Central Ball
Team Defeated

Central Union high schools dia-
mond performers lost their first
game of the season Saturday after
noon when they went down to dc.
feat at the hand of the Brawley
school. The final score was 12 to
3.
Ragged support in the field and
the inability to hit the offerings of
Westgard, Brawley hurler, was the
reason for the rather unexpected re-
verse. Wcstgard had his curve ball
working to perfection striking out
% of the FL Centre boys and allow
ing only five hits. Ehmke, locai
hurler, smacked out two of tho
quintet.
Ehnlke was not at his best on tho
mound Saturday, allowing nine safe
wallops and walking five of the op-
position. His support was not OF
high order, nine errors being chalk
cd up by the FL Centre defense.
Only one home run was made dur.
ing the fray, Lovelady of Brawley
smarking the round tripper with
one on base in the seventh frame.
Brawley and Calexico are now
tied for the top rung of the intei
scholastic league with two victories
each. The border team defeated
Holtville Saturday to 5. FL Centre
plays Calipatria this week end.

oughly that some divisions of the Turks with
drew from the field. A contingent Of Tatars
from Asia Minor, impressed into service by
Bayald, discovered that their own lords were
with Timur, and took advantage Of the con-
fusion to desert the Turks
WHEN Muir ad-Din had things well in hand
w upon the right, the left wing of the Tatar
cavalry advanced in three waves, breaking
through the Turkish skirmishers, and over
throwing the poorly mounted Turkish cavalry
at this point. They went so far that Timur
could no longer see them.
It was then that Prince Muhammad galloped
back to his grandfather and dismounted.
Throwing himself on his knees he begged per-
mission to advance with the Tatar center upon
the masses of Bayazid's infantry. This consent
Timur would not give
Instead he ordered Muhammad to take the
Samarkand corps and division of the bahaturs
the picked men Of the Tatars-and go at
once to support the left wing that had over
reached itself.
SO the favorite grandson of the old conqueror
lifted his red standard and galoped of, followed
by the flower of Thurs army. And at a gallop
he struck into the most serious fighting of the
day-where the mailed Serbian cavalry, caught
motionless by the Tatars, struggled for life, and
the groups of sta1wart European infantry he'd

and here the gallant Muhammad was so injured
that he had to dismount. But Bayazids right
wing was crumpled up.
DAYAzID was left with the mass of his in

while the Tatar horsemen closed in upon the
right and left Then Timur took command OF
the Tatar center and advanced.

They were e-doomed, their situation hopeless,
their emperor helpless before the maneuvering
of the great chess player of Asia. Regiments in
the rear fled while the way to safety was still
open. Others, broken by successive charges took
their stand wherever they found any rising
ground. Through them moved the armored
elephants, liquid fire descending from the
castles ON the giant beasts In a wrack of dust
and din on the sun-tortured plain the weary
Turks died Even many who fed fell dead from
exhaustion.
Bayazid with q thousand OF his janissaries

In order to save the increases In value
produced by the latter. They have
studied the errors made by cities which
have found their park development
most costly because of the lack of
planning.
der the direct supervision of Chief En-
gineer Root, has been authorized by the
planning commission. It will be headed
directly by an expert from out of the
area, whose services now are being
sought. and the other members of the
party are expected to be drafted from
people in the county. It Is one of the
most important steps in the recent de-
velopment of Montgomery's metropoli-
ious to have only the very best pro-
fessional services available to engage
in the task.
Two Areas In Survey.
Two park areas are to be made the
subject of the survey and it is estimated
that it will require about six months to
complete the job. The party will work
in the field throughout the Winter
months, as it was said that it is possible
to work better in this period. because
of the absence of foliage on the trees
anu J1S OylIlk uOWTl UI
veyors will inaugurate their work at
the District of Columbia line, where the
Rock Greek Park Of the District OF Co
lumbia ends, for the Maryland park will
be a continuance of the Federal project.
The first task Mr.. Root said will be
to lay out and stake the boulevard
highways which will skirt the pro-
posed parkway. These, of course, will
be the so-called taking lines OF the
park, between which all property will
be acquired. principally by dedication.
But some of it will be purchased. A
number OF owners within the area,
however. have indicated to the COM
mission that they are ready and willing
to dedicate lands for the park, realizing
that the improvement will greatly in
crease the value Of the remainder Of
their respective holdings.
The proposed parkway has been laid
out in two sections. the details of which
already have been described in The
Star. The first section will be from the
District of Columbia line to Connecticut
avenue, between Chevy Chase and Ken
sington, and the second part from that
point to Garrett Park near Wisconsin
avenue. At this point in this second
section the creek and project touch this
thoroughfare and here it is proposed
to establish an elaborate recreation CEN

SURVEY PLANS LA|D'
Further Active Steps Taken
in Rock Creek and Sligo
Development.
BY WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY.
Stan Correspondence OF The Star.

SILVER SPRING, Md, July 27.--
Montgomery County's elaborate park
system, which its sponsors are hoping
and striving to keep ahead of the rapid
urban development prevalent in the
metropolitan district adjacent to the
National Capital, will take another step
forward this week when it will emerge
from the designing stage in theory, in
the direction Of reality
For a large survey party is now be-
ing organized under the direction of
Irving c. Root, chief engineer Of the
Maryland National Capital Planning
Commission, with headquarters here.
This party is being formed for the ex-
press purpose of going into the virgin
territory along Rock Creek and Sligo
Branch in the metropolitan district,
and accurately lay of the taking lines,
preparatory to the next step, the ac-
QUESTION Of the land. 1t will have no
other duty or purpose.
Park Projects Pushed.
While development in the metropoli-
tan district of Montgomery County has
been widely discussed for months in
conjunction with the projects for a
greater National Capital, none of the
plans has been so rapidly and urgently
pushed as has that for the acquisition
of par. spaces. The officials of the
county, and particularly those in the
metropolitan district, including the
planning commission officers, early re-
allied the importance of acquiring lands
for parks ahead of other development

Surveys to BE Clearly Marked.
The surveys will be 30 clearly marked
that property owners will be able to Wis
ualize the lines of the park on their
property. Upon completion Of the two
taking lines, the party will devote its
time to surveying the various parcels so
that the commission and the owners
will have accurate dimensions to be
which are to be filed In the land records.
When the Rock Creek Park. the most
important, is completed, the surveys
will move to Sligo valley to lay out the
survey lines for this parkway. which
has already been laid out by the COM
missions planners on the maps. This
project will begin along the Sligo
branch ut Carroll avenue In Takoma
Park, and will be carried ut this time
branch crosses it about q mile east
of where this highway intersects Geor-
gia avenue at Sligo.
Plans already have been completed
for making parts of the proposed Rock
Creek Park accessible this Summer.
Some of the roadwayS already are in
the park, but they are for the most
part rougn ana little USED. TheSe VIII
be improved by the laying down of
smooth macadam surfaces, under the
direction of County Commissioner Lacy
Shaw, in charge Of the northern metro
politan district, who recently made a
complete inspection of these arteries at
the request of Chief Engineer Root.
Already Public Roads.
As these already are public roads, 1t
will not be necessary to await the sur
veying and land dedications in order
to carry 1t out, and it will be pushed
forward simultaneously with the impor-
tant survey work, the elimination OF
which will result shortly after in the
formal opening Of the area for the use
Of the public as a park.
Long before the survey work is COM
pleted, the new direct highway between
Sligo and Bethesda will have been
opened, and this will cut through the
park, with the provisions of a bridge
now under construction over Rock
Creek few hundred yards east of
the old Brookville road. This road will
serve as feeder for the pa3k districs.S
connecting as 1t will With ak of tbs
proposed roads running through the
park. 1t also will provide = direct con-
nection, by way of thS coiesville road,
with Sligo parkway.
