hole is dosles
and the carry over heather and
ditch is $50 yards. Trees to the
left are out of bounds.
The sixth hole has been length
ened from 1S4 yards to 221 yards.
A first class shot means a carry OF
lSO yards over a slanting bunker
with slight pull. There is a trap

Fred Marberry, the 20O-pound
right-hander, who last week whipped
the Boston Red Sox while allow
ing only five hits, probably will be
pitched by Manager Walter John
son. while Eddie Rommell, Connie
Mack's rangy knuckle ball ace, is
his likely opponent.
For the first time during the
regular campaign the Griffmen
came through with a burst of the
preseason form that featured their
successful exhibition season. Buddy
Myers speed on the bases, as much
as anything else. placed them in
position to deliver the deciding
count in the second overtime period.
Goose Goslin opened that heat
with single into right but was
forced by Myer at second. Buddy
then took chance on Cochran's bull
let-like throwing arm and essayed
clean steal.

REDUCTION is NOTED IN
DEATH RATE IN STATE
Nearly $4,000 Lives Have Been
Saved i'm Nine Years

A reduction in the general death
rate in the State in the nine-year per-
iod ending December 81, 1928, has
been noted in the monthly bulletin of
the Maryland State Department of
Health, edited by DR.. R. H. Riley, di-
rector.
In 1919, the report states, the gen.
eral death rate in Maryland was 1873
per thousand estimated population; III
1928 it was 1874. If the rate prevail
ing in 1919 had continued throughout
the nine-year period, the total num-
Der of deaths that time would have
amounted to 211,247. The total num-
Der recorded was 191 ,951, which indi-
Gates a saving of approximately 49,
900 lives during that time.
The death rate from typhoid fever
in 1919 was 11.S per hundred thous-
and estimated population; in 1928 it
was 5.2-a reduction of over so per-
cent. If the 1919 rate had prevailed
to 1928 the typhoid deaths would have
amounted to 1923. The total number
recovered was 969, saving of ap-
proximately $50 lives in the nine-year
period.
Health Record for February
The high death rate of 1853 in Feb
ruary reflects the prevalence of in
fuenza and pneumonia, which were
responsible for over one-fifth of the
2,119 deaths reported during the
month.
Four hundred and fifty-seven deaths
were charged to influenza and pneu-
monia, corresponding to a death rate
of 1888 per 100000 population, as
compared with 1858 in February,
1928. AS invariably happens with the
high Influenza pneumonia mortality
rate, there was also an increase in
many of the important causes of
death; Is percent Of those dying were
under five years of age. This empha-
sizes the Importance Of health work in
the pre-school group.
In February, 1929, Garrett county
reported two cases of measles, Is Of
influenza, 2 of German measles, 3
cases of broncho pneumonia.
Thirty-seven births were reported
in the county during February, with
two stillbirths.
