DATE OF PARADE CHANGED
TO MAY 20; THREE BANDS
Plans Being Laid for Mammoth
Celebration on That Date

That the mammoth celebration of
the Knights of Pythias, to be held in
Oakland prior to comforting the rank
of Page on a large class of candidates,
would be held on Monday, May 20, in
stead of Friday, May II, as originally
planned, was announced by Milburn
W. Mann, chancellor commander of
the local lodge.
This change was made necessary,
Mr.. Mann stated, because the supreme
keeper of the records and seal found
it impossible to be here on the night
of May II. Thus far it is certain that
the Terra Alta High school band
Crellin band, and the Gilbert-Brown
Boys band of Oakland will take part
in the parade, as also will the D. o.
X. X. drum corps and patrol team of
Cumberland.
All lodges in Allegany and Garrett
counties, Maryland, and perhaps
neighboring counties in West Virginia
will participate. Several applica-
cations for membership had been re-
ceived, Mr.. Mann stated, and the
largest number ever to be given the
rank in one evening, is expected to
be present.
Bids for Repairs Asked
Advertisement asking for bids for
the repairing and brick veneering of

Mccarthy and his men had
counted on Malone. Seeing him
batted out OF the box in a barrase
of Athletic base hits was blow to
their morale that they may never
get over. II the AS so out now
and win the series, as seems pro-
bable, you can mark that attack
against Malone as the break of the
series.
The Cubs counted on Malone as
on no other pitcher. The As
counted on Grove. Lefty came
through and Pat didn't.

was more spectacular than that

encounter. Yesterday was A hit
